‘Ek Din Kaa Baadshah’ (1964) was produced and directed by Jugal Kishore. The cast included Jairaj, Nishi, Daljeet, Jugal Kishore, Sundar, Mohan Choti, Kumud Tripathi, Madhumati, Naazi, Majnu, Chandrima Bhaduri, Sulochana Chatterjee, Sheela Desai, Kathana etc.

There was a similar sounding film, ‘Ek Din Kaa Sultan’ (1945). The story of the film  was based on an minor historical event. Mughal Emperor, Humayun made a Bhishti (Water-career), the king for one day in token of his gratitude for saving him from drowning in River Ganga while crossing the river to retreat from the advancing army of Sher Shah Suri.

‘Ek Din Kaa Baadshah’ (1945) has a fantasy story. A vagabond trying to become a responsible son to his mother, decides to start trading business. In a market place,  he meets a person who, in reality, is the king of his state in disguise. The vagabond criticizes the rule of the current king as the criminals are roaming free. He makes the vagabond the king for one day to understand that it is not an easy job for a king to run his kingdom. In this process, the common love interest of the king and the vagabond develop  on a princess. But instead of the clashes between the two, the vagabond sacrifices his love interest for the king when he comes to know that the princess loves the king and not him.

The story of the film in detail is as under:

Yusuf (Jugal Kishore), son of a businessman has become vagabond after the death of his father. He spends most of his time with his close friends in a gambling den and drinking and is in love with dancer, Shabnam (Naazi) in the gambling den. One day, while the procession of Shahzadi (Nishi) was passing through the path, Yusuf breaks the protocol  and sees her by sliding the curtains of her palanquin. The security personnels move to catch him but he fights with them and manages to escape.

Yusuf returns home in a drunken state and additionally his mother (Sulochana Chatterjee) gets worried as the security staff is after him for breaking the protocol by seeing Shahzadi out of her veil. Fed-up with his behaviour, his mother decides to end her life. Yusuf takes a final vow that he would give up drinking and gambling and explore the business of  his late father to earn income from his own efforts rather than relying on his inherited income.

Shahzadi has been staying with Malika-e-Alam (Chandrima Bhaduri) as her guest and she wants her son, King Parvez (Jairaj) to marry her. But Parvez reminds her that he has taken a vow that until he finds out his father’s whereabout and if he is dead, until he punishes the killer of his father, he will not marry. Shahzadi hears their conversations but Malika-e-Alam assures her that while Yusuf will be punished for breaking the protocol, Parvez will marry her when the time is opportune. Shahzadi says that she will wait for King Parvez.

One day, King Parvez, while going out incognito, finds Shahzadi who is in her common attire. Assuming to be a commner, Parvez tries to tell something to her but she spurns his advances as she has not recognised him. Even King Parvez has not recognised her as Shahzadi as he has never seen her face being in veil in the palace. Ever since he has seen Shahzadi as a commoner,  King Parvez has fallen in love with her. He meets her incognito but she does not give her response as her eyes are set on King Parvez.

On the other side, Yusuf’s friends are wondering as to what happened to him as he has not met them for a long period. One day Yusuf visits the gambling den to meet his friends and tests their willingness to help him financially in case of need. All of them show their inability to help him. He turns to Shabnam for help but he is not even allowed to meet her. It dawns to Yusuf that his friends and Shabnam are fair weather friends and ungrateful. He decides to pursue his father’s business.

One day, while visiting the market place to look for some business opportunity, Yusuf meets a person assuming him to be a fellow businessman. They become friends and Yusuf invites the person to his house for a lunch where they can discuss business. The fact is that the person is none other than the king of his state who has a habit of roaming incognito to get the pulse of the people. In their conversations, Yusuf criticises the king for his inapt handling of criminal activities in the state. King Parvez decides to make him the king for one day without his knowledge. He serves Yusuf a drink which makes him unconscious. With the help of King’s security guards, Yusuf is shifted to King’s palace.

Next morning, Yusuf wakes up in the atmosphere of royalty. All the royal staff has been instructed to treat Yusuf as a king for one day. After some initial confusion, Yusuf starts performing his duties as a king in which he pronounces punishment for two days of prison to his close friends for being ungrateful. During this period, Yusuf meets Shahzadi and falls in love with her while Shahzadi assuming to be King Parvez also happy that at last he is showing interest in her.

