After the introduction of playback singing system in Hindi films around 1935, many accredited singers from All India Radio (AIR), especially from Bombay (Mumbai), Lahore, Calcutta (Kolkata), Delhi, Lucknow/Kanpur etc got opportunities as playback singers in Hindi films. Apart from the popularity they got from the songs they sang for the films, the remuneration they received from playback singing was much higher than the fees they got from AIR.

Today’s song is from the film Aaj aur Kal (1947).

This was actually an unique film having an unusual storyline in which was shown a City Of Future i.e. a city of the year 2047 ! Hindi film industry is not known to make films based on scientific or science fiction stories. 99.99 % filmmakers did not dare make such films for fear of losing money if the film fails. However, its not that such films were not made at all, but their number would not fill even the number of fingers on both hands !

Today’s song is from the film ‘Samaj Ko Badal Dalo’ (1947).

1947 was an year when it was known to everyone in India that their country is going to be divided on the basis of religion and a new entity – Pakistan will be carved out of this nation.The people had no choice and this was accepted by everyone as inevitable. What next? This question was solved partly, unknown to the common man, by the Hindi film makers. In the few succeeding years many films were made on the Independence struggle as well as films stressing the need to revive and consolidate the social structure of India by strengthening the joint family tradition, raising voice against the unjust and antisocial customs and the need to honor the elders of the family.

Today’s song is a traditional bhajan from a Mythological film Shabri-1947.

This was a Mythological film, the story of which we all know since our childhood. This was a film made in Calcutta by Rajeshwari Kala Mandir. The film was directed by R.C.Deepak. He seems to be a “One film wonder” in direction. Lyricists names are not mentioned in HFGK or internet. The Music Director was Pt. Ganapat Rao. There are 12 songs, but details of only 3 songs (including one two sided song sung by Jaganmoy Mitra aka Jagmohan Sursagar) are available. The cast of the film was Molina, Gopal Mehra, Biman Banerjee, Kishore, Premkumari, Beena, Preetidhara and Sunder singh. All these, except Sunder, look like Bangla artistes, for whom information is difficult to collate, barring Molina.
