Today’s song is from a social film – Khan Bahadur-1937.
The year 1937 was a year of Revolution for the newly started Talkie Film. Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar. From this year, a variety of subjects were used to make films. If we briefly look at some path breaking, landmark films using Novel themes, we will understand how the film industry was attempting to change itself.

Today’s song is from an utterly obscure, unknown film of the first decade of the talkie era – Kaun kisi ka-1939.
I have been writing posts on old films starting from the 1930s to the end of the 1960s, but I had not heard about this film till a few years back.
During the early era, very few films from the 1930’s are well known or atleast known, but most films remained unknown. Only the films made by well known film studios like Prabhat, Ranjit, Sagar, New Theatres, Minerva, Bombay Talkies etc are known to people.

Things do not get any more rare than this. Plus celebrations like today’s, also do not get any more better and rare.
Milestones is a habit now long forgotten on this blog. No, I do not mean to say we do not celebrate. But it has now become a matter of routine. However, a milestone such as today, came to fore after a journey of more than 17 years. And that too – we can just bask in this glory for a few hours more. Night will fall, the sun will rise, and this milestone will be left behind – forever.
In five decades of recorded data (1931-80), there is an estimated approximation – about 45 thousand songs, give or take. Beyond that, another 45 years of an industry that I and more in my category have not tracked sincerely. But taking just a crude estimate, let us say, another 40 thousand songs. We are talking of a huge repository that is about 85 thousand songs. I am sure, it is a number that cannot be matched by any other segment of the industry world wide. And if I take a look at the counter on the top of this article, a whopping 20+ percent of that repository is already showcased on Atul-Song-a-Day.
A moment it takes to absorb this. Time to ruminate, to contemplate and to let this number sink in inside.
