“Bhimsen”(1950) was directed by Jayant Desai for Mohan Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Trilok Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, Ram Singh, Rewa Shankar, Narbada Shanker, B. M. Vyas, Murad, Durga Khote etc in it.
There were nine songs in the movie according to HFGK. Three songs from the movie has been discussed in the past.
Here is the fourth song from “Bhimsen”(1950) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Geeta Dutt , Badrinath Vyas and chorus. Saraswati Kumar Deepak is the lyricist. Music is composed by Avinash Vyas.
Only the audio of this joie de vivre song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
From the lyrics, it seems clear that the song is lip synced by the character playing Draupadi and the occasion is agyaatwaas phase of Pandavas. Pandavas are carrying out their phase of agyaatwaas.
I have not been able to get a lyrics sung by the chorus. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the blanks/ suggest corrections in the lyrics.
Song-Sabse bada vidhaata (Bhimsen)(1950) Singers-Geeta Dutt, Badrinath Vyas, Lyrics-Saraswati Kumar Deepak, MD-Avinash Vyas

Today’s song is from a stunt film Baboo ji-1950.
Oh my God ! Can’t believe it !! My 1200th Post !!!
Honestly, more than Joy, I am amazed how I have reached this stage. Entering this field was never planned by me. When I detached myself from working with my Pharma background finally in 2008 ( I had retired in 1998, but I ran my Consultancy Company till another 10 years ), I had no plans of what I was going to do in my free time.
After travelling with my wife all over India and most of the world, I decided that it was high time I learnt operating computers at least now. My grandsons were too happy to teach me how to use a Laptop, at my age of 71 years. The first Love, they say, never dies. My first love was old films and old songs. So I started surfing and downloading old known and unknown songs and made several cassettes. Then one day while surfing I stumbled upon” atulsongaday.wordpress.com”. I found a lot of old songs. I was impressed with the write ups and comments of readers.
I had many diaries, loaded with information noted down whenever I had seen a film – from about 1948-49 onwards. There were about 80-90 diaries, which I had carried wherever I was transferred during my career, at the cost of complaints from my family. I started using information from these diaries and making comments on this and other Blogs, Fb groups and sites. After some time I became a known person in the fraternity and my first post appeared on this Blog, after Atul ji encouraged me to write a post on a song from the film ” Savitri-1937″. It was posted on 1-10-2012. I realised that this was my second innings only when I was neck-deep in it ! Thanks to Atul ji and Sudhir ji – my first motivators.

So, it looks like that in 3882 days, I have written 1200 posts on this Blog alone.( my many articles are published on Sangeet ke sitare, Anmol Fankaar, Songs of yore, memsaabstory.com, Cineplot, Kalyan Music group, geetadutt.com and few other sites, blogs etc. and 2 books to boot !).
On this occasion I thank Atul ji, Sudhir ji, my friends on the Atulite group on this Blog and WA group as well as several visiting commenters who have encouraged and motivated me from time to time with their comments and appreciations. I would especially mention the name of Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji for helping me whenever I needed information. He has been a pillar of my strength in this field.
Now, coming to today’s song and film Baboo ji-1950. Just because HFGK mentions it and the starcast clearly indicates so, the film is accepted as a stunt film. Its title otherwise sounds like a Social film ! The cast of the film was Bhagwan, Leela Gupte, Baburao Pehlwan, vasantrao pehlwan, Usha Shukla, Azeem, Mirajkar and many regulars. The lyricist was Ehsan Rizvi and the MD was P. Ramakant. The director was Master Bhagwan.
Master Bhagwan was a very hard working person. In the real sense, he brought in the wave of stunt films again in the late 40s. After the films of Master Vithal and Fearless Nadia waned in their popularity by 1944-45, it was Master Bhagwan, who established his own Production house-Jagriti Films and produced several stunt films. He had a set of actors and actresses, which included Baburao pehelwan, Vasantrao pehelwan, Azeem Bhai, Shanta Patel, Chanchal, Leela Gupte, Usha Shukla and Vitha Lokare.
The storyline for most of his films was also fixed.
Two young vagabonds-Baburao pehelwan and Bhagwan, come to Bombay in search of employment. One Sethji (Azeembhai ) appoints them to protect him from the local criminal (Vasantrao pehelwan). Sethji has a good looking daughter ( one of the stock Heroines), who has a maid (another girl from the stock). Baburao loves Seth ji’s daughter and Bhagwan loves the maid. After a lot of stunts and fighting scenes, the end would be happy.
