An obscure film ‘Ranee’ (1943), which was a bi-lingual film made by Calcutta’s Barua Productions.

The film was produced and directed by PC Barua for Barua Productions, Calcutta. The music was by Kamal Dasgupta. Barring a few big movies, the Hindi-Bangla bilingual films did not become as successful as their Bangla versions. I feel the reasons were mainly two. One was that the cast of such films consisted of most names, with which the Hindi audience was not familiar. The second point was the style of acting and the dialogue delivery of the Bangla actors was deemed strange in Hindi belt. The Hindi used in films made in Bengal was too pure to be of the liking of people who were used to Hindustani language. The audience preferred ‘pyar‘ or ‘muhabbat‘ to ‘prem‘, for example.

Tu Chhupi Hai Kahaan
Main Tadapta Yahaan. . .

The anguished voice of Diwakar, the poet, that begins as a whisper from a famished throat, rises up to the heavens, as the poet is so painfully trying to search for his creativity – his muse, his love of life, a fantasy woman whom he has woven into his writings.

Mohini, whom he meets often at many a turn of the passages of life, is the romance that is rooted in his imagination, the power of creativity that propels his pen to create music and songs which are not understood, not accepted by his family and dear ones.

Phir Aane Laga Yaad Wahi Pyaar Ka Aalam

This, and many other iconic compositions flow through the mind when the name Iqbal Qureshi is mentioned. One of that group of hugely talented music directors who never could break into the so called ‘Legendary Club’, no matter so many of his creations have become legends in as of themselves. Starting with his first film ‘Panchaayat’ from 1958 – the iconic duets “Taa Thaiya Karte Aana, O Jaadugar Morey Sainyyan” (Lata and Geeta) and “Haal Ye Kar Diya Zaalim Tere Tadpaane Ne” (Rafi and Lata), and browsing through musical gems of such films as ‘Bindya’ and ‘Love In Simla’ (both 1960), ‘Umar Qaid’ (1961), ‘Ye Dil Kisko Doon’ (1963), the legendary ‘Cha Cha Cha’ and the lilting ‘Qawwaali Ki Raat’ of 1964, ‘Sarhadi Lutera’ of 1966, on to strumming the songs of the unreleased ‘Pyaar Bana Afsaana’, all the way up to ‘Lakhpati’ of 1991. An era that is dotted with lilting creations of Iqbal Qureshi.

Remembering Iqbal Qureshi on his birth anniversary on 12th May. At 6 feet 4 inches, he was arguably the tallest member of the industry in his time.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 31
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Reuse phenomena is quite a prevalent feature in Hindi cinema. We are already at the 31st episode of this series, and I must say we have just scratched the surface. There are reuse songs, there are partial reuse songs, there are medleys of songs, and even in some cases, there is a wholesale reuse in the entire film. A great example is the 2002 film ‘Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar’. Bharat Shah, the producer of this film is an out and out die hard fan of Pancham Da, and this film showcases a dozen earlier hit songs of RD Burman.
