Today’s song is from the film ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946).

All those who know a little bit of Indian history, know about Maharana Pratap – a brave king who fought with the mighty Mughals, with meager support from other Indian kings from his region. He is one who never lost any battle. The names of Maharana Pratap and his famous horse Chetak are well known to us.

Pratap Singh I, popularly known as Maharana Pratap (c. 9 May 1540 – 19 January 1597), was a Hindu Rajput king of Mewar from the Sisodia dynasty. He fought several major battles against Akbar including the Battle of Haldighati in 1576 to resist the expansionist policy of the Mughal empire. Pratap became a folk hero for his military resistance through guerrilla warfare which proved inspirational for later rebels against Mughals including Malik Ambar and Shivaji. Chetak is the name given in traditional literature to the horse ridden by Maharana Pratap at the Battle of Haldighati, fought on 18 June 1576 at Haldighati, in the Aravalli Mountains of Rajasthan, in western India. Though wounded in the battle of Haldighati, Chetak ran fast and took Maharana Pratap to safety, before dying.

Film ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946) was made by Jayant Desai Productions, Bombay. The Producer and the Director was Jayant Desai. Jayant Jhinabhai Desai was born in Surat, Gujarat, on 28-2-1909, in a well-to-do family. He graduated from Bombay University and entered the film line as an exhibitor in Surat. Later on he started writing screenplays for London Films, Rangoon and then for Krishna and Sharada studios. He joined Chandulal Shah’s Ranjit Studios in 1929, as his assistant for the silent film ‘Rajputani’. Director Nandlal Jaswantlal Bhatt (‘Nagin’, ‘Taj’, ‘Champakali’ etc.) was another assistant in Ranjit.

When Nandlal left Ranjit to go to Europe, Jayant completed his film ‘Pahadi Kanya’ (1930)’. At Ranjit, Jayant directed 12 silent films. He was with Ranjit till 1943 and Directed 33 talkie films, while in Ranjit. Some of these films were ‘Chaar Chakram’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyan’, ‘Nadira’, ‘Toofan Mail’, ‘College Girl’, ‘Matlabi Duniya’, ‘Toofani Toli’, ‘Billi’ ( a copy of a Hollywood film, based on PG Wodehouse’s novel “A Damsel in Distress” ), ‘Sant Tulsidas’, ‘Diwali’, ‘Shaadi’, ‘Chandni’, ‘Bhaktaraj’, ‘Tansen’ (with KL Saigal), ‘Zaban’ etc.

After leaving Ranjit, Jayant Desai established his own studio, Jupiter Films Studio, Jayant Desai Productions and Hemlata Pictures. He also had exhibition interests in Hindmata and Star Theatres in Bombay’s Dadar area. In the 50s, he operated as a distributor with his Jupiter films.

While in Ranjit, he had Directed KL Saigal in the film ‘Tansen’ (1943). Sardar Chandulal Shah had called Saigal on a contract of 60 days. Jayant completed ‘Tansen’ in flat 51 days. Kidar Sharma then used those 9 days to make a quickie – ‘Bhanwara’ (1944), with Saigal.

C Ramchandra was with Jayant Desai for more than 3 years and gave 5 successful films. It was Jayant Desai who gave him the name C Ramchandra for use in films. It was also Jayant Desai who was responsible for the rise of C Ramchandra in a major way. After leaving Ranjit, Jayant started his own company. In his new company, Jayant had hired C Ramchandra as a paid composer on a salary of Rs. 300 pm. C Ramchandra gave music to many of his films like ‘Zaban’, ‘Lalkar’, ‘Manorama’, ‘Chandragupta’ etc. and all films became popular. C  Ramchandra was proud of his achievement. Under the banner Jayant Desai productions, one more Saigal film – Tadbeer’ (1945), with Suraiya in the lead was made. Jayant Desai directed 65 films in all. His last film was ‘Zamana Badal Gaya’ (1961). He died in Bombay on 19-4-1976.