The same story with changed names and other minor changes was used in almost all his films like Badla, Bahadur, Jalan, Madadgaar, Dosti, Shake hand, Matlabi,Bach ke rehna,Bhole bhale, Jeete Raho or such other films. The audience did not mind . They were happy with the stunts. (Did Nasir Hussain and Manmohan Desai get inspiration from Bhagwan in this matter ?). In almost all his films the songs and dialogues were by Ehsan Rizvi.
Luck is a funny thing. In this world it is difficult to say who will be lucky and when and on whom Lady Luck will smile. Lyricist Ehsan Rizvi’s case falls under this uncertainty. Born on 26-1-1914 in U.P., Rizvi came to Bombay at the age of 24. He was a good poet and writer. He wanted to try his luck in the films. How he got a break in films is an interesting story.
Master Bhagwan entered the film world with the silent film ‘ Bewafa Aashiq’-30. His first talkie film was ‘Himmat-e-Marda’-34. Initially,like all other Heroes, even Bhagwan used to sing his own songs. Once he had gone to Columbia company for rehearsal and recording a song. While entering, he saw a young man sitting under a tree and writing something. After rehearsal, he saw that fellow again and even after recording the man was still writing something. Bhagwan went to him and asked with curiosity what he was writing. The man answered, I am writing songs and stories. He came to know that his name was Ehsaan Rizvi and that he too lives in Dadar like Bhagwan. He took Rizvi’s address and left.
In 1938, Bhagwan got his first film as a Director- Bahadur kisaan-38. He called Ehsan Rizvi and gave him a scene and asked him to write dialogues. He came back with the dialogues. After reading Bhagwan was astonished. The scene started with one villager saying ” Ram Ram Bhaiya ji. Kaise ho ?” He asked Ehsan, ‘ being a Muslim, how have you written this?” He replied,” we start any work with God’s name. As your story is Hindu based, I wrote Ram Ram. If it was Muslim film, I would have written “Allah”. Bhagwan was impressed and he gave him not only this film but Ehsan became a member of his group. He wrote songs, story and dialogues of at least 25 films of Bhagwan.
After the fall of Bhagwan’s fortunes. Bhagwan himself advised him to work in other banners as he was no longer in a position to make films now. Rizvi wrote lyrics for 60 films, but most of them were B or C grade films. He however wrote dialogues and screenplay for some well known films like Do Ustad-59, Mughal-e-Azam-60, Woh kaun thi-64, Aan milo sajna-71, Gopichand jasoos-82 etc etc. He had shared the Film Fare award for dialogues of Mughal e Azam-60, with 3 other writers. He died on 16-1-1983.
Now coming to the MD’s name-P.Ramakant. P. Ramakant. This was a name used by C.Ramchandra, because he was under contract with Filmistan and could not give music in his own name. It started with Raja Nene’s film Shadi se pehle in 1947, in which he first used his assistant’s name Paingankar ( the joint MD was Karnad). His name was Ramakant Paingankar and was assisting Chitalkar for a long time. Later, for Bhagwan’s films like Bhedi Bangla-49, Bhole bhale-49, Babuji-50, and Bakshish-50 also, Chitalkar used the pseudonym P. Ramakant as MD. (information from Marathi Chitrapat Sangeetkar kosh by Madhu Potdar). For film Dussehra-56, N.Datta’s assistant was Ramakant paingankar, who was assistant to C.Ramchandra for a long time. He is the same person who tried his hand at being a composer himself in the late 40s. With Shyamsunder and Ramchandra Pal, he gave music to Urvashi-46 and with Lal Mohammed in Mitti-47. . Ramakant gave music to film Rupiah-50 independently. Then he turned to Marathi films. In his last days, he came back to Hindi films again as assistant to many composers.
It was from the film ‘Albela’ that CR gave music to Bhagwan’s film in his real name. Prior to this, he gave music to his stunt films as ‘Annasaheb’ and Ram Chitalkar.This type of use of pen names was followed by many MDs. GM Durrani gave music as Gunjan, SD Batish gave music as Nirmal Kumar. Snehal Bhatkar used several names like Vasudev, B Vasudev, VG Bhatkar and Snehal, before taking up another pen name Snehal Bhatkar for the rest of his career. Actually his name was Vasudeo and Snehal was his daughter’s name. Similarly, MD Nashaad also used names like Shaukat Hussain Dehalvi, Shaukat Dehalvi, Shaukat Ali, and Shaukat Haider. These are well known, but today I will tell you 2 pen names for the FIRST time on the internet ! Hardly anybody knows that Anil Biswas gave music to film ‘Begunah’ (1949) in the name of Haribhai. His co-MD in this film was Shyamu – none other than C Ramchandra. This information is given in the Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema by Rajadhyaksha on pages 67 and 190.
