Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 46
——————————————————–

I take it as a privilege to present the 100th song of a low profile music director who was very active during 1937-1948 though his musical career in films extended till 1965. I have described him as a low profile music director because he and his music has rarely been discussed in articles and books pertaining to Hindi film music. Even Dr Ashok Da Ranade, in his book ‘Hindi Film Song – Music Beyond Boundary’ has not found it necessary to discuss the technicalities of his musical scores who was music director for 58 films aggregating over 600 songs. The music director under discussion is Gyan Dutt.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 44
——————————————
The moment the film PEHLI NAZAR (1945) is mentioned, the first name associated with the movie that comes to my mind is Mukesh. His song “dil jaltaa hai to jalne de” quickly acquired an iconic status. The song has some interesting anecdotes too which have been discussed elsewhere in the Blog. The other details of the film such as Mazhar Arts banner, theme of Muslim social background, the director, the cast, lyricist and the music director come to my mind later.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 25
———————————————————

The box office success of the first muslim social film ‘Qaidi’ (1940) produced under the banner of Film Corporation of India (Calcutta), led to the production of a spate of muslim social films like ‘Najma’ (1943), ‘Ismat’ (1944), ‘Phool’ (1945), ‘Pehli Nazar’ (1945), ‘Zeenat’ (1945), ‘Nek Parvin’ (1946) and many more. GHAZAL (1945) was a muslim social film with a light comedy touch, produced and directed by Zahoor Raja under the banner of Raja Movietone. The star cast included N Charlie, Leela Chitnis, Zahoor Raja, Radha Rani, Nagendra Majumdar, Razia Bano, Ram Piyari, Shakir, Jahangir, Noor jahan etc. It appears that Leela Chitnis was paired with N Charlie and Zahoor Raja with Radha Rani in this movie.

During my routine searching of songs online I came across this film title ‘Dhamki-1945’. And since there had been a film with this same title in 1973 which has already made an entry on the blog, this falls under one of my activities of bringing ‘films with similar titles’ to the blog (so far for the films released before 1980).