As the time of Yusuf as a king for one day is about to end, King Parvez, through Shahzadi, gives him a drink which makes him come to his normal sense. However, Yusuf finds it difficult to believe that he is no longer the king, In the event, he creates problems for royal staff. Shahzadi also spurns him when she comes to know that he is not the king. With so much chaos created, as a preventive measure, Yusuf is arrested and put behind the bar. However, he escapes from the prison and returns home.

One day in the market, he accidentally meets King Parvez in disguise and takes him to his house. Actually, Yusuf wanted to confront  him for serving him the drink which created an illusion for him. But when King Parvez introduces himself as such with reasons, Yusuf is pleasantly surprised. King Parvez asked Yusuf to be present in his palace on the next day when he will be appointed as his Security Chief.

At this stage, the story turns into the usual ‘B’ grade stunt/action films. King Parvez’s father has been kidnapped by his own Vazir to force him to reveal the location of the secret treasure. He is also plotting to kill King Parvez to make his son (Daljeet) the king. Yusuf gets to know the plotting of Vazir and the location where King Parvez’s father has been held captive. King Pervez orders Yusuf to proceed to the location with the army to get his father released.

After a long-drawn sword fights with Vazir’s guards, Yusuf gets King Parvez’s father released. King Parvez is extremely happy to meet his father after a long time. He asks Yusuf to ask anything he wants and he will grant without any hesitation. Yusuf asks for Shahzadi’s hand for his marriage. King Parvez grants his wish despite the fact that after the release of his father, he was to marry her. But Malika-e-Alam is not happy as she has promised Shahzadi that King Parvez will marry her after his father is released. Also, King Parvez is in love with Shahzadi when he comes to know that the girl he loved as a commoner was none other than Shahzadi.

Heated arguments takes place between Malika-e-Alam and King Parvez, which Yusuf overhears. He decides to retreat from his wish but King Parvez does not allow and orders him to get ready for his Nikkah with Shahzadi on the next day. Yusuf agrees on one condition that he be made the king for the day when his Nikkah is performed. King Pervez agrees. On the day of Nikkah, Yusuf, as a king for one day, orders the Kazi to perform Nikkah of Shahzadi with King Parvez who has to accept the orders of the king of the day. The film ends with the marriage of Shahzadi with King Parvez.

The film had 8 songs including a double version song written by Prem Warbartani (7) and Gulshan Bawra (1) which were set to music by Hansraj Bahl. Four songs have been covered on the Blog. I present the 5th and the 6th song which are dual version songs – the first one,  a duet rendered by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhosle  and the second, the Mahendra Kapoor solo. The lyrics and moods of both the songs are different. Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhosle sing for Jugal Kishore and Naazi, respectively.

The context of the duet song is that during his time of indulgence in pleasure, a drunken Yusuf (Jugal Kishore) sings the song in a happy mood for Shabnam (Naazi), whom he is in love with. Shabnam responds with singing and with her dance performance. Yusuf sings the solo version of the song when all his close friends turn out to be ungrateful and Shabnam refuses to meet him.

Lyrics:

Duet Version – Based on Video Clip

tere haathhon mein apni zindagi ka saaz dete hain
chale aao bhari mehfil se ham aawaaz dete hain
 
raat bhar hamko na uthne diyaa maikhaane se
kabhi aankhon se pilaayee kabhi paimaane se
kabhi aankhon se pilaayee kabhi paimaane se
 
haaye kyaa rang hai kyaa masti o raanaayee hai
aa aa aa
aaj jannat meree aankhon mein utar aayi hai….ai

jab kiyaa hai kabhi jannat kaa tasawwur hamne
jab kiyaa hai kabhi jannat kaa tasawwur hamne
teri tasweer ubhar aayi hai paimaane se
teri tasweer ubhar aayi hai paimaane se
kabhi aankhon se pilaayee kabhi paimaane se
 
na bhari bazm se darte ho na ghabraate ho
kaise naadaan ho jo daaman se lipat jaate ho…o o o

