Today’s song is from the film Aahuti-1950.
This unknown film was made by Sansar Movietone, Bombay. Produced by L.Shankar, it was directed by Kulbhushan. The story, screenplay and the dialogues were by a team of H.C.Jaiswal, G.Saran and L.Shankar. The music for the 12 songs of the film was given by D.C.Dutt. There is not much information available about D.C.Dutta, not even what the initials D.C. stand for.
All of us know that Lata Mangeshkar had to struggle very hard in her initial attempts to get into Playback singing in Hindi films. In her early struggle, 3 Duttas helped her. The first was of course Datta Davjekar who gave her the first opportunity to sing a Playback song for his film Aapki sewa mein-1947. The second was K.Datta or Datta Korgaonkar, who, after his favourite singer Noorjehan left India, took Lata under his wings and gave her songs. The third Dutta was this-D.C.Dutt. No information is available about him whatsoever, except what is printed in HFGK and its duplication in Pankaj Raag’s book “Dhunon ki Yatra”. Thanks to this, we know that his debut was through the film Sona Chandi-1946. Out of 12 songs of the film, only two were his and one of them was by Lata Mangeshkar.

I cannot but help notice that the festivals of Holi and Deepawali are almost diametrically opposite to each other. They fall six months apart. Holi is observed on Poornima. Deepawali is observed on Amawasya. Holi is celebrated in day time (mostly first half of the day). Deepawali is celebrated at night time. On the day of Holi, roads are deserted. Public transport services that are usually jam packed run empty on this day. During Deepawali, public transport services run overbooked and there is no way one can get accomodation on trains on this day.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
The biggest festival of our country ‘Diwaalee’ is here and people all over, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and class, are celebrating this festival. However, life is not the same for all (just like ‘kabhee dhoop kabhee chhaaon’). The migrant labors working away from homes and families wait whole year for this festival to visit their homes. Relatives of such peoples await them to celebrate the festival together. I too have gone through similar situations in my working life (But those details are not the part of this post today.)
Life is hard and life is not the same for all. For some it is a happy diwaalee and for some it might be ‘sad diwaalee’ too. Still, we have to keep our morale high and not give up hope.
