Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.130
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (30 May 2013), three songs from three different movies (plus one Non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8147 O dilruba sun tujhpe mera dil nisaar hai Mastaani (1955) 5 songs covered out of 12 by now
8148 Tere poojan ko bhagwaan Shamshad Begam NFS(1934)
8149 Aap ne apna banaaya meharbaani aap ki Dulhan Ek Raat Ki(1966) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8150 Le matki aaja Radha ri Do Dil (1947) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now

We observe that two movies (out of three) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with only one unYIPPEED movie that is eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (30 May 2023).

That BTYC eligible movie is “Mastaani”(1955).

“Mastaani”(1955) was produced and directed by Dhirubhai Desai for Sharad Productions, Bombay. The movie had Nigar(Sultan),Manhar(Desai), Shahu Modak, Rathnamala, Niranjan Sharma, Agha, Suryakant,Seeta Bose, Santhosh Kumar, N.Bhushan, Dilip, Roop Kumar, Mishrilal, B.N.Bali etc in it. In addition there were guest appearances by Kamal Indira Bansal, Jankidass, Yashodhara and Bhagwan.

“Mastaani”(1955) had 12 songs in it. Five songs have been covered so far.

Here is the sixth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Some unidentified male voice utters “hoy hoy” a few times, but despite that, this song is very much a Shamshad Begam solo. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by B N Bali.

Only audio of the song is available. The song sounds like a dance song to me. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Today’s song is from a dubbed film Jeevan Nauka-1952.

A cursory look at the Film Index book tells us that that the word JEEVAN is a favourite with film makers.As many as 36 Talkie films were made till 2012 with the word Jeevan at the Title’s beginning. Surprisingly I did not find a single Silent movie title with this word. This of course is not an indication in any way, because silent films used to have several titles in different states for the same film. (Just for the records, the word most used in the Hindi film titles happens to be ” Ek”, which is used in 206 film titles from 1931 to 2012 ! ).

Today’s film Jeevan Nauka-1952 is a dubbed Malayalam film. The original film name was Jeevithan Nauka-1951. This film is hailed as the first ever mega Hit Malayalam film. This film was made in Tamil and Telugu at the same time, with the original. The Hindi dubbed version came after one year, in 1952.

The First Talkie film in

The first talkie film in the language Movie Year
Hindi Alam Ara 1931
Tamil Kalidas 1931
Bangla Jamai Sashti 1931
Marathi Ayodhyecha Raja 1932
Telugu Bhakta Prahlada 1932
Gujarati Narsi Mehta 1932
Indian English Karma 1933
Kannada Bhakta Dhruv/Sati Sulochana 1934
Oriya Seeta Vivah 1934
Punjabi Sheila 1935
Assamese Joymoti 1935
Malayalam Balan 1938

You can see that while Hindi, Tamil and Bangla Talkie films came in 1931, Telugu in 1932, Kannada in 1934, the Malayalam film came only in 1938. Compared to Tamil and Telugu, the Kannada and Malayalam film industries were slow in development.

Just to compare, there were 15 Kannada films made in the 1930’s decade, 21 films in the 40’s and 70 films in the 50’s decade. This was the decade when Dr. Rajkumar appeared in Kannada films and its picture changed.

Malayalam films – only 2 silent films in the 30’s. The first silent film Vigath kumaran started shooting in 1928 but was finally released on 23-10-1930. The other silent film was Marthanda Varma-1933. Till 1947, there were only 3 Malayalm Talkie films. In the 50’s decade-6 films, in 60’s-30 films, in 70’s-40 and in the 80’s decade 127 talkie films. This was the decade when malayalam films became ‘Grown up’ and prospered. In the next 10 years Malayalam films won many national awards too !

Initially, like other South Indian films, Malayalam films depended on Hindi songs to copy into their films. The first mega hit film of Malayalam- Jeevithan Nouka-1951 had 14 songs and ALL were copies of popular Hindi songs. For example , it had a song copied from “Suhani raat dhal chuki” from the film Dulari-1949. Another song was copied from “Hawa mein udta jaaye” from the film Barsaat-1949.