The cast of the film ‘Maharana Pratap’ was Khursheed, Ishwarlal, Kantilal, Mubarak, D S Salvi, Noorjehan Sr., Reva Shankar, Bhagwandas, Sati Devi and many others. We do not know the story of this film, but from the type of songs this film had, it seems to be a mix of Pratap’s life story consisting of his fights and family life. The period from 1945 to about the early 50’s was the time when most of the old actors and actresses coming from the early era and those who were a part of the spill over from the silent film era saw their last lap of career and they all disappeared during this period. Today’s film is the best example.

Khursheed – last film in India- ‘Aap Beeti’ (1948).
Ishwarlal – Stopped singing in 1945. Last film ‘Badi Maa’ (1945).
Kantilal – Last film ‘Jai Shiv Shankar’ (1951). Last song ‘Bhaktraj’ (1943).
Sati Devi – Last song ‘Door Chalen’ (1946).
Noorjehan sr. – Last song- ‘Aadab Arz’ (1943). Last film – ‘Anarkali’ (1953).
Reva Shankar – Last film  ‘Jai Mahadev’ (1951). Last song – ‘Mahasati Tulsi Vrinda’ (1947). Last film as MD ‘Matrubhumi’ (1949).
Bhagwandas – Last film ‘Jalpari’ (1952).

For two artistes, this film was a landmark film.

1. For Music Director Ram Ganguly – this was his first film as a Music Director. It was his debut film. There are cases in history, where talent alone has not helped. The luck factor plays a vital role in one’s life. But then, what is luck ? Call it opportunity, recognition, fame, money. . . call it what you may like to, but luck is a factor.

Otherwise, so many talented actors, singers, composers, directors or even producers would not rot in the film industry. The case of the film ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’ (1975) can be quoted in this connection. If it was not for luck, how come a low budget film, made by a repeatedly failed producer Satram Rohra, became one of the top blockbusters of all time ? Surprisingly, after this movie, the next ventures of Satram Rohra were again failures. Though he was benefited by ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’, neither the Music Director C Arjun nor the film’s director Vijay Sharma got any benefit from the film. Probably they were not as lucky.

I do not want to dwell upon examples and a lengthy claim in favor of luck, but let us not forget that many talented artistes, who showed great promise with their initial achievements failed inexplicably, later in their career. At least two examples can be quoted, of composer Ram Ganguly and singer Mubarak Begum (RIP).

Unfortunately, Ram Ganguly has no identity beyond his most famous film ‘Aag’ (1948) (his only 3rd film), making many people think that this was the only film that he did. Sometimes he is mistaken even for composer Ramlal (Choudhari).

Born on 6-8-1916, Ram Ganguly soon achieved expertise in playing violin, at the age of just 10 years. He was most appreciated when he played violin at the All India Congress Party Session at Calcutta in 1933. Listening to his violin, composer RC Boral offered him a job in New Theaters immediately. He remained 7 years in New Theaters. First he was assistant to Timir Baran for film ‘Devdas’ (1935), then assisted RC Boral and finally assisted Pankaj Mallick for film ‘Dushman’ (1939). There he met Prithviraj Kapoor and they became friends. Following Kapoor, Ram too proceeded to Bombay. He started a Dance and Music school in Khandala, in 1946. In 1943, he joined Prithvi Theaters as a music director for stage dramas. His music for the famous drama ‘Deewar’ in 1945 became popular. Raj Kapoor had sung a song in that drama, for which HMV took out a record also “Hum Babu Naye Niraale Hain“.

Ram’s first film as a film MD was Jayant Desai’s ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946). He did one more film for Desai, ‘Maha Tulsi Vrinda’ in 1947. When Raj Kapoor made his first film, ‘Aag’ (1948), selection of Ram Ganguly as its MD was natural, because Raj knew him very well from the Prithvi days. Ram Ganguli took tabla player Shanker and harmonium player Jaikishen as his assistants, having known them earlier. Little did he know at that time that this pair would edge him out from Raj camp and establish themselves there. Ram Ganguli gave excellent songs for the film ‘Aag’ (1948), sung by Shamshad, Mukesh and Sailesh Mukherjee.

