Donon ke dil hain majboor ‘finance’ se … film hi release naa ho to ham kya karein. 😊

Today’s song is a lovely duet song penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri. But the irony of this song is that it never came on the screen despite being recorded (and shot*) for not one but two different movies. However, in its second edition the male singer was different and credit for music direction was also given to only one of the composers and not to the ‘duo’ of composers as was the case in the older movie.

Hullo Atuldom

A few months back our in-house encyclopedia a.k.a Shri. Arunkumar Deshmukhji had given us a post. This post gave us information about the various actors, down the years, who were connected to successful artists of the film industry but who’s career could not proceed beyond their first few films. That list included Raj Kapoor’s son Rajeev Kapoor, Premnath’s brothers etc. I can add numerous names of the current generation, who had successful first films & medium-success in their next few films but could not produce hit films later in their career- IMO the biggest example being Kumar Gaurav (no hard feelings, I was mighty impressed by him in “Love Story” so many years back.

Today’s song is from the film Daasi-1944.

This film was made by Pradhan films, Lahore.

In the Pre-Partition period, there were some important film centres like Bombay, Poona, Kolhapur, Calcutta and Lahore, as far as Hindi/Urdu films were concerned. Though comparatively Lahore was the youngest center, having made its first silent film only in 1924, experts across the border and in India claim that Lahore had the potential of becoming, if not bigger, but as big a center as Bombay ! In that era Lahore did make a lot of contribution in the field of acting, direction and music. Several experts have written long articles on Lahore’s standing in Hindi and Punjabi film making.

“Sirf Tum”- 1999 released; was a pure, soft romantic film. It was different from regular love stories. It had Sanjay Kapoor playing Deepak Rai & Priya Gill played Aarti. They never meet each other in person till the last scene. They get to know of each other through a strange incident. Deepak finds a bag/ envelope containing a girl’s certificates, bio-data etc. He finds the girl’s address and sends it by speed-post to her. Aarti is relieved on getting her documents & she sends him a “thank you” letter. This starts a chain of letters between the two. Deepak is employed in a firm that is headed by Neha (Sushmita Sen). She is impressed by Deepak and his straight-forwardness. She reveals her feelings for Deepak – to him. But he tells her that he is in love with a girl called Aarti whom he has never met. It is a story of “love that starts from the heart & not from the eye”.

It is a well known fact among regulars of this blog that the 5000th song of this song was the all time iconic qawwaali song Hamen to loot liya mil ke husn waalon ne from a B grade movie called “al Hilaal”(1958). This iconic qawwaali single handedly ensured that the name of “Al Hilal”(1958), instead of getting forgotten, would become immortal, even though the movie itself was nothing extraordinary..
