Today’s song is from an 85 year old film- Paak Daman-1940.
The year 1940 was the end of the first decade of Talkie films. From 1931 to 1939 most of the film music was made and sung by people who were experts in Classical Music. Classical music has never been the area of common people. It was born in Temples and nurtured in the Darbars of Kings and Nawabs. When film music relied heavily on classical mode, it became an imposition on the masses. Luckily, from the last 2 years of the 30’s, film music started changing and the emphasis shifted to traditional and Folk tunes over the classical.

Today’s song is from a 85 year old film Haar jeet-1940.
I find so many similar film titles in the film index that sometimes I feel like taking up this issue also as a “Same title Confusions” problem. Luckily there is one trick to clarify among these similar titles and that is its year of making ! Therefore it is necessary that whenever a film is mentioned, its year must also be mentioned to avoid the possible ‘Same Title Confusion’ ! There were 4 films of this title made in 1940, 1954, 1972 and 1990. In addition, I also found 2 more Har jeet films which were left incomplete.
1940 was a period when New Theatres, the makers of Haar jeet-1940, were in top speed and in its Golden period. The film was directed by Amar Mullick. Music was by R.C.Boral-considered as the ‘Grand Old man’ of film music in India. His contribution to the film industry is unforgettable.

Today’s song is from the film Holi-1940.
The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. The director was A.R.Kardar and the Music was by Khemchand Prakash, who had taken over from Gyan Dutt in the beginning of 1940. The first paid composer of Ranjit was Gyan Dutt from 1937 to 1940. In this period he gave music to 15 films. Khemchand Prakash gave music to 20 films in his period from 1940 to 1945, when Bulo C Rani took over in 1945 onwards. The film cast included Motilal, Ishwarlal,Keshavrao Datey, Lala yakub, Mirza Musharraf, Khursheed, Sitara, Tarabai, Dikshit and Ghori and many others. Actually the major stars of this film , Motilal, Ishwarlal, Sitara and Khursheed were all well known singers. However it was strange that Ishwar lal sang in the voice of Kantilal and Khursheed got the playback of Kalyani in this film, without getting a single song for themself.