On this occasion, no wonder I have selected a song sung and composed by my favourite composer C.Ramchandra. The song is very good, a typical C Ramchandra style song. I am sure all of the readers will also like this song. Enjoy….
Song- Gorey gorey mukhde se ghoonghat hataao jo (Baaboojee)(1950) Singer- Anna Saheb (C.Ramchandra), Lyricist- Ehsan Rizvi, MD- P.Ramakant (C.Ramchandra)
Lyrics

Today (8 march 2023) is Holi, the festival of colour. The mythology and history behind the festival are well known and need not be repeated.
Still there were some facts about Holi that I was not aware of. For example, I was not aware that Holi festival falls on Poornima (full moon day), which is the last day of the month of falgun (also called Phagun). This is in fact the last day of the Vikram Samwat Calender. The next day, viz firstd day of The month of Chaitra starts is the first day of the new year of Vikram Samwat.
This full moon day, third full moon of the year, is called worm moon in Western Astronomy circles.
That way, this festival of Holi is the reverse of Deepawali that falls on Amawasya, on the middle of the month of Kartik. In A way, Holi marks the beginning of summer whereas Deepawali marks the beginning of winter.
It is interesting how moon plays such important roles in determining the dates of India festivals.
Since Holi marks the beginning of Summer, so it means that days (that were still shorter than night) begin to get longer. Finally it is on 21 March 2023 that day and night become equal. It is called equinox.
Heavens this year have arranged for two interesting event on the occasion of Holi.:) Just before Holi, the world witnessed the sight of Jupiter and Venus coming close to each other in the evening sky. This was the most important astronomical event of the year.
on 24 march 2023, there will be venus eclipse, viz Moon will cover Venus just like it sometimes covers Sun to cause solar eclipse. It needs full moon to cause solar eclipse, but this venus eclipse will be caused by a thin dooj ka chaand. 🙂 This event is technically called Lunar occultation of Venus.
This festival is being celebrated for thousands of years, it predates even Vikram Samwat, which is 2080 years old. I wonder what calender was used to determine the date of Holi festival (and other festivals) before the Vikram Samwat.
On this occasion, here is a Holi song from “Hamaara Ghar”(1950).
“Hamaara Ghar”(1950) was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt for Hindustan Chitra, Bombay. The movie had Durga Khote, Umakant Desai, Veera, Agha, Meena Kumari, Geeta Bose, David, Jankidas, Ramesh Gupta etc in it.
The movie had seven songs in it. Six songs from the movie have been discussed in the blog in the past. Here are the details:-
| Blog post number | song | Date of post | Singer(s) | lyricist |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9270 | Kahaan chale sarkaar (Hamaara Ghar) | 9 January 2014 | Shamshad Begam, Kishore Kumar | Rammurty Chaturvedi |
| 13261 | Chupke chupke dil mein mere aane waale ho (Hamaara Ghar) | 21 May 2017 | Geeta Dutt, Rafi | Asad Bhopali |
| 14391 | Chaandni chhitki huyi hai muskuraati raa hai (Hamaara Ghar) | 4 June 2018 | Geeta Dutt, Rafi | Anjum Jaipuri |
| 15645 | Teri tirchhi najar teri patli kamar (Hamaara Ghar) | 7 June 2020 | Rafi, Shamshad Begam | Bharat Vyas |
| 15681 | Chori chori mat dekh balam (Hamaara Ghar) | 23 June 2020 | Shamshad Begam, Rafi | Bharat Vyas |
| 16436 | Dekho to dil hi dil mein jalte hain jalne waale (Hamaara Ghar) | 24 June 2021 | Geeta Dutt, Shamshad Begam, Shanti Sharma | Anjum Jaipuri |
Here is this joyous Holi song from “Hamaara Ghar”(1950). This song is sung by Shamshad Begam, Rafi and chorus. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Chitragupta.
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
With this song, the seventh and final song from the movie, all songs of “Hamaara Ghar”(1950) have been covered in the blog. This movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.
I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and safe holi.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
In this post I present a song from the movie ‘Gulnar-1950’.
With this song this movie ‘Gulnar-1950’ is making its debut on the blog. I was surprised to note that this moviewas not yet represented on the blog. May be its’ songs were not available earlier on internet earlier. I checked the various lists on the blog again and again to make sure that this movie was not represented on the blog.
“Gulnar-1950” was directed by Harbans for ‘Girdhar Bahaar Productions’. It had Geeta Bali, Salim Raza, Farida, Kamal, Kuckoo, Smriti Rekha, Safi, Begum Parveen, Ramesh Thakur, Deepak, Asha, Nazar and others.
