Today’s song is from the film Hospital-1943.
The film was directed by Sunil Mujumdar. Music was by Kamal Dasgupta, who was one of the pioneers in making NFS popular all over India through many singers from Bengal. The cast of the film was Kanan Devi, Agindra Chaudhari, Heeralal, Tulsi Chakraborti, Poornima, Manorama and many others.
When we talk of Calcutta or films made in Bengal, we generally think of New Theatres only. You will be surprised that there were at least 20+ film companies and studios, before and after New Theater started and some of them even made Hindi films too. Since the beginning of British Rule in India, Calcutta was the Capital of India. In the year 1911, the British shifted the Capital to Delhi. Till then Calcutta had a mixed population. people from all parts of India lived there. However business minded and hard working Gujarati and marwadi communities ruled the business of all types, including the film industry in Calcutta, much before the establishment of New Theatres. Sharmishtha Gooptu, the well known film historian has written this about the beginning of film business in Calcutta….
” Marwari and Gujrati businessmen had been quick to appreciate the scope for profit in the fast-growing cinema industry. One of the first to invest in the industry was Lalji Haridas, a businessman from Kathiawar, who founded M/S Lalji Hemraj Haridas in Calcutta, a firm dealing in piece goods. In 1918 he secured the Bengal agency for the Kohinoor Film Company of Bombay, and became an agent for Sharda Pictures in 1926. In 1930 he was managing Jupiter Cinema in Calcutta. With the advent of the talkies, he secured the distributing rights of, among others, Bombay’s Wadia Movietone, Paramount Film Company, and Shree Vishnu Cinetone. In 1936/37, Haridas managed the Bharat Laxmi Theatre in Calcutta. By 1937-38, he was one of the leading distributors of Indian films in Eastern India, Burma, and the Far East, with offices in Calcutta, Rangoon, and Singapore respectively. In 1938, Lalji Hemraj Haridas were the sole agents of Wadia Movie tone, Paramount, Indian Liberty Pictures, Shree Vishnu Cinetone, Jaybharat Movietone, Diamond Pictures, Daryani Productions, and Wishvakala Movietone for Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, and Assam.
Similarly, Bajrang Lal Khemka, one of the first among the Marwaris to go into the film business, had been a dealer in piece goods, jute, and Hussein; an importer of sugar and motor spare parts; and invested part of his profits therein in the fast expanding film industry. In 1932, soon after New Theatres was formed, Khemka started the East India Film Co. In 1937 he launched the Metropolitan Pictures in Calcutta. Soon he owned cinema houses in various parts of the country.
Radha Kisen Chamria of Radha Film Co., Babulal Chowkani, proprietor, Bharat Laxmi Pictures, and exhibitor/distributors H. M. Chamria and Chandanmal Indrakumar were other Marwari business magnates who claimed a plum share of profits accruing from Bengal’s film industry. These businessmen were close competitors of the Bengali bhadralok, men like B. N. Sircar; Anadi Bose, proprietor of Aurora Film Corporation; P. N. Ganguly, proprietor of Kali Films; Sir P. C. Tagore, chairman of the board of directors of the Film Corporation of India Ltd.; or producer/distributor Prafulla Ghosh, proprietor of Prafulla Pictures formed in 1936.
Aurora, for instance, though one of the leading “Bengali” distributors in Calcutta was evidently operating on a much smaller scale than Lalji Hemraj Haridas. Compared to the latter’s holding of sole distribution rights of eight Bombay concerns, Aurora, in 1938, was distributing for New Theatres Ltd., Radha Film Co., Bharat Laxmi Pictures, and Kali Films. Further, Aurora was not distributing for New Theatres in the most-significant eastern region, as revealed by Dossani Film Corporation’s claim of being the sole distributing agent for Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Assam, and Burma for New Theatres Ltd.Until the mid-1920s, there was no evidence of Bengali Muslims’ involvement with the cinema. The first involvement came in 1927 when members of the family of the Nawab of Dhaka made an experimental short film, Sukumari. In 1929, the same group embarked on the project of a full-length film, released as The Last Kiss in 1931. These initiatives apart, Bengali Muslim involvement in the film industry, through the 1930s was confined to solitary figures like Kazi Nazrul Islam and Abbasuddin Ahmed. Though later initiatives like the Chalachhitra Darshak Samiti (1939) and Bengal Tiger Pictures (1941) were patronized by some Muslim elites like Fazlul Haq and Humayun Kabir, they were marginal projects, and Bengali Muslims, by and large, remained detached from the film industry, so much so that Dhaka had no organized film industry until after independence. ”
Today’s film was made by M.P.Productions, Calcutta. Bajranglal Khemka, owner of the East India Film Company established Metropolitan Pictures Production co. in 1937. Film Hospital-1943 was made in Calcutta with all Bengali artistes. It is very difficult to get detailed information on Bengali actors as it is only available in Bangla languages, mostly. However, I could get information about the film’s Hero Ahindra Chaudhari, from The Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema by Ashish Rajadhyaksha. Here it is….