bekhudi mein kisi daaman se lipatne ka mazaa
bekhudi mein kisi daaman se lipatne ka mazaa
jaa ke poochho kisi behke huye deewaane se
jaa ke poochho kisi behke huye deewaane se
kabhi aankhon se pilaayee kabhi paimaane se
 
haa aa aa
jaam mai hi to zaroori nahin jeene ke liye
kis ne majboor kiya hai tumhen peene ke liye..ae

taubaa karne hi chale thhe ke rukhe roshan par
taubaa karne hi chale thhe ke rukhe roshan par
chhaa gayi kaali ghata zulf bikhar jaane se
chhaa gayi kaali ghata zulf bikhar jaane se
kabhi aankhon se pilaayee kabhi paimaane se
 
tumne jab bhi rukhe maasoom pe daali nazren
hamne sharmaa ke sare bazm jhukaa lee nazren…en

teri jhukti huyee nazron kaa ishaara paa kar
teri jhukti huyee nazron kaa ishaara paa kar
hamne takraa diya paimaane ko paimaane se
hamne takraa diya paimaane ko paimaane se
kabhi aankhon se pilaayee kabhi paimaane se
 
2. Solo Version – Based on Video Clip
 
tere haathhon mein apni zindagi ka saaz dete hain
chale aao bhari mehfil se hum aawaaz dete hain
 
hosh aaya to wo rangeen nazaare na rahe
naaz thha tum pe magar tum bhi hamaare na rahe
naaz thha tum pe magar tum bhi hamaare na rahe
aaj apne bhi nazar aate hain begaane se
aaj apne bhi nazar aate hain begaane se
 
jin ki azmat ko dil-o-jaan se saraahaa hamne
zindagi bhar jinhen pooja jinhen chaaha hamne
zindagi bhar jinhen pooja jinhen chaaha hamne
but wahi toote huye nikle hain butkhaane se
but wahi toote huye nikle hain butkhaane se
aaj apne bhee nazar aate hain begaane se
 
aaj kee raat mere hosh udaa de saaqi
mai nahin hai to mujhe zahar pila de saaqi
mai nahin hai to mujhe zahar pila de saaqi
warna main uth ke chala jaaunga maikhaane se
warna main uth ke chala jaaunga maikhaane se

युगल रूपांतर

तेरे हाथों में अपनी ज़िंदगी का साज़ देते हैं
चले आओ भारी महफ़िल से हम आवाज़ देते हैं

रात भर हमको ना उठने दिया मयखाने से
कभी आँखों से पिलाई कभी पैमाने से
कभी आँखों से पिलाई कभी पैमाने से

हाय क्या रंग है क्या मस्ती ओ रानाई है
हा आ आ
आज जन्नत मेरी आँखों में उतर आई है

जब किया है कभी जन्नत का तसव्वुर हमने
जब किया है कभी जन्नत का तसव्वुर हमने
तेरी तस्वीर उभर आई है पैमाने से
तेरी तस्वीर उभर आई है पैमाने से
कभी आँखों से पिलाई कभी पैमाने से

ना भरी बज़्म से डरते हो ना घबराते हो
कैसे नादान हो दामन से लिपट जाते हो ओ ओ. . .

बेखुदी में किसी दामन से लिपटने का मज़ा
बेखुदी में किसी दामन से लिपटने का मज़ा
जा के पूछो किसी बहके हुए दीवाने से
जा के पूछो किसी बहके हुए दीवाने से
कभी आँखों से पिलाई कभी पैमाने से

हा आ आ
जाम ओ मय  ही तो जरूरी नहीं जीने के लिए
किस ने मजबूर किया है तुम्हें पीने के लिए

तौबा करने ही चले थे के रूख ए रौशन पर
तौबा करने ही चले थे के रूख ए रौशन पर
छा गई काली घटा ज़ुल्फ़ बिखर जाने से
छा गई काली घटा ज़ुल्फ़ बिखर जाने से
कभी आँखों से पिलाई कभी पैमाने से

तुम ने जब भी रूख ए मासूम पे डाली नजरें
हमने शरमा के सर ए बज़्म झुका ली नजरें

तेरी झुकती हुई नज़रों का इशारा पा कर
तेरी झुकती हुई नज़रों का इशारा पा कर
हमने टकरा दिया पैमाने को पैमाने से
हमने टकरा दिया पैमाने को पैमाने से
कभी आँखों से पिलाई कभी पैमाने से

