Today’s song in this post is from the 1964 movie ‘Bhakt Dhruv Kumar’. Today I am presenting the third song from this movie. Though I had not got to listen to the songs from this movie earlier, but few months back I had shared a song from this movie which I liked very much. This song is another wonderful song and I wonder why it was not posted earlier on this blog.

Today’s song is from a re-made costume film from the South – Nishan-1949.

Besides being a Musical films’ year, 1949 was also an year when the South Indian filmmakers, especially S.S.Vasan, became active after the film Chandralekha-1948 became a successful one and brought in huge profits. It became an attraction for the filmmakers in the South. They understood that the Hindi film market was many times bigger than the Southern film market and that it was possible to capture a part of it with their south made Hindi films.

Initially, in the early era, Bombay was the biggest centre for film making. When the Talkie films started, other smaller centres in those times, like Lahore and the South, woke up. For Lahore, language was not a problem and so there was a traffic between Lahore and Bombay film people for work and technology. Thus few centres for film production prospered in Lahore-like Pancholi and Shorey etc.

Mohd Rafi – A Journey Divine – 1
(1944-46)

किसी ने कभी पानी से पूछा — पानी रे पानी तेरा रंग कैसा

तो जवाब जो पानी ने दिया — जिसमें मिला दो लगे उस जैसा

Someone once asked water, “Water, water, what color is yours?” The answer water gave was, “My color will resemble whatever I am mixed with.” This isn’t a quality, a skill, an art, or anything significant. It’s the very nature of water, a gift from God, bestowed upon water. When God created water in the universe, He granted it an inexhaustible treasure: despite being colorless, it possesses the unique ability to manifest every other color. Perhaps with a similar thought in mind, God brought to this earth an individual whose voice was so gifted with the ability to become the voice of any and every personality, every character. He shaped that individual’s personality with such natural simplicity that it could provide a voice for everyone behind the scenes, yet its own existence remained completely inconspicuous. This individual’s voice might be in the background, but listeners might not even be aware of its presence. Over time, this voice would linger behind hundreds of characters. Only those who knew would know what it was.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film Hanuman Pataal Vijay-1951.

The film was made by Basant Pictures of Homi Wadia, who was the Producer and the Director of this film. It is very strange that a person who separated from his own brother on the issue of making stunt/action films- which he advocated- resorted to making social and Mythological films and his brother, who advocated making films other than stunt/action films, continued to make stunt films ! One wonders why at all they separated then !

The film had music by the Wadia favourite – S.N.Tripathi, who also expertly acted as Hanuman in such films. The cast of the film included Meena Kumari, Mahipal, Niranjan Sharma (a fixed actor as Ravan in every Wadia film), S.N.Tripathi, Dalpat, H. Prakash, Amarnath, Rajni (daughter of Bhudo Advani’s brother) and many others. The 4 Lyricists of the film wrote 8 songs.

Today’s song is from a social film Hum Ek Hain-1969.

There were 3 films having this same title. They were made in 1946, 1969 and 1982. Like the same name confusion of artists, even the film titles of same name can cause confusion. This can be seen clearly if you see such films’ songs on Youtube. Well known music company SAREGAMA is well known for such confusion. When I was searching for a song from today’s film, I found a song, but it was labelled as from the film Hum Ek Hain-1946. Even photos from the 1946 film of the same title were shown on the song audio. Since the song’s mukhada and the singers’ names were as mentioned in HFGK for the 1969 song, I heard the entire song and confirmed from the lyrics that actually it was from the film Hum ek hain-1969.

This is the reason I tell people to ensure mentioning the correct year of the film along with the title, to avoid such confusion.

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).
