#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

Regulars on the blog are aware that, besides being music-lovers and Hindi movie buff, many of the blog members also love ‘cricket’ and ‘rail/train’, or if I am not wrong especially the ‘Indian Railways’.

Travelling by train is something which is always interesting. Most of us enjoy and love it. It brings back many memories from our childhood days too.

From 2017 to 2019 when I was in Kenya for a project, I badly missed train travel. The place where I stayed for almost nine months in Nairobi had a rail track passing behind my residential place that reminded me of our Indian trains every time a train passed by.

When I returned back to India after finishing the project I was supposed to visit close relatives residing in Maharashtra. I needed to visit other places too. I reached back in India in Dec’2019 end and before I could make plans for any visits, ‘pandemic’ arrived. The best plans of everyone came to a halt.

I had an an pportuniy to visit Mumbai in Feb’2020 when I had also booked a ticket, but due to some minor operation I had to ‘cancel’ it.

ye duniya ki rail musaafir
ye duniya ki rail musaafir
chhak chhak chalti jaaye re
pal pal aage badhhti jaaye ae
aage badhhti jaaye ae

Life moves on. The wheels of time keep ‘moving ahead’ as well.

As the effects of pandemic waned and the restrictions were lifted we had our elder daughter’s marriage in March’2022 at Vadodara. Most of our close relatives visited us and thus the long awaited get-together with relatives finally took place.

However, I keep longing to travel. Travelling became possible in April’2022 when I and my wife travelled to Nagpur to attend a marriage. I was working then and had got only two days leave so we had to return back immediately.

But this train travel after a long gap was still enjoyable though the railways had not started providing the ‘linens’ in the AC coaches till then.

saanson ki patri par bhaage
raah chale naa aadi
ismen lagey kismat ke pahiye
chal jaaye to gaadi baba

Finally I got this long vacation this year since 01st January’2023. My last contract with the employer ended on 31st Dec’2022, so I was a ‘free bird’ again.

We were already planning to travel to Nagpur and Parli Vaijnath in Maharashtra to meet in-laws, my mother at Parli, and other relatives. But in an unfortunate development my father in law had to be admitted to a Hospital in Nagpur and we had to rush there. That is how we travelled to Nagpur in Feb’2023 end. After alighting at Ajani Station (one station before Nagpur junction), we directly visited the Hospital where my father in law was admitted. After visiting him we went to their place which was our base station for the next 8/10 days.

My father in law got discharged from the hospital the next day so he was back at home and everybody was happy. My wife was happy and she took care of her father for his medicines, diet etc. till we were there.

Meanwhile I travelled to Amravati by road-with a friend from Nagpur- to meet our common friend who was with us in Kenya. This long awaited meeting was also happening after a long gap of more than three years.

Thereafter, I and my wife travelled to Chandrapur by bus to meet my maternal relatives and then back to Nagpur. This meeting also happened after a long gap of almost seven years (last we visited them when we were staying at Nagpur).

We visited some more relatives (including my cousins) staying in Nagpur and around (Koradi), and left for Parli-Vaijnath by a private travel bus. At Parli-Vaijnath we meet my mother, my younger brother and his family and stayed there for two days. From there we left by train for Shegaon via Akola.

We had to wait around half an hour at Akola station to board the next train for Shegaon. We stayed at Shegaon after visiting the holy place there and next morning started for Vadodara by train again.

So, after a fifteen days tour we arrived back at Vadodara. Meanwhile our younger daughter also travelled to Pune with her friends and she also reached arrived back at Vadodara the same day. We received her at the railway station as her train from Pune was supposed to arrive forty-five minutes after the arrival of our train.

All of us arrived back home after enjoyable journeys.

After a gap of two weeks we again travelled to Rajkot for my younger daughter’s project there and also to visit our elder daughter. After staying a Rajkot for a day we come back to Vadodara by train. Earlier we used to travel by our car to and fro, but this time we took a Volvo bus by state transport to go to Rajkot and we travelled by train in the return direction.

