Today’s song is the last and final song from a lesser known social film ‘Ek Shola’ (1958).
This film title contains the starting word ‘Ek’, one of the most favorite words of the filmmakers. This word ‘Ek’ is used in 206 film titles, from 1931 to 2012. The film was the first film produced by Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar, for their own banner Deep and Pradeep productions, Bombay. It was a joint venture of Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar. Deep Khosla, writer-actor became a partner in Pradeep Kumar’s film production company and produced its first film, ‘Ek Shola’ (1958) which went to the production sometime in 1956. Thereafter, the banner produced ‘Ek Jhalak’ (1957), ‘Police’ (1958) and ‘Do Dilon Ki Daastaan’ (1966). In between, their partnership ran into some problems because of trust deficits between Deep Khosla and Pradeep Kumar. It is stated that as a part of the settlement between the two partners, Pradeep Kumar acted free in ‘Batwaara’ (1961) which was produced under the banner of Deep and Sandeep Productions. Sandeep was the son of Kalidas, the brother of Pradeep Kumar. ‘Do Dilon Ki Daastaan’ (1966) was the last released film under the banner, Deep and Pradeep Productions.

Today’s songs from a Mythological film ‘Gaj Gauri’ (1958). The cast of this film consisted of Sulochana (Latkar), Ratnamala, Shahu Modak, Anant Kumar, Nana Palshikar and a host of mostly Marathi artistes plus an elephant named Ram Prasad.
When the talkie films era came to India, the early filmmakers tended to make films on folk tales and mythological stories in the first decade, i.e. 1931 to 1940. In the second decade of 1941 to 1950 many religious films were made. Some of them like ‘Ram Rajya’ (1943) being an all India blockbuster. And the third decade from 1951 to 1960 achieved the peak for mythological films made, worth calling it ‘The Golden Period of Religious films’. As many as 124 such films were made in this decade. From 1961 to 1970 and 1971 to 1980 were ok, but 1980 onwards there was a decline in such films and mythological films became scarce except some dubbed films from the South, where such films are made even today regularly. The television became a competition to this as many dharmik serials were shown on TV.

Today’s song is from a social film ‘Rangeeli’ of 1952.
1952 was a year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of film production, escalating rates of stars and music directors, establishment of star system in place of earlier studio system, increasing taxes, decreasing number of cinema halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. It was directed by Phani Mujumdar (husband of actress Monica Desai, the younger sister of actress Leela Desai), and the music was by Khayyam. This was his 4th film (3rd independent film) after he took the name Khayyam. Earlier he was using the pseudonym of Sharma ji. He gave music independently as Sharma ji in two films = ‘Parda’ and ‘Parivartan’ (in 1949) and working as part of the team Verma ji-Sharma ji, for 1 film – ‘Heer Ranjha’ in 1948.
[Editor Note : The full name of Verma ji of this duo is Rehman Verma. He worked as MD in Bombay till 1947, and then migrated to Pakistan when partition happened. As per Geet Kosh his name appears only in one film, ‘Heer Ranjha’ of 1948, as part of the duo Verma ji-Sharma Ji.]
