Today’s song is from a social film – Achhut-1940.

The second world war started from 1939, but its effects started being felt in India after 1940 only. The Government became alert and sensitive. Lots of restrictions were put on Imports and Exports. All exports to Germany and Japan were banned. Foreign travel came under Government microscope. Imports were restricted to only essential goods. Raw film stock came under Government control (and naturally became available freely in black market at exorbitant price). Taking advantage of the situation, the Government declared that those film production houses who help the Government in its war efforts, by making films with pro Govt. themes, would get raw film on priority.

Most production studios made films with Patriotic themes accordingly, spicing it with pro Govt dialogues to claim favours. Mahatma Gandhi too upped his efforts to Govt. in distress as much as possible by undertaking different Satyagrahas like the Salt Satyagraha, Burning of Foreign goods, Quit India Movement etc. At the same time Gandhi took up movement against social evils to attract public support to his main cause.

Today’s song is from a social film, with an intriguing title – Anban-1944.

Hindi film titles are sometimes funny and sometimes confusing. Funny, we can understand but confusing titles can cause problems. I can understand the same titles for films. There are hundreds of such examples. Same titled films can be found from 2 to 7 films. Yes. Film title ” Insaaf” was used for 7 films from 1937 to 1997 – one each in every decade !

When titles are similar but not exactly the same, they can still cause confusion. Here are some examples….. Aajkal and Aaj aur kal, Aarsi and Aarti, Shadi ke baad and Shadi se pehle, Agent 1-2-3, Agent 777 and Agent 999, Lagaan and Lagaam, Daanaa Paanee and Dana Pani etc etc.

Today’s film also falls in this category. There was a film called Aanbaan and this is Anban. For several years I was confused, but when I read in a Film magazine that this is Un-bun pronounced as “अन-बन ” (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

This is my 1800th post here !
Oh, my God !! It is simply unbelievable !!!

I started writing posts here from 1-10-2012 and in almost 13.5 years’ time, I wrote 1800 posts here. Add to it another 100 odd posts elsewhere, on different aspects of Hindi, Marathi, Telugu and Kannada films and I start thinking if I am really the same person ?

After quitting my Pharma work totally as a career (retirement in 1998, as a General Manager-Marketing and then as a Consultant upto 2008), I turned to my favourite subject – Old films and songs, starting only as a commentator on articles of other writers initially. I was initiated into writing posts by ATUL JI. So, whatever my achievements in this field are, the credit goes to ATUL JI, for his help, encouragement and for providing opportunity. Thank you, ATUL JI !

Today’s song is a 2-part Triade from the film Panghat-1943.

From their initial C grade stunt /costume films, Prakash Pictures of Vijay and Shankar Bhatt turned to Mythological films after the mammoth success of Bharat Milap-1942 and occasionally made a few social films too. In the end Prakash made exclusively social films only till closing down the studio in 1971. In their busy times in the first half of the 1940s, they made today’s film as a quicky.The entire film was shot in 45 days. This was possible as they had taken mostly B grade artists who had plenty of free time for shootings.

Film Panghat-1943 was directed by K.J.Parmar and Mahesh Chander- both Cinematographers with Prakash Pictures.The music was by S.N.Tripathi, favourite of Prakash Pictures. The Lyricists were Pt. Indra and Ramesh Gupta. The cast included Ratnamala, Umakant, Susheel Kumar, Alaknanda, Jeevan, Leela pawar, Rajkumari Shukla, Baby Tara and many others.

The music was originally by Hansraj Behl, but after composing just one song by Geeta Dutt, he had some dispute with the Producer and he left the film. Then A.R.Qureshi was brought in as the film’s Music Director and he composed 9 songs. The film’s cast included Shakeela, Mahipal, Heeralal, Maruti, Tiwari, Helen, Nazi, Sadiq, Roopmala and many others.

Zulfon ke saaye
Rukh pe giraaye
Shaidaayi mere
Dil ko banaaye
Shabnam ke moti
Pal pal pirotaa hai
Kya karun haay
Kuchh kuchh hotaa hai

The above is the mukhda first written for this song Tum paas aaye yoon muskuraaye ), which is the only song which is so far posted in the blog of the film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai(1998)”. The lyricist Sameer Anjaan wrote this mukhda first, which was rejected by Karan Johar and then he rewrote it as ‘tum paas aaye yoon mukuraaye” used for the song.

Without meaning to or searching for them, I have now seen lengthy interviews of two celebrities connected with this film. I even saw 15-minute-long climax scene of this film. So much help from youtube I never expected, but glad that it did.

We normally have a feeling of nostalgia towards the films we watched in our youth. We always love their music, their artists and the general experience we watched while seeing those films in the cinema halls of yore. Sometimes, in newer films, we see tributes being paid to them. Occasionally, we find the tributes a bit insipid leaving us uninspired. However, once in a while, a song makes you really feel good and enjoy it while giving you a feeling of nostalgia. Today’s song is one such song.