A trip to Kachchh was already overdue for me since 2019-20 for transfer of house to other owner there. (During this period my younger brother staying had visited us thrice including his visit for my daughter’s marriage).
This time I travelled alone by train to Gandhidham and took the ST bus for Mundra. That revived my memories of up/down travels when I was working near Adipur. This visit too was just for one day. I returned back the same day by means of a private transport service.

A pre-planned trip towards the North was already due as per schedule on April 11th.

Meanwhile, 24th March marked the third anniversary of ‘lock down in India’. Even a movie narrating the ‘lock down experiences/stories’ was released on that day, but it disappeared soon like it was never released. May be people were not interested to revisit those ‘horrifying sad stories and the struggle during the pandemic or lock down period’. This movie was also released on 24th March’2023.

While we were preparing for our next tour the news of ‘corona cases surfacing again’ had started doing the rounds.

We started our journey on 11th April for Pathankot by SVDK Exp. This was the first time that we had ‘planned’ a ‘vacation trip’ other than the visits we often took during summer vacations to visit our relatives in Maharashtra.

In this visit we were accompanied by the family of one of my friends. Examinations of their children had finished and so they wanted to travel. So they had requested us to accompany them.
This friend of mine had passed away due to cancer in 2012. He was one of my best friends whom I befriended in Kachchh. I named these three friends as my ‘3 idiots’. So this one ‘idiot’ left us too early at an young age. We were missing him a lot.

We were supposed to reach our destination i.e. Pathankot on 12th afternoon. But on the morning of 12th as we were still travelling there was a call from my brother-in-law from Nagpur that my father in law had left for his heavenly abode early morning. My wife was inconsolable and somehow we managed to calm her saying that we shall take a decision after reaching Pathankot or Dalhousie, where we had to stay. We were in a fix as we could not leave the other members i.e. my friend’s family alone.

After reaching Banikhet near Dalhousie from Pathankot we were informed that the funeral of my father in law had to be done the same day and it was not possible for us in any case to reach Nagpur to attend it. So finally we decided to go to Nagpur later for other rituals. The only consolation for us was that the we had met him in Feb-end and early March and our stay with him for a week at Nagpur, so the regret of not meeting him in recent past was not there..

We finished our trip to Dalhousie-Dharamshala-Amritsar and returned to Ahmedabad via Chandigarh on 17th.

As our tour was on many things were still happening around.

seth mahajan chor uchakke
is gaadi mein saath chaley
raat ko soye dhan loot jaaye
aur sawere haath maley
koyi bajaaye chain ki bansi
koyi neer bahaaye re
pal pal aage badhhti jaaye ae
aage badhhti jaaye ae

But the journey was on …

Ye duniyaa ki rail musaafir …

And, it always reminded us

is gaadi mein dekh naa pyaare
jaat paat ke phande ae
ek jagah par mil kar baithhe
sab bhagwaan ke bande baba
do din ka ye safar hai baba
mil jul kar kat jaaye re

***

My elder daughter arrived from Rajkot the next day and we all left for Nagpur on 19th April afternoon (by air this time). After attending all rituals there I and my wife stayed back at Nagpur while our daughters returned to Vadodara early on 22nd of April.

I with my wife travelled back by train again on 27th from Nagpur to Vadodara.

Meanwhile my younger daughter was detected with Covid-19 and she had to be self-quarantined. Now the elder daughter had to stay with her till we arrived back. The day we reach Vadodara, our elder daughter left for Rajkot.

Now there was a family function due at Rajkot on 2nd May. Only I could attend it, as my wife had to stay back with my younger daughter at home.

I travelled on 2nd morning by Volvo bus, attended the function in the afternoon, and arrived back on the same evening by train …

My younger daughter recovered fully from Covid after ten days and got fully fit.

5th May’2023 (News headline)…

“The head of the UN World Health Organization (WHO) has declared “with great hope” an end to COVID-19 as a public health emergency, stressing that it does not mean the disease is no longer a global threat.”

