This song is the song post number 17600 of the blog

Blog Day :

5366 Post No. : 17600 Movie Count :

4731

What do people do when new year begins ? They make new year resolutions. 🙂

When the year 2023 began, we too made some new year resolutions for the blog. 🙂

Unlike the fate of most such resolutions, we have managed to stick to our new year resolutions thus far.

Following were these resolutions:-
(1) Reach one Blog century every month.
(2) Post at least 100 songs every calendar month.

We are into the third month of the year 2023. We achieved these targets in January and february.

Month Date on which blog century was reached Number of posts in the month
January 2023 28 January 2023 106
February 2023 25 February 2023 100

We are now onto march 2023. When the previous day ended, the song count was 17597. So today on 28 march 2023, three songs were required to be posted to reach the song post mark of 17600 .

As is my wont these days, I was not sure till the last moment what song is to be used as the century song for the blog. For quite some time, I considered using 100th song post of Aarzoo Lucknowi as the blog century post. But I could not locate a suitable song befitting the occasion. Nevertheless, I decided that the Aarzoo Lucknowi century song would be one of the three songs to be covered on the day.

That gave me another idea. Aarzoo Lucknowi post is a century post. The blog century post is a century post. The song between these songs should be a century post as well. I had remembered that the tally for songs from the year 1970 was very close to 400 marks. I hoped that the figure had not touched 400. I checked up and I was relieved to know that figure was at 399. Just what the doctor ordered. 🙂

But then all of a sudden I found a contribution in my e mail. It was a post for the remembrance anniversary that fell today itself. But the song was from some other year. So I asked the contributor (our ever enthusiastic contributor Avinash Scrapwala) to replace the song with a song from 1970. He promptly changed the writeup and the song. So the plan of posting three century posts stayed on track. 🙂

With song posts number 17598 and 17599 out of the way, it is time for the song post number 17600. What song to post ?

I recalled that Prakashchandra had recently sent the lyrics of a song. While most of his contributions are Blog Ten Year Challenge contributions these days, he had sent this song to be used at a suitable occasion. He had described this song as a rare song. If he considers a song as rare then the song must be rare indeed. And that is what we often look for in a blog century post.

In addition to rarity, the song should be a nice song to listen to. This is a song that few people may have heard before, because this song is meant to be used in a movie that did not even get made and was shelved. But not before a few songs meant for the movie were recorded !

According to HFGK, this song is from a shelved movie called ‘Baghaawat’ (1964). It was meant to be a production of Friends Film Corporation, Bombay. Three songs from this movie were recorded according to HFGK.

The song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur and female chorus. Music director is Sardar Singh. He is an unknown entity, but we do have one song composition from him in the blog – “Khud b Khud Ishq Ka Izhaar Hua Jaata Hai“, a song from the 1966 film ‘Professor Aur Jaadugar’. It is the lyricist who is totally unknown. He is called Suroor Lucknowi. Unlike Aarzoo Lucknowi, whose 100th song as a lyricist was covered earlier in the day, this lyricist Suroor Lucknowi seemingly vanished out in thin air after penning this song. This is how rare and special this song is.

Here is this special song from a shelved and therefore unreleased movie called ‘Baghaawat’ (1964). The song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur and chorus. Suroor Lucknowi is the lyricist. Sardar Singh is the music composer. All three S !

I take this opportunity to thank one and all for their continued support and encouragement. That support and encouragement is the fuel that has kept this musical bandwagon going for more than 14 years. Here is hoping that we will continue to see many more blog centuries and other milestones as we keep exploring as yet unexplored songs. There is little doubt in our mind that this musical journey is going to be as enjoyable as it has so far been.

छाई हुई बहारें
(आ हा)
क्यों गीत गा रही हैं
(ओ हो)
फूलों की ये कतारें
क्यों मुस्कुरा रही हैं
हाँ हाँ तेरा दिल जो ले गया है
उसको बुला रही हैं
हाँ हाँ तेरा दिल जो ले गया है
उसको बुला रही हैं
छाई हुई बहारें..एं..एं

कैसा था वो दीवाना
खुद से हुआ बेगाना
खुद से हुआ बेगाना
मिलते ही हाए नज़रें
दिल हो गया निशाना
दिल हो गया निशाना
कह दो ना अब हमें वो
नज़रों के तीर मारे

नज़रों के तीर मारे
छाई हुई बहारें..एं..एं

कलियों की बेज़ुबानी
मेरी हसीं जवानी
कहती है आज दिल से
दोहराओ वो कहानी..ई..ई
दोहराओ वो कहानी
सुन के जिसे सजनवा

छाई हुई बहारें..एं..एं

बातों में उसकी ऐसा
जादू भरा हुआ है

बोलुंगी अब ना उस से
कह दूँगी बेवफा है
कह दूँगी बेवफा है
रूठी हुई है गोरी
चल हम उसे पुकारें
रूठी हुई है गोरी
चल हम उसे पुकारें

छाई हुई बहारें

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————

Today 28th March 2023 is the ‘thirty-fifth’ ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of a ‘multi-faceted’ personality of Hindi Film Industry. He was an actor-singer-writer-director and music composer. We are paying our tributes to Shri Nath Tripathi, better known to us as S.N. Tripathi.

