Today’s song is from the film Maa Baap ki Laaj-1946.
1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.

Today’s song is from the film Panna Dai-1945.
The film was based on a story of Loyalty and glorious sacrifice, having a special place in Indian History. I wonder how the Producer selected the story of Indian sacrifice, when the trend was to make films on the falsely glorified bravery and good qualities of Mughal Kings ! It is a sad reflection that the choice mostly went in favour of the laurels of Mughals and the invaders of India rather than the builders and protectors of India. The ratio of Historical films was perhaps 70:30, in favour of the Mughals and other outsiders, compared to India’s own Heroes. Regional films from Maharashtra, Andhra, Tamilnadu, Karnatak, Orissa and Bengal were much better than the Hindi films on this count.
