Nightingale Noorjehan – 3
—————————
‘Phoolon mein nazar yeh kaun aaya’ is Noorjehan’s fourth song from the 1946 Film ‘Hamjoli’ to appear in the blog. one song from this movie ‘yeh desh hamara pyaara’ was already discussed earlier on this blog before I took up the task of discussing her songs in the blog.
Somehow I missed seeing this film, as till 1949 I was in a small town, where the touring cinema used to come once in a while. After coming to Mumbai (then Bombay), in 1949, I started seeing cinema with a vengeance. To see films which were not the current runners I used to visit the locations, where second and third run films were shown in a small group of theaters. They were in an area known as Pilhouse, (from original Play House), generally prohibited area for students and so called ‘decent people’, as it was in the ‘red light district’. The system in those theaters was very convenient for any time visiters, as you could buy a ticket and enter at any time and could sit through the next show to complete the beginning of the film which you had missed initially. You could even sit till the end of the film if you wished. So many musical films I had sat through and had seen them one and a half times!! I still repent that I could not see some of Noorjehan’s films like Hamjoli, Badi Maa, Dost, Duhayee etc during that period..

Nightingale Noorjehaan – 2

I am trying to complete Noorjehan’s songs on this blog. The current film I am dealing with is ‘Hamjoli’. Since I have all her songs in MP3 form, I was searching readymade clips on internet – specially YouTube. Almost all the songs of ‘Hamjoli’ I found there and most of them are uploaded there by Vidur Suri. I had seen that name in comments of our blog and I contacted him, thinking that he might be a person if not in my age group but a person above 50 or 60. Imagine my shocking (but pleasant) surprise, when I came to know that he is a lad of just 17 years! I salute him for taking interest in rare songs of half a century old films. Most of the ‘ Hamjoli’ songs that I propose to include on this blog are available online courtsey of Vidur Suri.

After a long long time I am trying to plunge again in Atul’s wonderful Blog. This presentation, is my sixtieth contribution.
I am going to track Noorjehan songs from the latest to the earliest and will try to complete, as far as possible, her wonderful contributions to Hindi Film Music. Her films of 1947 in our motherland, before she left for Pakistan were ‘Jugnu’ and ‘Mirza Sahiba’. All songs with her voice in these films are covered in this Blog. So I come to the year 1946. There were three films viz, ‘Hamjoli’, ‘Dil’ and ‘Anmol Ghadi’. Today I will start with ‘Hamjoli’.

Chaandni raaten – Song No. 17
————————————–
chandni raaten
ho. . oo. .
chaandni raaten
sab jag soye
ham jaagen
taaron se karen baaten
ho. . oo. .
chaandni raaten
ho. . oo. .
chaandni raaten
This song has over the years been heard here and there. I was aware this is some remix song of an old song, just like the remix of the song ‘Kitni Akeli Kitni Tanhaa Si Lagi‘ from film ‘Talaash’ (1969). I used to think that ‘Kitni Akeli. . . ‘ song was a Kishore Kumar song and remixed. It was many years later that I heard the original Lata Mangeshkar song composed by SD Burman.

23rd December was the anniversary of passing away of two artists that have a significant contribution to the Indian cinema – singer Noorjehaan and music director K Datta.
Noorjehaan, born as Allah Wasai in 1926, was one of the eleven siblings born into a family of musicians and singers. Her parents, Madad Ali and Fateh Bibi encouraged her and at the age of six years, she learnt music at the feet of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. When she was nine, her talent caught the attention of Ghulam Ahmed Chishti, who brought her to stage programs in Lahore, in which she appeared as Baby Noorjehaan. She gained attention in Lahore, and was invited to sing and to play child roles in Punjabi films being produced in Lahore. She appeared in films like ‘Misr Ka Sitaara’ (1935), and played the role of child Heer, in the Punjabi film ‘Heer Sayaal’.
