Today’s song is from a social film- Adab Arz-1943. I really wonder why this title was given to this film. At the first glance, one feels that it must be a muslim Social film, but it was not so. In fact there is nothing in this film’s story to justify this title. Clearly, it is a misleading title. And for this, the makers of the film suffered too, as the film was a clear flop.

Today’s song is the last and final song from a not so well known, but deserving film – Saudamini (1950).

In Hindi (and in almost all Indian languages) films, well known and popular dramas, Novels, Stories and the famous writers have played a significant role in providing material to make logical and meaningful films with a message to the people or a particular society. I can say that films based on famous and popular writings have been made into more qualitative presentations than films on Folk stories and Historical Myths.

Today’s song is an Aarti of Bhagwan Shankar, from the film Vikramaditya-1945. Our friend Avinash Abhang (Scrapwala) ji has given me the song link and the detailed Lyrics of this Aarti. He has taken a lot of effort to meticulously write down the lyrics as it contained 3 voices of singers and chorus. In addition, it also has some difficult words which had to be noted carefully. I thank him profusely as he very kindly sent this to me, knowing that I am a Shiv- Bhakta. May Lord Shiv ji Bless him !

Vikramaditya (1945) is a Hindi historical drama directed by Vijay Bhatt under the Prakash Pictures banner. The film stars legendary actor Prithviraj Kapoor in the title role of King Vikramaditya of Avanti, Prem Adib as the court poet Mahakavi Kalidas, and Ratnamala as Princess Shrilekha, along with other artistes like Ranjana, Zillobai, Bhagwandas and Baburao Pendharkar etc etc. All the 9 songs were written by Ramesh Gupta and the music was by the in-house Music Director of Prakash Pictures- Shankar Rao Vyas. he film was directed by Vijay Bhatt.