‘Gulnar-1950’ has twelve songs as mentioned in HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950). HFGK mentions the lyricist names for this movie as Tufail Hoshiyarpuri, Mulk Raj Bhakri, and Ehsan Rizvi. HFGK also mentions the same team of the three lyricists as the dialogue writers for this movie.
Lyricist’s names for the individual songs have not been mentioned.
Music for this movie has also been jointly credited to Hansraj Behl and Qadir Faridi.
Here is the list of songs in this movie alongwith the name of singer/s for the respective song. (Singer’s name for only one song (at sr.no. 6 below) has not been mentioned in HFGK).
| SNo. | Song Title | Singer/s |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Gham bhi hain raahten bhi, do din ki zindagi mein | Shyama |
| 02 | Ghulamon ki purdard hai yah kahaani | Meena Kapoor |
| 03 | Jab pyaar ka mausam aaye nazar sharmaaye | Munawwar Sultana |
| 04 | O husn ke deewaane, aankhon se ek jaam pilaao | Zeenat Begum |
| 05 | Tum bhool na jaana.., ek dil ne sunaana hai | Zeenat Begum, Qadir Faridi |
| 06 | Aa gayi bahaar, chhaa gayi bahaar | Not known |
| 07 | Chhan chhaayi…, re jawaani mori nayi | Zeenat Begum, Munawwar Sultana |
| 08 | Jahaan mein kisi se muhabbat na karnaa | Zeenat Begum, Munawwar Sultana,chorus |
| 09 | Samjhaa thha ki jee lenge muhabbat ke sahaare | Zeenat Begum |
| 10 | Mushqil kun aasan (in Farsi language) | Rooh Angez Khanam |
| 11 | Dil gashtaa chu muye (in Farsi language) | Rooh Angez Khanam |
| 12 | Kar mushqil aasaan | Zeenat Begum |
Today’s song is sung by Munawwar Sultana. It is a nice song to listen to. Only the audio of this song is available.
I guess that all the songs from this movie must be nice songs to listen to and enjoy. It seems that some of the songs, if not all from this movie are available on internet. (There seems to be a ‘Pakistani movie’ with this title ‘Gulnar’ released in 1953-1954. This should not be confused with the today’s movie).
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.
Let us now welcome ‘Gulnar-1950’ on this blog and enjoy the lovely composition ….
Song-Jab pyaar ka mausam aaye (Gulnaar)(1950) Singer-Munawwar Sultana (singer), Lyrics-Tufail Hoshiyarpuri, Mulk Raj Bhakri, Ehsan Rizvi, MD-Hansraj Behl, Qadir Faridi
Lyrics
jab pyaar ka mausam aaye

dil se dil mil jaaye ae
dil se dil mil jaaye
jab pyaar ka mausam aaye
ho jab pyaar ka mausam aaye
nazar sharmaaye
kamar bal khaaye
chain naa aa aaye ae ae
Kitna karte pyaar bataa do

Today’s song is a Non Film Song (NFS). It is a duet sung by Jharana Devi and Hemant Kumar.
After a long time,possibly 2 years or so, I am discussing a NFS. Many of our readers may not know that for the first 3 years of this Blog, no NFS was discussed. When I started visiting and commenting on this Blog, I was thinking that only film songs are posted here. In the year 2011, one of our regulars, Shri. AK ji of Songs of Yore first wrote a lengthy comment here advocating that this Blog should discuss NFS too. After this I too wrote supporting his view and very soon Atul ji started posting NFS here.
Dance, Music and Songs have a special place in Indian culture. Dance requires training, Music requires musical instruments, but songs are for everyone. Centuries ago, Dance and Music was the prerogative of the Kings and the Rich. But songs had already permeated into the daily lives of people. From birth to death, from celebrations to festivals and from Naamkaran to Marriage, songs were available and used freely by the womenfolk. Songs had also entered the educational system. I remember, during my school days in the late 40’s, teachers insisted that we recited poems like a song, so that we remembered them. Even the Tables or the Pahades were loudly repeated by the entire class in tune. This helped to make the dry mathematics enjoyable. Due to that, people in the age bracket of 70+ still do remember the tables of 1/4,1/2,3/4,1 1/4, 1 1/2 etc even today. In the age of computers, Calculators and Mobiles, I find it easier and faster to calculate in my old learned way !
In India, the first recording was done in 1902 by a German team and there was no looking back after that. HMV opened a factory to make records in Calcutta. In those days, records and gramophones were affordable only to the rich people. In 1936, All India Radio started. from 1931 onward talkie films provided film songs, but film song records were regularly made only by the end of the 30’s decade. Until then Non Film Songs were popular all over the country.
