#the Decade of Fourties – 1941 – 1950 #

Regulars on the blog are well aware that I have been sharing songs sung by Sulochana Kadam for a long time. Our blog statistics page does not mention the total number of songs sung by her. I guess that the correct figure is yet to be confirmed. However we have so far covered more than one hundred songs sung by her. I have noted that coverage of her song has slowed down after her century of songs was reached in the blog.

I am on the look out for songs sung by her that are not yet covered on this blog. Today I came across this song which was for long considered as a lost song. However, a music lover has uploaded this song on internet. It is from the movie ‘Krishna Sudaama-1947’.

R.C.Talwar aka Raghubir Chand Talwar was born on 21-4-1910,at Tollygunge,in Western Punjab-now in Pakistan. His film life, as many others of his ilk, started in Calcutta and ended in Bombay. While at Calcutta, he worked as an assistant to Kidar Sharma. After the success of the film, Aulad / Dil Hi Toh Hai (1939) , the film’s heroine Ramola got romantically involved with R.C. Talwar, Kidar Sharma’s assistant who later became a director in his own right. According to Kidar Sharma, “R.C. Talwar was a classmate and friend so I ignored his relationship with Ramola.”

He was a screenplay writer, producer and Director.Starting from Manchali-43,produced by Talwar productions,Calcutta,which he had established there,Talwar directed films like Albeli, Khiladi, Sangdil, Ilzam, Rukhsana, Memsahib, Ek dil sau afsane and Naya Kanoon-1965.He produced 2 films,Sangdil and Memsahib-for which he had written the screenplay also.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #

Today’s song is from the year 1947. I had once taken up the task of sharing songs from this year. The undiscovered musical treasures from this year fascinate me because of the importance of this year when India achieved its freedom. Our inhouse encylopeadia Shree Arunkumar jee has informed us repeatedly that this year held the record for maximum Hindi movies released till that time. This information is another reason why I became interested in trying to find all the available songs from movies of 1947 that are not yet represented in the blog. In the process, I hope to gather more information about the movies and songs of 1947.
