During 1930s and 1940s, when India was a desperately poor country, literacy level was very low. Even males were largely unlettered. The less said about the literacy of women, the better. So under those circumstances, an educated woman, who was also a workng woman, was a source of great curiousity among common folk. One can imagine how it must be like in 1940s. Basic literacy is one thing. To become educated in the medical field was obviously way tougher.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 27
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Haan ji, yes. Reuse of songs in Hindi films goes back a long way. I had no inkling of this particular episode that goes back all the way to 1944. A very dear friend, Anoop ji Gadodia, pointed it out to me recently.
We have earlier presented songs of 30s, which have been used in later films. Examples are “Ik Bangla Bane Nyaara” – a song from the 1937 film ‘President’, which was later used in the film ‘Do Raaste’ of 1969. Then we have another song for the same year – “Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Hi Jaaye” from the film ‘Street Singer’, which has been reused in the 1973 film ‘Aavishkaar’. The thing to note is that both these reuse events occurred decades after the original song was released.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 40
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years back viz on 12 March 2013, eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Blog post number | Song | Movie (Year) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7658 | Kyun tumne hamko daraaya | Prem Sangeet (1943) | 4 songs covered out of 10 by now |
| 7659 | Raat ki malka ban thhan ke | Ismat(1944) | 3 songs covered out of 7 by now |
| 7660 | Preet ki jyot jalaakar chup hai | Vishkanya(1943) | 7 songs covered out of 12 by now |
| 7661 | Chaand mera baadalon mein kho gaya | Pathan (1962) | 4 songs covered out of 7 by now |
| 7662 | Raja haweli ki khidki zara kholna re | Veer Rajputaani(1955) | 5 songs covered out of 9 by now |
| 7663 | Assalaam aalekum baabu | Kalpana(1960) | 6 songs covered out of 10 by now |
| 7664 | Aayegaa kaun yahaan | Gumnaam (1965) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 7665 | Meri patni mujhe sataati hai | Pati Patni(1966) | movie YIPPEED by now |
It can be noticed that two movies (out of eight movies) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 12 March 2013) have since been YIPPEED on the blog. That leaves us with six movies that are still unYIPPEED and therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (12 March 2023).

Today’s song is from a stunt film – Bahadur-1944. This was one of those ordinary films made by Jagriti Pictures, Bombay, owned by Master Bhagwan. The film was also directed by Bhagwan and the film’s music was provided by his friend C.Ramchandra with an alias Ram Chitalkar. The Lyricist was Ehsan Rizvi and the cast of the films was Baburao Pehelwan, Bhagwan, Shanta Patel, Samson, Bhagwandas, yeshwant, Bibi, Surekha and Nirasha (what a name ! Her parents must have expected a Boy baby and she was born, hence she must have been named as Nirasha. My intelligent guess !).

Today’s song is an ‘Unique and a Special’ duet from the film Parakh-1944.
Why and how this song is ‘Unique and Special’ will come later, but first let me point out another important matter. In recent times, in India, the women are better treated, respected and also honoured for their contribution to running the household as well as earning equally to manage the married life on level fields. Women can be seen practically in every field of activity and have reached the top of the work places in almost every sphere. We have seen them as President, Prime Minister of the country, In Judiciary, Banks and even in Armed forces-be it Army, Navy or Air Force, the police, sports etc. There is hardly any field where women have not put their stamp.

Today’s song is from the film Gaali-1944.
When I saw the title of this film, I was stunned. I could not ever imagine that such a movie title could be given. I was wondering as to what must be there in the movie- a Gaali competition between 2 groups or is it about a person who can not speak a single sentence without including a gaali in it ? I could not fathom a reason for titling a film like this. Later in the early 50’s, I got a chance to see this film and I was totally and completely disappointed. Even after seeing the film I did not get answers to my original question. The story of the film was meaningless indeed.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Daasi’ (1944).
The film was made by Pradhan Pictures, Lahore, and was directed by Hiren Bose. The music was by Pt. Amarnath Batish (to avoid ‘same name confusion‘ the other Music Director Pt. Amarnath Chawla, I am mentioning their surnames also). Funniest thing is Pradhan Pictures was owned by Sanjay Pradhan – a person from Orissa, Director hiren Bose was from Bengal and Pt. Amarnath, MD was from Punjab. They all came together in the most popular and beautiful city of those times ‘Lahore’, to make a film which became a hit, mostly because of its music.

Today’s song is from the film Kismatwala-1944.
There was another film with the same Title in 1986. Additionally, there came a film ‘Kismatwali’ in 1947. Thank God, filmmakers did not think of Kismat Wale ka Beta or Beti or Son of Kismat Wali or some other relatives ! The title Kismat was used for films 6 times-in 1943, 56, 68, 80, 95 and 2004. Titles having the word kismat were there in 12 movies from 1935 to 2012. Considering all Kismat titles, every 4 years there was a film having the word Kismat in its title !