During the period 1930 to almost 1960, it was the era of NFS. In the early years, Saigal, Pankaj Mullick, Juthika Roy, Jagmohan and Talat Mahmood ruled this segment. I remember we had a gramophone and one of my uncles was a fan of NFS, so we had many records of these singers. Very soon Hemant Kumar and S.D.Burman also joined the singing group. Bengali singers were in the forefront of singing NFS. Faiyyaz Hashmi, Kamal Dasgupta and his brother Subal Dasgupta looked after the lyrics and the music. Slowly in the western India too, almost every singer sang NFS. Lata, Asha, Geeta, Mukesh, Rafi and even Kishore Kumar cut several NFS records.
After 1960. the NFS died its natural death. The melody of Bangla singers ended with the demise of all those singers. That is why music lovers in the age bracket of 70+ remember the Golden period of NFS by the specialists. The newer generations, however , have missed the train. Once the NFS started featuring on the Blog, almost all famous and popular old time NFS were discussed. So far we have 254 NF songs by 81 singers listed on this Blog. Initially, when the NFS of Jagmohan, Pankaj Mullick, Juthika Roy etc were discussed, music lovers from far and wide countries put their comments on every song. These were the indicators of the popularity of the NFS.
Today’s NFS is a duet which is not only rare but also very old i.e. from the 40’s decade – almost 70-80 year old period. The singers are Hemant Kumar and Jharana Devi. I do not know anything about Jharana Devi. She was a famous bengali singer who sang film and Non film songs. In Hindi, I found that she sang only in one film ” Iran ki ek raat”-1949. No more information on her. About Hemant Kumar , ofcourse we know a lot, but some points of his life too are less known. Let us read further.
” Listening to Hemant da, I feel as though a Sadhu is singing a Bhajan in a Temple ” -said Lataji.
I agree with Lata ji 100%. I have always loved songs of Hemant Kumar-be it Aao bachchon tumhe dikhaayen jhanki Hindustan ki (Jaagriti) or Ya dil ki suno duniyawaalon(Anupama) or any of the Hemant – Lata duet like Saanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke (Ek Hi Raasta) or Yaad kiya dil ne kahaan ho tum(Patita).
Hemant Kumar achieved his unassailable position through difficult times in his early career, which he had begun with NFS. while reading material on Hemant Kumar from Bangla Literature, I found an article written by one of his close friends. Luckily I also found its English translation. I reproduce here only a part of the article which reports two important events of his early life. One in Calcutta and one in early Bombay days- which also exposes the ugly face of competition in Bombay musical circles by a known Jodi !
“Although Hemanta was making ground as a singer, he had never intended to become one in the first place. He cherished to become a writer. Hemanta used to attend writer’s communions at the local library and was also the editor of the communion. A story written by him even got published in the prestigious ‘Desh’ magazine in 1937. But Hemanta’s friends did not want Hemanta the writer, they were more fond of Hemanta the singer. With a mild annoyance Hemanta gradually distanced himself from the literary world. Nevertheless he maintained deep ties with literary personalities throughout his life.
Columbia’s trainer Sailesh Duttagupta first initiated Hemanta to Rabindrasangeet. In the beginning Saileshbabu used to stay near Hemanta’s house in Bhabanipur, but later he shifted to Ballygunge. One day he scolded Hemanta, “What’s up with you? Earlier you used to be on time, but since I have moved you seem to be consistently late.” Hemanta hesitated a bit and replied in a mild voice, “Earlier you used to stay near my place. I have to walk all the way now, so sometimes I get late.” Saileshbabu was taken aback, “You walk all the way? Why on earth?” Hemanta stood silently with a melancholic face, but Saileshbabu understood. He affectionately told Hemanta, “I will give you an anna daily to cover your travel expenses.”
Sailesh Duttagupta was Hemanta’s only music tutor. He went to an ustad to train in classical music for a few days but could not concentrate. (Hemanta Mukherjee mentions in his autobiography that he had started to learn Hindustani classical music under the tutelage of Ustad Faiyaz Khan, but his learning was cut short by the Ustad’s untimely death.) Hemanta’s lack of classical training proved to be a blessing in disguise. His god gifted voice was as fluent as the undeterred winds. Grammatical rules of classical music might have restricted the flowering of his sweet voice. The fluency with which Hemanta sings ‘Amar bhanga pather ranga dhulaaye’ or ‘Dekonaa amare Dekonaa’ might not have been observed in classical oriented songs such as ‘Tabu mone rekho’ or ‘Era par ke apan kore’. Hemanta did not possess a harmonium for quite a few days after submerging himself in the ocean of music. He had to go to other people’s homes to practice. After a couple of records Hemanta had enough to purchase his first harmonium. After his third record Hemanta decided to quit studies and direct all his efforts to music. His father was not happy with this, but Hemanta’s mother supported her son’s wish. She knew what was best for him.
