Here is the seventh song from the movie to appear in the blog.
This song is sung by Nirmala Devi. Lyricist is not mentioned in HFGK. Seeing that other songs in the movie were penned by Surjeet Sethi, Surjeet Sethi could well be the lyricist of this song as well. S Mohinder is the music director.
Only audio of the song is available. It is clear that the song was picturised on Nirmala devi herself.

“Veena”(1948) was directed by J P Advani for Jagat Pictures. The movie had Sulochana Chatterjee, Veera, Rehman, Hemavati, Leela Mishra, Girdhaari, Yakub etc in it.
“Veena”(1948) had 12 songs in it. Eleven songs have been covered in the blog.
Here are the details of the eleven songs that are already covered:-
| Blog post number | Song | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4485 | Wo teekhi nazron se mere dil par | Mukesh | 27 august 2011 |
| 7734 | Dard mandon ka jahaan mein aasra koi nahin | Ameerbai Karnataki | 22 March 2013 |

| 17761 | Chal tu preet nagariya raahee | Manna Dey | 17 May 2023 |
| 17766 | Ho o nirmohee bansi waale | Shamshad Begam | 19 May 2023 |
We can make some interesting observations about the songs of “Veena”(1948) covered so far in the blog:-
(1) Three male singers- Mukesh, C Ramchandra and Manna Dey and two female singers-Ameerbai Karnataki and Shamshad Begam were used in the songs.
(2) All the songs are solo songs.
(3) The movie made its debut in 2011. After a lull of nearly two years, five songs were covered in 2013. One song each got covered in 2014 and 2017 respectively.
(4) The last three songs have been covered in 2023.
(5) In 2013, there was a gap of 33 days between song number 2 (posted on 22 march 2013) and song number three (posted on 25 April 2013), but during these two dates 33 days apart, a whopping 241 songs got added in the blog at a rate of 7.3 songs daily !
(6) The breakup of songs are Shamshad Begam-5, Mukesh-3, Ameerbai Karnataki-1, C Ramchandra-1, Manna Dey-1)
The twelfth and final song of the movie too is a solo song. This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. That way, Shamshad Begam sang as many as seven solo songs in this movie.
Pt Narendra Sharma is the lyricist of this song. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that Shamshad Begam sang so may songs in the movie, she may have sung for the leading lady. So my guess is that this song was picturised on Sulochana Chatterjee. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
With this song, all the songs of “Veena”(1948) are covered in the blog. The movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

Today’s song is from a special film – Gunsundari-1948.
I call this film a ‘Special’ film because this is one film in which the simple story was so original, interesting and so much a representative of the changing times in the country that this story inspired films in almost every language in India from the late 1920’s decade till even today (albeit in modern avatar !).
Chandulal Shah (later owner of Ranjit Studios), had first directed this silent movie GUNSUNDARI, in 1927, on his own story, under the banner of Kohinoor film company,Bombay. Even in those days it was a popular film.
After Talkie films started and Chandulal Shah had established his own studio-in partnership with Gauharjan Mamajiwala, a Heroine of several of his films and his consort for the next 40 years, he remade the film GUNSUNDARI once again in 1934. The cast of the 1934 film was the same as the 1927 silent film, namely Gauhar, Raja Sandow, Rampyari, R N Vaidya etc. Somehow Chandulal Shah had been fascinated by the film’s story.
After Ranjit studio and Sardar Chandulal Shah were in financial crisis (having lost 1 cr 25 lakhs in cotton trading, in one single day) and most of their properties were mortgaged, Producer Director Ratibhai Hemchander Punatar-who was Chandulal’s sister’s son and his chela, decided to make film Gunsundari once again. This time the film was made in Gujarati and Hindi simultaneously. The year was 1947. Due to partition etc the film was delayed and was released only in 1948.
Ratibhai had selected Kokila Balsara aka Nirupa Roy as the new heroine. After the shooting started, she was signed by Chandulal Shah for Ranjit’s film ” Lakhon mein Ek”. Since Gunsundari was delayed, “Lakhon mein Ek-1947″ got released first and it became Nirupa Roy’s FIRST Hindi film as a Heroine.
I remember having seen the film GUNSUNDARI-1948 sometime in the early 50s. The story was indeed very interesting for those times. A village simple girl is married to a modern type educated rich boy. He does not like this uneducated ‘gaon ki gori’ and he abandons her. The story is about how the girl gets educated and learns all modern things, yet impresses her in-laws with her traditional ways(unknown to the husband) and how she wins him back successfully. After the interval, the theatre used to vibrate with the clapping of the audience on every success of Gunsundari with her family and the husband.
