Today’s song is from a religious film (labelled as ‘social’ film in HFGK) – Alakh Niranjan-1950.

1950 was the final year of the decade of the 1940s and matters which took place in this period had tremendous impact on the coming decade of 1951 to 1960. The rush of Muslim artists to their Utopia- Pakistan, had slowed down and the new entrants to replace them here were in the process of solidifying their presence. The extraordinary success of the Mythological and Religious films in the 1940s decade, with films like Bharat milap, Ram Rajya and Har Har Mahadev gave impetus to such films in the 50s decade, peaking their numbers to 124 in the period 1951 to 1960.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film Ayodhyapati-1956.

The Producer was A.A.Nadiyadwala, the Director was S. Fattelal and the Music Director was Ravi – an assistant to Hemant Kumar for a long time. Ravi had just become an independent Music Director for the film Vachan-1955. However, he still continued for a few more years as Hemant Kumar’s assistant. It was a rare case of Ravi giving music to a Mythological film, if you look at his later years’ performance. But, being a new independent MD, I guess, he accepted whichever film he got.

The cast of the film included Usha Kiran, Abhi Bhattacharya, Achala Sachdeva, Manorama, Rajkumar Khatri, Ratnamala, Anant Kumar, Balraj Mehta, Rajan Haksar, Dar Kashmiri (elder brother of actor Jeevan), Baby Asha Parekh and many others.

Today’s song is from the film Hanste Ansoo-1950.

Film Hanste Aansoo-1950 was produced and directed by K.B.Lall (born in 1911 at Meerut-U.P. Known for films like Lal Haveli-1944, Lal Dupatta-1948 and Hanste Aansoo-1950 etc. Died on 25-8-1975. He wrote the story as well as the screenplay. Lyricists were Shewan Rizvi and Majrooh Sultanpuri. Music was by Ghulam Mohammad. The cast of the film included Madhubala (17 years), Motilal (40 Years), Gope, Manorama, Jankidas, Mirza Musharraf etc.

The film, as such, though an ordinary one, was very successful. One of the main reasons for its success was that it was the FIRST Hindi film to be awarded an “A ” certifictae by the film Censor. The Censor also passed several (some of them were ridiculous) remarks on the film in general.

This is a role reversal to “Abhi na jaao chhod ke, ke dil abhi bhara Nahin”. Here Hema Malini is trying to stop Dharmendra from going to his job. She is calling him ‘Raja” and asking him not to leave her alone, take leave from work, or better to leave the job if he is not getting holiday. The filmy or flimsy situation, Lata Mangeshkar’s playback, Hema Malini looking resplendent in a red jacket/suit, begging. Dharmendra on his part is just trying to get away on whatever transport he can find and enjoying all the attention. All that bhav is good for the hero anyway. Songs like “haay haay yeh majboori”, “Na ja mere hamdam”, “bataa doon kya laana” and others convey the similar emotion in different ways.

Today’s song is from a comedy film Chand Tara-1945.

1945 was the year when the devastating II World War ended and the film industry heaved a sigh of relief. Many irksome regulations were relaxed. There was no force now to make Propaganda films for war, no shortage of Raw Film and plenty of Finance available through black money, generated during the war times. However, the year saw only 73 Hindi films made.

Today’s song is from a much less known film – Aai Bahar-1946.

1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.