Ahindra Choudhury, born on 6th August, 1896, was a legendary theater actor and director of the Bengali stage who also enjoyed a long career in Bengali cinema.
Ahindra Choudhury’s theater debut was for the Art Theater at the Star, in Aparesh Chandra Mukhopadhyay`s “Karnarjun” i.e. “Karna and Arjun” in 1923. Interestingly, his film debut preceded his stage appearance by a year. His first film appearance came in the year of 1922 in the silent film ‘The Soul of the Slave’ (Dir. Prafulla Ghosh; produced by the Photography Syndicate of India). He continued to regularly feature in lead as well as character roles in significant films of important directors such as Madhu Bose etc till the 1950s.His two-volume autobiography is titled “Searching for my Lost Self” (Nijere Haraye khunji), which is full of important information about and insight into professional Bengali theater of the early twentieth century.
Actor born in Calcutta. Major Calcutta Theatres stage star launched with the key role of Arjun in epochal production of Karnarjun at Star Theatre (1923). Stagework in e.g. Iraner Rani, Bandini, Chirakumar Sabha, Mishar Rani etc. had an impact comparable to that of Sisir Bhaduri, who had a similar career. Early films at Madan Theatres, usually by Jyotish Bannerjee who continued to direct him into the talkie era, included stage successes like Mishar Rani and Karnarjun. At Madan also filmed scenes from his stage plays in early sound experiments. In 1928 attempted, unsuccessfully, to start the Ahindra Film Studio at Ultadanga, North Calcutta. Then directed some Telugu films for Aurora (Ansuya, Vipranarayana). Was a regular genre actor in Bengali cinema, notably in films by Sailajananda Mukherjee, P.C. Barua and Modhu Bose, until he retired in mid-50s. Wrote a two-volume autobiography, Nijere Haraye Khunji (1945). His collection of theatre and film memorabilia forms the Ahindra Choudhury Archives at Chetla, Calcutta. He died on 4-11-1974.
HOSPITAL-1943 was a film depicting a different atmosphere and a novel story matter, which made it a film worth a look. Added to it, the melodious music by Kamal Dasgupta and haunting songs by Kanandevi made the film a successful one at the Box office.
The film,a M.P.Production was directed by Sunil Muzumdar who was basically a writer.He used to write stories,Dialogues and Screenplays of films.Even in this film,he joined hands with Pt.Bhushan in Dialogue writing ,with Manmath Ray in its story and with Premendra Mitra in writing the screenplay. Lyrics were by Pt.Madhur and Pt.Bhushan.
Jayant is the son of Dr.Deen Dayal.He is educated but a vagabond and always in need of money. Once Deen dayal tells him that unless he gets married and does something for a living,he will not get any money.Dr.Deen Dayal is a widower and has established a hospital in a village for the benefit of poor people,in the memory of his departed wife.He goes to the Hospital from time to time.Jayant is introduced to Pratima(Kanan Devi) by Sandeep, her distant cousin and a friend of Jayant.
one day Jayant proposes to Pratima to act as his wife,only for a day, so that he can fool his father and extract some money from him.Pratima,after lot of cajoling,agrees to do so and they go to Dr.Deen dayal.The father is very happy to see his daughter in law.He not only compliments Jayanta for his choice but also gives him lot of money. The work having been achieved, Pratima wants to go away, but the Doctor would have none of it. He forces her to go with him to the village Hospital.
