Atul’s Song A Day- A choice collection of Hindi Film & Non-Film Songs

Archive for the ‘Songs of 1940s (1941 to 1950)’ Category

When I listened to “Puraani Filmon Ke Geet” programme of Radio Ceylon in 1970s between 7-30 AM to 8 AM, the last song of the programme was reserved for K L Saigal. Now that I think about it, there were a few standard K L Saigal songs that were recycled repeatedly in this programme. I have a feeling that all the K L Saigal songs that were played in that programme have been covered in this blog. I am now in fact covering those K L Saigal songs that are lesser known and which were rarely played in the above mentioned programme .

When I was young, listening to songs on radio (and specially on Radio Ceylon) was a much looked forward to activity by younsters and grown ups alike. Like always, parents frowned on this activity, because in their opinion, kids should concentrate on their studies, instead of such morally corrupt activities like watching movies and listening to their music. 🙂

“Zameendaar” (1942) is a movie that was produced far far back in time. One can notice that this movie was produced in the year when Indians passed the Quit India resolution against their British rulers. Yes, this movie goes that far back in Indian history.

“Kaneez” (1949) is a movie that had actors like Munawwar Sultana, Kuldip Kaur, Khwaja Sabir, Shyam, Sinha etc in it. Most actors of this movie hardly ring any bells for me. The songs of this movie are also not all that well known nowadays, but the songs are lovely to listen to. This movie has songs by singers other than the usual names and that makes for a refreshing change.

I have discussed one song from “Mirza Sahiban”(1947) in the past. considering that this is one of the four major tradional Punjabi tragic love stories, one would normally expect to have love songs (tragic or otherwise) in a movie like this. So I am pleasantly suprised to find that this movie has a light hearted song as well.