A cycle completed …

The song being covered in this post is from the movie “Sitaaraa-1955”. (this song was pending since ‘2018’).

It was directed by S.K. Ojha for ‘All India Pictures, Bombay’. P. N. Arora was the producer of this movie. It had Vaijayantimala, Pradeep Kumar, Shashikala, Om Prakash, Gope, Jayant, Beghampara, Pam Avtaar, Shyam Kumar, Amar, Helen, Mirza Musharraf, Protima Devi, Badri Prasad, Parasram, Munshi Munakka, Indira Bansal, T.N. Charlie and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 25.05.1955.

Five songs have already been posted earlier on the blog. Today I present the sixth song from this movie which is sung by Mohd Rafi.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.130
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (30 May 2013), three songs from three different movies (plus one Non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8147 O dilruba sun tujhpe mera dil nisaar hai Mastaani (1955) 5 songs covered out of 12 by now
8148 Tere poojan ko bhagwaan Shamshad Begam NFS(1934)
8149 Aap ne apna banaaya meharbaani aap ki Dulhan Ek Raat Ki(1966) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8150 Le matki aaja Radha ri Do Dil (1947) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now

We observe that two movies (out of three) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with only one unYIPPEED movie that is eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (30 May 2023).

That BTYC eligible movie is “Mastaani”(1955).

“Mastaani”(1955) was produced and directed by Dhirubhai Desai for Sharad Productions, Bombay. The movie had Nigar(Sultan),Manhar(Desai), Shahu Modak, Rathnamala, Niranjan Sharma, Agha, Suryakant,Seeta Bose, Santhosh Kumar, N.Bhushan, Dilip, Roop Kumar, Mishrilal, B.N.Bali etc in it. In addition there were guest appearances by Kamal Indira Bansal, Jankidass, Yashodhara and Bhagwan.

“Mastaani”(1955) had 12 songs in it. Five songs have been covered so far.

Here is the sixth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Some unidentified male voice utters “hoy hoy” a few times, but despite that, this song is very much a Shamshad Begam solo. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by B N Bali.

Only audio of the song is available. The song sounds like a dance song to me. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————

In this post I once again present a Geeta Dutt song, this time from the movie “Shri Ganesh Janma-1951”. I do not remember to have listened to this song earlier. Regulars on the blog are aware that I am a big Geeta Dutt fan. Whenever I get an opportunity to present a song sung by her I grab the opportunity with both hands and share that song here on the blog.

“Shri Ganesh Janma-1951” was a mythological movie directed by Jayant Desai. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 23.04.1951.

The cast of this movie included Nirupa Roy, Trilok Kapoor, Jeevan, Ulhas, Vasantrao Pahalwan, A. Shah, Shalini, Praveen Kumar, Master Dhuliya, Revashankar, Jugnu, Neerja, Neeru, Indira Mumtaz, Tiwari, Devchand More, Chhagan, Heera Singh, Nagotkar and others.

This movie has twelve songs all written by Bharat Vyas. Music for this movie was composed jointly by Khemchand Prakash and Manna Dey as mentioned in HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960).

Here is a brief about the songs of this movie that our respected Shri Arunkumar ji had mentioned in one of his posts while discussing earlier songs from this movie on the blog.

The film’s music was composed by Khemchand Prakash and Manna Dey together. There were 12 songs, but HFGK does not give individual credits for each song. Out of these 12 songs, not even a single song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar. In those days Lata usually avoided singing in Mythological films of B and C grades. Reason was, probably because the Producers of such films could not afford her price or maybe she was too busy with her assignments with more famous composers and bigger Banners. Such films were left for the second line singers like Asha, Geeta, Sulochana kadam, Sudha Malhotra and others of their ilk. A point to be noted, however, is that though a major singer of those times, Shamshad Begum never had qualms about singing in such films!

Following is the details of the two songs of this movie posted earlier on the blog.

S.No Song Title Singer/s Posted On
01 Shiv Shankar Daya Karo Geeta Dutt 14.02.2015
02 Naiyya paar lagaane waale Geeta Dutt, Manna Dey 21.08.2017

Today’s song is only the third song from this movie to be presented on the blog.