Dr.Bhatt, his assistant is a hidden enemy of Deendayal and wants to throw him out to usurp the hospital.He suspects that Jayanta and Pratima are not married.He employs detectives and confirms this.In the meantime Jayant and Pratima start loving each other.Pratima also finds out that Dr.Bhatt has misappropriated Hospital money for Medicines.She exposes him before he exposes her and the Doctor is removed from the Hospital. By now, Deen dayal also has found out that these two are not married. He gets them married.
Today’s song is a duet sung by Kanan Devi and Jagmohan Sursagar. HFGK does not mention the male singer’s name. However, Sunil Trivedi ji of Surat who was a family friend of Jagmohan Sursagar has informed that Jagmohan himself told him that this song was sung by him. Sunil ji’s comments to this effect are available on this Blog. Enjoy….

‘Anjangarh’ (1948) was directed by Bimal Roy for New Theatres, Calcutta. This movie had Bipin Gupta, Ajay Kumar, Hiralal, Sunanda Devi, Rama Indu, Parulkar, Bhupendra Kapoor, Tulsi Chakraborty, Asit Sen, Jahar Roy etc in it.
This movie had six songs in it.
HFGK mentions that all six songs of the movie were composed by RC Boral.
One song from ‘Anjangarh’ (1948) was covered in the blog. This song, which appears to be a prayer, was sung by Pankaj Mullick and Utpala Sen. Pt Bhushan was the lyricist. The post mentioned RC Boral as the music director as mentioned in HFGK.
Then Mr Sunil Trivedi who was quite close to Pankaj Mullick, sent a message to our beloved in-house encyclopedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh. He mentioned that
Dear Arunkumar ji,
I received from Harishbhai Raghuvanshi atulsongaday.me write up on above. MD is stated as RC Boral. Though he was MD for entire movie but not for 2 songs of Pankaj Mullick this + Aye julm ki janjir se jakade hue quaidee. Both songs WERE COMPOSED BY PANKAJDA HIMSELF. PANKAJDA HAS NEVER SANG SOMEONE’s COMPOSITIONS incl Hindi song of Bangla movie Monihar sung by Pankajda,music was by Pankajda and not movie MD Hemantkumar.Regards,
Sunil Trivedi ”
Accordingly, we revised the name of the music director to Pankaj Mullick.
It was mentioned in that e mail that Pankaj Mullick had sung another song in the movie.
Here is that Pankaj Mullick solo song from ‘Anjangarh’ (1948). This song is penned by Ramesh Chandra Pandey. As mentioned by Mr Sunil Trivedi, this song was composed by Pankaj Mullick himself.
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
I have not been able to note down the lyrics fully to my satisfaction and there are gaps/ errors in the lyrics. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the gaps/ suggest corrections in the lyrics as applicable.

#the Decade of 2001–2010 #
—————————————————
(“Great Dreams of Great Dreamers are always transcendent” – APJ Abdul Kalam)
Today’s movie starts with the above inspiring words by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
Today 15th October’2023 is 92nd birth anniversary (15.10.1931-27.07.2015) of the great son of this soil – Aerospace Scientist and President of India – A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam BR).
Abdul Kalam was born in Rameswaram (Tamilnadu, India). We are all aware of how this great soul started his journey of life and rise to be known as the ‘missile man of India’ with his invaluable contributions he made for the development of ‘space science’ and especially for the ‘development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology’ in our country. He also served as the President of India from 2002 to 2007. He became popular as the ‘People’s President’. Dr Kalam was very fond of children and he always loved to interact with students and spend time with children. He was very keen on shaping the young minds i.e. children and students of this country and he inspired many to achieve their goals in their life.
Dr Kalam remained a bachelor throughout his life. He lived a simple life with integrity and his life has set an example of how great heights can be scaled by a common man with dedication and perseverance and hard work. Religion and Spirituality were very important to him. He has authored several books which are inspiring our new generations and will keep doing so in future too. In 2015 on July’27th when he was delivering a lecture at IIM, Shillong he collapsed and passed away leaving the whole nation in the state of shock and grief. (I still remember that day. I was staying in Nagpur then. It was a very sad day for all).
