Today’s song is a complete turn around for my style of writing on old films and music. It is like something “out of syllabus” for me ! Today’s song is from the film Chameli ki shaadi-1986. Usually, I restrict my choices between 30s to the 60s films. But there are some films made after 1970 ( and even some after 2000) which I liked very much. Chameli ki shaadi-1986 is one such film.

Actually I saw my last Hindi film in a theatre somewhere in the year 1975-76. After that I have not visited any Theatre. I have not seen any Multiplex from inside anytime. It does not mean that I stopped seeing films. In the 80s and 90s I saw films on my VCR and later on, on Television. As my age advanced, my patience receded and it was impossible for me to sit before a TV set for 4 hours to watch a movie of 2 1/2 hours and advertisements of 1 1/2 hours. In any case after the year 2000 the kind of films made were certainly not to my taste and I stopped seeing films completely, with some exceptions.

“Mahua” (1969) was produced, directed and written by Bibhuti Mitra. The movie had Shiv Kumar, Anjana Manjrekar aka Anjana Mumtaz, Premnath, Farah, Asit Sen, Aruna Irani, Murad,Jankidas, Ulhas, Badri Prasad etc in it.

“Mahua” (1969) had eight sonfs in it. Five songs have been covered in the blog. The fifth song was covered in the blog in 2014 after that there has been a break of more than 11 years when songs of this movie have not been taken up for discussion.

Here is the sixth song from “Mahua” (1969) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Qamar Jalalabadi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Sonik Omi.

The song is picturised as a “remonstrating with the Almighty” song on Anjana Manjrekar (later Anjana Mumtaz) while her beloved Shiv Kumar is thrown to the lions, like how it used to be done in ancient Rome. While Anjana is singing the song shaming the Almighty if HE does not pay heed, Shiv Kumar is wrestling with a lion. as the song ends, Shiv Kumar emerges victorious over the lion. 🙂 It shows that singing “remontrating with the Almighty” song used to bear fruits in Hindi movies of yore ! 🙂


Song-Pyaar mera jo toone lootaa (Mahua)(1969) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyricist-Qamar Jalalabadi, MD-Sonik Omi

Lyrics

Bhagwan
Bhagwan
Bhagwan
pyaar mera jo toone loota
samjhoongee Bhagwan hai jhootha
sabko naach nachaane waale
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
bhagwan

ek thhee bavula naaree
toone uska lachhindar de hee diya
saccha Savitri ka pyaar thha
usne Yam se piya ko to le hee liya
pyaar saccha mera
de raha hai sada
ise chheenega kaise tu
soch le
ye to mera satyawan hai
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
pyaar mera jo toone loota
samjhoongee Bhagwan hai jhootha
sabko naach nachaane waale
soch le
aaj tera imtahaan hai
Bhagwan

ansuya thhee prem pyaasee
rogee pritam ko usne bacha hee liya
Sita thhee Raghuwar kee pyaaree
usne Raavan se aanchal chhuda hee liya
dekh le bhar gaya ab ghada paap ka
paapee Raavan kee shakti ko noch le
tu to sarv shaktiman hai
paapee Raavan kee shakti ko noch le
tu to sarv shaktiman hai
Bhagwan
Bhagwan
Bhagwan

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————

The song in this post is from an eighty-four year old movie ‘Shobha-1942’. Music for this movie was composed by Vasant Desai. When I saw that only one song from this movie have been posted on this blog so far, it piqued my interest to look for other songs from this movie. The other reason is the composer i.e. Vasant Desai. I love his music and there are many songs composed by him which I like very much. So, today I am presenting the second song from this movie ‘Shobha-1942’.

This movie ‘Shobha-1942’ was directed by Kumarsen Samarth for ‘Wadia Movietone, Bombay’. It was a ‘social movie’. The cast of this movie had Shobhna Samarth, Shahu Modak, Kusum Deshpande, Karan Deewan, Sulochana Chatterjee, Vimal Sardesai, David, Jaal Khambhata, Putlibai, Master Chhotu and others.

‘Shobha-1942’ has six songs as listed in Geet Kosh Vol-II (1941-1950). Pandit Indra is the lyricist for all the six songs. In Geet Kosh the name of playback singers for this movie are mentioned as Shobhna Samarth, Shahu Modak, and Miss Kalyani. However while presenting the first song from this movie on the blog our inhouse encylopeadia Shree Arunkumar jee has mentioned that the songs mentioned as sung by Shobhna Samarth are in fact in the voice of Saraswati Rane. Here is what he has mentioned in the post with the song ‘uhoon-uhoon-shikaari-na-khel’…

Film Shobha was a Wadia Movietone presentation. It was directed by Kumarsen Samarth, husband of Shobhana Samarth. The Lyricist was Indra and the composer was Vasant Desai. The film had 6 songs. With today’s song, film Shobha is making a Debut here. As per HFGK, 3 songs are sung by Shobhana Samarth, because on the record, her name is printed, but Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji has confirmed that these songs are sung by Saraswati Rane. In the discography of Saraswati Rane also these songs feature.

(Shree Arunkumar jee has also gave the story of this movie in his post above. However I am not reproducing that here. Readers can read this interesting post here )

Today we are going to listen to the second song from this movie which is in the voice of Miss Kalyani. It is a song of ‘after effects or side effects of falling in love’ :). Lyrics are by Pandit Indra Chandra and music is composed by the great composer Vasant Desai.

Let us listen to this song now …


Song-Wo dil mein humko yaad karen (Shobha)(1942) Singer-Miss Kalyani, Lyricist-Pt Indra Chandra, MD-Vasant Desai

Lyrics

wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
ham roothhen to wo paanv paden
ham roothhen to wo paanv paden
wo roothhen to ham sharmaayen
wo roothhen to ham sharmaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen

dil behlaane ke mauke hain
milne ke meethhe mausam hain
dil behlaane ke mauke hain
milne ke meethhe mausam hain
hamko din mein sapne aayen
ae ae ae
hey hey hey
hamko din mein sapne aayen
aur sapnon mein wo chhaa jaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen

Today’s song is from an obscure film, but it is a special song because it is a duet sung by Meena Kumari – The Tragedy Queen – and A.R.Oza.

This Ranjit Movietone film was directed by Manibhai Vyas (27-4-1920 to 14-11-1993), who directed 20 Hindi films from film Dukhiyari-1937 to film Shri Krishna Bhakti-1973. The music was by Bulo C. Rani for songs written by Pt. Indra. The cast of the film was Khurshid Jr., Meena Kumari, Anjum, Nihal, Qamar, Shaikh Hasan, Nafeej Khalili etc. Except the 2 sisters i.e. Khurshid Jr. and Meena Kumari, I am not aware of any other cast members mentioned here. None of them are found in any other films. There were 11 songs and some of the singers like Savitri Gidwani, Chunilal Pardeshi are not known to me. Others like Mohd. Faruqi and A.R.Oza are atleast known to me.

Despite being known to be a writer on old films for the last 14 years, such unknown names give me an Inferiority Complex and a feeling that no one can know everything in any field, which makes the person humble too !