He was born on 14.03.1913 and he passed away on 28th March’1988.

On this occasion I present a song from a movie where the music was composed by S.N. Tripathi.

This movie is ‘Koi Ghulam Nahin-1970’. It was directed by K. Shankar for ‘MGR Pictures, Madras’.

It had M.G. Ramchandran, Ashokan, Manohar, Cho, Jailalitha, Pandhari Bai, Jyothilakshami, Baby Rani and others.

This movie seems to be a movie dubbed in Hindi language (as also mentioned by our Respected Sudhir ji while presenting the first song from the movie on the blog on 14.03.2019.

‘Koi Ghulam Nahin-1970’ has six songs written by Saraswati Kumar ‘Deepak’ and composed by S.N. Tripathi.

Asha Bhonsle, Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, and P. Susheela had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

For today’s presentation I have selected a song sung by Manna Dey (I was thinking for a song by Manna Dey to present since last few days). Only the audio of this song is available.

As mentioned above lyrics are by Saraswati Kumar ‘Deepak’ and music is composed by S.N. Tripathi.

I would request readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

Let us now listen to this song composed by S.N. Tripathi and pay our tributes to him!!!

This song is the 400th song in the blog from movies that were released in the year 1970.


Song-Ye maaya hai is maaya se kyaa paayega (Koi Ghulaam Nahin)(1970) Singer-Manna Dey, Lyrics-Saraswati Kumar Deepak,MD-S N Tripathi

Lyrics

is maaya se kya paayega
ye maaya hai

raat kehti hai paagal ke
behke kadam
aise gupchup dekhti
aao na tum
khoya man

hanstaa chhup chhup
khoya man

hanstaa chhup chhup
raat tab kya kahe
jab donon gupchup

bhool neeti ko
khel mein khoyaa huaa
arey chhal mein
kapat mein tu behkaa huaa
bhool neeti ko

is maaya se kya paayega aa

kis parchhaayi mein
aise uljhaa huaa
ik raahi galat raah chaltaa huaa
kis parchhaayi mein
aise uljhaa huaa
ik raahi galat raah chaltaa huaa
arey ab meri maan le
khud ko pehchaan
ab meri maan le
khud ko pehchaan
kis dilbar se pyaar
kar baithhaa tu
ye maaya hai
ye maaya hai ae
is maaya se kya paayega aa

This article marks the 100th song of Aarzoo Lucknowi in the blog as a lyricist.

Blog Day :

5366 Post No. : 17598

‘Roti’(1942) was directed by Mehboob Khan for Mehboob Productions, Bombay. The movie had Chandramohan, Sheikh Mukhtar, Sitaaraa Devi, Akhtari Fayzabadi, Ashraf Khan, Kayam Ali, Jamshedji, Misra,Wasker, Chobeji, Nawab, Agha Jani etc. in it.

‘Roti’ (1942) had 14 songs in it. Ten songs have been covered so far.

Here is the 11th song from movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Akhtari Faizabadi. Aarzoo Lucknowi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.

Akhtari Faizabadi, who acted as well as sang her songs in the movie, later went on to become a legendary ghazal singer – “Malika e Ghazal” under the name Begum Akhtar. She was a recipient of Sangeet Natak Academy award in 1972. She was also a recipient of Padma Shree and Padma Bhushan.

The movie has three lyricists, namely Aarzoo Lucknavi, Dr.Safdar ‘Aah’ Sitapuri and Behzad Lucknawi. This song is penned by Aarzoo Lucknowi.

Aarzoo Lucknowi (1874 – 16 April 1951) was born as Sayyad Anwar Husain Kazmi in Lucknow. It was his guru Ustaad Jalaal Lucknowi who suggested to him to use Aazoo Lucknowi as his pen name.

Miss Jahananra Kajjan, the famous singer of those days (1920s), recommended the name of Aarzoo Lucknowi to Maadan Theatres owner. That is how Aarzoo Lucknowi came to Calcutta (now Kolkata) and began his career writing plays for Madan Theatres. In 1931, when movies began to talk and the Talkies era began, Aarzoo Lucknowi began to write lyrics for Hindi movies.

For the first decade, he was active in Calcutta. There, he wrote songs for movies like ’Manzil’ (1936), ‘Khudaai Khidmatgaar’ (1937), ‘Mukti’ (1937), ‘Abhaagin’ (1938), ‘Adhikaar’ (1938), ‘Ban Ki Chidiya’ (1938), ‘Street Singer’ (1938), ‘Dushman’ (1939), ’Jawaani Ki Reet’ (1939), ‘Kapaal Kundla’ (1939), ‘Aandhi’ (1940), ‘Haar Jeet’ (1940), ‘Nartaki’ (1940), ‘Qaidi’ (1940), ‘Doctor’ (1941), ‘Lagan’ (1941), ‘Maasoom’ (1941) etc.