As mentioned above today’s song is sung by Geeta Dutt and lyrics are by Bharat Vyas.

Music is composed by Khemchand Prakash-Manna Dey.

(However, on the blog the credit for the music composer of the both the earlier songs posted is given to Manna Dey only, which I am not aware why?).

Today’s song is a nice song to listen to and is a ‘missing the beloved’ or ‘falling in love’ category songs.

Only the audio of this song is available.

Let us now enjoy the song …

Here is the sixth song from the movie to appear in the blog.

This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Gopal Singh Nepali is the lyricist. Music is composed by Chitragupta.

Only audio of the song is available. From the lyrics, it can be guessed that the song is picturised on a child artist who gets bereaved as his/her mother dies. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

This article is the 17800th song post in the blog.

Blog Day :

5426 Post No. : 17800

From this new year 2023, we made a couple of new year resolutions. Unlike most new year resolutions, we have so far stuck to them. One resolution was, we will have a blog Century post every month. Second resolution was we will have 100 songs every month.

We are nearly halfway into the year 2023. When the year 2022 ended, we had exactly 17300 song posts in the blog. Today (27 May 2023), nearly five months later, we are onto post number 17800 !

Yes, this post marks, 178th century post for the blog that is song post number 17800 for the blog ! So we are now quite close to the magic number of 18000 songs in the blog !

Most songs that we are covering non a days fall into certain predictable categories. One is Blog Ten Year Challenge songs, where lyrics are typically sent by Prakashchandra. In these posts, we look at the songs that were covered on the same date ten years ago. We then cover a song from movies that are still unYIPPEED and therefore their songs are available for discussion.

Other categories of songs are those that are written by Avinash Scrapwala. These songs either introduce new movies, or they are less heard songs of 1970s or 1980s. Then we also have articles by our senior contributors M/s Arunkumar Deshmukh and Sadanand Kamath. Peevesie’s mom sends articles that typically combine two or more anniversaries of artists. Then on rare occasions, we are pleasantly surprised to find long interesting articles by Sudhir jee.

I too would like to write a few long articles. But the resolutions of one blog century every month and 100 plus songs every month takes up considerable toll on me and I am unable to find quality time that is required for long articles that need time. Still I managed to write one long article (on World Happinees Rankings) that gave me considerable satisfaction. It was followed by an article on World Donkey Day. I wonder how I used to find time for such articles fairly frequently in the past. It is very essential that I regain that lost form and write such articles that give me satisfaction. Now that I have achieved the target of Blog Century post for this month, and the monthly century post too is within striking distance, I should write at least one such article. So I hope to come up with another long article on a topic that we all are familiar with still we lack indepth knowledge on the topic. Hopefully this article that I am planning will be as well received as my article on world Happiness rankings.

As is my wont, these days I decide on the century song at the last moment. When the blog reached nervous ninetees a couple of days ago, I began to wonder what song to go for. I looked at various landmarks of artists, various anniversaries etc. Finally I zeroed in to an individual landmark. I found that an artist was reaching his century mark in the blog. No, not the maiden century but what would be his final century in the blog keeping in view the total number of songs that he has sung in his career.

The artist was three songs short of the century. When I started searching for songs by him, I realised that searching for his not yet posted songs wss a tall order, seeing that most of his songs are already covered in the blog. Finally I managed to locate three songs. The song that I decided to use as the century song was certainly a fit song for the occasion, but somehow I was not satisfied with the choice. Then I came across another song. This song was a bit unusual and less known song. I had never heard this song before. So hopefully most music lovers too may find this song a “never heard” song. Moreover, it is a rather unusual genre of song for this artist. That is what makes this song special.

The artist is Talat Mehmood. He sang a little over 450 songs in his career. This post introduces his 400th song in the blog.