Inspite of his good performance, he was thrown out by Raj Kapoor for his next venture ‘Barsaat’, for 2 reasons. One – Ganguly being an old guard did not fit into the future plans of Raj Kapoor, who wanted to innovate and bring in new ideas. And two, he was told that Ganguly was trying to use ‘Barsaat’ tunes for outside producers. While the first reason seems to be plausible, the second reason seems to be an excuse. God only knows the truth, but S-J were capable of anything – if one knows what they did in the coming years to win awards and contracts.

In all, he gave music to just 14 films with 146 songs and 1 unreleased film. His films were ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946), ‘Maha Tulsi Vrinda’ (1947), ‘Aag’ (1948), ‘Jalsa’ (1948), ‘Banvaasi’ (1948), ‘Anmol Moti’ (1949), ‘Ram Darshan’ (1950), ‘Deepak’ (1951), ‘Sangam’ (1954), ‘Gawaiya’ (1954) (this film also saw the end of Surendra’s singing career), When Prithviraj Kapoor decided to make his famous drama ‘Paisa’ into a film (in 1957), he called only Ram Ganguly. Originally, for the drama too he had been the MD. He gave good songs but they were not popular. Then came ‘Ten O’clock’ (1958) and then the next film was ‘Saaya’ (1961). His last film was ‘Suhaani Raat’ (1974). In between, a film ‘Postmaster'(1955) remained unreleased.

Slowly Ram Ganguly was forgotten . He stopped getting films. No one came to him. Finally, frustrated, he left for Calcutta and died there sometime in 1983.

2. DS aka Dada Salvi – This was his last Hindi film. Dinkar Shivram Salvi (04 December 1904 – 29 October 1980) better known as screen name “Dada Salvi”, was an actor of the silent and talkie era of Indian Cinema. He was a part of the first Indian talkie film ‘Alam Ara’ (1931). He has acted in 20 silent movies. He has worked in Hindi & Marathi movies.

Dinkar Shivram Salvi aka Dada Salvi was born on 04 December 1904 in a village Phansob in Ratnagiri, Bombay Presidency, undivided India, now in Maharashtra. After completing his education, he joined the Police Department. During service period, he was taking part in plays. Shri Tipnis, a well known play master saw Salvi and advised to come to Bombay. Acting in plays became a part of his life, so he decided to leave the job and came to Bombay.

In Bombay, Tipnis introduced Salvi to KB Athawale, working as manager, actor, director in Excelsior Film Company owned by Seth Wazeer Aziz. The company was searching for talented actors and Athwale offered Salvi to join Excelsior Film Company on a monthly salary of ₹ 25. Salvi accepted the job & joined Excelsior Film Company.

Salvi’s first silent film was ‘Khoon-e-Nahaq’ (1928) and became very popular. Looking at his potential in acting, the Imperial Film Company offered Dalvi work with higher monthly pay. After joining Imperial Film Company, Salvi acted in 20 silent films like ‘Madan Manjri’, ‘Indira BA’, ‘Bhola Shikar’, ‘Cinema Girl’, ‘Hamara Hindustan’, ‘Raat Ki Baat’, ‘Khuda Ki Shaan’ and many more. It is said, while working with Imperial Film Company, Salvi fell in love with his co-actress Sakhubai & later they married. Probably it was the first love marriage of the first Maharashtrian acting couple of Hindi films.

Salvi worked with Jayant Desai in the film ‘Poladi Pahelwan – Iron Man’ (1931) for Paramount Films. He also acted in Marathi films like ‘Aut Ghatkecha Raja’, ‘Bhakta Prahlad’, ‘Chatrapati Sambhaji’, ‘Thaksen Rajputra’ under Dadasaheb Torne of Saraswati Cinetone. Salvi’s role in ‘Chatrapati Sambhaji” as Sambhaji’s evil advisor Kalusha Kabji won him great acclaim. Impressed with the acting of Salvi as Kalusha Kabji, Hans Pictures, Kolhapur, invited him to join them on a three figure salary. Salvi left Imperial and joined Hans.

