Today’s song is from the film Sipahiya-1949.
When India got independence in 1947 and the British Rule ended, the Indian public breathed a sigh of relief. Especially, the film industry felt like coming out of a prison. During British rule, there were so many restrictions, specially during the war period, on the filmmaking – like, you can’t show the British in bad light, you can’t speak about Independence openly, you can’t criticise Government policies etc etc. Even the wordings of songs and dialogues were under a sharp lens. The best example of this oppression was the song in the film ” Kismet”-1943, ‘Aaj Himalay ki choti se ‘ written by Kavi Pradeep. He had to go underground to avoid arrest for this song !

Today’s song is from the film Aahuti-1950.
I have not seen this film and I could not get any details of this film like its story etc from any source, so I do not know what kind of ‘ sacrifice ‘(aahuti) this film was about. From some of the songs, this film Aahuti aka Anokhi qurbani seems to be a film about Independence struggle or on conditions soon after India’s independence. This also looks like having a love story in the background.

Today’s song is from the historic film Prithvi Vallabh-1943.
This is a real Historic story on which there was also a Silent movie “Prithvi Vallabh aka The Lord of Love and Power”, made by Ashoka Pictures, Baroda (Gujarat) in 1925. Its story was the same as today’s film. The film was important because India’s first woman Director and Producer Fatima Begum had acted in it, along with 2 of her 3 daughters-Zubeida and Sultana. Zubeida went on to become the Heroine of India’s first Talkie film Aalam Ara-1931. After 18 years of the silent movie, Sohrab Modi’s Minerva Movietone made this film again in 1943.

Today’s song is from the film Aaj aur Kal (1947).
This was actually an unique film having an unusual storyline in which was shown a City Of Future i.e. a city of the year 2047 ! Hindi film industry is not known to make films based on scientific or science fiction stories. 99.99 % filmmakers did not dare make such films for fear of losing money if the film fails. However, its not that such films were not made at all, but their number would not fill even the number of fingers on both hands !

Today’s song is from the film ‘Samaj Ko Badal Dalo’ (1947).
1947 was an year when it was known to everyone in India that their country is going to be divided on the basis of religion and a new entity – Pakistan will be carved out of this nation.The people had no choice and this was accepted by everyone as inevitable. What next? This question was solved partly, unknown to the common man, by the Hindi film makers. In the few succeeding years many films were made on the Independence struggle as well as films stressing the need to revive and consolidate the social structure of India by strengthening the joint family tradition, raising voice against the unjust and antisocial customs and the need to honor the elders of the family.
