Today, 19 July 2024, is a special day for the blog. It was on this date 16 years ago that this blog had come into existence with its debut post “Miley Na Phool To Kaanton Se Dosti Kr Li” on 19 July 2008. We have come a long way in the blog from that small beginning. On this occasion, we will have quite a few posts today to celebrate the occasion. Keep watching this blog throughout the day.

 

‘Savera’ (1942) was directed by Virendra C Desai for Bombay Cinetone Limited, Bombay. The movie had Arun Ahuja, Shobhna Samarth, Yakub, Nirmala Devi, Gharpure, Brij Mala, Nagendra etc in it.

This ‘social’ movie had 12 songs in it. All these songs are rare songs and are difficult to locate. One song has been covered in the blog so far.

Here is the second song from ‘Savera’ (1942) to appear in the blog. This song is described as a chorus song (समूह गान) in HFGK. As I listened carefully, to this song, I could make out that it has at least two distinct female voices in addition to chorus. One of the voice sounds like Nirmala Devi to me. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the identity of the voices.

Today’s song is from the film Apna Ghar-1942.

This film was the remake of the Marathi film “आपले घर ” (Aaple Ghar i.e. Our Home). Very surprisingly, it was made in both languages by Circo Production, a film company famous for making Hindi films. Usually, the bilingual-Marathi/Hindi films were made in Poona and Kolhapur by either Shantaram’s Prabhat Films or Master Vinayak’s Huns Pictures at Kolhapur. But then, the owner of the CIRCO (Cine Industries Recording COmpany), Chimanlal Trivedi was a person exclusive in the industry.He produced films taking the best from the industry- actors, directors or the music directors. He floated 5 successful film companies and one stage drama company. He had close relations with the top political leaders of India. After his death, his entire family settled in the USA. Normally, very few articles are written about exclusive producers (who are NOT usual directors). Here is more information on this unique personality.

Today’s song is from the film Bhakta Kabir-1942.

For the last two months’ period, I was very busy. First it was my ill health during which I spent a few days in Hospital also. After that I started doing my routine work. Then there was one company’s Board meeting which, being one of the Directors, I had to prepare and attend. After that I resumed my writing work and then some visitors came last week. Ms. Nupur Mitra, daughter of the legendary singer Jagmohan Sursagar came with her team-as per our plan- in connection with her forthcoming book on Jagmohan.

Today’s song is from a stunt film Jungle Princess-1942.

This was a film with Tarzan’s story. The only difference here was that the ‘Tarzan’ was a GIRL ! The story behind this film is interesting.

Today’s song is from the film Garib-1942.

This film was made by the National studios, which was formed after Sagar movietone was closed down. Because of this the artiste who were contracted with Sagar were now bound with National Studios. Music Director Anil Biswas, actor Surendra, Sankatha prasad, Ramchandra Thakur and few others who worked for this film were ‘carried forward’ from Sagar Movietone. Most of them freed themselves to work for other studios or became Free lancers. But Music Director Anil Biswas, while in contract withNational studios, gave music to a film ” Basant ”, made by Bombay Talkies and the name of his brother in law, Pannalal Ghosh was used as the MD of that film. After the closure of national studios, Anil Biswas openly joined Bombay Talkies leaving all his loyal friends of Sagar Movietone, jobless. This became the cause of a rift between once close friends Mehboob Khan and him as Khan never pardoned Anil Biswas for this selfish act. (ref…book “Mehboob Khan” by Shashikant Kinikar).