‘Premveer’ (1937) was Salvi’s first film with Hans Pictures. This was a turning point in his career where he came to be associated with Master Vinayak and Marathi Films. Their team led to many wonderful performances. He was then seen mostly in Marathi Films with an occasional Hindi film. In ‘Brahmchari’ (1938), Salvi played the role of the father of the heroine. Salvi acted in Marathi films like ‘Savangadi’, ‘Brandi Chi Batli’, ‘Devta’ and many more.

Later Hans Pictures changed to Navyug Chitrapat and made ‘Amrut’ (1941). Salvi then worked in many Hindi and Marathi films with Master Vinayak, V Shantaram. After 1947, Dada Salvi mainly worked in Marathi films. He acted in 23 Hindi films and even sang a song in the film ‘Awara Shahzada’ (1933).

Dada Salvi died on 29 October 1980 in Poona (Pune), Maharashtra.

Today’s song is sung by Khursheed as a solo. HFGK mentions one duet having the same mukhda, sung by Zohra Bai and Reva Shankar. However, this duet is not available on YouTube. Today’s song is very pleasant. Enjoy. . .

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

The song presented in this post is from the movie “Magadhraj-1946’.

It was directed by R.S. Chaudhary for ‘Kamal Pictures’. It had Mumtaz Shanti, Chandra Mohan, Baburao Pendharkar, Sulochana Chatterjee, Harish, Anita Sharma, Pande, Feroz Dastoor, Munshi Khanjar, Ibrahim and others.

This movie has ten songs which were penned by Pandit Indra. Music for this movie was composed by Bulo C. Rani.

HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950) mentions the name of the singers for six songs out of ten songs. The singers are Mohantara Talpade, Hamida Banu, and Feroz Dastoor. For the remaining four songs the name of the singers is not mentioned/not known.

One song from this movie was posted on the blog almost ten years ago on 16.04.2013. This song is ‘laakh karo chaturaayi’ which was presented by Atul ji and in fact it was uploaded by him then, since the songs from this movie were not easily available at that time. However, now one can locate a few more songs of this movie that have since become available on the internet.

Today we listen to the second song from this movie. It is sung by Hamida Banu. As mentioned above lyrics for the today’s song are by Pt Indra and music is composed by Bulo C. Rani.

Let us listen to the song now. Only audio of this song is available.

I would request readers to add more information about this movie and its songs please.

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

In this post we are going to listen to a song sung by Naseem Akhtar from the movie ‘Sohni Mahiwal-1946’.

This movie had made its debut on the blog on 13.09.2014 with a duet song sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali and G.M. Durrani.
Thereafter another duet sung by the same duo was posted soon on 18.09.2014.

However, the third song appeared on the blog after a long gap of almost seven years. This song – a solo song sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali – was posted on 18.06.2021.

The fourth song from this movie, another solo by Zohrabai Ambalewali, was posted on 13.04.2022.

Today we are going to listen to the fifth song from this movie.

‘Sohni Mahiwal-1946’ was directed by Ishwar Lal and Ravindra Jaikar for ‘Jayant Desai Productions, Bombay’.

It had Ishwar Lal, Begam Para, Mubarak, Dixit, Rewashankar, Sayeed Ahmed, Gharpure, Bibibai, Shobha, Nafis Begam, Kesharbai and others.

This movie had as many as eleven songs. Nine songs were written by Swami Ramanand and two songs by Munshi Dil.
Music for this movie was composed by Lal Mohammad.

(I had in my earlier post with a song from this movie hd given the list of all songs from this movie and hence I am not repeating it here.)

The voice of Zohrabai Ambalewali appears in as many as eight songs of this movie. We have so far covered four of her songs from the movie on the blog.

Today we present a song sung by Naseem Akhtar from this movie ‘Sohni Mahiwal-1946’. This song is again a song from ‘falling in love category song’ 🙂 or ‘where one’s heart is stolen by someone’ (‘dil ka chori honaa’ or ‘dil churaa ke le jaanaa’ is another common thing in our ‘surroundings’ (or films only?) even now, or was it? :), and so here is a complaint for that 🙂 )

Lyrics are by Swami Ramanand and music is composed by Lal Muhammad.

