Today’s song is from the film Das Baje-1942.

The year 1942 was an eventful year for the Hindi cinema industry. The age old studio system had started crumbling and clever and ambitious directors started leaving studios to establish their own set up. Among these, the prominent were a group of disgruntled and dissatisfied artiates from Bombay Talkies, consisting of S. Mukherjee, Rai8bahadur Chunilal, Ashok Kumar, Sawak Wachha etc, who left and established a new entity named Filmistan. Then there were Mehboob Khan, A.R.kardar, V.Shantaram with their loyalists, Homi Wadia who left their parent studios and made new beginnings with their own studios. New Theatre, Calcutta lost Debki bose, P.C.barua, K.L.Saigal, K.N.Singh, Kidar Sharma etc.

Today’s song is from an obscure film of 1942 – ‘Nari’. It was made by Venus Pictures, Bombay and was directed by Raja Yadnik. I have no information about this director, except that he had directed 13 films – from ‘Magic Horse’ (1935) to ‘Anarbala’ (1961), averaging 1 film every 2 years ! From his list I find that none of his films were popular or a hit film. The music for the film ‘Nari’ was given by H.C. aka Harishchandra Bali.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Charanghee’ (1942). It is a very special film in the Indian Film Industry because this was the only film in which the National Poet of Bangladesh – Kazi Najrul Islam wrote some songs and also gave music.

This is a special flm also because it was a debut film not only for Kazi Najrul Islam but also for music director Pt. Hanuman Prasad and for the director of the film – Sibtain Fazli (of the Fazli Bros.- pioneers of Muslim social films in India).

Today’s song is from the film Phir Milenge-1942.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone. In 1942, WWII was on its peak. Till that time, the Germans were on the attack, but from 1942 onwards, their decline had started and by 1945 end, both Japan and Germany had lost the war and surrendered to the Allies. However, the damage caused by the war situation continued for a few more years and like all other industries the film industry too took time to normalise its set up.