Then he shifted base to Bombay. Here he penned lyrics from movies such as ‘Jawaani’ (1942), ‘Lala Ji’ (1942), ‘Roti’ (1942), ‘Yaad’ (1942), ’Fashion’ (1943), ‘Nai Zindagi’ (1943), ‘Najma’ (1943), ‘Paraaya Dhan’ (1943), ‘Parakh’ (1944), ‘Milan’ (1946), ‘Rangbhoomi’ (1946), ‘Shaahkaar’ (1947), ‘Tohfa’ (1947), ‘Laal Dupatta’ (1948), ‘Shauhar’ (1948), ‘Duniya’ (1949),’Raat Ki Raani’ (1949), ‘Saawan Aaya Re’ (1949), ‘Sipahiya’ (1949), ‘Beqasoor’ (1950), ‘Khel’ (1950), etc.

To my mind, he is arguably the first lyricist to pen a tonga song, car song and rail song in HFM. All these songs were in ‘Doctor’ (1941).

On out Blog, Aarzoo Lucknow has been in the ‘nervous ninetees’ since 17 June 2020 (day 4372 of the blog). He has spent 996 days on nineties ! Not any longer. Here is his 100th song in the blog.

Music of this song is composed by Anil Biswas. It was the first movie of Aarzoo Lucknowi with Anil Biswas. Subsequently they would collaborate in ‘Jawaani’ (1942), ‘Milan’ (1946) and ‘Beqasoor’ (1950) as well.

Let us listen to this song from ‘Roti’ (1942). Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

It may sound like just another song, but it is a song that marks the entry of yet another artist into the blog century club. Aarzoo Lucknowi becomes the 34th lyricist and 96th artist overall to complete century of songs in the blog.

Aise Kyun (Ghazal-ish Version)
—————————————-
Continuing from my previous post, Netflix’s OTT series Mismatched had it’s second season release on 14th October 2022. Season 2 is also directed by Akarsh Khurana and Nipun Dharmadhikari and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, featuring Prajakta Koli, Rohit Saraf, Vihaan Samat, Taaruk Raina, Muskkaan Jaferi, Devyani Shorey, Rannvijay Singh, and Vidya Malvade.

I was not aware of the second season coming out. This second season had a second version of Aise Kyun coming out this time in a Ghazal-ish format with the main singing being done by Rekha Bharadwaj who has taken the song to another level. Another artist would not have been able to do the same justice to it. I came across the song one day in an Instagram reel and thereafter was listening to this song on loop. Rekha ji is a wonderful singer about whom I would definitely like to take opportunity to talk a bit about here.

Rekha is more known as the better half of ace composer Vishal Bharadwaj but beyond that She is a very competent singer with a unique voice quality and texture. She gives her own touch to the songs She gets which are lapped up very lovingly by her listeners. No wonder, She has got so much appreciation as well as awards. For many film goers, they noticed her only due to hit songs, Beedi Jalayi Le and Namak Ishq Ka in Omkara(2006) but for me it had happened many years before it. I still vividly recall going to watch the movie Chachi 420 in 1997 in the Chandragupt Talkies in my hometown Indore with my brother. It was a very big cinema hall to which I used to often go for advance bookings and first-day-first show viewing. Though it may not be around any more but I remember the wonderful times spent there watching lots of hit movies and songs.

Towards the end of the movie, when Tabu is running away from Kamal Haasan, we had Rekha Bharadwaj singing a brilliant song ‘Ek Woh Din Bhi The’. This movie had lovely songs which were the kind that don’t make a very great impact on the first listen but gradually grow onto you. This film deserves a post to itself and is yet to make it’s debut on the blog. I shall take it up in one of my next posts with this song.

Later I heard her album ‘Ishqa Ishqa’ after which I am always on the look out for new released songs sung by her. She is one of the fabulous artists these days who need more songs coming to them. It is a real pity that though our blog has over 17500 songs, only one song featuring Rekha ji is on the blog (Sasural Genda Phool from Delhi 6). I would love to do a few posts of her songs if readers are interested.

This song is about those meaningful silences as mentioned on the Netflix Youtube Channel. Lyricist Raj Shekhar has done a great job making a ‘Ghazal’ version of this song with so many gem of lines in it (can’t get over some lines like ‘Ghar Sa Lagta Hai’, ‘Aise Kyun Uske Honthon Par Achcha Lagta Hai Apna Naam’, ‘Aise Kyun Kuchh Bhi Who Bole Mann Mein Ghulta Hai Zaafraan’ and ‘Beeti Baaton Se Dil Ko Dukhaana Zaroori Hai Kya’).

