Today’s song is from the film Aahuti-1950.

This unknown film was made by Sansar Movietone, Bombay. Produced by L.Shankar, it was directed by Kulbhushan. The story, screenplay and the dialogues were by a team of H.C.Jaiswal, G.Saran and L.Shankar. The music for the 12 songs of the film was given by D.C.Dutt. There is not much information available about D.C.Dutta, not even what the initials D.C. stand for.

All of us know that Lata Mangeshkar had to struggle very hard in her initial attempts to get into Playback singing in Hindi films. In her early struggle, 3 Duttas helped her. The first was of course Datta Davjekar who gave her the first opportunity to sing a Playback song for his film Aapki sewa mein-1947. The second was K.Datta or Datta Korgaonkar, who, after his favourite singer Noorjehan left India, took Lata under his wings and gave her songs. The third Dutta was this-D.C.Dutt. No information is available about him whatsoever, except what is printed in HFGK and its duplication in Pankaj Raag’s book “Dhunon ki Yatra”. Thanks to this, we know that his debut was through the film Sona Chandi-1946. Out of 12 songs of the film, only two were his and one of them was by Lata Mangeshkar.

Today’s song is from a very obscure film- Aage Kadam-1943.

The film made by Acharya Art productions, Bombay was so obscure that despite having leading and popular stars of those times, the film not only flopped, but no traces of it are available now.We do not know about its story, though from its sings it looks like a Love story with twists But then this is only our guess.

The film was directed by N.R.Acharya. Songs were written by Kailash Matwala- a name not known to many people because he wrote songs for films which were not popular, like Uljhan-1942, Aadab Arz-1943, Aage Kadam-1943, Vijay laxmi-1943, Mujrim-1944 etc. He was the elder brother of the famous actor On Shivpuri. he was from Jodhpur. He had acted and sung in some equally obscure films. At a very young age, he was afflicted with mental illness at 22 years. He died on 2-11-1994.

‘Shree Ram Bharat Milan-1965’, a mythological movie was directed by Manibhai Vyas for R.M. Art Productions, Bombay. It was produced by Ratan and Mohan and presented by Pt Madhur and S.P. Mangal. As mentioned by me in my earlier posts for this movie’s songs, this movie covers the story of Ramayana starting from Seeta Swayamwar, Kaikeyi seeking the throne for her son Bharat, and vanvaas to Shree Raam in lieu of the two boons that Raja Dashrath had promised her earlier, Bharat not accepting the throne and instead carrying Raam’s paadukaa and worshipping it, and finally Raja Raam’s coming back to Ayodhya after fourteen years of vanvaas.

Prithviraj Kapoor played Raja Dashrath, Nirupa Roy played Kaikeyi, Sulochana was Kaushalya, Anita Guha was Seeta, actor Mahipal was Raam’, and actor Rajkumar (from south?) was Bharat. They were supported by the other cast members viz Saraswati, Balakram, Bhuvna, B.M. Vyas, Sunanda, Niranjan Sharma, Padma Rani, Arvind, Vanmala, Joirabhai, Anand Tiwari, C.N.

Today’s song is from an interesting comedy film- 300 days and after-1938.

The title of this film itself was of a different type and not like any other film so far. The story was also of a different type.

This was the first decade of the Talkie films. it had just completed 7 years with 829 films, but in these 7 years many experimental films were made and various types of genres were tried. In these years the stress had been on making films on Folk tales, Mythological and Historical stories, remakes of successful Silent films, Love stories and Social films etc.