Unlike the other stalwarts of those times, Hemanta was not born into an affluent family. Sachin Dev Burman was the prince of Tripura, Pahari Sanyal’s ancestors were called the uncrowned nawabs of Lucknow, Pankaj Mullick had worked with the Indian Railways to sustain himself before he got established and K. L. Saigal also held a regular job before he came into music. How then did Hemanta dare to forego the security of a job and plunge himself into the darkness of an uncertain future?
Hemanta was one of those rare artistes who savours unearthly pleasure by keeping himself busy within the domain of his work. Affluence and luxury used to create the same emotions within him, as did melancholy and poverty. I have seen the same untainted humble countenance on a young struggling Hemanta, as I have seen years later on Hemanta sitting at the pinnacle of success surrounded with plenitude. Wealth, awards, trophies did not bring about a change in his simple attire. Clad in a dhoti and a shirt with sleeves rolled up, the same mundaneness in conversation, it was the same Hemanta always. Success never blinded him and so he stayed ever so close to our hearts.
Hemanta’s struggle along the road to success started from the very first day. He worked tirelessly night and day, from music tuitions, to the radio office, to the Tollygunge studios looking for a break in film playback. But success seemed to elude him and he had to make his living from the meagre remuneration of the music tuitions and the odd song that he recorded. Then one day suddenly he got his much awaited break in a film called ‘Nimai Sanyas’ as the playback for the leading star Chhabi Biswas. A kirtan style devotional song ‘Kotha krishna, kotha krishna, prabhu dekha dao dekha dao’. Two years after this Hemanta cut his first Rabindrasangeet disc ‘Amar aar habenaa deri’ and ‘Keno pantha e chanchalata’. A rich voice with a clear throw of words. This time nobody taunted him as Pankaj’s parody. The record won critical acclaim not only from the common masses but also from the educated elite. Thus began the saga of a new exponent of Rabindrasangeet, who brought Rabindrasangeet from the phonographs of the affluent to the lips of the common masses. Rabindrasangeets which were undoubtedly popular at that time, also became ‘hits’ in this golden voice.
Hemanta composed the entire score for Hemen Gupta’s film ‘Abhijatri’ in 1944. It was this Hemen Gupta, who gave Hemanta’s rising career a shot in the arm with the Hindi film ‘Anandmath’ in 1951. Hemanta migrated to Bombay and joined S. Mukherjee’s Filmistan Studios at a monthly salary of Rs. 1500. But that was just the beginning of another long strain of struggle to carve a niche for himself in the competitive Hindi film music scenario. The leading composer duo of those times Shankar Jaikishen even offered Hemanta a chance for playback in their movies on the condition that he would not compose music in films; Hemanta modestly declined the offer. But true talent never goes unrecognized and it was in a matter of a few years that Hemanta became a foremost singer as well as music director in Bombay. Rabindrasangeet and Bengali modern songs had made Hemanta the darling of the Bengalis, Bombay gave him nationwide recognition. Hemanta’s days of struggle and worries, were finally coming to an end. Success, fame, wealth, awards continued to radiate throughout his life.
I remember an incident from the early years of Hemanta’s life. After his first record was released, Hemanta and I were returning after purchasing a few copies of it from a record shop adjoining the Purna cinema hall. A strain of a Pankaj Mullick song being played in a house entered our ears. Suddenly Hemanta asked, “Will my songs ever play like this in people’s homes?” I don’t remember what I had replied then. But later, much later, Hemanta got that answer himself – not only did his songs play in people’s homes in Bengal, it played all over the country. It played not only on gramophone discs, but it played in people’s hearts, its strains returned on their lips and it got ensconsced forever in their psyche.” (This article was composed in Bengali by Hemanta Mukherjee’s friend Sudhiranjan Mukhopadhyay. Translated by Prithviraj Dasgupta. My thanks to Faculty ist unomaha.)
Let us now enjoy today’s rare duet NFS by Hemant Kumar and Jharana Devi. I must also thank shri Syed Zafar Shah, who regularly uploads old gems from films and Non Film songs.

One of the unYIPPEED movie has already been taken up under BTYC today. The second movie eligible for BTYC today is “Saudaamini”(1950).
“Saudaamini”(1950) was directed by Prabhash Chandra Joshi for National Screen Service, Bombay. This movie had Sona Chatterjee, P.C.Joshi, S.N.Tripathi, Bikram Kapoor, Leela Chitins, Rampyari, Maruthi,Usha, Shyamsundar, Baby Zubeda, Cuckkoo, Chandrakala etc in it.
