Today’s song is from a Costume imaginary film Gul Bakawali-1947.
The year 1947 is a reminder not only for the Independence of India, but also for the upheaval that took place in the film industry that time. More than in any other industry in India, Muslims were plentiful, working in different sections and departments of the Hindi film industry. Majority of them migrated to the newly formed Muslim Nation of Pakistan. This did create a lot of disturbance in the film industry. Right from the beginning of 1947, there were signs that soon the British would leave India – after dividing it into two Nations, India and Pakistan. When the month and date became known for the Partition, there was a great hurry among the filmmakers to complete their projects on hand and in process, compromising many factors like quality of the film, number of songs and such other things.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #

Regulars on this blog must have already noticed that nowadays I have been regularly sharing older songs. I had started as a fan and contributor of songs from the seventies – to early eighties. But I like songs from earlier decades as well. But my exposure to songs of 1930s and 1940s may have been limited to the “puraani Filmon ke geet” programme of SLBC that was broadcast from 7:30 AM to 8 AM, ending with a K L Saigal song at the stroke of 8 AM. However thanks to this blog, now I have been listening to many many older songs and also sharing them here. Listening to these songs is always a pleasure.

Today’s song is a 2-part Triade from the film Panghat-1943.
From their initial C grade stunt /costume films, Prakash Pictures of Vijay and Shankar Bhatt turned to Mythological films after the mammoth success of Bharat Milap-1942 and occasionally made a few social films too. In the end Prakash made exclusively social films only till closing down the studio in 1971. In their busy times in the first half of the 1940s, they made today’s film as a quicky.The entire film was shot in 45 days. This was possible as they had taken mostly B grade artists who had plenty of free time for shootings.
Film Panghat-1943 was directed by K.J.Parmar and Mahesh Chander- both Cinematographers with Prakash Pictures.The music was by S.N.Tripathi, favourite of Prakash Pictures. The Lyricists were Pt. Indra and Ramesh Gupta. The cast included Ratnamala, Umakant, Susheel Kumar, Alaknanda, Jeevan, Leela pawar, Rajkumari Shukla, Baby Tara and many others.