Today (15 October 2023), on this day, I would like to pay our tributes to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam here on the blog. For this purpose I was looking for a song and I was going through songs from the movie, that very first come to my mind, ‘Mission Mangal’. However I remember that there was a movie made with the title ‘I Am Kalam’. I was not aware of the story of this movie and had not watched it yet. But when I read about this movie and checked for its songs I decided to present this song which is tailormade for our purpose. The song is picturised showing children school and one by one they are expressing what they want to become in their lives. I think this is the perfect tribute to Dr Kalam. The song is a background song. As mentioned earlier it is from the movie ‘I Am Kalam-2010’.
“I Am Kalam-2010” was directed by Nila Madhab Panda for ‘Smile Foundation Production’. The concept of this movie was also by Nila Madhab Panda. The cast of this movie had Gulshan Grover, debutant Harsh Mayar, Husaan Saad, Pitobash, Beatrice Ordiiex, Namrata Dixit, Garima Bharadwaj, Keshav Sharma, Mina Meer, S.D. Chouhan, Biswajeet Bal, Ashok Joshi, Suresh Acharya, Laxmi (Camel), Rajat Bhalla, Donna Deb and many others. Sanjay Chouhan was the creative producer and writer of this movie. Shantanu Mishra was the producer of this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Prashant Naik.
Here is the brief about this movie as taken from one of the ‘YouTube’ link. I have added the actor’s names to their respective character name in the movie.
Chhotu aka Kalam (Harsh Mayar) is an intelligent boy about 12 years of age from Rajasthan. Born into poverty, he is pawned off by his mother (Mina Meer) to work at a roadside food stall under the somewhat kind owner, Bhati (Gulshan Grover). The mother says repeatedly “School is not in our destiny”. Once, he (Chhotu) sees the then President of India, Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s address on television. He learns that Kalam was a poor boy like him, who sold newspapers. Inspired by a message from President Kalam, that anyone can change his or her destiny by education Chhotu starts studying on his own whenever possible. The movie is about how there is no such destiny and such supposed destinies can be changed by one’s own hard work.
I would like to mention here that this movie is a treat to watch. It is shot in Rajasthan and includes the locations such as ‘Karni Mata Temple’, Bikaner, Dhandusar village, Doongargarh and others. It also has a scene at the location of India Gate (Rajpath, New Delhi). This movie is available online and I think people will enjoy this lot. I would also like to request to those who have already watched this movie to share their experience of this movie. ‘I Am Kalam-2010’ received many awards and honours at various film festivals.
“I Am Kalam” has seven soundtracks including two versions of the today’s song. Lyricist Manvendra, Protique Mojoomdar, Kishore, Salil Vaidya, and Shivji Dholi shared the lyrics writing for this movie. Susmit Bose, Abhishek Ray, Papon and Madhuparna composed the songs of this movie. Background music for this movie was composed by Deepak Pandit.
Today we will listen to a song from this movie which is sung by KK & chorus for the main version and Mansi Bharadwaj & chorus for the children version. Lyrics are by Manvendra and music is composed by Abhishek Ray.
Let us listen to this song and have in our thoughts APJ Abdul Kalam – a great human being, a great scientist and a great Teacher!!!
With this post the movie ‘I AM KALAM -2010’ makes its debut on the blog.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this “Praising the Almighty” genre of song.
I find this song a great song to listen to when one is feeling a bit down and he needs some cheering up. Listening to this song serves as a magic potion to make the listeners re-invigorated and re-energised.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

When Imperial Movietone released India’s first sound film, ‘Alam Ara’ in 1931, other top film production companies of Hindi films followed suit. Madan Theatre with ‘Shirin Farhad’ (1931), Ranjit Movietone with ‘Dev Devyani’ (1931), Sagar Films with ‘Meri Jaan’ (1931), Prabhat Film Company with ‘Ayodhya Ka Raja’ (1932, in Marathi and Hindi), New Theatre with ‘Mohabbat Ke Aansoo” (1932) were some of the early film production companies to release their first Hindi sound films.
