Today’s song is a song sung by Madhubala Jhaveri, for the film Jeevan Sathi-1957.

This film had a criss-cross and a jumble of lovers. The imagination of the story writer was stretched to the maximum to get the criss-crossed loving pairs together by the end of the film. It was a story unique by itself and I guess such a thing would never happen in real life. The film was produced by Dhanwant Shah under his own banner- D.S.Films, Bombay. It was directed by R.S.Tara and the music was by Bulo C Rani with the assistant C.Arjun- a composer in the making.

In Spite of having a well known star cast and a good music composer, the film was not successful because the story was not believable. First, let us see what the story was….

JEEWAN SAATHI-1957 was an obscure film,though its cast was one of the most wanted in those days.It was a story of a young man Harish,whose father dies when in foreign country. His mother too dies here and he finds that his sister has broken her engagement to a boy and fallen in love with a married advocate,having also a son.The jilted boy meets with an accident ,lands in a hospital where he meets the advocate’s wife and falls in love with her. Harish clears all the mess and all are happily settled including him with Usha kiron.

The Hero of this film was Ashok Kumar. In 1957, he was already 46 year old. He was such a charismatic actor that even in his age -41 to 50 years (and beyond) he was much in demand as a young hero, singing songs and loving much younger actresses as his Heroines. People went to see him on screen irrespective of what the film was about and who the other actors were. This was the exclusive honour for an actor !

The cast of the film was Ashok kumar, Usha Kiron, Anup Kumar, jabin jalil,Amarnath, Shammi,Protima devi, Murad, Dhumal ( His name was always written wrong in Hindi as ‘ धूमल’ , whereas it was actually ‘ धुमाळ ‘), Iftekhar, Salvi, Leela Mishra etc.etc. The name Salvi in the cast may be unknown to many, so let us know more about him here.

Dinkar Shivram Salvi (04 December 1904 – 29 October 1980) better known as screen name “Dada Salvi”, was an actor of the silent & talkie era of Indian Cinema. He was a part of the first Indian talkie film “Alam Ara” (1931). He has acted in 20 silent movies. He has worked in Hindi & Marathi movies.

Dinkar Shivram Salvi aka Dada Salvi was born on 04 December 1904 in a village Phansob in Ratnagiri, Bombay Presidency undivided India, now in Maharashtra. After completing his education, he joined the Police Department. During service period, he was taking part in plays. Shri Tipnis, a well known play master saw Salvi and advised to come to Bombay. Acting in plays became a part of his life, so he decided to leave the job and came to Bombay.

In Bombay, Tipnis introduced Salvi to K. B. Athawale, working as manager, actor, director in Excelsior Film Company owned by Seth Wazeer Aziz. The company was searching for talented actors and Athwale offered Salvi to join Excelsior Film Company on a monthly salary of ₹. 25. Salvi accepted the job & joined Excelsior Film Company.

Salvi’s first silent film was “Khoon-e-Nahaq” (1928) and became very popular. Looking to his potential in acting, The Imperial Film Company offered Dalvi work with higher monthly pay. After joining Imperial Film Company, Salvi acted in 20 silent films like Madanmanjri, Indira BA, Bhola Shikar, Cinema Girl, Hamara Hindustan, Raat Ki Baat, Khuda Ki Shan and many more. It is said, while working with Imperial Film Company, Salvi fell in love with his co-actress Sakhubai & later they married. Probably it was the first love Marriage of the first Maharashtrian acting couple of Hindi Films.

Salvi has worked with Jayant Desai in the film Poladi Pahelwan – Iron Man (1931) for Paramount Films. He also acted in Marathi films like Aut Ghatkecha Raja, Bhakta Prahlad, Chatrapati Sambhaji, Thaksen Rajputra under Dadasaheb Torne of Saraswati Cinetone. Salvi’s role in “Chatrapati Sambhaji ” as Sambhaji’s evil advisor ‘Kalusha Kabji’ won him great acclaim. Impressed with the acting of Salvi as “Kalusha Kabji”, Huns Pictures, Kolhapur, invited him to join them on a three figure salary. Salvi left Imperial and joined Huns.

“Premveer” (1937) was Salvi’s first film with Huns Pictures. This was a turning point in his career where he came to be associated with Master Vinayak & Marathi Films. Their team led to many wonderful performances. He was then seen mostly in Marathi Films with an occasional Hindi film. In Brahmchari, Salvi played the role of a father of the heroine. Salvi acted in Marathi films like Savangadi, Brandi Chi Batli, Devta and many more. Later Huns Pictures changed to Navyug Chitrapat and made Amrut (1941). Salvi then worked in many Hindi and Marathi films with Master Vinayak, V. Shantaram. After 1947, Dada Salvi mainly worked in Marathi films. Dada Salvi died on 29 October 1980 in Poona (Pune), Maharashtra.