Raj Shekhar is an artist who has not got as much limelight compared to some of his contemporaries. He started his film career as an assistant director to Anand L Rai. He also assisted Abbas Tyrewala in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na and Sujoy Ghosh in Home Delivery.

It was in Anand L Rai’s film ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ in 2011 in which he made his debut as a lyricist. At the time of it’s release it’s song ‘Jugni’ had been loved by me. After that he next gave lyrics for this movie’s sequel ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ in 2015. Tanu Weds Manu has only one song posted on the blog which too is about reuse of Kajra Mohabbatwala from Kismat in the film while the sequel is yet to make debut (which incidentally had Geeta Dutt’s Ja Ja Bewafa being reused. It’s so great to hear Shamshad ji and Geeta ji’s songs being reused in films!).

I will keep these films as candidates for future posts. Raj Shekhar has done songs for some other movies like Qarib Qarib Single, Veere Di Wedding, Tumbbad, Hichki, Meri Nimmo, Uri: The Surgical Strike, Jabariya Jodi, Saand Ki Aankh, Bamfaad, Khaali Peeli, Raat Akeli Hai, Meenakshi Sundareshwar, Good Luck Jerry and Nazar Andaaz. Hope Raj Shekhar will get more songs and more hits in the days to come.

The composer Anurag Saikia + Team have done a great job to make this a wonderful song along with Rekha ji and Raj Shekhar.

Without taking up more time, I would like to leave the song for your listening pleasure.

Lyrics

Aise Kyun
Kuchh To Likhti Hoon
Likh Ke Mitaati Hoon Main Raat Bhar
Aise Kyun
Baaten Khud Ki Hi
Khud Se Chhipaati Hoon Main Aaj Kal
Par Yeh Sab Sochna
Dil Ko Yun Kholna
Sab Kuchh Keh Kar Hi

Zaroori Hai Kya
Aise Kyun

Aise Kyun Kuchh Bole Na
Aise Kyun Kuchh Bole Na

Aise Kyun
Uske Honthon Pe
Achcha Lagta Hai Mera Naam
Aise Kyun
Kuchh Bhi Bole Wo
Mann Mein Ghulta Hai
Zaafraan
Girta Hai Gulmohar
Khwabon Mein Raat Bhar
Aise Khwabon Se Baahar Nikalna
Zaroori Hai Kya aa aa
Aise Kyun
Haan Kyun
Haan Kyun
Woh Kuchh Bole Na
Aise Kyun
Haan Kyun
Haan Kyun
Woh Kuchh Bole Na

Aksar Tumse Mil kar Mujhko
Ghar Sa Lagta Hai
Phir Kyun Dil Hi Dil Mein Koi
Darr Sa Lagta Hai

Aksar Tumse Milkar Mujhko
Ghar Sa Lagta Hai
Phir Kyun Dil Hi Dil Mein Koi
Darr Sa Lagta Hai
Beeta Jo Vaakya
Sochoon Main Kyun Bhala
Beeti Baaton Se Dil Ko Dukhaana
Zaroori Hai Kya aa aa
Aise Kyun
Haan Kyun
Haan Kyun
Woh Kuchh Bole Na
Aise Kyun
Haan Kyun
Haan Kyun
Woh Kuchh Bole Na aa aa

Devnagari script Lyrics (by Gajendra Khanna)
——————————

ऐसे क्यूँ
कुछ तो लिखती हूँ
लिख के मिटाती हूँ
मैं रात भर
ऐसे क्यूँ
बातें खुद की ही
खुद से छुपाती हूँ
मैं आज कल
पर ये सब सोचना
दिल को यूँ खोलना
सब कुछ कह कर ही
सब को बताना
ज़रूरी है क्या
ऐसे क्यूँ

ऐसे क्यों कुछ बोले ना
ऐसे क्यों कुछ बोले ना

ऐसे क्यूँ
उसके होठों पे
अच्छा लगता है
मेरा नाम
ऐसे क्यूँ
कुछ भी बोले वो
मन में घुलता है
ज़ाफ़रान
गिरता है गुलमोहर
ख्वाबों में रात भर
ऐसे खवाबों से बाहर निकलना
ज़रूरी है क्या
ऐसे क्यूँ
हाँ क्यूँ,
हाँ क्यूँ
वो कुछ बोले ना
ऐसे क्यूँ
हाँ क्यूँ,
हाँ क्यूँ
वो कुछ बोले ना

अक्सर तुमसे मिलकर मुझको
घर सा लगता है
फिर क्यूँ
दिल ही दिल में कोई
डर सा लगता है

अक्सर तुमसे मिलकर मुझको
घर सा लगता है
फिर क्यों दिल ही दिल में कोई
डर सा लगता है
बीता जो वाक्या
सोचूँ मैं क्यों भला
बीती बातों से दिल को दुखाना
ज़रूरी है क्या
ऐसे क्यूँ
हाँ क्यूँ,
हाँ क्यूँ
वो कुछ बोले ना
ऐसे क्यूँ
हाँ क्यूँ,
हाँ क्यूँ
वो कुछ बोले ना

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————

The song presented in this post is from the movie ‘Kaala Chashmaa-1962’.