एकल रूपांतर

तेरे हाथों में अपनी ज़िंदगी का साज़ देते हैं
चले आओ भारी महफ़िल से हम आवाज़ देते हैं

होश आया तो वो रंगीन नज़ारे ना रहे
नाज़ था तुम पे मगर तुम भी हमारे ना रहे
नाज़ था तुम पे मगर तुम भी हमारे ना रहे

आज अपने भी नज़र आते हैं बेगाने से
आज अपने भी नज़र आते हैं बेगाने से

जिनकी अज़मत को दिल ओ जाँ से सराहा हम ने
ज़िंदगी भर जिसे पूजा जिसे चाहा हम ने
ज़िंदगी भर जिसे पूजा जिसे चाहा हम ने
बुत वही टूटे हुए निकले हैं बुतखाने से
बुत वही टूटे हुए निकले हैं बुतखाने से
आज अपने भी नज़र आते हैं बेगाने से

आज की रात मेरे होश उड़ा दे साक़ी
मय नहीं है तो मुझे ज़हर पिला दे साक़ी
मय नहीं है तो मुझे ज़हर पिला दे साक़ी
वरना मैं उठ के चला जाऊंगा मयखाने से
वरना मैं उठ के चला जाऊंगा मयखाने से

Today’s song is from a Costume film ‘Awaara Shahzadi’ (1956).

1956 was the Silver Jubilee year of Indian Talkie Films. This year, the most successful films were entertainers. There were of course some films carrying social messages. One of them was ‘Jaagte Raho’ (‘Ek Din Ratre’ in Bangla), which tried to bring out the upper middle class hypocrisy in a metro city like Bombay. Initially, the film did not make any ripples, but after it won international awards, it became very popular. (People of other nations have to tell us that our film is good !). A social message, excellent music and solid story – the hallmarks of an RK film were all there in it.

I have mentioned it several times that after posting the century post in the blog, I heave a huge sigh of relief and start relaxing, secure in the knowledge that the next century post was far far away. But the next century post occasion arrives way earlier (it seems to me) than expected. It demonstrates that posting 100 articles is not such a daunting task if one just avoids DOT days and posts one or two articles in a day.

Today’s song is from a folk tale based film ‘Naulakha Haar’ (1953).

The film was inspired by the famous folk tale of Rajasthan about the love story of Alha-Udal, with the background of 2 warring kingdoms. A lot of cinematic liberty is taken while writing the film story, in order to make the film appealing to more types of audience. Films on famous folk tales are not uncommon in the Hindi film industry. In fact they are a great source of imagination to form hundreds of stories, with desirable changes in the script. Hindi film makers have been making films on such traditional folk stories from all over India. When they exhausted such stories they turned to stories from Arabia and Europe too, besides our own Mythology and Puranas. Some of the love stories I remember offhand , which were made into Hindi films are….

I have had the link and lyrics of this song saved in my files for some months now.  The month of July 2023 was a month of heavy rains and floods in many parts of India.  We had incessant rains in Mumbai also, where it was raining day and night, with a few breathers in between.

The tinsel town industry is a troubling mix of good and bad fortunes. All the zest and joy that we witness in front of the arc lights is a small part of this business. The larger part of mixed fortunes, career heartbreaks and un-celebrated talents is in the shadow world behind the arc lights. This world is invisible to the viewers because the glare of the arc lights does not allow a view into the darkness behind. For every success story that we celebrate, there are ten times more stories of despair and dejection.

28th Sept 2022 marks the first birthday of Lata Mangeshkar without her physical presence in this world. Due to old age and couple of hospitalizations at the fag end of her life, her passing away on that fateful day of 06th Feb 2022 was not really shocking so to say.

But then, an emptiness befell upon music lovers all over the world. It was as if a part of our lives was lost forever. It was a different kind of mourning; one of helplessness and the bare truth that such a soul would never be born again. And such is a gargantuan legacy of work left behind that one can only sit back and wonder how an individual could achieve so much in a single life. It is not about the span-life of her singing or the number of songs that she has sung, but of the utmost dedication, sincerity to her career and the love of the masses that she received.
