Today’s song is from the film Kundan-1955.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone, produced and directed by Sohrab Modi. I liked Sohrab Modi very much. Not only because he could deliver long dialogues forcefully, but because his life story was very inspiring. In India there were few other filmmakers and directors who handled topics normally considered Taboo by others and some filmmakers who never hesitated to make films on unusual themes, when the trend was to make entertaining, musical and romantic films. Sohrab Modi was perhaps the only filmmaker who made films to expose the social ills through the cinematic medium from his first film.

Today’s song is from the film Ek Roz-1947.

How many readers will know that a record number of films were made in 1947 in Hindi till then ? 181 Films ! It took another almost 40 years to cross this number. In the year 1985, the number of films made was 185.

Why was it that in 1947 alone such a high number of Hindi films were made ? The answer is – Partition of India in 1947 and the subsequent migration of Muslim film artistes to the newly created nation on the basis of Religion – Pakistan. Partition of India was the biggest blow to India, which had remained One Nation for thousands of years, despite having many religions thriving in it. Anyway, that is not the topic here.

Ah.. Raj Kapoor – the Showman. Sometimes also referred to as the Greatest Showman of Indian Cinema. A lifetime affair with the camera – very prominently handled both ends, sometimes in front of it, and then also behind it. Starting with childhood appearances accompanying his illustrious father to studios. And on to be a performer himself. And very soon, a producer – to quench his thirst, rather his search, for the ultimate story of love.

Raj Kapoor – the eternal seeker, the eternal explorer – in quest for the meaning of love equation between a man and a woman. All his life he produced films. The subjects, the scenarios varied, but against all the scenarios the unwavering theme, the unchanging premise of emotions flowing from one heart to another.

On this date ten years ago (13 April 2013), nine songs from nine different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
7886 Shyaam se nainan mila aayi Raj Nartaki(1941) One song covered out of 8 by now
7887 Ab na been bajaa Sharbati Aankhen(1945) 4 songs covered out of 10 by now

We observe that three movies (out of nine) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (viz on 13 april 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with six movies that are unYIPPEED and therefore eligible for Blog ten year challenge today (13 April 2023).

“Sharbati Aankhen”(1945) is one BTYC eligible movie today.

He was only 48 years old when he passed away in 1951. One of the pioneering luminaries of cinema in Bengal, as it was emerging in the 1920s and 30s, he was a multi skilled cinema person who was an actor, a producer, director, script writer, cinematographer, film editor, make-up specialist, lighting specialist – yes, quite a portfolio of skills.

Remembering Pramthesh Chandra Barua, on his remembrance day today. He passed away this day, in 1951.

Films are regarded as director’s medium. He is like a captain of the ship. It is the director’s responsibility to make his film successful – critically as well as financially.

A film director may have directed many successful films but he will generally be known by his one classic cult film. For instance, when we talk about PC Barua, ‘Devdas’ (1935) comes to our mind first though he had directed other successful films like ‘Mukti’ (1937) and ‘Jawaab’ (1942).  In case of Mehboob Khan, it is ‘Mother India’ (1957) though he had directed many successful films in the 1940s. K Asif and ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ (1960), Guru Dutt and ‘Pyaasa’, (1957) and Kamal Amrohi and ‘Pakeezah’ (1972) are inseparable. In the international arena, Raj Kapoor is known more for his film, ‘Aawaara’ (1951) than other equally successful films. This is not an exhaustive list.
