Today’s song is from a Cult Film ” Har Har Mahadev”-1950.

I have mentioned several times here that our family was a Kattar Shiv Bhakt. So, it was no wonder that we all saw every film collectively, which had some connection to Lord Shiva. Film Har Har Mahadev-1950 was afterall a ‘Cult’ film, so there was no count how many times we saw this film. In the later years too, whenever this film came for the 2nd, 3rd or ‘N’th re run, I had seen it.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Taqdeer’ (1943).

This was the film in which 2 great artistes came together along with 2 other great actors. Mehboob Khan who produced and directed this film, introduced Nargis, first time as an adult heroine. The hero was Motilal and his father’s role was done by actor Chandra Mohan. In real life also, Chandramohan always treated Motilal as his son. Incidentally, the name of Motilal, in his childhood period in this film was PAPPU ! If the film was made today, Motilal would have elected to leave the film instead of having his name as PAPPU !!

Hullo Atuldom

For this post, I should thank our trusted Doordarshan National channel. I saw ‘Doosri Dulhan’ (which had had its theatrical release on 14th October 1983) in the day. Found a song in it, where the concerned actress played a character which was almost similar to the character she had played in the film ‘Mandi’ (1983) don’t know if she shot for the two films simultaneously or which film followed which film!!!. Also, the way she played the character reminded me, briefly, of Sharmila Tagore from ‘Mausam’ (1975).

Mukesh and His Composers – 33

Singer and composer Narayan Dutt is a victim of same-name confusion where he is always mistaken for the more famous N Datta. The confusion further escalates with Datt, Dutta etc. being used for both composers. The career of Narayan Dutt has already been written by our Arunkumar ji in his posts for the songs “Dagmag Dagmag Doley Naiya” (film ‘Jogan’, 1950) and “Gupchup Un Sang Ho Gayin Akhiyaan Chaar Re” (film ‘Mordhwaj’, 1952)

Mukesh and His Composers – 32

We continue the series with composer Vishnu Khanna. He seems to have composed music for only two films. Both these films have been introduced on the blog with one song each as follows.

  1. Poorab Chaloge Chaloongi, Paschim Chaloge Chaloongi – Patni (1970), a solo by Suman Kalayanpur which has been covered by Sudhir ji
  2. Kaisi Shaam Suhaani Aayi Re – Pasand Apni Apni (1972), a solo by Rafi saab covered by Satyajit Rajurkar ji

The composer continues to remain obscure. No information seems to be available on him other than what is already known.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Beti’ (1941).

This film was made by Ranjit Movietone and it was directed by Jayant Desai. The music was by Gyan Dutt. The film cast consisted of Khursheed, Vasanti, Arun Ahuja, E Bilimorea, Ghori, Kesari, Khatoon, Nagendra, Rewa Shankar etc. 1941 was the beginning of the second decade of the talkie films. Many actors, singers, MDs and directors who rolled over to talkie films from the silent era, slowly started retiring and the new generation took over slowly. Actors like Nagendra, Rewa Shankar, Ghori, Kesari, Khatoon, and Bilimorea who were in this film ended their careers in the next few years.
