Today’s song is from India’s Milestone movie – Kisan Kanya-1937.

The year 1937 was a year of Revolution for the newly started Talkie Films. Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar. From this year, a variety of subjects were used to make films. If we briefly look at some path breaking, landmark films using Novel themes, we will understand how the film industry was attempting to change itself.

This article is his 1400th contribution in the blog as a guest poster.

This is my 1400th post on this Blog. For me, it is like a big dream. I feel I will wake up and find that this figure was only a dream figure ! But looks like it is all real.

While I am glad for this new Milestone, it is still a mystery how it has happened. When I retired from my service in 1998 and later from all professional activities in 2010, I was thinking what to do now. Then one day I remembered about my old notebooks in which I had written about the old films which I saw in my younger days and I opened those Pandora’s boxes. A new world opened before me. I bought a Laptop and learnt how to operate it from my grandchildren, who seemed to be born with that knowledge ! I was 71 years old then.

Today, 19 July 2024, is a special day for the blog. It was on this date 16 years ago that this blog had come into existence with its debut post “Miley Na Phool To Kaanton Se Dosti Kr Li” on 19 July 2008. We have come a long way in the blog from that small beginning. On this occasion, we will have quite a few posts today to celebrate the occasion. Keep watching this blog throughout the day.

 

‘Savera’ (1942) was directed by Virendra C Desai for Bombay Cinetone Limited, Bombay. The movie had Arun Ahuja, Shobhna Samarth, Yakub, Nirmala Devi, Gharpure, Brij Mala, Nagendra etc in it.

This ‘social’ movie had 12 songs in it. All these songs are rare songs and are difficult to locate. One song has been covered in the blog so far.

Here is the second song from ‘Savera’ (1942) to appear in the blog. This song is described as a chorus song (समूह गान) in HFGK. As I listened carefully, to this song, I could make out that it has at least two distinct female voices in addition to chorus. One of the voice sounds like Nirmala Devi to me. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the identity of the voices.
