#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————
The song in this post is from an eighty-four year old movie ‘Shobha-1942’. Music for this movie was composed by Vasant Desai. When I saw that only one song from this movie have been posted on this blog so far, it piqued my interest to look for other songs from this movie. The other reason is the composer i.e. Vasant Desai. I love his music and there are many songs composed by him which I like very much. So, today I am presenting the second song from this movie ‘Shobha-1942’.
This movie ‘Shobha-1942’ was directed by Kumarsen Samarth for ‘Wadia Movietone, Bombay’. It was a ‘social movie’. The cast of this movie had Shobhna Samarth, Shahu Modak, Kusum Deshpande, Karan Deewan, Sulochana Chatterjee, Vimal Sardesai, David, Jaal Khambhata, Putlibai, Master Chhotu and others.
‘Shobha-1942’ has six songs as listed in Geet Kosh Vol-II (1941-1950). Pandit Indra is the lyricist for all the six songs. In Geet Kosh the name of playback singers for this movie are mentioned as Shobhna Samarth, Shahu Modak, and Miss Kalyani. However while presenting the first song from this movie on the blog our inhouse encylopeadia Shree Arunkumar jee has mentioned that the songs mentioned as sung by Shobhna Samarth are in fact in the voice of Saraswati Rane. Here is what he has mentioned in the post with the song ‘uhoon-uhoon-shikaari-na-khel’…
Film Shobha was a Wadia Movietone presentation. It was directed by Kumarsen Samarth, husband of Shobhana Samarth. The Lyricist was Indra and the composer was Vasant Desai. The film had 6 songs. With today’s song, film Shobha is making a Debut here. As per HFGK, 3 songs are sung by Shobhana Samarth, because on the record, her name is printed, but Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji has confirmed that these songs are sung by Saraswati Rane. In the discography of Saraswati Rane also these songs feature.
(Shree Arunkumar jee has also gave the story of this movie in his post above. However I am not reproducing that here. Readers can read this interesting post here )
Today we are going to listen to the second song from this movie which is in the voice of Miss Kalyani. It is a song of ‘after effects or side effects of falling in love’ :). Lyrics are by Pandit Indra Chandra and music is composed by the great composer Vasant Desai.
Let us listen to this song now …
Song-Wo dil mein humko yaad karen (Shobha)(1942) Singer-Miss Kalyani, Lyricist-Pt Indra Chandra, MD-Vasant Desai
Lyrics
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
ham roothhen to wo paanv paden
ham roothhen to wo paanv paden
wo roothhen to ham sharmaayen
wo roothhen to ham sharmaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
dil behlaane ke mauke hain
milne ke meethhe mausam hain
dil behlaane ke mauke hain
milne ke meethhe mausam hain
hamko din mein sapne aayen
ae ae ae
hey hey hey
hamko din mein sapne aayen
aur sapnon mein wo chhaa jaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen

Today’s song is from the film Baraat-1942.
The film was made by Kirti Pictures, Bombay and it was directed by Dada aka V.M.Gunjal (25-1-1904 to 16-11-1968). The music was by the brothers Ratanlal and Khemraj – a pseudonym taken by Khemchand Prakash to hide his identity legally, because at that time he was under contract with Ranjit Studios from 1940 to 1945. This was an attempt by Khemchand to help Ratanlal learn and become an independent Music Director. However, it helped in a very little way.

Today’s song is from the film Roti-1942.
The early 40’s were when the Socialistic pattern of the Communist philosophy was spreading fast all over the world. Nehru was fully sold to the Socialistic pattern of Governance and he enthusiastically used to propagate it in his speeches. The film industry was in awe with the impression of Nehru and a few major filmmakers openly echoed his thinking. producers like Mehboob Khan, Kardar, Bimal Roy and some Bangla filmmakers were influenced by nehruvian philosophy.
Thus Mehboob khan ensured that most of his films reflected this anti capitalistic philosophy in some way or the others. That is how he made films like Roti, Mother India, Son of India etc. Bimal Roy too followed in his own way by making films like Naya Daur, and Dharmputra etc.
