Today’s song is from a debut making film ‘Ek Aurat’ from 1948.

This is one of those 206 films made between 1931 to 2012, whose title started with the word ‘EK’ – the most favourite prefix of the filmmakers. Out of these 206 films, 32 films started with ‘Ek Aur. . .’. Just a trivia !

When we discuss songs in the blog, sometimes they are accompanied by statistics. We can notice that discussions sometimes become clearer when we deal objectively (in numbers )rather than subjectively(using adjectives). We can give the facts, let the readers can judge for themselves.

Today’s song is from Raj Kapoor’s flop film Baawra-1950.

When I started collecting information on this film, I got a Zero at every attempt that I made to get its story. Disappointed, I left that point and wanted to know more about the film’s director G. Rakesh -a name I had never heard in the last many years. I was wondering that a film of Raj Kapoor and an unknown director ? कुछ तो गडबड है !

When we discuss songs of 1930s and 1940s, we tend to think that those days that are now 80 to 90 years behind us were similar to present days, as far as listening to songs was concerned. This assumption is highly incorrect. Today everyone is able to listen to any song that is available online. Those days technology was far less advanced. Forget internet, even Radio and TV were in their infancy. Record players and movies were the only means to listening to songs. Record players were very expensive. Only rich people could afford them. Even Radio was expensive. Even if Radio was there, there were very few Radio stations that played film songs. For majority of people, visiting movie halls may have been the only way they would be ale to listen to a song. If the movie was a hit movie, then getting entry into the movie hall was a tall order. One needed to brave big crowd and somehow jostle one’s way to the ticket counter and shove one’s hand, with money in it, inside the round counter measuring less than six inch in diameter and tell the counter clerk how many ticket you required.
