Today’s song is from a social film Azad-1940.

The film was made by Bombay Talkies. Bombay Talkies was one of the premiere production companies of India in those times. Its films became very popular and the music was lapped up by the audience. There were other equally famous production houses like Prabhat Films,Ranjit studios and New Theatres of Calcutta, all churning out blockbusters. While Ranjit showed how to make money, Bombay Talkies added prestige to films.

Language in Hindi films was a great issue in those times and it is here that Bombay Talkies won hands down ! Prabhat films had its Hindi totally influenced by Marathi ( and hence was popular in western India), and New Theatres films had their Hindi straight lifted from books of Hindi Prachar Sabha- too pure ! It was only Bombay Talkies films which used the colloquial language of India- easily understood by the masses and acceptable to all classes equally. While Prabhat called it “Preet” , and New Theatres said ” Prem”, Bombay Talkies used the words like ” Pyar” and “Muhabbat” – a mix of Urdu and Hindi ( called Hindustani). Prabhat dialogues were too formal, while New Theatres’ were highly literary and Bombay Talkies used day to day language understood easily over the length and breadth of India.

“Jhoola-1941” is a well-known movie of its time and it has good songs. This movie made its debut on the blog long back on 26th September 2009, where the song ‘chalee re chalee meree naao chalee re’ was posted on the blog. Sixteen years have passed since the movie’s debut on the blog, and we have yet to cover all its’ songs on the blog. Availability of the songs on internet might have delayed the posting of other songs from this movie on the blog.
