This song is a special search request from a dear friend Arvinder ji Sharma. Regular team members would have noticed this name being appended to the email ‘To’ list in recent email exchanges. I got introduced to him, at first through our mutual friend Zafar Bhai, and then once again the threads met thanks to AK ji (of SOY) when he invited us for a get together.

“Duniya Ye Duniya, Toofaan Mail” – the iconic song from the 1942 film ‘Jawaab’, which introduced the name Kanan Devi to the film audiences countrywide, outside of Bengal. This song came from the pen of lyricist / story writer / dialogue writer Budhichandra Agarwal, better known to the music lovers as Pt Madhur. Incidentally, ‘Jawaab’ was the debut film for him.
Remembering Pt Madhur on the anniversary of his passing away today (8th June).

The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 8

An absolute gem. A duet song from 1938 about which almost no information is available. Just that the film is ‘Baanke Saanwariya’ and the name of the music director is Damodar Sharma. I even checked the actual 78 rpm record of this song, which is available with my friend. Even the names of the singers is not mentioned.

The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 7

If this voice sounds familiar, that is because we have heard him before on this blog. The earlier posted song is also a delightful rendition – “Bhar Bhar Ke Jaam Pilaa De Bahaar Aayi” from the film ‘Miss Frontier Mail’ (1936). The singer is Basheer Ahmed Khan, also known as Basheer Qawwaal. This song today is from a very obscure and almost unheard film from 1937 – ‘His Highness’. As I am browsing the songs from 1930s in my collection, I am finding excellent gems that have been unheard of for decades. Wonderful pieces of music that are excellent compositions of excellent verses. The obscurity can be gauged from the fact that almost no information is available about the film, or the artists that have contributed to create this, and other such obscure and rare gems.

I have been doing some research on the works of Gopaldas Saxena ‘Neeraj’ – both as a poet and a lyricist for Hindi films. Being an admirer of this great poet and lyricist, I have been reading his poems that are available on the websites and also going through the available songs that he wrote for Hindi films. Suffice it to say here that he wrote over 100 songs for about 40 films during his stint in Hindi film industry. After 1975, The rate of his song writing for films had dwindled considerably since 1975, when he began to work from his home in Aligarh. The last time that he wrote a song for a film was for his close friend Dev Anand’s ‘Charge Sheet’ (2011).

Making movies is a business venture, and that too a risky business venture where there is no assurance of earning a profit on one’s investment. In movie making, the producer typically raises the finances, gigns up director, technicians, artists etc and makes a film. Later he gets the movie released in theatres. If he is lucky, the movie may do well, but in most cases the movie may fail to attract movie wathers and the investment made in making that movie goes down the drain.

This song will take you on a brief three minute journey of delightful music and singing. Unknown and obscure gems such as this one, tell me that Hindi film music is poorer than what should have been; that there are less than 20 songs in Hindi films by this voice, her mainstay being Bangla films and Bangla non-film and religious songs.
Remembering Utpala Sen on the anniversary of her passing away (13th May).
