I cannot but help notice that the festivals of Holi and Deepawali are almost diametrically opposite to each other. They fall six months apart. Holi is observed on Poornima. Deepawali is observed on Amawasya. Holi is celebrated in day time (mostly first half of the day). Deepawali is celebrated at night time. On the day of Holi, roads are deserted. Public transport services that are usually jam packed run empty on this day. During Deepawali, public transport services run overbooked and there is no way one can get accomodation on trains on this day.

Today’s song is from the film Hamari Beti-1950.
The film was produced and directed by Shobhana Samarth, for her own banner ‘Shobhana Pictures’ Bombay. Music was by Snehal Bhatkar. Vasudev G. Bhatkar was working with H.M.V. and he had recorded some of his own songs as a singer. Impressed, Sudhir Phadke joined hands with him to give music to filmm “Rukmini Swayamvar”-1946. Being in service with HMV, Bhatkar could not use his real name, hence the pair was named as Vasudev-Sudhir. For more films, he used different names like B.Vasudev, V.G.Bhatkar and Snehal. In 1949, he left HMV to become a full time Music Director.
His first film was Hamari Beti-1950, for which he used the name Snehal Bhatkar- which continued till his last Hindi film, Sehme hue Sitare-1994. Snehal was his daughter’s name.

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Saagar Tarang-1950’. This movie had made its debut on the blog on 06.02.2014. While presenting the first song from this movie our editor Atul jee had mentioned the following.
“Saagar Tarang” (1950) is a movie about which hardly any information is available, other than the fact that Geeta Dutt has sung a few songs in this movie and these songs are available on line. Other than that, hardly any information is available on this movie.

Today’s song is from the film Pagle-1950.
The film was made by Markari Productions, Bombay. It was directed by Pratima Dasgupta. The music director was V.G.Bhatkar aka Snehal Bhatkar. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Madhuri, Jahagirdar, Pratima Devi, Mubarak, David, Agha, Cuckoo and some others. I have neither seen this film nor I could get my hands on its story, but I believe this was a dual story of a failed love and true love pair.

Today’s song is from the film Babuji-1950.
The film was made by Uday Productions, Bombay. It was a regular stunt film from the stable of Master Bhagwan – who had done a great job of keeping this genre alive through the 1940’s. In the beginning of the 1950s, Bhagwan turned to making social films, with the Blockbuster musical film Albela-1951.
Bhagwan was elated highly with the unexpected success of his foray into the social Genre and he went on making such social films. He had, however, not realised that 10 Albela was a novelty for his captive audience and 2) 75 % success of Albela was due to superb music by C.Ramchandra, who was at the pinnacle of his career that time !

Today’s song is from the film Apni Chhaya-1950.
The literal meaning of this film title is ‘our own shadow’. However, after reading the film’s story, one wonders what way this title is related to what happens in the film /. This is not the only example. There are several such misleading or confusing film titles. Maybe the producers were fond of fancy titles irrespective of the film’s content. It is also possible that there were changes in the film story during the shooting and thus the relation between the film content and the film title deferred like Ravan and Bibhishan !
The film, made by Chitralaya Ltd. Bombay was ably directed by P.L.Santoshi – who also wrote the lyrics for this film. During this time period Santoshi was completely enamored with one of his Heroines – Rehana. When I saw Santoshi’s name as a director, I looked into the cast of the film, but did not find Rehana’s name in the list.
The cast of the film was Sulochana Chatterjee, Balwant Singh, Radhakishen, Sajjan, Mumtaz Ali (Mehmood’s father), Ramsingh, Dulari, Neelam, Jawahar Kaul and others. The music was mostly by Husnlal-Bhagatram, except 2 songs which were composed by Pt. Hanuman Prasad (he discovered Geeta Roy in 1946).
