Today’s song is from the film Guru Ghantal-1956. This is a very out of the way and uncommon title for a film. In 1937 also there was a film of the same title. When I was writing a post on a song from that film, a few years ago, I first encountered this word. I found out the meaning of this word then. If you separate the 2 parts of this composite word, you will get separate meanings like Guru=Teacher and Ghantal=Big sounding bell. However, together this word has a totally different meaning. It means a Cheater, a person who seems simple but is a person with bad intention of cheating !

Today’s song is the last song from the film Lajawab-1950. With this song the film will be YIPPEED !
The year 1950 was the end of the second decade of the Talkie film. It has been just about 3 years since we got our Independence. The film industry seemed to stabilise after the upheaval caused by the mass migration of Muslim artists and technicians from India to their new Utopia – Pakistan. The second line of ‘ waiting in the Q’ artists had taken over without much trouble. The 20 year old ‘ Studio System’ was breaking up and Freelancing was the code now. The cost of film production, from a mere 30 to 40000 rupees in the early 30’s has now escalated to 5 to 6 lakhs per film. This was also due to the ever increasing star costs from 3-4 thousand per film to almost 50-60 thousand per film for ‘A’ grade actors. The Black money in the market was now freely used in the film industry.

Today’s song is from a Muslim Social film – Ismat aka Asmat-1944.
!939 to Aug 1945 was the II World War period. Almost every country in the world was affected, either directly or indirectly. The year 1944 was a time when the world knew that the end of World War II was near, however, till that time the Raw Film shortage was troubling the film makers in India. Black money generated through Black marketing was disturbing the industry. The cost of the filmmaking, which was about a Lakh or so in 1940, had escalated to 5 to 6 lakhs per film. Studio system was weakened due to individual production practices started by black money investors.

Today’s song is from the film Pyar ki Manzil-1950.
The sudden and unexpected death of Saigal, followed by India’s partition had disturbed the entire film industry.The major centres – Calcutta and Bombay – both had benefited with the songs of Saigal. A large number of Muslim community, working in different departments of filmmaking, had migrated to Pakistan, disturbing the set up. Luckily, India had a very capable second line of talented artistes waiting in the wings. It took 2-3 years for them to show their abilities, thus the period of 1947 to 1950 was full of uncertainties and testing the new entrants.

“Nainaa”(1973) was planned several years ago with Rajshree in the lead role. But then Rajshree decided to settle down in USA and left Bollywood, leaving her producers in lurch, without even bothering to give them any notice and without returning the signing amount to the producers.

It is a well known fact among regulars of this blog that the 5000th song of this song was the all time iconic qawwaali song Hamen to loot liya mil ke husn waalon ne from a B grade movie called “al Hilaal”(1958). This iconic qawwaali single handedly ensured that the name of “Al Hilal”(1958), instead of getting forgotten, would become immortal, even though the movie itself was nothing extraordinary..
