“Maa Baap” (1944) is a movie about which very little is known today, no matter if there are sites that claim to give you “All about Maa Baap (1944),view video clips, reviews, story, stills, trailers, songs, wallpapers, synopsis, user comments, news,cast,crew..” about the movie. All that I have been able to gather about this movie is that it had Nazir Khan, Veena, Rajkumari Shukla, Yakub in it.

Today’s date, 14th March, is an anniversary of another sort, very intimately related with Hindi films and Hindi film songs. Today is the 82nd anniversary of the birth of the Hindi film song. It was this day, that the first talkie film of the Hindi screen was exhibited for the first time. The film is ‘Aalam Ara’, and the first public exhibition of this film occurred on 14th March, 1931, at a theatre named Majestic in Bombay. With the release of this film, the silent moving pictures acquired a voice, the story acquired the spoken word, and the medium changed forever with the infusion of the most significant element in the repertoire of Hindi cinema – music and songs.

The year is 1957. The time in the Hindi film industry when the big name banners prominently ruled, and the success and recognition of film music was the domain of the high profile music directors. An era with a lot of stories of how Filmfare awards were influenced, and how the privileged songs were made to climb to the top of Binaca Geetmala list. In such a time and such an era, an ‘unprivileged’ song rapidly climbed the charts of popularity, completely defying the set commercial conventions, and confounding the hold of hierarchical tradition of established big names in the industry, it became the no. 1 song of 1957 at the top of Binaca Geetmala charts. The film – an unimpressive and an unremarkable socio-religious drama by the name of ‘Janam Janam Ke Phere’. The song – an unmatchable and a very endearing duet by Rafi Sb and Lata Mangeshkar – “Zaraa Saamne To Aa O Chhaliye”, an unlikely song of a human being’s search for the Almighty. The deep and impressive words of Bharat Vyas tuned to a lovely melody by a master craftsman of classical and folk genre – Shrinath Tripathi, better known as SN Tripathi.
