Regulars may have noticed that only one song has been discussed today (4 april 2014) so far, whereas as many as eight songs were discussed the previous day. There could be several reasons for less output of songs on a particular day. My reasons for less number of posts today are several. One reason was that I discovered that I had inadvertently discussed same songs twice in the blog. I found that two movies “Amar Kahaani” (1949) and “Kanchan”(1955) has the same songs in them and I would often post the same song twice. On discovering this fact, I had tospend time to undo the duplication in the blog, which is a far more cumbersome process that the undoing that one does in an MS office application.

Before the advent of cinemas in India, Parsi theatres played the role of a catalyst for transmitting social, historical, political and religious messages to the people at large. The owners of theatres were rich and educated Parsis. Alfred Theatrical Company of Bombay (Mumbai) and Madan Theatres Ltd. in Calcutta (Kolkata) were two of the prominent theatre companies. With the successful staging of some of the plays by these two theatre companies, the audience from all the strata of the society and of different religious background started patronising the plays. The themes of the plays were diversified to cater the needs of the audience. With this, the theatre companies were always looking for play writers and stage actors.

A very special song for Mohammad Rafi fans. This is what is real effortless singing. He makes it sound as if it is his ‘baayen haathh ka khel’. And it was his forte to seamlessly go from one mood to another, go from light, comic mode to qawwali, sounding quite serious and melodious and switch to western style, all in the space of less than a minute. If what I say does not make sense, than one can only listen to this song and confirm. What range and what smoothness of voice and diction. And adding the punjabi tadka too in a spoken line towards the end of the song.

Nainon se naina milaa ke : Song No. 10
——————————————–

Here we are at the tenth and final song of the series ‘Nainon se naina milaa ke ‘. When I started this series, I had just three songs with similar mukhda’s one of which is the tenth song. The duet from ‘ Shahkaar ‘ and Geeta Roy solo from ‘Hamaari Manzil’ were the other two. So I had thought of keeping it short and sweet with these three songs.