When one thinks of Talat Mehmood, one typically thinks of a ghazal sung in a soothing velvety voice. This song is sung in a soothing velvety voice but it is not a ghazal. Surprise surprise, it is a bhajan ! Here Talat Mehmood is singing the praises of Lord Ram. This bhajan is being sung by Lord Hanuman in the movie !

The movie is “Lanka Dahan”(1952). “Lanka Dahan”(1952) was produced by Mohanlal Vahay (?) and directed by Raja Nene for Rani Productions, Bombay. The movie had Ranjana, Paro, Sapru, Ranjeet Kumari, Vijay Bali, Brij Kumar, Leela Gupte, Usha Marathe (Usha Kiran), S K Singh, Bachchalal Patel, Gadadhar Sharma, Bhujbal Singh, Battu, Minni etc in it.

This mythological film based on Ramayana had eight songs in it. One song has been covered in the past. Here is the second song from “Lanka Dahan”(1952). This song, a forgotten gem is sung by Talat Mehmood. S P Kalla is the lyricist. Music is composed by Hansraj Bahl.

Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

With this song, the blog now has 17800 songs and Talat Mehmood now has 400 songs in the blog. Talat Mehmood now has just over 50 more songs to go in the blog.

I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued and sustained support and encouragement which has enabled this musical bandwagon to keep going on and hope. Here is hoping that this musical bandwagon will continue to roll and we will keep reaching many more destinations during this journey, and will continue to discover many musical gems along the way.

Thinking of musical gems, here is one such musical gem. Let us enjoy and savour this lovely bhajan.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.128
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (27 May 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
8132 Insaan tu insaan hai Sandesh (1952) Movie made its debut with this song. 7 songs covered out of 8 songs by now
8133 Zindagi dulhan hai ek raat ki Dulhan Ek Raat Ki (1966) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8134 Ameeron ke Bhagwaan gareebon ko sataaya na karo Mastaani(1955) 4 songs covered out of 12 by now
8135 Aayi re khilaunewaali aayi Taangewaala (1972) 5 songs covered out of 7 by now
8136 Bheegi bheegi raaton mein Ajnabi (1974) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now
8137 Main kaun sa geet sunaaun Dillagi (1978) Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now

We observe that three movies (out of six) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with three unYIPPEED movies that re eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (27 May 2023).

“Mastaani”(1955) is one of the BTYC eligible movies today.

“Mastaani”(1955) was produced and directed by Dhirubhai Desai for Sharad Productions, Bombay. The movie had Nigar(Sultan), Manhar(Desai), Shahu Modak, Rathnamala, Niranjan Sharma, Agha, Suryakant,Seeta Bose, Santhosh Kumar, N.Bhushan, Dilip, Roop Kumar, Mishrilal, B.N.Bali etc in it. In addition there were guest appearances by Kamal Indira Bansal, Jankidass, Yashodhara and Bhagwan.

“Mastaani”(1955) had 12 songs in it. Four songs have been covered so far.

Here is the fifth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and female chorus. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by B N Bali.

Only audio of the song is available. The song sounds like a “Tonga” song where a lady and her sahelis are riding a tonga, which is running a bit too fast for the lady who requests the gaadee waala to reduce the speed a bit. The song does not record the response of the tonga driver. It is the response of the sahelis only that is recorded in the song. 🙂

I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Blog Day :

Today’s song is from a dubbed film Jeevan Nauka-1952.

A cursory look at the Film Index book tells us that that the word JEEVAN is a favourite with film makers.As many as 36 Talkie films were made till 2012 with the word Jeevan at the Title’s beginning. Surprisingly I did not find a single Silent movie title with this word. This of course is not an indication in any way, because silent films used to have several titles in different states for the same film. (Just for the records, the word most used in the Hindi film titles happens to be ” Ek”, which is used in 206 film titles from 1931 to 2012 ! ).

Today’s film Jeevan Nauka-1952 is a dubbed Malayalam film. The original film name was Jeevithan Nauka-1951. This film is hailed as the first ever mega Hit Malayalam film. This film was made in Tamil and Telugu at the same time, with the original. The Hindi dubbed version came after one year, in 1952.

