Today’s song is from a 75 year old Mythological film- Shri Ganesh Mahima aka Shri Krishna Vivah-1950.

The film was made by Basant pictures, Bombay and it was directed by its owner Homi Wadia.

It is ironic that while Homi Wadia separated from his elder brother J.B.H. Wadia and consequently from the company- Wadia Movietone on the issue of insisting on continuing making stunt films, was now making Social and Mythological films and Nadia, who also left with him was working in Stunt and action films of other producers.

The Music Director was S.N.Tripathi. The cast of the film was Meena Kumari, Mahipal, S.N.Tripathi, Moolchand, Dalpat, Amarnath and others.

Today’s song is from an interesting comedy film- 300 days and after-1938.

The title of this film itself was of a different type and not like any other film so far. The story was also of a different type.

This was the first decade of the Talkie films. it had just completed 7 years with 829 films, but in these 7 years many experimental films were made and various types of genres were tried. In these years the stress had been on making films on Folk tales, Mythological and Historical stories, remakes of successful Silent films, Love stories and Social films etc.

Today’s song is from the film Narsi Bhagat aka Ram Dhun – 1957.

1957 – what a year it was ! The best year in the Golden Era! The best year in the 50s! The best year for melody and music! Such wonderful films came this year!!! The lineup of 1957 films looks like the selection of the creamy layer in everlasting music – ‘Mother India’, ‘Pyasa’, ‘Tumsa Nahin Dekha’, ‘Bhabhi’, ‘Asha’, ‘Miss Mary’, ‘Naya Daur’, ‘Do Aankhen Barah Haath’, ‘Paying Guest’, ‘Nau Do Gyarah’, ‘Dekh Kabira Roya’. ‘Nausherwaan e Adil ‘, ‘Gateway Of India’, ‘Hum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke ‘, ‘Kathputali’, ‘Sharada’

Today’s song is from an 84 year old film Charnon ki Dasi-1941.

1941 was the first year in the second decade of the Talkie Era and it was the beginning of the emergence of a New film industry. When Talkie started in 1931, for many years after that, the films were made by the people who had done work in the Silent films. These films had a spill over for the silent era artistes. Once the films started talking,most silent artists who could not speak Hindi or Urdu automatically disappeared. Thus started the influx of new actors who could speak Hindi and sing songs, in whatever way they could. Intelligent directors like V Shantaram,Bhavnani, Sohrab Modi, Chandulal Shah, Himanshu Rai, B N Sircar, L V Prasad and a host of Gujarati directors understood that the Talkie needs a different treatment than silent films. Music directors from stage dramas tried their hand in composing film music.

There has been very few Hindi films produced with the main theme of Indian classical dances. As far as I know, the first Hindi film with Indian classical dances as the main theme was Uday Shankar’s ‘Kalpana’ (1948) in which his wife, Amla Shankar was in the lead role of a classical dancer. This was followed by V Shantaram’s ‘Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje’ (1955) in which his then future wife, Sandhya was in the lead role of a classical dancer along the Gopikrishna. Another Hindi film I remember is ‘Naache Mayuri’ (1986) which was more like a biographical film on the classical dancer, Sudha Chandran who lost her leg but continued her dancing career after lot of efforts. In this film, Sudha Chandran acted as herself.

There may be a few more films with the omnibus dance theme. I was aware of the film, ‘Paayal Ki Jhankaar, (1980) but, until recently, I did not know that this film was also made with the main theme of Indian classical dances. Perhaps, my mind about this film may have been prejudiced by another film with the same name released in 1968.

Today’s song is from an 88 year old film Jeevan Prabhat-1937.

In the initial era of Talkie films, Calcutta’s New Theatres and Poona’s Prabhat were the most well known filmmakers. They used to make films on social issues. Particularly, Prabhat was famous for keeping their films centred on the Reform themes like,Dowry, Child Marriage, Second Marriage, Cast difference etc.From the mid 30s one more company came into limelight and that was Bombay Talkies- founded by Himanshu Rai and Devika Rani. They also followed the trend and films on social issues like Untouchability, illiteracy etc were made. Today’s song is from a film made by Bombay Talkies- Jeewan Prabhat-37.
