#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————
Regulars on this blog must have already noticed that nowadays I have been regularly sharing older songs. I had started as a fan and contributor of songs from the seventies – to early eighties’. But I like songs from earlier decades as well. But my exposure to songs of 1930s and 1940s may have been limited to the “puraani Filmon ke geet” programme of SLBC that was broadcast from 7:30 AM to 8 AM, ending with a K L Saigal song at the stroke of 8 AM. However thanks to this blog, now I have been listening to many many older songs and also sharing them here. Listening to these songs is always a pleasure.

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 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 !