The First Talkie film in

The first talkie film in the language Movie Year
Hindi Alam Ara 1931
Tamil Kalidas 1931
Bangla Jamai Sashti 1931
Marathi Ayodhyecha Raja 1932
Telugu Bhakta Prahlada 1932
Gujarati Narsi Mehta 1932
Indian English Karma 1933
Kannada Bhakta Dhruv/Sati Sulochana 1934
Oriya Seeta Vivah 1934
Punjabi Sheila 1935
Assamese Joymoti 1935
Malayalam Balan 1938

You can see that while Hindi, Tamil and Bangla Talkie films came in 1931, Telugu in 1932, Kannada in 1934, the Malayalam film came only in 1938. Compared to Tamil and Telugu, the Kannada and Malayalam film industries were slow in development.

Just to compare, there were 15 Kannada films made in the 1930’s decade, 21 films in the 40’s and 70 films in the 50’s decade. This was the decade when Dr. Rajkumar appeared in Kannada films and its picture changed.

Malayalam films – only 2 silent films in the 30’s. The first silent film Vigath kumaran started shooting in 1928 but was finally released on 23-10-1930. The other silent film was Marthanda Varma-1933. Till 1947, there were only 3 Malayalm Talkie films. In the 50’s decade-6 films, in 60’s-30 films, in 70’s-40 and in the 80’s decade 127 talkie films. This was the decade when malayalam films became ‘Grown up’ and prospered. In the next 10 years Malayalam films won many national awards too !

Initially, like other South Indian films, Malayalam films depended on Hindi songs to copy into their films. The first mega hit film of Malayalam- Jeevithan Nouka-1951 had 14 songs and ALL were copies of popular Hindi songs. For example , it had a song copied from “Suhani raat dhal chuki” from the film Dulari-1949. Another song was copied from “Hawa mein udta jaaye” from the film Barsaat-1949.

However, when the Hindi version was dubbed, 2 MDs from Hindi were appointed. They were Shankar rao Vyas and Pt. Gobind Ram. They ensured that all the 13 songs of this film had new tunes. Both the MDs were on their waning side of careers, but all songs were good. The singers were Manna Dey, Rafi, Asha and Shamshad. Today’s song is the 4th song to appear here.

Since the film was dubbed, all the cast and the director was Malayalam, about whom we know not anything. Only MDs, Lyricists and the singers were from the Hindi industry. Today’s song is composed by Pt. Gobind Ram.

Pandit Gobindram 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. We 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, by my count, only second toGyan 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 an enormous contribution 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 Ji, and also introduced great singer Zeenat Begum to films. He has about 30 films to his credit and each one had equally superb music. 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 started his career with Jeevan Jyoti (1937), which starred Shakuntala Bai, R. L. Monge and Urmila Devi. The film unfortunately went unnoticed. This was followed by another unsuccessful film, Khooni Jadoogar (1939). The 1940s was the true decade for Gobindram Ji. His Punjabi filmography is not properly available, 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 , where she beautifully sang the traditional Dadra ‘Inhin Logon Ne Le Leena Dupatta Mora’ with Aziz , 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 ‘Is Jag Ke Sundar Natak Ka’,the first solo film song of Zohrabai from 1941 to 1950, and a beautiful duet by Ghulam Haider and Umraozia Begum , ‘Main Hoon Rani Ek Sunehri Nagri Ki’.