Later on, as is the practice of Hindi film Industry, this theme was used in umpteen number of Hindi and various regional languages over a time.
This was also the First film of Nirupa Roy and Manhar Desai ( who was originally from a Goan family settled in Ahmedabad and his name was Malcolm Alfredo D’souza-a converted Christian). Later this pair starred in many Hindi and Gujarati films.
The director of this film was Ratibhai Punatar. He directed only 6 Hindi films – Gunsundari-48, Nanad Bhojai-48, Nili-50,Mann ka meet-50, Bahadur-53 and Daughter of Sindbad-58. He also directed 5 Gujarati films-all blockbusters and grossers. The Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema says about him…..Ratilal Hemchand Punatar (b. 1913) Gujarati-Hindi director aka Ratibhai Punatar. Born in Jamnagar, Gujarat. Production manager at Ranjit. Directorial début when, following the spectacular success of Ranakdevi (1946), Ranjit started subsidiary Ajit Pics to exploit the interest in Gujarati films. First major film, Gunsundari, remade Chandulal Shah’s pathbreaking silent film and remains, with Mehndi Rang Lagyo (1960) and Jesal Toral (1971), one of the Gujarati cinema’s biggest hits, the first one to tap a substantial urban audience for a Gujarati cinema until then restricted to semi-urban B film circuits. Third film Mangal Phera was also very successful, and continued the Gunsundari and Nanand Bhojai theme of a crumbling joint-family system faced with the values of a mercantile economy. Also made films based on Prabhulal Dwivedi’s folk theatre (Gadano Bel) and on e.g. D.N. Madhok’s popular novels.
The film was made by Ajit Pictures, Bombay- a subsidiary floated by Ranjit Movietone to exploit Gujarati film business. The cast of the film was Nirupa Roy, Manhar Desai, Dulari, Nazira, Ibrahim and many others. While this was Nirupa Ro’s first Hindi film as a Heroine, for Manhar Desai it was also his just the second film, the first being a C grade stunt film Toofani Sawar-1947, made by his classmate in Wilson College, Bombay N.C.Pandey.
Manhar Desai was a Gujarati Christian-real name Malcolm Alfredo D’souza. He was born on 3-8-1917. He used to stammer when he was a boy. He used to act and sing in dramas and due to his stammering style, he was very popular on stage. After completing High school, he ran away to Bombay to join Films, but could not even enter any studio, Disappointed, he returned to his home and restarted studies. He became normal with treatment. He joined Wilson college in Bombay for graduation. In college he started acting and singing on stage. He had a friend N.C.Pandey, who was also mad after films. He promised Manhar that if he becomes a Director, he will make Manhar a Hero. While in college Manhar married his classmate, who was from U.P.
In 1947, Manhar got a call from his friend N.C.Pandey, who was to direct a Hindi film. He made Manhar the Hero of this film and thus fulfilled his promise. Toofani Sawar-47 was the first film of Manhar Desai, in Hindi. He was invited to work in the film Gunsundari-48 ( Gujarati), opposite Nirupa Roy. The film was Hit and he acted in the next film Mangal Phera-49 with Nirupa Roy. This too became a Hit film in Gujarati and then there was no looking back. His next Hindi film was Madhosh-51 opposite Meena kumari. Following their success in Gujarati, Nirupa Roy and Manhar were paired in several Mythological films in Hindi. Films Naag Panchami-53 and Shivratri-54 made him a popular Hero in Hindi mythological films.
It is a coincidence that the Two film stars well known for Hindi Mythological films, namely Shahu Modak and Manhar Desai, both were Non Hindus and were Jew and Christian respectively.
Manhar Desai was fond of Reading. During breaks in shooting, he would catch up with his reading. He also was a good painter. Manhar worked in 106 Hindi films. His last film was Nal Damyanti-88. In the last phase of his career, he was disillusioned about working in films in this era, so he gave up working and retired. Manhar Desai died on 25-2-1992.
Today’s song is the 7th song from this film to feature here. It is sung by Ameerbai Karnataki and Chorus. Enjoy this melodious song composed by Avinash Vyas..

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.100
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (29 April 2013), six songs from six different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8001 | Mera husn lootne aayaa | Chandralekha (1948) | 8 songs covered out of 11 by now |
| 8002 | Chanda ki chaandni na suhaaye to kya karen | Duniya Ek Saraai (1947) | 5 songs out of 9 by now |
| 8003 | Tere saath chal rahe hain ye zameen ye chaand taare | Angaarey(1954) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 8004 | Itni si baat ka fasaana na banaao | Ek Ladki Saat Ladke(1961) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
| 8005 | Ham pe daya rakhna | Aas (1953) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song |
| 8006 | Jaa jaa jaa jaa tujhe ham jaan gaye | Sehraa (1963) | Movie YIPPEED by now |
We observe that four movies (out of six) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 29 April 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with two unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (29 April 2023).
