Today’s song (in two parts) is from the ‘C’ grade costume film – Al Hilal-1958 aka Judgement of Allah.
My first encounter with the film Al Hilal was when I read that this was the first film in 1935, which was directed by Mehboob Khan. This film had an interesting history too. Mehboob Khan started his acting career with the Imperial Film Company, as an extra. Ardeshir irani was impressed with this young man’s earnestness in work and thought of making a hero in one of his Silent films. At the last minute E. Billimoria was taken as that film’s Hero and Mehboob Khan lost his first chance. When Irani thought of making a Talkie film Alam Ara, he again decided to make Mehboob as its Hero. His costumes were also stitched with his measurements and Mehboob Khan was excited. However, as advised by some experts,an existing popular Hero Master Vithal was taken as its hero and Mehboob lost his second chance. Third time it was decided to make him the hero opposite Sabita Devi for the film Shehar ka Jaadu, but luck played a ball again and a New entrant Motilal was given that role.

Today’s song is from the film Albeli-1945.
There were two more films with the same title, in 1955 and 1974. Its male variety-Albela- was made 4 times, in 1951, 1871, 1990 1nd 2001. This film was made by Talwar productions, Calcutta. The Music Director was G.A. Chishti. A very interesting observation is that after Partition, 80 % of the Muslim MDs who migrated to Pakistan were ordinary composers in India, giving music only to B and C grade films here. However, in Pakistan all these MDs became A grade MDs, became famous and had many films on their hands. All of them prospered.
There was ,however, one exception and that was Ghulam Haider. He was an A grade MD in India, but failed miserably in Pakistan. Does this speak volumes of the quality of Pakistan film music in any way ? A point to note was that after the crop of migrated MDs retired, the Pak musical industry was in doldrums, because there was no second line to take over – unlike in India !

Today’s song is a duet by Rafi and Chitalkar from the social comedy film Hangama-1952.
This is my 1300th post on this Blog. Is it for real ? It is too difficult for me to accept that I have written 1300 posts on old film songs. How did it happen ? If someone had predicted, when I was 71 year old, that I would write a New Chapter in my life and achieve few Milestones, that my name will be known to many people all over India and other countries, and that I will even write a couple of books…. and all this on old films and its music, I would have laughed aloud for a long time ! But it did happen !!

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.79
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (14 April 2013), six songs from five different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7895 | Husn kehta ja raha hai | Humaayun (1945) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 7896 | Main to odhoon gulaabi chundariya aaj | Humaayun (1945) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 7897 | Karte ho mujhse kitni muhobbat | Bekhabar (1965) | 6 songs covered out of 7 by now |
| 7898 | So jaa re so jaa mere raajdulaare | Zimbo (1958) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 7899 | Aate hain chale jaate hain | Yaadgaar(1984) | One song covered out of 7 by now |
| 7900 | Kaun meri preet ke pehle | Parineeta (1953) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
We observe that three movies (out of five) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (14 April 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with two movies that are unYIPPEED and therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (14 April 2023).
The first unYIPPEED movie has already been taken up earlier in the day under BTYC.
The second movie that is eligible for BYTC today is “Yaadgaar”(1984).