But it was his next film, Mangti (1942) in Punjabi, which made him one of the most sought after music directors of the 1940s. This was the debut film for top Lahori singer Zeenat Begum , apart from being the first film for famous heroine Mumtaz Shanti , and took both of them as well as Gobindram to the top notch. This film, which went on to become the first silver jubilee Punjabi film, played an important role in popularising Punjabi folk tunes and the use of a mix of original Hindi film music and Punjabi folk music in films. ‘Aawe Chan We’, ‘Mainoon Suttiyan Neend Na Aayi’, ‘Sapne Wich Mahi Aaya, ‘Tere Daras Di Pyasi’ and ‘Ud Ja Bholeya Panchiya’ (with Nandlal Nurpuri ) were some memorably melodious songs in which Zeenat shone under Gobindram . It is also worth remembering for being the first ever South Asian film to have a female Qawwali, ‘Baanke Nainanwaleya, Nainan Milanda’ by Zeenat and Rehmat Bai , a very enjoyable one. This legacy was continued only 3 years later in Hindi films, with the famous Qawwali of Zeenat (1945), ‘Aahein Na Bhareen’ (Noor Jehan , Zohrabai , Kalyanibai ). Other songs in this film were by the talented Shamshad Begum and Rehmat Bai .

Gobindram Ji worked with more than 30 lyricists during his career. With 56 songs in 8 films, his collaboration was the highest with Ishwar Chandra Kapoor . The films where the two worked together were Bholi, Chor, Doosri Shadi, Ghar Ki Izzat, Maa Ka Pyaar, Naseeb, Ratnavali and Sassi Punnu. Some of the other prominent lyricists he worked with include Bharat Vyas (Chor, Jalpari, Jeevan Nauka, Raj Mukut), Ram Murti Chaturvedi (Chor, Naseeb, Parinde, Ratnavali), Ramesh Gupta (Hamara Sansar, Jeevan Nauka), and Qamar Jalalabadi (Pagli, Sahara, Sarkar).

The story of the film was…..

Soman (Thikkurissi) is brought up by his elder brother Raju (Sebastian Kunjukunju Bhagavthar) and his shrewish wife Janu (Pankajavalli). Soman is in love with Lakshmi (B. S. Saroja), the daughter of a poor village performer Kaniyan (Adhimoolam) who belongs to a lower caste. Raju, employed by the zamindar (Nanukuttan) and Janu resent the inter-caste marriage between Soman and Lakshmi.

Lakshmi gives birth to a son and in the meanwhile Soman goes to the city in search of a job. Lakshmi who is left behind in the village faces harassment at the hands of the villagers. In the city, Soman is hit by a car driven by a rich young woman who takes him home and also employs him as the manager of her estate. Janu starts receiving Soman’s letters and remittances which start arriving. Janu does this by impersonating Lakshmi with the connivance of her brother Shanku (S.P.Pillai).

Meanwhile Lakshmi leaves the village in search of Soman. During her wanderings Lakshmi sees her husband with a woman and suspects him of being disloyal. The young woman is none other than his employer. Lakshmi tries to kill her child and commit suicide but what saves her is the instinct of motherhood. Lakshmi gets together a band of beggars and organises a home for them. She uses her talent as an actress and collects funds for the home by staging plays. Back in the village life turns its tables on Raju and Janu, while her brother Shanku is killed. The real culprits, the zamindar’s advocate and his group of people mislead the police implicating Soman in the murder. During one of her plays, Lakshmi recognises her husband who is about to be arrested on the trumped up charge. Explanations follow and Soman is absolved of the false charge and the couple are reunited. Raju is helped out by Soman. Janu who has now become a beggar is recognised by Lakshmi. Regardless of what has happened in the past, Lakshmi takes Janu home. And all ends well.

Today’s song is a duet sung by Rafi and Shamshad.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 125
————————————————————————————–

Today’s song under the ‘blog ten year challenge 2013-2023’ is from the movie ‘Post Master-1955’.

Normally, it is Atul ji who is regularly presenting songs under ‘blog ten-year challenge’ with Prakash ji contributing the lyrics. However when I noticed this movie ‘Post Master’ falling under this ‘challenge’ I requested Prakash ji to allow me to send this song post.

It was because I had sent the lyrics for the first song from this movie ten years back in ‘2013’ when I was a ‘new member’ on the blog as a ‘lyrics contributor’. When I shared the lyrics for the first song from this movie I was not aware about the details of this movie ‘Post Master’ then. Now equipped with HFGK I wish to update the information about this movie on the blog and also share it’s second song (since so far the song shared in ‘2013’ remains as the only song from this movie posted on the blog.).

