Today’ song is from an eminently resounding flop film from a highly successful film banner. The film was Ram baan-1948. It was made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay, who were famous for their outstandingly popular films on Ramayana stories. The failure of this Ram katha based film was a terrible shock not only to the banner, but its owner and director Vijay Bhatt, reportedly, went into a depression for some time !

Film Rambaan-1948 had almost the same winning team of the earlier two Blockbusters – Bharat Milap-1942 and Ram Rajya-1943. The lead pair of Shobhana Samarth, Prem Adib, and umakant and the Music Director Shankar Rao Vyas were the same The director was also the same- Vijay Bhatt. Even the writers, Lyricists and singers were the same. Then what went wrong ?

Today’s song is from the film Mahasati Tulsi Vrinda-1947.

1947 was a landmark year for India. We got our Independence on 15th August 1947. It was a matter of joy and sorrow, because on one hand we threw off the British rule, but before leaving, the British divided our country on religious line, creating Pakistan for Muslims. This not only affected the lives of Muslims who left India to settle in and develop their own country, it also disturbed almost all forms of business in India, wherever Muslims were involved.

Today’s song is from film ‘Jeena Seekho’ (1946). The film was made by Prabhakar Pictures, Bombay, which belonged to Bhalji Pendharkar, the elder brother of Baburaao Pendharkar – the hero of this film. Pendharkar brothers were quite big names in Maharashtra for film making. In fact, the whole clan of Pendharkar was connected with other famous people from film line, like Master Vinayak and V.Shantaram. Let us see how.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film Dev Kanya-46. The film was made by Vishnu Cinetone and was directed by its owner Dhirubhai Desai. Though there were 3 Lyricists, HFGK does not credit any song to any Lyricist. The melodious songs were composed by my favourite-or one of the favourites- MD Shyam Sundar (Gabba).

When I was a child, I was very fond of seeing Religious and Mythological movies. This was not because I was very religious minded, but because I liked the Trick scenes in these films. When I grew a little older, I was appointed the House Escort to a group of old relatives and women of the family whenever they wanted to see a movie- which was reasonably frequent. I would happily lead them as I too could see the film.

It is a bit of a surprise for me that one of the songs which I had heard from my mother in my childhood was intact in my memory even though I had no occasion to listen to on the radio or watch on the TV thereafter. This is more so when I was engulfed on those days by the popular songs of the early 50s. As I came to know much later, this song was the most popular one attaining the tag of the highest sales of gramophone records for HMV in 1943. The song was ‘beena madhur madhur kachhu bol’ from the film RAM RAJYA (1943). I was not aware of details of the song until I watched the video clip of the song for first time on YT few months back. Before that, I was under the impression that it was a non-filmy classical song.