“Chandralekha”(1948) is one BTYC eligible movie today.
“Chandralekha”(1948) was produced and directed by S S Vasan for Gemini Chitra, Madras. This blockbuster big budget movie had T.R.Rajkumari, M.K.Radha, Ranjan, Sundri Bai, Yashodra Katju, L.Narayan Rao, Subbayya Pillai, V.H.Janaki, H.Krishnamurthy, B.S.Kalla, A.K.Chopra, Sundar Rao, Varalakshmi etc in it.
“Chandralekha”(1948) had 11 songs in it. Eight songs have been covered in the blog by now.
Here is the ninth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by chorus. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by R Vaidhyanathan.
The song is played in the background as horse riding warriors are seen racing away towards somewhere (battlefield) in perfect formation, one after the other.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
This song is the 100th song in this year under the Blog Ten Year Challenge (2013-2023). We are still in on 29 April 2023. More than eight months are still left. Lots and lots of songs (1200 to be exact) were covered in the blog in 2013 between 30 April 2013 to 31 december 2013. Many of the movies of these songs are still unYIPPEED so we can hopefully have record number of songs under BTYC in this year, breaking previous year’s record of 140 songs set in BTYC (2012-2022).
This also happens to be the 100th post in the current month of April 2023. So we continue to live up to our new year resolution of posting 100 or more songs in each month in this year. Hopefully we will continue to stick to this resolution throughout the year and even beyond.

We observe that two movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 19 april 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. So we have six unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (19 April 2023).
That date ten years ago happened to be Ramnavami. On that occasion, a couple of Lord Ram related songs were covered from Lord Ram related movies. First movie was “Bharat Milaap” (1942) and second movie was “Jai Hanuman”(1948).
“Bharat Milaap” (1942) has already been taken up under BTYC earlier today. That leaves us with “Jai Hanuman”(1948) as the next Lord Ram related movie.
“Jai Hanuman”(1948) was directed by Ramchandra Thakur for Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This movie had Nirupa Roy, P.Kailash, Keshav Purohit, Babu Raje, S.N.Tripathi, Rajrani,Ramkumar, Chunnilal Nayak, Shyam, Kamlakant, Popat Lal, Sachin Ghosh, Pesi Patel, Vasant Rao, Tara Bai, B.Kumar, Daksha, Chatterjee, Kamlesh Thakkar, Inamdar, Shobha Thakkar etc in it.
This movie had 12 songs in it. Two songs, both Lord Ram related, have been covered in the past.
Here is the third song from the movie. It is sung by Amirbai Karnataki. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Bulo C Rani.
Only audio of the song is available. From the sounds of it, this song appears to be picturised on Sita and her sahelis. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of this song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Today’s song is from an early film of Geeta Roy, from a stunt film- Jeene Do-1948.
If the 50’s decade was that of Religious films, the 40’s decade was dominated by Action, Stunt and Costume films. As many as 28 such films were made in 1948 alone, which gives an average of more than 2 films every month, which is quite high. The reasons were many for such films being made in abundance. The audience for stunt/action films generally belonged to the lower middle class, poor, daily wage earners and labourers. They looked for fights,stunts, dances and cheap humour in these films.
The ‘C’ grade films (as they were called) were usually screened in the older parts of the town. The theatres would be old and without any amenities. The audience did not mind it because the ticket rates were also lower. Entire film would be completed within a budget of about 15 to 20 thousand rupees in the silent era, 25 to 50000 rupees in the 30’s decade and 50 to 75000 rupees in the 40’s decade. It was only after 1945, when the II world war ended and many people having Black money to invest, that the ‘C’grade films too became costlier to make-i.e. 1 to 1.25 lakh rupees in the early 50’s decade !
Did you ever see films like, Khooni Khanzar, Dagabaj Doctor, Shaitaan ka paash, Char chakram, Daku Rani Talwarwali, Jaadu ka dandaa, Zinda Laash, Revolver Rani, Sindbad-Alladin-Alibaba, Flying man, Fighter Sheela, Khooni Darinda, Tarzan aur Jadugar, Tarzan aur Jadui Chiraag, Golden Gang, Murde ki jaan khatre mein, or Jadui putli ?