However, when the Hindi version was dubbed, 2 MDs from Hindi were appointed. They were Shankar rao Vyas and Pt. Gobind Ram. They ensured that all the 13 songs of this film had new tunes. Both the MDs were on their waning side of careers, but all songs were good. The singers were Manna Dey, Rafi, Asha and Shamshad. Today’s song is the 4th song to appear here.

Since the film was dubbed, all the cast and the director was Malayalam, about whom we know not anything. Only MDs, Lyricists and the singers were from the Hindi industry. Today’s song is composed by Pt. Gobind Ram.

Pandit Gobindram was a trained musician from Lahore, and was equally popular in both Hindi and Punjabi films. Unlike other music directors of the Punjabi school, music composed by him did not typically reflect native Punjabi trends, but instead lay firmly in the category of mainstream 1940s’ music. We could very well say that he played a crucial part in shaping the music of the 1940s. His music is truly melodious and varied, with a unique combination of highly expressive tunes, yet very fun and foot tapping and rhythmically catchy. He is one of the music directors who used a very large number of singers, by my count, only second toGyan Dutt one of his worthy contemporaries. He excelled equally in composing happy, sad, romantic, serious, comical, classical, just any kind of songs. It is a pity that he has never received the attention that he deserved.

Among his landmarks are the introduction of an enormous contribution to making Shamshad Begum and Zohrabai the top singers in Hindi films. He recorded the maximum number of Hindi film songs with Shamshad Begum – 86 songs in 19 films. He was also one of the foremost music directors to encourage and bring forward great veteran Rafi Ji, and also introduced great singer Zeenat Begum to films. He has about 30 films to his credit and each one had equally superb music. Most popular singers of that period have graced his songs. His use of light music, Ghazals, Thumris and various popular music forms in films, provide a ready insight into the uniqueness of 1940s music, and with a slightly unique flavour of both his compositions as well as a tiny tinge of Punjabi style.

Pandit Gobindram started his career with Jeevan Jyoti (1937), which starred Shakuntala Bai, R. L. Monge and Urmila Devi. The film unfortunately went unnoticed. This was followed by another unsuccessful film, Khooni Jadoogar (1939). The 1940s was the true decade for Gobindram Ji. His Punjabi filmography is not properly available, but his first Hindi film in the 1940s was Himmat (1941). Today, it is remembered for being the second ever Hindi film of veteran singer Shamshad Begum , where she beautifully sang the traditional Dadra ‘Inhin Logon Ne Le Leena Dupatta Mora’ with Aziz , in her young, sweet but powerful voice. The famous song with the same lyrics in Pakeezah (1972) is largely a copy of this song. This was the first song composed by Gobindram that helped him gain recognition. Other songs from this film included ‘Is Jag Ke Sundar Natak Ka’,the first solo film song of Zohrabai from 1941 to 1950, and a beautiful duet by Ghulam Haider and Umraozia Begum , ‘Main Hoon Rani Ek Sunehri Nagri Ki’.

But it was his next film, Mangti (1942) in Punjabi, which made him one of the most sought after music directors of the 1940s. This was the debut film for top Lahori singer Zeenat Begum , apart from being the first film for famous heroine Mumtaz Shanti , and took both of them as well as Gobindram to the top notch. This film, which went on to become the first silver jubilee Punjabi film, played an important role in popularising Punjabi folk tunes and the use of a mix of original Hindi film music and Punjabi folk music in films. ‘Aawe Chan We’, ‘Mainoon Suttiyan Neend Na Aayi’, ‘Sapne Wich Mahi Aaya, ‘Tere Daras Di Pyasi’ and ‘Ud Ja Bholeya Panchiya’ (with Nandlal Nurpuri ) were some memorably melodious songs in which Zeenat shone under Gobindram . It is also worth remembering for being the first ever South Asian film to have a female Qawwali, ‘Baanke Nainanwaleya, Nainan Milanda’ by Zeenat and Rehmat Bai , a very enjoyable one. This legacy was continued only 3 years later in Hindi films, with the famous Qawwali of Zeenat (1945), ‘Aahein Na Bhareen’ (Noor Jehan , Zohrabai , Kalyanibai ). Other songs in this film were by the talented Shamshad Begum and Rehmat Bai .

