Today’s song is from a social film, with an intriguing title – Anban-1944.

Hindi film titles are sometimes funny and sometimes confusing. Funny, we can understand but confusing titles can cause problems. I can understand the same titles for films. There are hundreds of such examples. Same titled films can be found from 2 to 7 films. Yes. Film title ” Insaaf” was used for 7 films from 1937 to 1997 – one each in every decade !

When titles are similar but not exactly the same, they can still cause confusion. Here are some examples….. Aajkal and Aaj aur kal, Aarsi and Aarti, Shadi ke baad and Shadi se pehle, Agent 1-2-3, Agent 777 and Agent 999, Lagaan and Lagaam, Daanaa Paanee and Dana Pani etc etc.

Today’s film also falls in this category. There was a film called Aanbaan and this is Anban. For several years I was confused, but when I read in a Film magazine that this is Un-bun pronounced as “अन-बन ” (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

Today’s song is from a Costume imaginary film Gul Bakawali-1947.

The year 1947 is a reminder not only for the Independence of India, but also for the upheaval that took place in the film industry that time. More than in any other industry in India, Muslims were plentiful, working in different sections and departments of the Hindi film industry. Majority of them migrated to the newly formed Muslim Nation of Pakistan. This did create a lot of disturbance in the film industry. Right from the beginning of 1947, there were signs that soon the British would leave India – after dividing it into two Nations, India and Pakistan. When the month and date became known for the Partition, there was a great hurry among the filmmakers to complete their projects on hand and in process, compromising many factors like quality of the film, number of songs and such other things.

February 23, 2026 was the 57th Remembrance Day of Madhubala (14/02/1933 – 23/02/1969) who was called the ‘Venus of India’. In the words of Rinki Roy (daughter of producer-director, Bimal Roy), ‘Madhubala is the face of original celluloid diva’. Dev Anand, in his autobiography, ‘Romancing With Life’ (2007) has described Madhubala as the ‘most beautiful of all the heroines in the fairyland of films, with her natural looks, always fresh as morning dew. Her childlike innocence was accentuated by the most noticeable trait of her character, her famous giggle’.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Shareef Daaku-1960’. This movie is making its debut on the blog today. It seems to be an obscure movie of its time.

One big advantage of the internet era is that sharing of resources has become easy. It has enabled music lovers to share music from obscure movies that would have remained out of reach of most music lovers if there was no internet. Songs from old movies that were considered very rare songs and even lost songs have become available with time for the listening pleasure of music lovers. One cannot thank the uploaders of such songs enough. Music lovers will remain grateful for their generosity in sharing such rare musical gems online.