“Saudaamini”(1950) had nine songs in it. Six songs have been covered in the blog so far.
Here is the seventh song from the movie to appear in the blog.
This song is sung by Chitragupta. There were four lyricists iun the movie (Anjum,Arjun,Joshi,B.D.Mishra), but the distribution of songs among them is not known. Music is composed by S N Tripathi.
Only audio of the song is available.
Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Chor-1950. For reasons unknown, the name of this film in HFGK is written as Chore, whereas everywhere else, including in Hindi in HFGK itself it is mentioned as Chor only !
The film was directed by Anand Prasad Kapoor (32 films as a director and 2 films as an actor) and the film had music from Pt. Govind Ram. Before we move further, I have a query – do you know which actor in Hindi films had his real name as Indriya Daman (इंद्रिय दमन ) ? I know it is a difficult question and 99% readers will not be able to give the right answer.
It was almost a custom in Hindi films, until recently, to have a ” Filmi” name instead of having the real name. There were many reasons for this, like hiding odd names, religion, caste, language or mostly to avoid having a very common name. Sometimes existing names in the industry also forced the artiste to have a pseudonym. For example, most people know that Meenakumari’s real name was Mehjabin.

Now coming to the original first question – Who was Indriya Daman ? He was none other than actor Shekhar- Hero of today’s film, Chor-1950. He was born on 8-10-1923,at Dehradun. He did his schooling in Meerut and Graduated from Agra university. Then he worked as an Announcer in All India Radio,Delhi. He came to Bombay with a desire to act in films. He got the Hero’s role in Devendra Goel’s first production,” Aankhen”-1950,opposite his own dreamgirl Nalini Jaywant. Composer Madan Mohan also made his debut with Aankhen-50. In Spite of 3 debutants,the film became a Hit. The 5′ 8” tall,fair and handsome Shekhar became a star overnight.
Shekhar became very famous when he sang ‘ Tujhe kya sunaun main dilruba ‘ from film Aakhri daon-58 ( melody made by Madan Mohan and inspired by Sajjad Husain’s ‘ye hawa ye raat ye chandni’ from film Sangdil, in Talat’s voice). Shekhar was a very lucky person.In one of the interviews he gave in 1956,he himself has recounted incidents where his luck helped him. This interview can be read on Cineplot. After leaving films,Shekhar looked after his production and Distribution business,expanding it further. Shahid Latif was his close friend and when Shahid made his first film Darwaza-54,he gave the distribution rights for Delhi and U.P. of this film to his friend Shekhar. Thus started his business even while he was still acting. Shekhar acted in about 35 films.
Shekhar’s career as an actor was cut short abruptly,because he decided to become Film producer.He produced Chhote Babu-57,Aakhri Dao-58 & Bank Manager-59.The last one was a total wash out. Not heeding to it, he started” Pyas”,with Phani Mazumdar as director & N.Dutta as M D. Bina Rai was signed as heroine against himself. To arrange finance he accepted C grade films, such as Dilli Ka Dada with Sheikh Mukhtar & Hum Matwale Naujawan, both 62 movies. Soon he was out of the job & worst, his film remained stalled, due to financial crunch. Shekhar completed the film with great difficulty.The film was ultimately released in 1968, with a new title “Apna Ghar Apni Kahani”. As anticipated,the film attracted no audience,due to its dated look & long forgotten, middle aged lead pair. Financially ruined, Shekhar migrated to Canada. He expired there, a long time back.
The music director of this film was Pt. Govind Ram, who was one of the most respected persons in the film industry. C.Ramchandra was very much impressed with his music and work method. Lata Mangeshkar also respected him calling him ” Master ji”. However none of her songs composed by Govind Ram became famous or a hit song. It is very sad that his date of birth or even the date of death is not known.
In the pre-partition period of Hindi films, there were many schools of music directors, many times on a regional basis, but some were just unique. The Punjabi school of film composing was a very important and innovative school among these. This school gained popularity in the 1940s, which also resulted in the immense popularity of Punjabi folk music. Ghulam Haider was considered to be the most important of these, but equally great were Pandit Amarnath , Shyam Sundar , Husnlal – Bhagatram , G. A. Chishti , and Pandit Gobindram .