Wadia Brothers were the late entrant to the production of sound films. The reason was that JBH Wadia did not have his own banner when he was making the silent films since 1928. It was only when sound films came into existence, JBH Wadia was joined by his brother Homi Wadia to set up Wadia Movietone in 1933. The banner’s first sound film was ‘Laal-e-Yaman’ (1933) which was directed by JBH Wadia. Wadia Brothers were the populist film-makers who believe in making wholesome entertainment films. They mainly chose the genres of stunts, action, adventure and costume drama films. The first sound film was a money spinner for the banner which enabled them to set up their own studio.
‘Laal-e-Yaman’ (1933) will be remembered for shaping the career of two artists who acted in the film in side roles. First, Master Feroze Dastoor was introduced in the film as a singer-actor. JBH Wadia was a patron of Hindustani classical music. When he heard 14-year-old Feroze Dastoor singing a Hindustani classical song, he decided to use his voice for the film. In the absence of the playback singing system, he was taken in the film as an actor so that he can sing the songs. Feroze Dastoor sang 7 songs in the classical/semi-classical genre. Later, Pandit Feroze Dastoor became one of the leading Hindustani classical vocalists belonging to Kirana Gharana.
The second actor was Nadia who did a small role in the film as a chorus singer. In a couple of years after the release of ‘Laal-e- Yaman’ (1933), JBH Wadia selected her as lead actress for ‘Huntrerwali’ (1935) which was directed by his brother, Homi Wadia. The film became a runway success in terms of box office collection. Eventually, she became the Wadia Movietone’s top most star and India’s top action actress, popularly known as ‘Fearless Nadia’.
JBH Wadia’s interest in Hindustani classical music motivated him to make short films of about 10 minutes on then upcoming vocalists and musicians for their promotions. During 1933-42, he made many such short films covering Mallika Pukhraj, Kumar Gandharva, Azim Prem Ragi, Ahmed Jaan Thirkawa (Tabla), Sakhawat Hussain Khan (Sarod) among others. These short films were shown along with Wadia Movietone’s main feature films as an added bonus for the audience. The first two mentioned above are availabe for viewing on video sharing platforms.
JBH Wadia was involved with Indian National Congress during 1930-38. Under the influence of Congress, JBH Wadia promoted the theme of freedom struggle, Hindu-Musilim unity, eradication of caste system, emancipation of women, eradication of illiteracy etc, in his stunt and action films. In 1937, he came into contact of MN Roy (1887-1954), a Marxist revolutionary, who had joined the Indian National Congress in 1936 after his disillusionment with communism. After leaving Congress in 1940, MN Roy started an alternative ideology called ‘Radical Humanism’. JBH Wadia was highly influenced by MN Roy’s intellect and the honesty of the convictions about his ideology. Under his influence, JBH Wadia was leaning towards making socially relevant films. Later in his life, MN Roy became his close friend and philosophical guide.
Sometime in 1941, Wadia Movietone decided to produce a big budget film ‘Raj Nartaki’ (The Court Dancer) (1941) in Hindi, Bangla and English which featured Sadhana Bose and Prithviraj Kapoor in the lead role. The film was directed by Madhu Bose. Unfortunately, the film failed in the box office collections. With this, the differences between Wadia brothers as also between JBH Wadia and the financiers arose leading to the dissolution of partnership in Wadia Movietone. Homi Wadia left Wadia Movietone in 1942 to form his own film production company called Basant Pictures and continue to produce stunt and action films.
The financiers of Wadia Movietone wanted it to continue to make stunts films. JBH Wadia was veering toward social genre of films. The differences led to financiers withdrawing their support to Wadia Movietone. To raise the finance, JBH Wadia had to sell the studio to V Shantaram who had then set up his own film production company, Rajkamal Kala Mandir in 1942. JBH Wadia started producing social genre of films. Some of his such films were ‘Aankh Ki Sharm’ (1943), ‘Vishwas’ (1943), ‘Mela’ (1948), ‘Magroor’ (1950), ‘Madhosh’ (1951), ‘Duniya Jhukti Hai’ (1960), Saaz Aur Sanam’ (1971) etc.
[Note: Some of the events mentioned in the above paragraphs are based on an article ‘Those Were The Days’ written by JBH Wadia and published in ‘50 Years of Indian Talkies (1931-1981)’ by Indian Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, 1981. The article was reproduced in cinemaazi.com].