In the film Jeevan sathi-1957, there were 5 Lyricists and 7 singers for 8 songs. Today’s song is sung by Madhubala Jhaveri. She was not a very prolific singer like other leading singers. She sang about 100= songs in 52 Hindi films from 1951 to 1968. She sang in Marathi and her songs, especially the Bhavgeets, were very popular. Her photo was not available for many years and people were very curious about how she looked. This reminds me of another well known singer – Shamshad Begum. Though she sang from 1941 onwards, till about the 60’s her photo was not available. It was only after her father died, she published just one photo and subsequently other photos also came about.

Madhubala Jhaveri was born on 19-5-1935 in Bombay’s predominantly Marathi locality Girgaon. Her mother Heerabai and aunt (mausi) Shyamalabai Majgaonkar were singers. They belonged to Sawantwadi, in Konkan in coastal Maharashtra. These sisters started a Music school ” Shri Swami Samarth Sangeet Vidyalay” in 1929. Singers like Mohantara Talpade and nalini jaywant were their students.

Heerabai’s husband Vanjibhai Jhaveri was from Surat. He worked in the Ford company in Bombay. Madhubala was third among 5 children – 2sons and 3 daughters. She learnt many musical instruments. She did M.A. in Music from S.N.D.T. University and Sangeet Visharad from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya.

She was invited for a Marathi film, by Snehal Bhatkar. Then Manohar lal Arora gave her an opportunity to sing for the film Bhoole Bhatke-52. However, her songs in film Rajpoot-51 were released first. Hansraj Behl became her Mentor. He gave her further training and also arranged for her Urdu tuition.

Madhubala sang in 14 films for Hansraj Behl. She also sang for C.Ramchandra, Mukesh, Jamal Sen, Bhole Shreshtha, Avinash Vyas, Krishna Dayal, Vinod, manna Dey, A.R.Qureshi, Shankar Dasgupta, Ram ganguli, Snehal Bhatkar, Dhumi khan, Ramlal, Bipin-Babul, Husnlal – Bhagatram, Shankar-Jaikishen, Sanmukh upadhyay, Shivram etc.

She got married to Madan Mohan Chawla in 1958, She had two daughters and one son. Her husband died in 1990. When the Hindi film industry left her high and dry, she sang on All India Radio. She did shows in the USA, Canada, Europe and Africa. She sang in Swahili language, Punjabi, Gujarati and Marathi. Madhubala died on 11-9-2013. ( based on an article in the book ” Swar Sagar” by Swapnil Porey).

Today’s song is the last and final song of this film making it an YIPPEED film.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 125
————————————————————————————–

Today’s song under the ‘blog ten year challenge 2013-2023’ is from the movie ‘Post Master-1955’.

Normally, it is Atul ji who is regularly presenting songs under ‘blog ten-year challenge’ with Prakash ji contributing the lyrics. However when I noticed this movie ‘Post Master’ falling under this ‘challenge’ I requested Prakash ji to allow me to send this song post.

It was because I had sent the lyrics for the first song from this movie ten years back in ‘2013’ when I was a ‘new member’ on the blog as a ‘lyrics contributor’. When I shared the lyrics for the first song from this movie I was not aware about the details of this movie ‘Post Master’ then. Now equipped with HFGK I wish to update the information about this movie on the blog and also share it’s second song (since so far the song shared in ‘2013’ remains as the only song from this movie posted on the blog.).

Well, first of all we need to update that this movie ‘Post Master’ is a ‘Un-released’ movie of the fifties. While presenting the first song from this movie on the blog Shri Atul ji had rightly mentioned,

“Post Master” (1955) was a movie I had never heard about. In fact, I wonder if this movie figures in the list of movies released in 1955.

Yes, this movie does not figure in the movies released. As per HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960) this movie was not released at all. The Geet Kosh also mentions that the recording of the songs of this movie was completed in November’1955.

There is no information provided in the Geet Kosh about the producer, director and cast of this movie except that it was a ‘social genre’ movie under the banners of ‘Shri R.B. Productions’.

Geet Kosh lists six songs for this movie with a possibility of more songs (not known) in this movie.

Verma Malik is the lyricist and Ram Ganguly is the music composer for this movie.

Today we will listen to the second song from this movie.

Before that, let us have a look for the songs/movies represented on the blog ten years back on this day i.e. 26.05.2013.

Only three songs were posted on this day ten years back (though the average rate of songs per day for May’2013 was an impressive 4.50 songs per day ).

Song Title Name & Year of the movie Remarks
Aa gayi hai ishq pe bahaar Saaqi-1952 All songs covered
Main hoon ek hawaa ka jhonka Post Master-1955 1 of 06 songs posted
Hai bahut dinon ki baat Bhaabhi-1957 All songs covered

It can be seen from the above table that two movies (out of three movies represented on the blog on 26.05.2013) namely ‘Saaqi-1952’ and ‘Bhaabhi-1957’ have already been Yippeeee’ed’ on the blog.