This movie made its debut on the blog on 18.12.2015. The second song from this movie was posted on the blog on 27.05.2017. Today’s song is the third song from this movie to appear on the blog. This song is coming after a long gap of about six years from the time its last song figured in the blog.

Before going into the details of today’s song here is a brief about this movie.

“Kaala Chashmaa-1962” was directed by K. Vinod for ‘S.B.V. Productions’. It had Manju, Amarnath, Madan Puri, Shaikh, Maruti, Sheela Kashmiri, Jeevankala, Abeela Kashmiri, Kundan, Ravikant, Uma Dutt, Rinku, Rani Kaushal, Rehana, Madan Khanna, Assi, Soni, Narinder, Prakash, Kailash and others.

Today’s song is sung by Sudha Malhotra and the lyricist for this song is Gulshan Bawra.

Only the audio of the today’s song is available.

I guess that this movie is an obscure and lesser known movie of its time and no video of this movie seems to be available on the internet.

So far, three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog and all the three songs have been presented by Shri Arunkumar ji with detailed information about the movie and about the artistes of the movie.

Here is the brief about the story of the movie of this movie as mentioned by him in his post.

An evil courtesan in king Marmayogi’s kingdom, Urvashi (Anjali Devi) usurps the throne and throws the unconscious king in a river to die. King’s 2 sons escape to a jungle and grow up. The King survives and remains hidden. The younger prince is Karikalan (MGR), who grows up and becomes a Bandit who loots the rich and helps the poor in Robin Hood style. He also starts loving the Chief of Army’s daughter (Madhavi Devi). The king roams the capital in the night masquerading as a Ghost. Finally, Karikalan, the king and his associates defeat the courtesan and the kingdom is restored to the King again. Karikalan marries his lover.

Today’s song is from a religious film ” Raami Dhoban”-1953. It is described and classified as a ” Bhakti Pradhan” (भक्ती प्रधान ) Genre film in HFGK.

Those who own copies of HFGK, know that every film that is featured herein is classified and described to which genre it belongs to – like Historical, Social, Comedy, Stunt, Folklore, Imaginary, Costume, Mythological, Mystery etc etc. To indicate ‘ Dharmik’ films, 2 Genres are used. One is Mythological (पौराणिक ) and the other is Religious (भक्ती प्रधान ). Now, what is the difference between these two ? The difference is about the source of the story. All stories from Ramayan, Mahabharat and all Puranas are classified as Mythological and all other stories about the Bhaktas, Saints, Folkstories and stories about The god and the religion carried through generations and storybooks are listed as Religious films. Thus, a film on Ramayan story or Waman Avtar is Mythological and a film on Dussehra or Yatrik is called Religious. I hope this point is clear now.

Today’s film Raami Dhoban-1953 is a Religious film or भक्ती प्रधान film. This is because this story is not from any Holy Scripture but it is a Folklore carried through generations and religious books. In Hindu religion there are 2 ‘DHOBANS’ (washerwomen), who were famous. One was who came in the Uttarakhand part of Ramayana , whose husband refused her entry into his house stating that he is not Shri Ram to forgive her night out somewhere else, like Seeta. This had led to the exile of Seeta etc. The second Dhoban was during the 15th Century, in Bengal, where her love story with a Vaishnav Priest-Chandidas was compared to love of Radha and krishna. In those times this love affair of a Vaishnava invited a lot of criticism also.

For a long time since the ” Bhakti Movement” in India, in the period from the 6th Century to the 17 th Century, the disputes between the ‘ Shaivas’ and the ‘Vaishnavas’ virtually divided the educated classes all over the country. They are clearly identified from their Tilak on the forehead. V Shaped perpendicular Tilak on the forehead (as on Balaji) means ‘ Vaishnav’ and the 3 lined horizontal Tilak on forehead (like Shiv ji) means ‘Shaiva’. These followers of Vishnu and Shiv, once upon a time were quite diehards, but in today’s modern era most people neither know the difference nor they care two hoots !

The story of Raami Dhoban is not new to Hindi films. Calcutta’s New Theatres had made a film in Banglea – Chandidas in 1932 on this story. A Hindi remake of this film was made as Chandidas in 1934, with Saigal and Uma Shashi. R.C.Boral had composed excellent songs in it ( famous song was ‘ Prem nagar mein basaungi ghar main’). The same story was made into today’s film Raami Dhoban-1953. The producer Ramesh vyas made this film under his own banner-Navkala Niketan, bombay. The film was directed by Hiren Bose and the music director was also Hiren Bose !