I find it interesting coincidence to note that one of the reasons for the downfall of Sagar Movietone was its ambitious and a high budget film ‘Kumkum, the Dancer’ (1940) which failed at the box office. Wadia Movietone’s downfall was also due to its high budget film ‘Raj Nartaki’ (1941) which also failed at the box office. Both the films had a common theme of a dancer played by Sadhana Bose. Both the films was directed by Madhu Bose.
‘Manthan’ (1941) was produced under the banner of Wadia Movietone and was directed by Ramjibhai Arya. The cast included Sardar Mansoor, Radha Rani, Rajkumari, Dalpat, Boman Shroff, MK Hasan etc. The film belonged to the genre of ‘costume drama’. This film was made at a time when Wadia Movietone was under financial strains due to the money locked in its ambitious high budget film, ‘Raj Nartaki’. Probably, this may be the reason that not much advertisements of the film during its making as well its release, were noticed.
‘Manthan’ (1941) had 10 songs. All the songs were written by Pandit Faani which were set to music by Baldev Nayak. I am presenting the first song from the film “Jeevan Ki Aashaayen’ to appear on the blog. HFGK mention the name of the singer as Rajkumari. The voice does not sound that of Rajkumari Dubey. This means that the singer could be Rajkumari Calcuttewaali. I have a seen a photograph of Rajkumari from the film ‘Manthan’ (1941) and she does not look like Rajkumari Dubey. On checking with Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji, who has uploaded the song, he has confirmed that the singer is Rajkumari Calcuttewaali.
With this song, ‘Manthan’ (1941) makes a debut on the Blog.

Blog Day : |

It is the 8th year of my association with our Blog. I do not remember the date but it was in the month of July 2011 when I found this musical Blog. I began my formal association with the Blog by posting my first comment sometime in the last week of July 2011. It was much later I came to know that the Blog had then just completed its third birth anniversary.
Congratulation to Atul ji and his bandwagon for completing today the 11th year of the Blog. Over a period of time, our Blog has transformed into a cooperative movement to propagate Hindi film and non-film music especially of the vintage and the golden periods.
My interest in Hindi film music began during the early days of Binaca Geet Mala which used to be broadcast on Radio Ceylon every Wednesday. But it was during the late 1960s that I developed interest in the nitty gritty of Hindi film songs. I became the collector of 78 rpm gramophone records of popular as well as the then rare songs mostly of films released during 1940s to 1960s. However, by 1972-73, I had become disillusioned with my hobby for number of reasons, the main reason being the undesirable practices of a few of the record collectors and sellers.
During 1990s to 2000s, I was virtually cut off from the Hindi film music of the golden era as even my record player became irreparable and the India-made new ones were not available. The radio had become almost redundant. During this phase, I used to regularly watch TV programmes on Doordarshan (for Chitrahaar), Channel [V] and MTV. At that time, I started liking Hindi pop songs (Indipop). Those were the days when Hindi pop songs had become very popular to the extent that they were competing with Hindi film songs in terms of sales of the song albums. Among the Hindi pop singers, Alisha Chinoy, Sunita Rao, Sweta Shetty, Phalguni Pathak, Palash Sen, Diler Mehndi, Lucky Ali, Sonu Nigam and many others became very popular. The popularity of Hindi pop songs attracted some of the already well-established artists like Asha Bhonsle, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Shubha Mudgal, AR Rehman, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Javed Akhtar etc. who got associated with Indipop.
After my final retirement from the service in June 2009, I again got interested in Hindi film music. It was during this phase when I came across this Blog and my interest in the Hindi film music was revived. But the most important contribution of the Blog for me was that my hobby of listening Hindi film songs got expanded to cover non-film songs and research in Hindi films and the music. The Blog has become a learning curve for me insofar as Hindi films and non-films music are concerned.
On the occasion of the 11th birth anniversary of our musical Blog, I have chosen one of my favourite indipop songs of the new millennium. The song is ‘Jahaan Ho Pyaar Ka Mausam’ (2002) rendered by the all-girls VIVA Band consisting of Seema Ramchandani, Pratichee Mohapatra, Neha Bhasin, Mahua Kamat and Anushka Manchanda. The song is written by Javed Akhtar which is set to music by Jatin-Lalit.