Well, first of all we need to update that this movie ‘Post Master’ is a ‘Un-released’ movie of the fifties. While presenting the first song from this movie on the blog Shri Atul ji had rightly mentioned,

“Post Master” (1955) was a movie I had never heard about. In fact, I wonder if this movie figures in the list of movies released in 1955.

Yes, this movie does not figure in the movies released. As per HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960) this movie was not released at all. The Geet Kosh also mentions that the recording of the songs of this movie was completed in November’1955.

There is no information provided in the Geet Kosh about the producer, director and cast of this movie except that it was a ‘social genre’ movie under the banners of ‘Shri R.B. Productions’.

Geet Kosh lists six songs for this movie with a possibility of more songs (not known) in this movie.

Verma Malik is the lyricist and Ram Ganguly is the music composer for this movie.

Today we will listen to the second song from this movie.

Before that, let us have a look for the songs/movies represented on the blog ten years back on this day i.e. 26.05.2013.

Only three songs were posted on this day ten years back (though the average rate of songs per day for May’2013 was an impressive 4.50 songs per day ).

Song Title Name & Year of the movie Remarks
Aa gayi hai ishq pe bahaar Saaqi-1952 All songs covered
Main hoon ek hawaa ka jhonka Post Master-1955 1 of 06 songs posted
Hai bahut dinon ki baat Bhaabhi-1957 All songs covered

It can be seen from the above table that two movies (out of three movies represented on the blog on 26.05.2013) namely ‘Saaqi-1952’ and ‘Bhaabhi-1957’ have already been Yippeeee’ed’ on the blog.

So, only one movie i.e. ‘Post Master’ is eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (26 May 2023).

Today’s song is a nice ‘jovial’ song. It is sung by Madhubala Zaveri. Lyrics are by Verma Malik and music is composed by Ram Ganguly.

Let us now enjoy this song.


Song-Baalam najariya ladaaye hat hat ke (Post Master)(UR)(1955) Singer-Madhubala Zaveri, Lyrics-Verma Malik, MD-Ram Ganguly

Lyrics

muhabbat haath baandhe
khadi ee hai
zaraa thhehar jaao
raat armaanon se ae bhari hai
zaraa thhehar jaao o
aa aa aa aa aa

baalam najariyaa
ladaaye hat hat ke
baalam najariyaa
ladaaye hat hat ke
aanchal mein reh gayi
sharam se lipat ke
aanchal mein reh gayi
sharam se lipat ke
baalam najariyaa re
haaye ae

aankhon ki raahon se
aa jaao chup chup
aankhon ki raahon se
aa jaao chup chup
duniyaa hai zaalim
o baalam ji chup chup
baalam ji chup chup
pakdo na bainyyaa
pakdo na bainyyaa
meri ghoonghat ulat ke
haaye re raamaa aa
haaye re raamaa
pakdo na bainyyaa
meri ghoonghat ulat ke
aanchal mein reh gayi
sharam se lipat ke
baalam najariyaa re
haaye ae

dekho ji baatein
karo naa akad ke ae
dekho ji baatein
karo naa akad ke
roko naa mujhko
dupatta pakad ke
dupatta pakad ke
khelo naa aa
khelo naa zulfon mein
rasiyaa simat ke
haaye re raamaa aa
haaye re raamaa
khelo naa zulfon mein
rasiyaa simat ke
aanchal mein reh gayi
sharam se lipat ke
baalam najariyaa re
haaye ae

akeli samajh ke
karo naa ishaare ae
akeli samajh ke
karo naa ishaare ae
keh do jo hai baat
dil mein tumhaare ae
dil mein tumhaare
aataa hai
aataa hai dar
yoon naa dekho palat ke
haaye re raamaa aa
haaye re raamaa
aataa hai dar
yoon naa dekho palat ke
aanchal mein reh gayi
sharam se lipat ke
aanchal mein reh gayi
sharam se lipat ke