Gobindram Ji worked with more than 30 lyricists during his career. With 56 songs in 8 films, his collaboration was the highest with Ishwar Chandra Kapoor . The films where the two worked together were Bholi, Chor, Doosri Shadi, Ghar Ki Izzat, Maa Ka Pyaar, Naseeb, Ratnavali and Sassi Punnu. Some of the other prominent lyricists he worked with include Bharat Vyas (Chor, Jalpari, Jeevan Nauka, Raj Mukut), Ram Murti Chaturvedi (Chor, Naseeb, Parinde, Ratnavali), Ramesh Gupta (Hamara Sansar, Jeevan Nauka), and Qamar Jalalabadi (Pagli, Sahara, Sarkar).

The story of the film was…..

Soman (Thikkurissi) is brought up by his elder brother Raju (Sebastian Kunjukunju Bhagavthar) and his shrewish wife Janu (Pankajavalli). Soman is in love with Lakshmi (B. S. Saroja), the daughter of a poor village performer Kaniyan (Adhimoolam) who belongs to a lower caste. Raju, employed by the zamindar (Nanukuttan) and Janu resent the inter-caste marriage between Soman and Lakshmi.

Lakshmi gives birth to a son and in the meanwhile Soman goes to the city in search of a job. Lakshmi who is left behind in the village faces harassment at the hands of the villagers. In the city, Soman is hit by a car driven by a rich young woman who takes him home and also employs him as the manager of her estate. Janu starts receiving Soman’s letters and remittances which start arriving. Janu does this by impersonating Lakshmi with the connivance of her brother Shanku (S.P.Pillai).

Meanwhile Lakshmi leaves the village in search of Soman. During her wanderings Lakshmi sees her husband with a woman and suspects him of being disloyal. The young woman is none other than his employer. Lakshmi tries to kill her child and commit suicide but what saves her is the instinct of motherhood. Lakshmi gets together a band of beggars and organises a home for them. She uses her talent as an actress and collects funds for the home by staging plays. Back in the village life turns its tables on Raju and Janu, while her brother Shanku is killed. The real culprits, the zamindar’s advocate and his group of people mislead the police implicating Soman in the murder. During one of her plays, Lakshmi recognises her husband who is about to be arrested on the trumped up charge. Explanations follow and Soman is absolved of the false charge and the couple are reunited. Raju is helped out by Soman. Janu who has now become a beggar is recognised by Lakshmi. Regardless of what has happened in the past, Lakshmi takes Janu home. And all ends well.

Today’s song is a duet sung by Rafi and Shamshad.

“Veena”(1948) had 12 songs in it. Eleven songs have been covered in the blog.

Here are the details of the eleven songs that are already covered:-

17766 Ho o nirmohee bansi waale Shamshad Begam 19 May 2023

We can make some interesting observations about the songs of “Veena”(1948) covered so far in the blog:-

(1) Three male singers- Mukesh, C Ramchandra and Manna Dey and two female singers-Ameerbai Karnataki and Shamshad Begam were used in the songs.
(2) All the songs are solo songs.
(3) The movie made its debut in 2011. After a lull of nearly two years, five songs were covered in 2013. One song each got covered in 2014 and 2017 respectively.
(4) The last three songs have been covered in 2023.
(5) In 2013, there was a gap of 33 days between song number 2 (posted on 22 march 2013) and song number three (posted on 25 April 2013), but during these two dates 33 days apart, a whopping 241 songs got added in the blog at a rate of 7.3 songs daily !
(6) The breakup of songs are Shamshad Begam-5, Mukesh-3, Ameerbai Karnataki-1, C Ramchandra-1, Manna Dey-1)

The twelfth and final song of the movie too is a solo song. This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. That way, Shamshad Begam sang as many as seven solo songs in this movie.

Pt Narendra Sharma is the lyricist of this song. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.

Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that Shamshad Begam sang so may songs in the movie, she may have sung for the leading lady. So my guess is that this song was picturised on Sulochana Chatterjee. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

With this song, all the songs of “Veena”(1948) are covered in the blog. The movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

Today’s song is from an obscure film called Sapna-1952. I had not heard its name till I purchased the HFGK in 2011 !

The film was made by the Producer Kishor Sahu, under the banner of Hindustan Chitra, Bombay. The film’s director was Kidar Sharma, who was in the second half of his career. Out of his 36 Directorial ventures Sapna-52 was his 20th film. The famous , creative and hard working Kidar Nath Sharma was slowly losing his sheen in direction. Maybe he found difficulty in dealing with the changing scenario of the Hindi films in the 50’s decade. I have his autobiographical book ” The one and the Lonely Kidar Sharma” which is indeed an informative and interesting book. It gives a peep into the film scene of the 30’s and the 40’s as well as the famous Studio system.

Kidar Nath Sharma (12 April 1910 – 29 April 1999), was a director, producer, screenwriter, and Lyricist of Hindi films. While he had great success as a director of such movies as Neel Kamal (1947), Bawre Nain (1950) and Jogan (1950), he is often most remembered for starting the acting careers of actors like Ramola, Madhubala, Geeta Bali, Raj Kapoor, Mala Sinha, Bharat Bhushan and Tanuja, who are considered to be one of the greatest entertainers of Indian cinema.
Kidar Sharma has often been given the title of ‘one-man film industry’. He was producer, director, actor, story/screen-play/dialogue writer, lyricist, editor, still photographer etc. He was also known to have working knowledge of Hindustani classical music. He also sang a song for himself in the film ‘Inquilaab’ (1935). With a vast knowledge gained from working in New Theatres, Kolkata during 1933-41 and in Ranjit Movietone during 1942-47, Kidar Sharma had already directed 11 films and written lyrics for 23 films before he turned producer with ‘Neel Kamal’ (1947).

Kidar Sharma had a passion for film making. Otherwise why would a young man of 22 years after completing M.A. in English literature join the New Theatres (NT) as a painter? He would have very well got the job of a lecturer in any college in his native Punjab. His progress in filmy career was rapid. Within 2 years of joining NT, he was a still photographer and the lyricist for ‘Devdas’ (1935). He became dialogue writer for the Hindi version of ‘Vidyapati’ (1937) in addition to songwriting. By 1939, Kidar Sharma had become a free-lance director with ‘Aulaad’ (1939’), his debut film as a director followed by ‘Chitralekha’ (1941) which became a much talked about film. Incidentally, after about 23 years, Nadiadwala of Pushpa Films engaged Kidar Sharma to direct ‘Chitralekha’ (1964), a remake of its 1941 version.

After directing 9 films for Ranjit Movietone, Kidar Sharma decided to produce and direct ‘Neel Kamal’ (1947) under his own banner, Oriental Pictures. In fact, nobody was prepared to produce this film, not even his employer, Ranjit Movietone. So, he was forced to become the producer. He arranged finances by selling the distribution rights of the film in advance. For his maiden venture, he introduced two new comers – Raj Kapoor and Madhubala. Both the actors had done some bit roles in films before they were given the lead roles for the first time in the film. The film was an average success in terms of box office collections. Since then, Kidar Sharma produced and directed 14 films between 1947 and 1980.

As a producer-director, Kidar Sharma was not a showman like Raj Kapoor for whom the production value in terms of star cast, techniques and costly sets for film shooting were as important as the theme of the film. On the other hand, Kidar Sharma was an antithesis of a showman. He believed in low budget films which ruled out taking star actors for the lead roles. Hence, for almost all his films which he produced and directed, he preferred newcomers and his protégées to whom he had earlier introduced in his films. In this process, he gave to the Hindi film industry, popular actors like Raj Kapoor, Madhubala, Geeta Bali, Bharat Bhushan, Mala Sinha, Tanuja etc to whom he introduced in his films as lead actors for the first time. Similarly, he mostly relied on Snehal Bhatkar and Roshan as music directors for his films who were introduced by him in his films ‘Neel Kamal’ (1947) and ‘Sohag Raat’ (1948), respectively for the first time.

