Today’s song is from the film Kanchan-1941.

1941 was the first year in the second decade of the Talkie Era and it was the beginning of the emergence of a New film industry. When Talkie started in 1931, for many years after that, the films were made by the people who had done work in the Silent films. These films had a spill over for the silent era artistes. Once the films started talking,most silent artistes who could not speak Hindi or Urdu automatically disappeared. Thus started the influx of new actors who could speak Hindi and sing songs, in whatever way they could. Intelligent directors like V Shantaram,Bhavnani, Sohrab Modi, Chandulal Shah, Himanshu Rai, B N Sircar, L V Prasad and a host of Gujarati directors understood that the Talkie needs a different treatment than silent films. Music directors from stage dramas tried their hand in composing film music.

Today’s song is from a very old film Gol Nishan aka Mark of Zero – 1936. It is sung by Gauhar Karnataki.

The title of this film resembles the Hollywood silent film of the 1920 namely, “The Mark of Zorro” and a Talkie film bearing the same title made in 1940 again. Douglas Fairbanks was the hero in the silent film and Tyrone Power in the talkie film. The Hindi film Gol Nishan aka Mark of Zero was obviously inspired by the 1920 film of Zorro – the swashbuckling swordsman. The character of Zorro was the creation of the author Johnston McCulley in his 1919 story ” The curse of Capistrano”. I have seen films of Zorro during my younger age and I remember that Zorro used to leave a mark of Z with his sword, wherever he went.

Today’s song is from an old film ‘Ek Hi Raasta’ (1939).

This film was made by Sagar Movietone and was directed by a young Mehboob Khan. This was his  last film with Sagar, because after this Sagar was merged with National studios and later on it was closed down forever. This proves that generally, family enterprises where it is a one man show, be it films or politics, does not last long. If the enterprise does not adapt  to changes or does not learn from its mistakes, its downfall is sure. Mehboob Khan grew big with Sagar. Mehboob was influenced by Nehru’s ideology and was his staunch supporter. It was a coincidence that Nehru died in the afternoon of 27th May 1964 and within 12 hours, Mehboob Khan too died in the early hours of 28th May 1964.

Today, April 29, 2023, is the 3rd Remembrance Day of Irrfan Khan, the actor par excellence. After Guru Dutt, I think, he was the only actor whose eyes spoke more than his dialogues.

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

In this post we cover a song sung by Hemant Kumar from the movie ‘Kitnaa Badal Gayaa Insaan-1957’.

Two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog in the past.

As mentioned by Shri Atul ji in his post while launching this movie on the blog, the title of this movie seems to be inspired from the iconic song ‘dekh tere sansaar ki haalat’ from ‘Naastik-1954’. And the same leading pair of ‘Naastik-1954’ Nalini Jaywant and Ajit was cast in this movie ‘Kitnaa Badal Gayaa Insaan’ again. Both the movies were directed by I.S. Johar.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 33
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 8 March 2013, nine songs from nine different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7625 Tum jabse mil kar chhoot gaye Bebus (1950) 3 songs covered out of 9 by now
7626 Nitya nirantar boley antar Shiv Shakti(1952) One song covered out of 7 by now
7627 Ae jee akdo na hamse piyaa Abhimaan(1957) Movie YIPPEED by now
7628 Aaya hai zamaana aurat ka Laxmi (1957) 3 songs covered out of 8 by now
7629 Jhankaar paayal ki tosey binti karey Naag Devta(1962) 3 songs out of 7 covered by now
7630 Meri daastaan mujhe hi mera dil suna ke roye Aao Pyaar Karen (1964) Movie YIPPEED by now
7631 Tum hamen pyaar karo ya na karo Kaise Kahoon(1964) Movie YIPPEED by now

7633 Phoolon ke dere hain saaye ghanere hain Zameer (1975) Movie YIPPEED by now

We can observe that five movies (out of nine) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (8 march 2013) have since been YIPPEED. That leaves us with four movies that are unYIPPEED from that date and therefore they are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (8 March 2023).
