I have been discussing the songs of “Kashinath”(1943) for the last few days. Full and accurate information about the songs of this movie are not available. When I searched for information about the movie and its songs online, I found that the information was grossly incorrect vis a vis name of singers, names of actors playing various roles in the movie etc.

Chaandni raaten – song no. 14
———————————
In one of the earlier posts in this series, I mixed up two songs ‘aadha hai chandrama raat aadhi’ and ‘chal jaa re hat natkhat’. There was more than one regulars on the blog who volunteered with the correction. It is a good sign, that small talk that I make in my posts are being read at least. 🙂 The comments containing additional information about the movie, lyricist and words of appreciation are motivating, even if not always replied to individually.

LOST AND FOUND- GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS….Song No. 2
————————————————————-
When we say ‘Unreleased’ film, it includes films which remained incomplete, films which did not reach the stage of getting censored and films which got censored but were not released in Theatres. To get songs from such films is a difficult task. Luckily, there are some generous minded Record Collectors in India (shri Giridharilal ji Vishwakarma ji) and Pakistan (Janab Shalin Bhatt ji),who upload some gems from unreleased films.

LOST AND FOUND-GEMS FROM UNRELEASED FILMS……Song No. 1
———————————————————-
From 1931 to 2010, a total of 11,150 Talkie films were censored. Once the film gets censored, it is free to be released. However,no one really knows how many films do not reach even the censors. I mean, films get started with very good intentions, but one can not predict whether the film will be completed, censored and released. There are several films which do not reach the theatres.

The association of Pankaj Babu and RC Boral starts from their coming together as artists and producers at Calcutta Radio. No specific dates are available, but the expected period is the second half of the 1920s. This period also coincides with the prime of the silent films in India. Calcutta had become a main production center. Being recognized as music directors at Radio Calcutta, it was natural for RC Boral and Pankaj Mullick to be called upon for creating the orchestral music for silent films. In the days of soundless films, the music and sound effects were presented live in the theatre, using a live orchestra. What we recognize as background music today, was very much a ‘foreground’ entity in those years. The mood and the action on screen, was duly accompanied by live music that was played by the orchestra sitting just below and front of the screen. Probably no recordings of such musical works were made, else that in itself would have been a very valuable treasure for lovers of film music. wo films from 1931 are identified as the ones for which this pair had prepared the orchestral ‘foreground’ music. Produced by International Filmcraft, the title of the films are ‘Chesher Maye’ (‘चेशेर मेय’) and ‘Chorkanta’.