The song has a very thought provoking mukhda which has a universal appeal:
jahaan ho pyaar ka mausam
jahaan sab dilon ka ho sangam
jahaan meethi ho sab logon ki zubaan
haan
mujhe aise nagar hai jaana
main aisa nagar dhoondh loongi kahin na kahin
When I heard this song recently after a long gap, it immediately struck me that the mukhda of the song was very apt for our Blog. For me, our Blog is the place where there is an atmosphere of love, union of hearts and minds. And where everyone speaks in a language of respect.
I should give some background about the song under discussion. In 2002, Channel [V] decided to promote pop stars in India. They started the first Indian version of the International Popstars Talent Show in 2002 in which 5 girls got selected. They formed a band named as VIVA. Their first album, VIVA produced by Times Music and Channel [V] was released in June 2002 which had 8 songs, including the song under discussion. All the songs were written by Javed Akhtar but they were set to music individually by Shankar-Ehsan-Loy, Jatin-Lalit, Sandeep Chowta, Raju Singh, Kersi Lord and Ashtosh-Dhruv. The album received a very good response and in the first year itself, sales of albums crossed 5 lakhs.
VIVA Band got split within two years of its formation despite unprecedented success of its two albums. Probably, the girls in the band could not handle their sudden fame. Later, all of them pursued their solo careers in music and the related fields.
I had watched the video of the song under discussion umpteen times on TV during 2002-03. I always liked it for its meaningful lyrics and comparatively soft musical interludes than some of other Indipops.
For those who had watched the video of the song on TV in early 2000, it will be a nostalgic experience.

Today (23 january 2019) is the birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose, one of the most admired freedom fighters of India.
One year ago, I had written a detailed writeup about his escape from his house arrest. That writeup was accompanied by the song Jodi tor daak..tanha raahi apni raah chalta jaayegaa.
Writing that article was quite a emotional roller coaster ride for me, because I tried to imagine all the meticulous planning of that escape, including the successful execution of the plan.
In the process, I watched snippets of the movie “Bose The forgotten Hero”(2004) which contains this song.
Lyrics of that song were sent to me by Avinash Scrapwala. One year later, he sent the lyrics of another song from the movie to be posted on this occasion with a request of a writeup by me because I have seen the movie. No, I have not seen the movie. I have only seen parts of it, because I cannot bear to see the full movie even though I know that it is a movie and the scenes depicted in the movie happened over seven decades ago.
So, my writeup is not based on my watching the movie, rather it is based on my impressions on Subhash Chandra Bose.
It seems to me, and many people would agree that his contributions towards the independence movement has been vastly underrated and attempts have been made to consign his contribution to just a few lines. We have been fed the history that non violent agitations led by Mahatma Gandhi won us our freedom.
When I try to think about it now, it does not seem to add up. If non violent agitations gave us freedom, then what explains the violence that took place during the partition ? Why the proponents of these non violence agitations agreed to the participation of Indian armymen in the second world war and also the first world war before that ? If people in India really followed non violence, then what explains the Indo Pak wars that took place and the terror attacks that are taking place from across the border.
When one tries to look at the reasons for the independence of India, it appears that the reason why India got independence was not Non violent agitations but it was mainly due to the precarious economical situation of Britain.
Britain which used to be the strongest economy in the world till the 18th century found itself being overtaken by USA and Germany by the turn of 19th century. USA was able to cash in because it pioneered new indstries, viz automobiles, motorbikes and aircrafts and became the leading manufacturer of these new technology items. The first world war and later the second world war devastated British economy. After the second world war ended Britain had lost much of its absolute wealth. Its trade reduced to just one third vis a vis its pre war trade. Dollar had become the preferred currency and Britain had shortage of dollars to pay off its wartime debts. As an emergency measure, Britain began to hive off its overseas assets. USA extracted a heavy price from Britain for getting involved in the second world war. Britain had to take a loan of $ 4.33 billions from USA. Winter of 1946-47 broke the back of British economy, with cutrailed economic production and shortage of coal. The situation reeached its worst in August 1947 !