Kidar Sharma’s last box office successful film as a producer-director was ‘Baawre Nain’ (1950) with Raj Kapoor and Geeta Bali in the lead roles. All his subsequent films like ‘Shokhiyaan’ (1951), ‘Gunaah’ (1953), ‘Chhora Chhori’ (1954) and ‘Rangeen Raaten’ (1956), did not fare well at the box office. All his films in the 1960s and thereafter numbering 6 either failed miserably at the box office or did not get released. ‘Sehme Hue Sitaare’ (1994) was his last film which remained unreleased in the theatres.

In most of his films, the story is based on a village or a small town and he tries to depict the intricate human relationships. All his films gives an impression that he had not come out of the Bengali mode of film making which were losing stream in Hindi film industry in the later 1960s where films were seen more as a medium of entertainment to fill the coppers of producers and distributors in terms of profits than covering the social issues concerning the society at large. Kidar Sharma did not fit in this milieu. So, the last 5-6 films produced and directed by him became obscure to such an extent that most of us do not even remember the title of the films.

An outstanding poet, Sharma wrote some of the most memorable songs including Balam aayo baso more man mein, Dukh kay ab din beetat nahi, Khayalon Mein Kisike (Bawre Nain), Kabhi Tanhaiyon Mein Bhi (Hamari Yaad Aayegi) and Teri duniya mein dil lagta nahi. Kidar would continue to contribute as a lyricist and to write and direct films through the 1990s. Ironically, many Indian film critics and historians argued that he deserved the highest cinema award from the government of India but he died a day before he was to receive the Raj Kapoor Award, named in honour of the actor he helped make a success. Allrounder Kidar Sharma acted in 8 films, directed 36 films, sang 2 songs in 2 films and wrote 312 songs in 44 films, in his illustrious career.

His autobiography, The One and Lonely Kidar Sharma was published posthumously in 2002, edited by his son Vikram Sharma. ( This is an article by Sadanand Kamath ji,. I have added some information from wikipedia, muVyz and my notes. I thank Sadanand ji.)

The film’s Music Director was Shyam Babu Pathak, ably assisted by Shankar Lal. This MD’s name is hardly known to the younger generation because he operated from 1940 to 1952 except for two odd films in 1960 and 1965. He died in 1980, almost 43 years ago. Shyam Babu Pathak was born in 1908 at Gwalior. His music tuition started when he was just 7 years old. He studied in Madhav Sangeet Vidyalaya, under Rajabhaiyya Poonchhwale, Narayan Gupte and Bhatkhande etc. He became an excellent singer and was invited by several Royal houses all over India, for singing. Even V D Paluskar had blessed him. Strangely, though a good singer, he sang only 1 song in a film.

While touring all over India for Music Mehfils, he learnt many folk songs and tunes. This actually prompted him to join films as a composer. His first film was Royal Commander-1938 – a B grade Costume drama film made by Vishnu Cinetone. In his first film, for just 9 songs, he used as many as 6 different singers. Minimum songs had been his specialty. This was a novelty in the 30s, when the norm was on an average of 12 to 15 songs each film.

V M Vyas of Vishnu Cinetone, was impressed with him and he gave him many films. He got Rani saheba-40, Torpedo-40, Samsheerbaz-40, Malan-42 and Ghar sansar-42. He gave good songs sung by Kalyani, Sardar Akhtar and Kajjan. In Lajwanti-42, his songs were light and comedic. By now, he had become a confirmed Stunt/action and B/C grade composer. Pyara watan-42,Double face-46 were such films. Double Face was Indivar’s first film.

Black Market-47, Namak-47, krishna Sudama-47 and Kismatwali-47 were not much help. Takdirwale-48 with Ramprasad, Imtihan-49 and Ret Mahal-49 led him to film Jeet-49 with Anil Biswas. Actually,it seems Anil Biswas took over when Pathak left the film halfway.