Pandit Gobindram Ji ( born in 1912) was a trained musician from Lahore, and was equally popular in both Hindi and Punjabi films. Unlike other music directors of the Punjabi school, music composed by him did not typically reflect native Punjabi trends, but instead lay firmly in the category of mainstream 1940s’ music. One could very well say that he played a crucial part in shaping the music of the 1940s. His music is truly melodious and varied, with a unique combination of highly expressive tunes, yet very fun and foot tapping and rhythmically catchy. He is one of the music directors who used a very large number of singers, only second to Gyan Dutt, one of his worthy contemporaries. He excelled equally in composing happy, sad, romantic, serious, comical, classical, just any kind of songs. It is a pity that he has never received the attention that he deserved.
Among his landmarks are the introduction of enormous contributions to making Shamshad Begum and Zohrabai the top singers in Hindi films. He recorded the maximum number of Hindi film songs with Shamshad Begum – 86 songs in 19 films. He was also one of the foremost music directors to encourage and bring forward great veteran Rafi , and also introduced great singer Zeenat Begum to films. He has 32 films to his credit and each one had equally superb music. He composed 302 songs.
Some of his films were Himmat-41,Sahara-43, Pagli-43, Aabroo-43, Naseeb-45, Laila Majnu-45, Sassi Punnu-46, Chalis Karod-46, Ghar ki izzat-49, Nisbat-49, Bholi-49, Raj mukut-50, Chore-50, Sarkar-51 and his last film Naqab-55. Most popular singers of that period have graced his songs. His use of light music, Ghazals, Thumris and various popular music forms in films, provide a ready insight into the uniqueness of 1940s music, and with a slightly unique flavour of both his compositions as well as a tiny tinge of Punjabi style.
Pandit Gobindram Ji started his career with Jeevan Jyoti (1937), but his first Hindi film in the 1940s was Himmat (1941). Today, it is remembered for being the second ever Hindi film of veteran singer Shamshad Begum Ji, where she beautifully sang the traditional Dadra ‘Inhin Logon Ne Le Leena Dupatta Mora’ , in her young, sweet but powerful voice. The famous song with the same lyrics in Pakeezah (1972) is largely a copy of this song. This was the first song composed by Gobindram that helped him gain recognition. Other songs from this film included a beautiful duet by Ghulam Haider and Umraozia Begum , ‘Main Hoon Rani Ek Sunehri Nagri Ki’.
His last film was Naqaab-55. Gobindram worked with more than 30 lyricists during his career. With 56 songs in 8 films, his collaboration was the highest with Ishwar Chandra Kapoor. Some of the other prominent lyricists he worked with include Bharat Vyas , Ram Murti Chaturvedi , Ramesh Gupta , and Qamar Jalalabadi . (adapted from an article by Vidur Sury, with thanks).
Let us now listen to the duet sung by Shamshad Begum and S.D.Batish.

Lyrics
ho tere gaanv mein
ho tere gaanv mein
tere gaanv mein sajan mora dil na lage re
mohe dilli shahar dikhla de balamwa
jamuna snaan kara de
ho kyun gaanv se
ho kyun gaanv se
kyun gaanv se roothh gayi hai sajaniya
itna to mohe batla de sajaniya
manwa ki baat bata de
dilli shahar mein hai ik bajariya
bikti hai wahaan pe dhaani chunariya
ho o more balma
ho more balma hoy
dillil shahar mein hai ik bajariya
bikti hai wahaan pe dhaani chunariya
dilli ki odhni odha de saanwariya
chaandni chowk dikhla de balamwa
jamuma snaan kara de
main waari jaaun
jamuma snaan kara de
apne gaanv ki kheti baadi
kaise chhod ke jaaun main pyaari
ho o mori janiya
ho mori janiya
apne gaanv ki kheti baadi
kaise chhod ke jaaun main pyaari
kaise chalegi pet ki gaadi
itna tu mohe batla de sajaniya
itna to mohe batla de sajaniya
manwa ki baat bata de
dilli shahar mein bade bade chaudhary
bade bade chaudhary
dilli shahar mein
bade bade chaudhary
unke wahaan tum kariyo naukari
kariyo naukari
milegi tankhva mauj karenge
laal quile ki sair karenge
milegi tankhva mauj karenge
laal quile ki sair karenge
maanegi na tu badi hathheeli
maanegi na tu badi hathheeli
baandh le gathhdi meri chameli
waah re balam to pe waari waari jaaun
rabdi parathe tujh ko khilaaun
zara jaldi se ticket kata de
ho zara jaldi se ticket kata de sajanwa
dilli shahar dikhla de balamwa
jamuma snaan kara de
main waari jaaun
jamuma snaan kara de
ho tere gaanv mein
ho tere gaanv mein
tere gaanv mein sajan mora dil na lage re
mohe dilli shahar dikhla de balamwa
jamuna snaan kara de
main waari jaaun
jamuna snaan kara de