Obviously, these are the titles of all Stunt/Action films in Grade C. Considering the captive audience of such films, more spicy, odd and sensational titles were coined for these films to arouse curiosity. In the era of silent films, C grade stunt films were extremely popular. In fact a major part of the silent films was such films. Maybe that is the reason, why going to see a cinema was not considered good for impressionable girls and children of middle class and upper class, in those days.
In addition to all this, actors with odd and weird names were to be always found in stunt film casts. Have you ever heard actors with names like Bajar Battu, Phool kumari, Maruti pehelwan, Batata, Mitthoo Miyaan, Fatty Prasad, Boken Chattu, Minu the Mystic, Manchi Tuthi, Gareeb Raja, Kurbaan Jaoon, Pandit Dukhi, Vilayatu, Loveji Lavangiya, Adam Sandow, Sandow Safar, Dunlop, Chic Chak and a very strange name CHEMIST ! This name is found in 5-6 films.
Besides the human actors , some trained animals as well as a car and a motorcycle were also fixtures in stunt films. What’s more, these non-living and non -human participants too were named. So, you had Punjab ka Beta (Horse), Gunboat (Dog), and Austin ki Beti (car) in films made by Wadia Movietone. For Basant Pictures, it was Rajpoot (Horse), Moti (Dog) and Austin ki Bachhi (Car), even the Motorcycle had a name-Runniyo !
Besides specific audiences of workers,daily wagers and such other lower social strata, the stunt films had their own fixed Producers, Directors and even the actors. Most times, a set of action film actors was regular and specific to the production houses. For example, Fearless Nadia, John Cavas, Sayani Atish, Boman Shroff, the Billimorea brothers, Basheer etc were fixtures in stunt films of Wadia Movietone. Master Bhagwan, Chandrarao, Harischandra rao, Azeembhai, Vasantrao and Baburao pehelwan, Leela Gupte, Prakash, Habeeb etc were with stunt films made by Bhagwan and Harischandra rao.
Film Jeene Do-1948 was made by jai Hind Chitra, Bombay. The film was produced by actress Menaka Devi from Calcutta. It was directed by 2 people. K.A.Majeed started with the film first but suddenly left it to migrate to Pakistan. Then it was taken over by Adi F. Keeka (assistant with Wadia Movietone), who had earlier directed the film Shama in 1946.
We do not know about the storyline of this film, like other stunt films. These ‘C’ grade stunt/action films were neglected. They did not get even an ordinary review in any newspaper or a film magazine. We only know about its starcast, thanks to HFGK. The cast of this film was Menaka Devi, Harish, Leela Gupte, Pannalal etc.etc. The 9 songs of the film were written by Shevan Rizvi and Music Director was Shaukat Hussain Dehalvi, who later became famous as Nashaad, in the 1950s.
After Partition, there was a rush to migrate to Pakistan and artists continued to shift there from 47 to almost 1950. Some artistes like Noorjehan left immediately. There were few cases where some people borrowed money from friends and then left the country quietly, leaving the money lender high and dry. By about 49-50, almost everything was settled on both sides. The conditions in Lahore and Karachi had stabilised considerably for film making and lots of opportunities existed for film artistes there by mid 50s. That led to a second wave of migration to Pakistan at that time. Those who had continued in India completed their assignments here and went to Pakistan.
This type of Migration continued till almost mid 60s, when actor Kumar, MD Naashaad, producer actor Shaikh Mukhtar etc migrated to Pakistan. For the lucky ones, the talented ones and those who had preexisting ties in Pakistan sustained, prospered and were happy, but a few artistes suffered heavily. Once a popular Heroine, Meena Shorey, one of the most handsome actors of his times-Najmul Hasan and the hopeful Shaikh Mukhtar spent their last days in utter neglect, penury, disillusionment and sorrow. Actors like Noor Mohammed Charlie regretted their decision to migrate, but it was too late. One of the later migrants was NASHAD, music director,who shifted in 1963 or so.
NASHAD was born as Shaukat Haidari,in Delhi,on 11-7-1923.
He was one composer who used several names to give music. His first film was Dildar in 1947. He used the name Shaukat Dehlavi for Dildar-47, Paayal-48, Suhagi-48, Dada-49, Ghazab-51 and Ram Bharose-51. He was Shaukat Hussain Dehlavi for Jeene do-48, Shaukat Ali for Toote Tarey-48 and Shaukat Haidari for Aiye-49.
He was considered a mediocre composer in India. Then one day he was called by producer Nakshab Jarchvi,who offered him a film,with a condition that he changed his name to Nashad. He accepted the offer and used the name Nashad throughout his life. After him his 15 children too used Nashad as their surname.