So, only one movie i.e. ‘Post Master’ is eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (26 May 2023).

Today’s song is a nice ‘jovial’ song. It is sung by Madhubala Zaveri. Lyrics are by Verma Malik and music is composed by Ram Ganguly.

Let us now enjoy this song.

Blog Day : 3592 Post No. : 14344

Today is the birth anniversary of playback singer Madhubala Jhaveri. She was born this day in 1935.

Madhubala was born into a musically inclined family of renowned artists. Her mother, Smt Hirabai Jhaveri and her aunt Smt Sharmila Margaonkar, were both well known singers, and often performed on All India Radio. Although brought up in an atmosphere of music, she was initially not inclined to pursue it as a career. In fact after her matriculation, she joined the JJ School of Arts, deciding for herself that the devotion and time required for classical music training was not what she wanted. But the fate had planned otherwise. In a chance encounter, music director Hansraj Behl heard her sing in a private gathering, and was immediately attracted to her voice. He was searching for a new voice to sing for him in his upcoming film ‘Apni Izzat’ (1952). He invited her to sing for this film.

Her debut was very impressive, and the industry immediately took notice of her. It is said that at that time, the refrain that was expressed in the media was, that “. . .another Lata has been born”. She had an active singing career during the decade of 1950s, and worked with many mainstream music directors of that era. Her voice was termed as sweet and pleasing, and her diction and articulation was wonderful. However, her voice could not sustain the higher octaves, somewhat limiting her range. Her voice was considered a perfect foil for Talat Mehmood, and she has rendered many memorable duets with him.

Her career faded away in the early 1960s. After a couple of renditions in 1961, we then hear her voice  for one last time in the 1968 film ‘London Express’ (no records available in public domain so far). After being in oblivion for almost four and a half decades, she passed away on Sep 11th in 2013.

The song I have selected for today’s remembrance is a solo from the 1952 film ‘Raajrani Damyanti’. The music is by Avinash Vyas and the words are written by Neelkanth Tiwari.

The film is a mythological offering from the banner of Roopkamal Chitra, Bombay. It is produced by Mahipatrai Shah and Anoop Chand Shah, and is directed by Raje Nene. The main cast of actors includes Nirupa Roy, Trilok Kapoor, Usha Kiran, Vikas, Baby Tabassum, Ratan Kumar, Prakash, Basant Kanse, Shakeela, Shakuntala, Uma Devi, Yashwant Dave, and Ram Singh amongst others.

This song is a lovely expression of a heart in love, inviting the moon and the stars to come and light up the life. The words by Neelkanth Tiwari evoke a very romantic ambience. It is a wonderful pleasure to listen to this song.

There is one word in the second antaraa that I am not able to decipher. I request other readers and friends with keener ears to please help identify the missing word.

मेरी रातों को चाँदनी बनाते चलो
प्रीत मेरी आँखों में आके पुकारे
आधे तुम्हारे पिया
आधे हमारे
चमक रहे तारे
आधे तुम्हारे पिया
आधे हमारे

मीठे मीठे सपनों की छोटी सी नाव
मीठे मीठे सपनों की छोटी सी नाव
चली चल
चली चल तू लहरों पे
धर धर के पाँव
चली चल तू लहरों पे
धर धर के पाँव
लहरें भी गाती हैं गल बइंयाँ डाले
आधे तुम्हारे पिया
आधे हमारे
चमक रहे तारे
आधे तुम्हारे पिया
आधे हमारे

दूर मत होना कभी प्राणों के प्यारे
दूर मत होना कभी प्राणों के प्यारे
फूल हों हमारे
और चरण तुम्हारे
फूल हों हमारे
और चरण तुम्हारे
बोल रहे सरिता के दोनों किनारे
आधे तुम्हारे पिया
आधे हमारे
चमक रहे तारे
आधे तुम्हारे पिया
आधे हमारे

In the 1950s, many new female singers joined Hindi film industry to try their luck in making their careers in playback singing. Many of them went into oblivion after a couple of years or so. Playback singing career of a few of them like Seeta Kalyanpur, Suman Purohit ended with one or two films. A few others like Meenal Wagh (11 songs during 1950-54), Kaumudini Munshi (10 songs during 1954-68) could remain connected with Hindi film music for longer period but their singing output was low. While some of them may not have pursued the playback singing career due to personal reasons, there is no doubt about the fact that with the emergence of Lata Mangeshkar in early 50s along with established playback singers like Geeta Dutt and Shamshad Begum, the newcomers faced tough competition from them.

There are certain special words which seem to be favourites of film makers. These are used frequently in the Titles of films that are made. Some of the words I counted are not surprising. The work Ek (or its variations) has the distinction of appearing most frequently in the title of Hindi movies. Some examples for such titles are Ek roz, Ek thi Ladki, Eklavya etc etc. A staggesring 209 number of Hindi movies contain the word “Ek” or its variations !. This is for the period from 1931 to 2012.