There are rare cases in Hindi films where the director and the composer are the same for a film. During the 1930’s it was Pt. Badri Prashad (2 films) and in the 1940s it was Pt. S.N.tripathi (18 films), who were directors as well as composers of their some films. After these 3 cases, I have not known any other such case in Hindi films. Perhaps there were no multifaceted artistes anymore in the film industry, like the oldies.

Hiren Bose was actually the Mentor of Anil Biswas. On his suggestion and help only he shifted to Bombay from Calcutta. While film music crossed several barriers, the films themselves proved to be a mix of experts from every corner of India. Hindi films have actors, Directors and composers from almost every state. In this, however, Bengal has taken a lead in providing the raw material.

Several well known actors came from Bengal. Many Directors like Bimal Roy ,Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Nabendu Ghosh, Basu Chaterjee, Basu Bhattacharya, Shakti Samant, Amiya Chakravarty, Gyan Mukherjee etc. enriched the Hindi cinema. Music directors who came from Bengal like, Hemant Kumar, Salil Chaudhari, S D Burman, Anil Biswas, K C Dey, Pankaj Mullik etc provided us wonderful everlasting music. Most of the directors and composers from Bengal are well known to most of us,but there was ONE name that appeared in many categories like Actor, Director, Story writer, S/Play writer, Lyricist, and Composer too, yet that name is as obscure today as it can be !

That name is HIREN BOSE ( Hirendra Kumar Bose).

Born in Calcutta on 26-9-1903,Hiren completed his college education and learnt classical music & Rabindra sangeet to such proficiency that soon he earned titles of “Vidya Bhushan” and “Sangeet Ratna “. He wrote in Bengali papers and for Bangla films too. In the years 1928 to 1932, Hiren had joined HMV as a Music Director. Here he became a close friend of Kazi Nazrul Islam and Dhiren Das. Both Kazi and Hiren wrote lyrics for songs in HMV .

Around 1929,a new , young and attractive singer came to HMV. Her name was KANAN BALA. She came for recording songs. Soon the handsome Hiren cast his spell on Kanan and she started considering him as her mentor in HMV. They were a quartet of friends, Kanan, Hiren, Kazi and Dhiren. In HMV Kanan recorded many songs set to tune or written by Hiren Bose. In 1932,this team left HMV, on the issue of Royalty and joined the newly formed Megaphone Recording company. Here too after 2 years, this team left Megaphone and joined Columbia recording company. By 1934,Hiren wrote in his autobiography- JATI SMAR (My memories)-later that he had lost interest in Kananbala.

Hiren’s eyes were now set on a bigger Horizon -BOMBAY. he knew that remaining in Calcutta may not be suitable for him. Meanwhile he had met another Struggler, ANIL BISWAS. Hiren advised him to go to Bombay for a brighter future and also promised him all his help. Although, by then ANIL BISWAS was comfortably placed in Calcutta, he left for Bombay as per Hiren’s advice. Hiren Bose was a highly respected name in the musical circles of Calcutta.

Hiren started working in Bombay. His fame as a versatile film person had already reached Bombay and he had no difficulty in getting work there. Hiren directed Dharam ki Devi-35, followed by Piya ki Jogan-36 and then Mahageet 1937. As per his promise he gave a chance to Anil Biswas to give music,independently to DHARAM KI DEVI-1935. As such earlier he had composed a song in Bharat ki Beti-35- “Tere poojan ko Bhagwan” sung by Rattan bai. But then he had shared the Music direction with Zande Khan. That song had become quite popular then.

Hiren Bose was very fond of acting in films and he also acted in MAHAGEET-1937. It was in this film that Anil Biswas FIRST introduced playback singing in a Bombay film. (In Calcutta R C Boral had started playback in 1935 itself). The FIRST ever Playback song in this film was ” Jeevan hai ek kahani, Duniya bhi hai ek kahani ” . It was sung by Anil Biswas and was filmed on Hiren Bose on the screen. Thus Hiren Bose’s name became a Historical name in Bombay film industry. This was, Anil Biswas repaid the debt of Hiren Bose, in helping him to get established in the Bombay Music field.
(Ref- ‘The early composers- Music beyond Boundaries by Dr. Ashok Ranade pp 183-186).

After Mahageet, Hiren Bose got an offer from Madras to direct a Telugu film- Bhakta Jaydev-1938,which he did successfully.
Hiren Bose kept on shuttling between Bombay and Calcutta, doing some films here and some there. He also acted in some Bangla films during that period. He was so versatile in many departments that he did acting, directing, lyrics, singing, and composing. His complete Filmography is not available but some details are available.
As a Director 15 films are to his credit- Chup-31, Mahua-34, Dharm ki Devi-35, Piya ki Jogan-36, Mahageet-37, Bhakta jaidev-38, India in Afica-39, Amar Geeti-40, Kabi Joydeb-41, Daasi-44, Banjarey-48, Sree Tulsidas-50, Ghungroo-52, Raami Dhoban-53 and Ektara-57.