Nakshab Jarachavi wanted to make a film. Those days Naushad was the Top composer. Films were sold in his name. Naushad worked only for Top banners. Nakshab approached him and offered his film. Naushad scornfully said,” Hum kisi aire gaire ki film ko music nahi detey”. This infuriated Nakshab no end and he challenged Naushad that he will make another Naushad in the industry. He called the comparatively less known but talented Shaukat Haidari,changed his name to NASHAD (to resemble Naushad’s name) and gave him the film.
Nashad, on his part, tried very hard and gave the music to film Naghma. It was,though not like Nashad’s standard, but excellent songs were there and the film became a hit due to its music. Unfortunately, Nashad could not repeat his success again ever in India. As Nashad he gave music to 21 films (total 30 films),like Bara Dari, Bada Bhai, Naghma, Char chaand, Kaatil Jawab, Sabse bada Rupiah, Rooplekha, Darwaza etc
Nashad gave their first hindi movie singing breaks to Mubarak begum, Suman Kalyanpur and Sabita Banerjee.
His friend Nakshab Jarachavi had migrated to Pakistan after 1947 and was making films there. He called Nashad to Pakistan as a composer for his film Maikhana-64 (after his film Fanoos also crashed at the Box office in Pakistan). Nashad accepted his offer. Before leaving , Nashad married singer Premlata and both went to Pakistan. His first film became a major hit and Nashad was on top. He gave music to 64 films in Pakistan.
Nashad died in Lahore on 3-1-1981.
While in India, Nashad was always accused of plagiarism, to which he answered through an interview to Filmfare, dated 5th August 1955, ( Thanks to Cineplot) thus….
” Although no one says it to my face, I know that there is a section in the film industry who decry my music as “a rehash of familiar tunes.”
This amounts to a charge of plagiarism. I have no defense, no apology, to offer, except to say that, if I am a plagiarist, I am one unconsciously. With only seven main notes, six ragas, thirty-six raginis and seventy-two sub-raginis, every “new” musical composition is bound to sound familiar in places. Try to hum any popular film composition of today and then cast back your mind. Make a careful search for a parallel and you will easily find one in some celebrated songs of yesterday.I believe in popular music, music which people will like, humming and singing it in their homes—in moments of joy or sorrow. I try my-best to keep my compositions free from complicated “alaps,” “tans” and those notational cascades which the man-in-the-street (who has no musical training) cannot easily remember and hum. Film music, to be good and popular, must always be the result of team-work. The ego of the music-director as well as that of the lyric-writer needs to be suppressed completely, even to the extent of accepting suggestions from everyone in the unit.
In the music of one of my forthcoming films, the appeal of the songs owes much to suggestions made by the producer and members of his staff. One of the tunes owes its origin to an air I heard the office-boy humming! The producer was no professional musician, but I discarded two of my best tunes to fit in a completely different third one based on his suggestions.
I am glad that I do not live in an ivory tower and am not deaf to the music of ordinary people, I say to myself : “If this is the kind of music they love, it is absurd to give them a high-brow composition. Both in rhythm and structure, I stick rigorously to what is popular, even at the sacrifice of my own preferences. Such film music can be planned scientifically and with precision. My first job usually is to sit with the director and determine the musical “situations”. Once these are agreed upon, I start composing the melodies, in harmony with the “mood” of those situations. Then the lyricist writes the words of the approved tune. After the song has been recorded, our work is finished and it now depends on the director to make or mar it in its picturisation . This, indeed, is a hurdle all film music must take.
Everyone has listened to film songs which sound good on the radio, yet have been “murdered” by poor picturisation. Everyone, too, has heard songs which on the air have sounded mediocre and of no particular merit, yet have been things of beauty in the film—thanks to clever directorial work. A really good song, given to a good director to picturise, seldom fails to go over in a big way with the public.
It is thus necessary for a music director to be careful in signing his contracts. It is important to him to make sure that the film for which he is employed to provide music will be directed by a competent man, so that not only are his songs not “murdered” in transcription to the screen but any possible shortcomings in them are glossed over by good picturisation. Consequently I have always studied the directors of the films for which I am to provide music. One knows that one’s songs are safe with them and gain in appeal from attractive picturisation. To these men, too, my tunes often sound “vaguely familiar”! But, then, what tune doesn’t ?
With only seven notes, six ragas, thirty-six raginis—but we’ve just gone over that! ”
Today’s song is sung by Geeta Roy. Her voice sounds fresh because she was still a newcomer in the industry, having started only in 1946. Surprisingly, in her first year itself she sang in 11 films, in the second year-1947- she sang in 17 films and in the third year-1948- she sang in as many as 37 films. The magic of her voice was recognised by the Industry !
