We in this blog have achieved several milestones, but this milestone is something in its own league. Today we are celebrating a humongous individual milestone. With this post, Lata Mangeshkar reaches 4000 songs as a playback singer in this blog !
More than one decade ago, She had touched 1000 songs in the blog as the blog itself touched 3000 songs. Imagine, today she alone touches 4000 songs in the blog.
I had run a series on Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (yearwise) in the blog. That series, which ran every monday for 63 weeks (viz for one year and three months). In that series we had an indepth look at the list of songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies.

Today’s song is from the film Samaj ko badal dalo-1947. The film, made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay was directed by one one of its owners Vijay Bhatt. Music was by Khemchand Prakash. The cast of the film included Arun Ahuja, Mridula, Yakub, Umakant, Vikram Kapoor, Leela Pawar and many others.
Contrary to the usual Mythological films made by Prakash Pictures, this social tragedy film was a surprise to their audience. However, due to political instability, India’s proposed Partition and fear of communal riots, Prakash must have tried a safe way out. Additionally, unlike Mythological films, the social films did not need more time to finish the shootings.

Today’s song is from an absolutely unknown film, Laaj-1946.
The film was directed by 3 people – Shehzada Ayyaz, Syed Munawwar and H.Qasim, under the banner of Ayyaz productions, Bombay- probably owned by one of the directors. The music was given by Ramchandra Pal and the cast was Shamim, Radha Rani,Ramesh, H.Prakash, Rajan, Rehana, Master Nissar and others.
I had never heard of this film, let alone seeing it. This was because neither the film nor any of its songs were famous. Even the cast did not boast of any of the famous or popular stars of that time. Only one of the cast members attracted the attention and that was the old time hero Master Nissar.
I tried hard to know more about this film but was not able to get anything. Then I wrote to Shri Harmandir Singh Hamraz ji and he, very kindly, promptly sent me the photograph of the film’s booklet. Thanks to Hamraz ji for this.

“Paanch Dost”(1974) was directed by Vijay for Chanda Films International, Bombay. The movie had Vijaylalita, Krishna, Prabhakar Reddy, Jagga Rao, Anand, Tyagraj, JyotiLaxmi etc in it. From the cast, it is clear that it was a South Indian language movie that was dubbed into Hindi. In addition to dubbing the dialogues into Hindi, the makers of the movie got the songs too resung into Hindi. There were four female solos in the movie, all sung by Vani Jairam. From the lyrics, all the songs appear club dance/ bar dance/ cabaraat dance kind of songs with Chaalu kind of lyrics. I wonder why the movie is then titled “Paanch Dost” ?

Today’s song is from the film Babuji-1950.
The film was made by Uday Productions, Bombay. It was a regular stunt film from the stable of Master Bhagwan – who had done a great job of keeping this genre alive through the 1940’s. In the beginning of the 1950s, Bhagwan turned to making social films, with the Blockbuster musical film Albela-1951.
Bhagwan was elated highly with the unexpected success of his foray into the social Genre and he went on making such social films. He had, however, not realised that 10 Albela was a novelty for his captive audience and 2) 75 % success of Albela was due to superb music by C.Ramchandra, who was at the pinnacle of his career that time !