Is it a coincidence that India got its independence in August 1947 ! With the benefit of all the information contained in the above para, it appears that Britain were in no position to be able to hold on to India any longer. Even if there were no agitations, violent or otherwise, Britain woould have left India sooner or later.
It appears to me that holding on to the Indian empire was becoming more and more prohibitively expensive for Britain. It would seem to me that “Non violent” agitations were not the only thing Britain had to worry. They also had to worry about the real possibility of disenchantment in the natives who manned Indian Army. The contribution of Subhash Chandra Bose’s Azad Hind Fauz, which actually participated in world war II cannot be underestimated.
The end of the war saw a large number of the troops of Azad Hind Fauz repatriated to India where some faced trials for treason at Red Fort in Delhi. Instead of acting as a deterrent,as hoped by the British, these trials became a galvanising point in the Indian Independence movement. The Bombay mutiny in the Royal Indian Navy and other mutinies in 1946 are thought to have been caused by the nationalist feelings that were caused by the INA trials. Many historians believe that these events played a crucial role in hastening the end of British rule in India.
After independence, Gandhian freedom fighters were given the status of freedom fighters but Azad Hind Fauz members were denied this privilege. Nevertheless, the Azad Hind Fauz remains a popular and passionate topic in Indian culture and politics.
India became politically independent on 15 august 1947. It wold take decades and decades of slog with lots of troubles enroute, before Indian fortunes would begin to look up and they would shrug off the tag of a begging bowl nation and subsequently a nation considered the fastest growing major nation in the world. I would cover this vast topic in another writeup on the occasion of Republic day, which falls three day later.
For now, let us listen to this song of hope. The hopes of securing independence. The hopes of living happily ever after. The song is a chorus song. Jawed Akhtar is the lyricist. Music is composed by A R Rahman.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Avinash Scrapwala.

Ghulaami ke taalon ki chaabhi hai
Phir kaisa khatraa baaki hai
Khuda bhi hamaara saathi hai
Ham Dilii Dilli jaayenge
Ham apna Hind banaayenge
Dilli Dilli jaayenge
Ham apna Hind banaayenge
Fauji ban ke jaayenge
Aur Dilii ko sajaayenge
Fauji ban ke jaayenge
Dilii ko sajaayenge
Zaalim firangi qaum kaa
Ham naam-o-nishaan mitaayenge
Ham Dilli Dilli jaayenge
Ham apna Hind banaayenge
Dilli Dilli jaayenge
Ham apna Hind banaayenge
Fauji ban ke rehna hai
Dukh dard museebat sahna hai
Ab fauji ban ke rehna hai
Dukh dard museebat sahna hai
Subhash kaa ye kehna kehna hai
Chalo Dilli chal ke rehna hai

हम दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
फौजी बन के रहना है
दुःख दर्द मुसीबत सहना है
अब फौजी बन के रहना है
दुःख दर्द मुसीबत सहना है
सुभाष का ये कहना कहना है
चलो दिल्ली चल के रहना है
हम दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
हम गोली खा के झूमेंगे
मौत को बढ़ के चूमेंगे
मतवाले बन आज़ादी के
हम दरिया जंगल घूमेंगे
गोली खा के झूमेंगे
मौत को बढ़ के चूमेंगे
मतवाले बन आज़ादी के
हम दरिया जंगल घूमेंगे
सुभाष हमारा हावी है
ग़ुलामी के तालों कि चाभी है
फिर कैसा ख़तरा बाकी है
खुदा भी हमारा साथी है
हम दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
फौजी बन के जायेंगे
और दिल्ली को सजायेंगे
फौजी बन के जायेंगे
दिल्ली को सजायेंगे
ज़ालिम फिरंगी कौम का
हम नाम-ओ-निशान मिटायेंगे
हम दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
दिल्ली दिल्ली जायेंगे
हम अपना हिन्द बनायेंगे
फौजी बन के रहना है
दुःख दर्द मुसीबत सहना है
अब फौजी बन के रहना है
दुःख दर्द मुसीबत सहना है
सुभाष का ये कहना कहना है
चलो दिल्ली चल के रहना है
