#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————

The song being presented in this post is from the movie ‘Ahinsa Path’ from the year 1949. Very less information is available about this movie. HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950) lists six songs of this movie, but there is no information on its cast and director.

As per Geet Kosh “Ahinsa Path-1949” was a movie presented by ‘Aruna Productions, Bombay’. Harish Bharadwaj was the composer for this movie. The six songs are sung by Poornima Chatterjee, Harish Bharadwaj, Sahana Maitra and chorus. Lyricist’s name for the songs is not known except for one song which has been covered earlier on this blog. Some sources on internet mention Aruna BA as lyricist for the song under discussion.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

Regulars on this blog are aware that I am a big fan of Qawwaalees from Hindi films (as well as non-film qawwaalees ). I am also a big fan of the famous Qawwaalee singer Jaani Babu Qawwaal. His voice is pure nostalgia for me. I love his singing and also the way he performed his qawwaalees on screen.

I am trying to present Qawwaalees sung by him whenever I get an opportunity to do so. Today I am presenting a song that must be considered rare because it is not mentioned in HFGK and its records were apparently not made. This song is only available in the movie. Despite its presence in the movie it has gone unnoticed because not many people may have watched the video or noticed that this song was not mentioned in HFGK..

Today’s song is from an almost 90 year old film, Manzil-1936.

For a long time, I was searching for a song from this film, but none were available. Finally, I wrote to Shri Syed Jafer Shah ji and enquired if he has any song of this film, other than those already posted here. Promptly, he sent me today’s song- no.7 as per HFGK list. HFGK showed the singer’s name as Harimati, but the song sent by Jafer Bhai was sung by K.C.Dey. I pointed out this to him. He sent me the photo of the record No. 6764, which was tallying with the no. in HFGK. The film name was correct and the singer’s name was K.C.Dey. Obviously the song was correct. It seems that Harimati sang it in the film, but the record was in the voice of K.C.Dey. Or the HFGK had made a mistake in the singer’s name. Whatever it is, the song was correct as per the record number and details on it. So, no problem. Then our friend Sadanand ji Kamath uploaded it for me. Thanks to Jafer Bhai and Kamath ji.

Today’s song is from a unique film- Love in Bombay-1975.

It is generally said that records are for breaking. It means, in any field, if a record of achievement is made, sometime or the other, that record is broken. Some records are such that one feels, ‘now this will never be broken. It is the ultimate’.

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Watan Se Door-1968’. I have never watched this movie and I guess that it is not available on any internet platform too. But I had presented a song from this movie earlier here on the blog. And how I remember this song and how I get to know which movie it was is a long story which I have mentioned in my post here on the blog with the song ‘kaisaa jaadoo daalaa maa banarasee roomaal waalaa’. This song was posted on the blog on 19.07.2015. Before that our Sudhir jee had presented two songs from this movie here on the blog as per following details.

1) mehfil mein naheen to dil mein sahee – 10.11.2011
2) pyaare pyaare tere andaaz ke qurbaan gaye – 19.11.2011

When I presented the first song from this movie I didn’t have the copy of Geet Kosh Vol-IV (1961-1970) with me and therefore I could not give the details of movie in that post. However our in-house encylopeadia Shree Arunkumar jee had given the story of this movie while commenting on the first post of Sudhir jee.

Today’s song is from an 84 year old film Charnon ki Dasi-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 artists 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.
