Today’s song is from an obscure but good film Apni Chhaya-1950.

The film APNI CHHAYA-1950, literally means ‘our own shadow’. The story is such that what happens to the father when he is young, happens to his son as well. Only difference is he is the hero in the first case and the Villain in the second phase. The film was made by Chitralaya limited Bombay. The story and Direction was by P L Santoshi, who had also written all songs of the film. The music was by Hanuman Prasad and Husnlal-Bhagatram. There were 10 songs and 7 singers were used. The cast of the film was Balwant Singh, Sulochana Chatterjee, Radhakishen, Mumtaz Ali, Sajjan, Tiwari, Jawahar Kaul etc. Except perhaps the Husnlal Bhagatram duo, major contributors to music, direction, lyrics, acting etc were on the declining stages in their careers.

Today’s song is from a very old -88year old – film, His Highness-1937.

I somehow like to write about old films. Names of old actors, directors and the composers bring many memories. Listening to songs from old films gives you an idea how cine music evolved and reached today’s state. In the beginning, the films were totally dependent on stage drama stories, Folklore and Mythology. Afterwards, they started using social themes, comedy and stunts. There was no problem with the stories. For talkie films in the early era, there were 3 sources of film stories…..
1. from Ramayan, Mahabharat, Puranas and other religious stories, social evils and family dramas
2. Using and copying themes from foreign and English films
and
3. Remakes of popular Silent films. About 30 to 40 % silent films were remade into Talkie films.

Today’s song is from the film Sipahiya-1949.

Many film artists – actors, singers, directors etc – have written their autobiography. If you take a look at all these, the females have more autobios than the males, for reasons not known to me. In my last few years of activity in the arena of old films, I have collected many books and have received many books as ‘Gifts’ from the authors. Among these, there are many autobios, including the autobio of C Ramchandra, music director of today’s film Sipahiya-1949.

Today’s song is from an unreleased film ‘Hamaari Kahaanee-1973’. This movie was directed by B.V. Algikar for ‘Navprakash Chitra, Bombay’. It had Master Shripad, Baby Ragini, Master Vinayak, Master Kiran, Sulochana, Abhi Bhattacharya, Dhoomal and others. Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) lists three songs for this movie, leaving space for possibility of more songs in this movie. Two songs are written by Asad Bhopali, and one song is written by Jaan Nisar Akhtar. Music for this movie is composed by C. Arjun. (More than a year back I had come across another song from this movie which I had noted for some other occasion.) The singers for this movie are Usha Mangeshar, Manna Dey and Mohd Rafi. Today I present a song sung by Mohd Rafi which is written by Jaan Nisar Akhtar.
