Films with the title “Hum Ek Hai” were released in different years.

Suffice to say Hum Ek Hain, lekin same title anek hai.

Well, this post of mine had tried to sort out the confusion arising out of this same title released in different years and with different cast and composers. I had elaborated on the standalone patriotic song produced by Govt of India’s Films Division which also had the same title.

Today’s song is from a Costume film- Jai Bharat-1936.

It was a Wadia Movietone film. It was produced by JBH Wadia and directed by his brother, Homi Wadia who also wrote the story and screenplay. The dialogues were written by Munshi Sarfarash. Music was by Master Mohammed, who also acted in this film. There were just 6 songs in this film, much less compared to the average of 9 songs per film for the period 1931 to 1940. 5 songs were written by Pt. Gyan Chander and today’s song was by Azeem. Gyan Chander mostly wrote for Wadia films. From 1936 to 1940, he wrote about 30 songs in 15 films.

Today’s song is from a very old -88year old – film, His Highness-1937.

I somehow like to write about old films. Names of old actors, directors and the composers bring many memories. Listening to songs from old films gives you an idea how cine music evolved and reached today’s state. In the beginning, the films were totally dependent on stage drama stories, Folklore and Mythology. Afterwards, they started using social themes, comedy and stunts. There was no problem with the stories. For talkie films in the early era, there were 3 sources of film stories…..
1. from Ramayan, Mahabharat, Puranas and other religious stories, social evils and family dramas
2. Using and copying themes from foreign and English films
and
3. Remakes of popular Silent films. About 30 to 40 % silent films were remade into Talkie films.

Today’s song is from the film Badi Baat-1944.

During the second world war period 1939-1945, a lot of Black marketing flourished and few anti-socials became rich having a lot of unaccounted money. As such, during the war period the British Government had imposed Rationing of various essential items including food items, sugar,oil, Kerosene, Petrol and even Raw Film supply. This provided a golden opportunity to these people to start Black of the rationed items. Needy people and those who could afford, enriched these people. Now, they did not know what to do with this unaccounted money.

sone ko ham kalandar
aate hain bori bandar. . .

Yes, one of the very well known landmarks of Bombay (now Mumbai). And a very historic landmark at that. A lot has changed over the decades, but let us talk about the origins first.

As I searched for the meaning of the word Bori Bunder, I came across the following definition – a storage house for sacks; translating ‘bori’ as the sack made from jute thread, and ‘bunder’ identified as a variation of ‘bhandaar’ i.e. a storage house. This latter meaning is incorrect in my opinion. Some people who want to populate the Wikipedia and write with a modern mindset, probably are not aware that there are things called dictionaries for Hindi also. A quick check shows that ‘bunder’ (बंदर) is short form of ‘bundergaah’ (बन्दरगाह) which means a seaport, where ships come and stay for some time.

Today’s song is from a film ‘Paaro’ (1947), made during the turmoil of Independence of India. By early 1947, it was clear that India would be divided and a new nation, based on religion, would be carved out by bifurcating United India. The name Pakistan was also known to everyone.

Today’s song is from the 1953 film ‘Raaj Ratan’.

Since childhood, we have been hearing stories of kings and queens. Most stories have a set pattern- good king, crooked vazier (minister), dutiful son, happy ending ! To go from start to finish, lot of masala used to be present, which actually made these stories interesting. We all knew the end, but it was the curiosity to know how it was achieved in the film. These stories had variations-
