Today’s song is from an imaginary stunt/costume film Sair E Paristan-1958.

When this film came in theatres, I had first thought that the title was Sair E Pakistan, but then I realised that it was Paristan and not Pakistan ! I wonder even today as to why such types of Stunt/ Costume films had stories or rather cookes up silly stories had almost always a Muslim background ? Maybe because such stories were suitable for a background of Middle East countries only and no one would question their credibility. It is also possible to make the stories look like those from the Arabian Night stories. Anyway, the audience of such films never thought of all these things. All that they wanted was fighting, a few ‘Dil Tod’ dances, flashy dresses, big palaces and more daredevil stunts !

Today’s song is from the film Mehndi-1958.

In the year 1899, a famous writer of those times-Mirza Hadi ‘Ruswa’ wrote a novel “Umrao Jaan Ada” on the life and times of a famous Tawaif and poet of Lucknow. There is a dispute whether it was a real or a fictitious character. There have been arguments on both sides giving questionable bits of evidence. Whatever it was, the novel attracted attention of the public and the critics over the next few decades.

The famous Alfred Drama Company of the early 20th century, made it into a drama and it too became popular. During the silent era attempts were made to make it into a film on her, but it did not happen. However, after the advent of the Talkie films, many variations of this story came up and some films were made on it. But due to lack of information, we do not have the details.

In my last article, I have covered the details of the film ‘Jumbish’ (1986) which was produced and directed by Salahuddin Pervez who also wrote the fictional story, screenplay, dialogues and the lyrics. Surprisingly, he was not connected with film industry in any capacity before he ventured into making the film under discussion. Since Jaidev, the music director of the film was one of my favourites, I heard all the seven songs in the film which were all melodious as expected from him. The songs, especially the ghazal and nazm written by Salahuddin Parvez were poetic with unusual metaphors. With his poetic lyrics, the unusual story of the film and the symbolic dialogues he used, I became curious to know about his background. Checking on him on the internet led me to a PDF of his biography on Sahitya Akademy website following his winning the Sahitya Akademy Award in 1991. I found his biography interesting, a gist of which is given below:

Today’s song is from an 84 year old film Charnon ki Dasi-1941.

1941 was the first year in the second decade of the Talkie Era and it was the beginning of the emergence of a New film industry. When Talkie started in 1931, for many years after that, the films were made by the people who had done work in the Silent films. These films had a spill over for the silent era artistes. Once the films started talking,most silent artists who could not speak Hindi or Urdu automatically disappeared. Thus started the influx of new actors who could speak Hindi and sing songs, in whatever way they could. Intelligent directors like V Shantaram,Bhavnani, Sohrab Modi, Chandulal Shah, Himanshu Rai, B N Sircar, L V Prasad and a host of Gujarati directors understood that the Talkie needs a different treatment than silent films. Music directors from stage dramas tried their hand in composing film music.