He acted in Rishir prem-31, Chup-31, Udayer pathe-44, Towards the Light-44, Sesh Raksha-44 and Mahageet-37. As a writer- Meerabai (s/Play and story)-32 and Rajrani Meera(story)-33. As a composer- India in Africa-39, Kabi Joydeb-41, Raami Dhoban-53.

After directing his last film Ektara in 1957, Hiren Bose lived a retired life. His last few years were mostly unhealthy and he spent time writing lyrics for geets in Bangla which were usually sung by Hemant Kumar, Kanan Bala and Suprova sarkar. Hiren Bose died on 18-6-1987 and one of the most versatile, multifaceted and multilingual artiste disappeared forever….

The story of the love between Chandidas and Raami was not an ordinary one. The other day I found this story on speakingtree.in, on the internet. Here it is….

Chandidas was the son of a Brahman priest. He was very handsome, charming and of a quiet countenance, but was forever lost in some world of his own. His father, tired of him, died, and Chandidas was forced to succeed him as the purohit of the local temple of a goddess.

Chandidas’ heart was never into these frivolities. He was devoted to Lord Krishna immensely. Then, one day, as he was sitting silently on the banks of the river in their village, his heart filled with sadness and disillusionment at the world. Legend has it that the Devi of the temple of their village appeared there, and told him that he would become a great poet and philosopher.

Then, when he was returning, he beheld a washerwoman washing clothes. When she got up, the two looked at each other, and it was love at first sight.

Chandidas thought that Rami, the washerwoman, was divinely beautiful. She was the source of strength and courage to him, just as Radha had been for Krishna. And this marked the beginning of Chandidas’ poetry.

Chandidas’s brother, who was ashamed of Chandidas because of his romantic involvement with the low-caste Rami, forced him to take part in a shudhikaran ceremony and purge himself of the sin of Rami’s touch. But just at that moment, Rami came, weeping and struggling as guards stopped her. ‘Chandithakur, would you leave me forever for society? Do I have just this much value for you?’

Chandidas was put in a dilemma. Here was the woman he loved like no one else, who always stood by him when people turned on him. And on the other side, the society his father had structured, and the people who revered his family, still stuck in social conventions and stupid rites and traditions.

Chandidas made his decision on the spot. He walked towards Rami, took her hand, and led her away from the village forever. They stopped at the house of Ganesha the singer, where Chandidas and Rami spent the rest of their lives singing hymns for Krishna and Radha.

Let us now enjoy the duet by two Bengali singers – Geeta Roy and Hemant kumar….

‘Adhikaar’ (1996) was a TV Serial which was telecast in 1996-99 on ZEE TV. The serial was directed by Lekh Tandon. The main actors in the serial were Rajeev Varma, Smita Jaykar, Arundhati Ganorkar, Bharat Kapoor, Vineeta Malik, Shefali Shetty (Shah), Irrfan Khan, Divya Seth, Sachin Khedekar, Sangeeta Ghosh, Zia Hamid, Ashalata, Muneera Surati, Neha Sharad, Arundhati Rao, Mangla Kenkare, S M Zahir, Anang Desai, Sooraj Thapar and many more.

I had seen a few episodes of serial when it was telecast. I have also watched a few episodes of the serial recently on a video sharing platform. In the male dominated society, women are treated as subordinate, and they are not encouraged to air their views openly in a family gathering. The Serial highlights the problems of women faced in two families, a Hindu and a Muslim family with different perspectives.

Amita (Shefali Shetty) is an outspoken girl in the family of lawyer who defies the conventional tradition of agreeing to dictates of her parents (Bharat Kapoor and Veena Malik) if, in her view, the dictates are not rational. While not agreeing with her parents, she gives her reasons for that which makes her parents speechless. Shama (Arundhati Ganorkar), her college friend, also faces the same dictates from her parents. She protests but she is not as bold as Amita to defy. She does agree with most of her parents’ advice even though she is not in agreement with them. One thing in common about both of them is that in order to avoid subordinate existence within the family, they feel that they have to get educated and become economically independent. Amita’s family has the monetary ability to spend on higher education but are not keen for her higher education. On the other hand, Shama is in danger of losing her college education due to financial reasons.

Raja Sahab (Rajeev Varma) and his wife Shahida (Smita Jaykar) have been married for 20 years but she remains childless. He divorces her and gets married to Shama against her wish for her parents for financial reasons. After divorce, his first wife is relocated in servant’s quarters. Shama tries to correct Raja Sahab by telling her that she has no problem if his first wife stays in the same house but in vain. At the same time, Raja Sahab is not averse to Shama continuing the college education. After the death of Raja Sahab, Shama continues the education to become a lawyer with the help of her lawyer friend, Ali (Sachin Khedekar). Then, there is a character of inqilabi shayar Abid (Irrfan Khan) who loves Shama’s sister, Zubeida, but she is afraid to tell her mind to the mother.

