As usual, I cannot keep away from Rafi songs for long. I stumbled upon this movie in the list of songs movie-wise and saw only 7 songs are posted out of 12. The movie is Mastani (1955), the middle of 50’s decade when Rafi Sahab was still finding his niche in the industry and was adding variety of flavourful spices in each new song, he sang for each new actor. The talent of instilling mischief and new murkiyan in the rendition, became the highlight of each music score, who ever be the composer. It also put the other male playback singers in the shade because none could compete. Not the old brigade of singers of 40’s, who sedate style of singing was soon to become obsolete. Mid 50’s was also the time when music score with Rafi sahab as solo male singer started.

Some thought he could find his core strength in playback and people can bracket him into a comic singer, or a theme song singer, or faqeer baba singer. But it was soon clear, that there was no genre of song that the MD could compose and Rafi Sahab could not sing. This was the voice of hero, in romance and sadness, voice of the character actors, and voice anyone else having a song to sing in the films script.

Today’s song is from the film Ratnavali-1945. It was neither a Flop nor a Hit film. Despite the prediction of the film magazine Film India about its total failure, it did recover its cost and made a good profit also. Although it was labelled as a ‘Social Film’, by the HFGK, it was actually a Costume film, based on a King, Queens and Vazier type story.

The film was made by Amar Pictures, Bombay. It was directed by Virendra Desai, son of the owner-Chimanlal Desai and the music was by Pt. Govind Ram- one of the most respected senior Music Directors of those times. Many younger composers treated him as their Idol. C.Ramchandra was one of such composers. The cast of the film included Surendra, Ratnamala, Maya Banerjee, Usha mantri, Leela Mishra, K.N.Singh, Ansari and others.

Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Prithvi Vallabh-1943, making the film YIPPEED !

It was a film produced and directed by Sohrab Modi, for his own banner Minerva Movietone, Bombay. This was a Historical film, which was the strong point of Sohrab Modi. The film’s music credit was shared by Rafiq Ghaznavi and Saraswati Devi. For her, it was the first film after she left Bombay Talkies, where she spent a glorious beginning and her peak years. The cast of the film included Sohrab modi, Durga Khote, Jahan Ara Kajjan, Meena (Shorey), K.N.Singh, Al Nasir, Navin Yagnik, Alaknanda, Sadiq Ali and many small time artistes.

Today’s song is from a confusingly titleed film-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 (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

The festival of ‘Rakshaabandhan’ is being celebrated all over the country today (9 August 2025). It was mentioned by me in my earlier post today that this will also mark the end of the month of saawan in the northern parts of India. However in the southern parts including Central India the month of saawan will continue till the amaavasyaa falling on 23rd of August. We have been posting saawan songs ever since saawan commenced all over the country. Today we are ending this series here. So, in this post we have a raakhee song as this festival of ‘Rakshaabandhan’ is also associated with the month of saawan.

Nowadays I am presenting saawan songs from Hindi films that were so far missing from the blog. In this process I am coming across surprises on a daily basis. I am discovering some great compositions.

Everybody has his/her own preferences in music. As for me, I mostly enjoy those creations that I had not listened to earlier.

While looking for songs thst I had never heard before, I got to listen to these songs and I noted them down to be used for my write-ups. That is how I got to listen to these songs, by specifically searching for them, something that most normal music lovers are not likely to do.

Today’s saawan song is from the movie ‘Krishna Leela-1946’. When I came across this song, I was surprised that it was still missing on this blog, because the singer of this song is none other than Kanan Devi.

‘Krishna Leela-1946’ was directed by Devki Bose for Geetanjali Pictures, Bombay. It had Kanan Devi, Paresh Bannerjee, Devi Mukherjee, Ranjeet Roy, Parvati, Suprabha, Kamal Mitra, Gokul Mukherjee, Tandon, Kapoor, Krushto Dhan and others.

In this post I am presenting a saawan song from a recent movie ‘Jhoothi Shaan-1991’. Though this movie is now thirty-five years old, by the standards of our blog we call it a recent movie. I have neither watched this movie earlier nor remember to have listened to any songs of this movie.

“Jhoothi Shaan-1991” (which I would have otherwise spelled as ‘Jhhoothhee Shaan’:) ) was directed by Ranjan Bose for Prime Movies. Ranjan Bose the director of this movie also wrote the story and screenplay of this movie. Askari Jafri and Sanjay Gulati were the producers for this movie. The cast of this movie has Mithun Chakravarty, Shabana Azmi, Poonam Dhillon, Nadira, Shakti Kapoor, Kanwaljeet, Jagdeep, Pallavi Joshi, Deven Verma, Huma Khan, Sudhir, Satyen Kappu, Ashalata, Manmauji, Tarun Ghosh, Kirti Kumar, Raj Tilak, Raj Kaul, Pratap, Ravi, Pappu, M. Joshi, Amol Sen and others. This movie was passed by the censor board on 13.12.1991.