After Janmashtami-50 and Achha ji-50, came Preet ka geet-50.Famous poet Harikrishna Premi wrote the songs, which were sung by Mukesh, Geeta and Johra. Next film Hamari Duniya-52 had good Lata songs. Meanwhile his film Parda remained unreleased. In the last phase of his career, came Sapna-52, Vanraj-52, Bombay Central-60 and finally, film Mehbooba-65 closed his career. In all he composed 224 songs in 29 films. He even sang a song in the film Krishna Sudama-47.

Shyam Babu Pathak died of a heart attack in Bombay on 23-11-1980.

All the 7 songs were by Bharat Vyas. The dialogues were by Ramesh Gupta. Ramesh Nanimal Gupta was born in Delhi on 26-10-1915. He debuted as a Lyricist with films Churiyan and Awaz, both in 1942. In 1943, his song ” Bharat ki ek sannari ki katha” from the film Ramrajya-43 is famous even today. He wrote 225 songs in 34 films. He acted in 2 films. He wrote stories and dialogues in 16 films. He was a poet, lyricist, story and dialogue writer, producer, director and even a singer and actor ! He produced and directed films like Ram darshan-1948, Bhakta Gopal Bhaiyya-1948, Rimjhim-1949 and Matalabi Duniya-1961. He sang a song in the film Raja-1943. His patriotic songs were famous in Gujarati films. He died in Ahmedabad on 19-1-1992.

The cast of the film was Kishor Sahu, Bina Rai,Shakuntala, Heeralal, Cuckoo, Narmada Shankar and many others. The story of this film was……

Kamal, s/o Jung Bahadur varma meets Achala d/o P.K.Bose and they fall in love. Kamal is the owner of a Saw mill. They get married. Achala’s father falls ill and dies. Kamal goes to Banaras to immerse the ashes. Achala goes to the local river kund for pooja.

Bandit Bhairav Nath (Safed Ghodewala) sees her. He has been on her trail, unknown to her, for many months. Seeing her now, he kidnaps her and rides away, injuring her servant on the way. When she does not return her father and others presume that she is drowned in the river.

When Kamal comes back, he learns about her drowning, but does not believe it. He goes to the Kund for investigations. He finds her Earring embedded in horse’s hair. He suspects kidnapping, which is confirmed by the servant who has returned from the Hospital.

Enraged, Kamal carries a Pistol and runs to the hiding place of the dacoit Bhairav. The father of Achala and her cousin sister Madhavi also follow him. Bhairav starts firing. Finally when they come face to face, Bhairav first shoots at Kamal, but the cousin sister of Achala, Madhavi comes in front and saves him. Kamal kills Bhairav but Madhavi dies. Achala is regained in one piece.

End of the story, end of the film and end of the audience’s tolerance. With great relief, the audience returns home happily !

Today’s song is a triad, sung by Shamshad Begum, Asha Bhosle and Indira. This is the 5th song of the film on this blog. Enjoy….

We observe that one movie (out of seven movies) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (viz on 24 April 2013) has since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with six unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (24 April 2023).

Five unYIPPEED movies have already been taken up under Blog Ten Year Challenge earlier today. Only one movie now remains to be taken up under BTYC.

This movie is “Jeewan Nauka”(1952).

“Jeewan Nauka”(1952) was directed by K Vembu for K & K Productions, Bombay. The movie had B.S.Saroja, Indira Acharya, Baby Girija, Thikkurisi,Sukumaran Nair,
Sebestian Kunju Bhagathar, Mutthukulam Raghavan Pillai, S.P.Pillai, Maathappan,Pankajavalli, Janamma jagathamma etc in it. This movie was dubbed from Malayalam movie “Jeevitha Nauka”(1951). Songs were recorded afresh. The Malayalam version of the song under discussion was a direct lift of Hindi movie song “Hawa mein udta jaaye mera laal dupatta malmal ka” from “Barsaat”(1949). When Hindi version of the song was planned, a new tune is created for the Hindi song that is being covered in this post. It must be said that this tune is quite catchy.

Only audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturiastion of the song.