The sum and substance of this serial is that a better status for women irrespective of their religion leads to the creation of a well-balanced society. At the outset, the serial looks feminist. But Reoti Saran Sharma, the story writer has nicely brought out women’s empowerment without taking an anti-male stance in the story. Some of the male characters in the story become the facilitators for the equal rights to the women in their family.

In most of the TV serials of that time, it was common to have title songs which, in nutshell, give the main theme of the story. But in ‘Adhikar’ (1996), apart from the short title song, there are some full-fledged songs just like in Hindi films. I am presenting a ghazal ‘meri talaash chhod de tu mujhko paa chuka’ written by Naqsh Layallpuri which is recited by Sonu Nigam. The ghazal is set to music by Talat Aziz.

The original ghazal is of 7 she’rs of which only the first 6 she’rs have been included in the recitation. The ‘maqta’ (last she’r) not included is as under:

paani se ‘Naqsh’ kab hui roshan yeh zindagi
main apne aansuon ke diye bhi jala chuka

The ghazal is picturised on Irrfan Khan in a private mushaira in which Zubeida (Divya Seth) is present. The background to this picturisation is that Abid (Irrfan Khan) who is an inqilabi poet, often gets jail terms for writing the inflammatory poems. This time after he is released from the jail, he visits Zubaida’s house to tell her that he still wants to marry her. Her mother and sister, Shama are present, and they are surprised. Later, Shama comes to know from Zubeida that she met Abid for the first time in a mushaira in which he recited his ghazals. So, this is a flashback scene.

06 Paap na hone de dharti pe ye tera apmaan hai… dekh le aa ke apnaa jahaan Mahendra Kapoor, Anuradha Paudwal

Today we present the first song from this movie on the blog. This song is the title song as well as the ‘theme song’ of this movie which emphasizes the presence of God in everything that exists in this ‘mortal world’.

The first part of this song is played in the back ground when the titles of this movie are rolling on the screen.

This song is sung by Mukesh and Anuradha Paudwal. In the second part of this song we can see Jeevan (as Narad muni and disguising as Sadhu later) and Master Alankar lip-syncing this song in the voices of Mukesh and Anuradha Paudwal respectively. In this part the first stanza of the first part is repeated and added with another stanza. In the video we can also see other artistes and some child artistes too.

Picturisation of the third part shows Ashish Kumar lip-syncing in Mukesh’s voice and we can see many others listening to him.

The fourth part of this song is a sad version where we can see Kanan Kaushal and Ashish Kumar helping sick people and getting tired and exhausted in the end. This part is played in the background. We can also see other artist in the video of this song.

I guess that this movie was inspired by the success of ‘Jai Santoshi Maa-1975’ and the lead pair of this movie was repeated here too. HFGK (Vol-V) also mentions that this movie was earlier titled as ‘Kan Kan Mein Bhagwan’ as the records of songs of this movie were released by the this title.

Let us now listen to the today’s song of this movie and welcome ‘Bhagwaan Samaaye Sansaar Mein-1976’ on the blog …

Lyricist for the song is B.D. Mishra and music is composed by Anil-Arun.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————

In this post I present a wonderful song which I came across while browsing and listening to a few songs.

This song is from the ‘1949’ movie ‘Janmapatri’ or ‘Janmpatri’.

It was directed by K.P. Shahani for ‘Popular Productions, Bombay’.

The cast of this movie had Sudha Rao, Hamid, Zebunnisa, Chandabai, Vijay Kumar, Leela Gupte, A. Shah, Susheela, Nazir Kashmiri, Pran, Ratan Piya, Khatana, Shamo, Abdul and others.

‘Janmpatri-1949’ has eight songs in it. Lyrics for all these eight songs were written by Aziz Kashmiri. Music for this movie was composed by Gulshan Soofi.

Khan Mastana, Soofi, Hamida Bano and Rajkumari had given their voices to the songs in this movie.

‘Janmpatri-1949’ made its debut on the blog with its song ‘wo aa gaye hain pyaar ki duniya liye huye’ . This post was presented on 16.09.2016 by our respected Shri Sadanand Kamath ji with detailed information on the lyrics writer of this movie i.e. Aziz Kashmiri.

The second song from this movie was presented by Shri Atul ji and it was posted on 28.10.2017. The song in this post is ‘dil mera tadpaane waalaa shaad rahe Aabaad rahe’.

Today we present the third song from this movie. This song is sung by Rajkumari andfemale chorus.

This song is a ‘missing the beloved’ type song where the girl is sharing her thoughts with her ‘sakhis’, who are actively supporting her to find the solution. 🙂

Let us now listen to this wonderful song …

Only audio of this song is available.