Only the audio of this song is available.

Let us listen to this song now…

We observe that two movies (out of nine) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 11 March 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. So, there are seven movies that are still unYIPPEED and therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (11 March 2023).

“Room No 9″(1946) is one such BTYC eligible movie today. This movie was directed by Vedi for Navyug Chitrapat. The movie had Geeta Nizaami, Shyam, K.N.Singh, Saroj Borkar, Dar Kashmiri, Raj Biswas, Randhir, Raja Paranjape, Ratan Bai, Kamla, Keshari etc in it.

“Room No 9″(1946) had 8 songs in it. Three of these songs have been covered in the past.

Here is the fourth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Saroj Borkar. Nakshab is the lyricist. Music is composed by Rashid Atre.

Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that Saroj Borkar acted in the movie, it is safe to assume that the song was picturised on herself.

Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Today’s song is from a C grade Stunt film – Fighting Hero-1946.

1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.

The second World War had just ended, which had created inumerable millionaires, fed on black marketing and illegal trades in the war period. Many of them were keen on investing their ill gotten wealth in the film industry. Thus, there was no dearth of finances in the industry. From 1946 to around the early years of the 50’s, some of these ” novo-rich” persons provided finance. Some even tried their hand at directing films or even acting in it. Let us see what other things happened during this period.

By 1946 to 1950 old towers shook hard to crumble. The studio system almost disappeared. Film industry could now boast of people highly educated, talented and hard working. Even artistes with International experience and success like Dewan Sharar, Shakuntala Paranjpye, actor Ranjan, Balraj Sahni etc contributed to Indian films. The old horse of Calcutta-New Theatres broke down and actors, directors and Music specialists from Bengal made a Bee-Line to Bombay, thus making it the strongest ever film centre.

1946 was also an year of consolidation, in a sense that due to the iminent Partition of India on the basis of Religion, agreed upon by Gandhi-Nehru combine, made Muslim artistes and filmmakers plan to pack their bags and move over to the new Utopia across the border. Their vacancies were to be filled up by the waiting second line of actors,directors and MDs. The film industry was to have a complete new look within 1-2 years and the beginning was from 1946. Thus the year was very important.

The year 1946 was an year which saw many changes in the film industry. The II world war had just ended. Rationing and control on many items had created Black marketing. This made many people Millionaires. The extra income started getting invested in Film making. The increased cost of Raw Films made filmmaking 7 to 8 times costlier. A film which was made in about 1 Lakh rupees in 1940, needed 8 Lakhs now. Studio system was waning and artiste rates increased in Lakhs instead of thousands.

In 1945, only74 films were made. This number increased to 153 films in 1946. Further, in 1947, the film industry produced a record number of films – 181, but of course that was due to Partition. The quality of films was sacrificed at the cost of the quantity of films made in 1946. However, some quality films were made in 1946, indicating the changing face of filmmaking.

Film Dharati ke Lal-46 was made by IPTA people and it became the first film to be exhibited in Russia. Neecha Nagar-46 won the Grand Prix award in the French Film Festival. Film Dr. Kotnis ki amar kahani-46 was dubbed in English as ‘ The journey of Dr. Kotnis’. It was shown in the USA and then in the Venice Film Festival. Two musical films- Anmol Ghadi and Shahjahan were made in 1946.

Year 1946 also saw the Debut of several stars and artistes. In fact one can call 1946 as the ” Debut year” of the Hindi film industry. See this….

Nirupa Roy debuted in film Amar Raaj-46

Nasreen (real name Zareena), daughter of Rafiq Gaznavi and Anwari bai had debuted in her first released film ” Shahjahan-1946.

Geeta Bali debuted with a dance in film Badnami-46

Geeta Roy sang her first film song in film Bhakta Prahlad-46

Balraj Sahni debuted in the film Insaaf-46. It was a small role,though.

K A Abbas-Director, Pt.Ravi Shankar-MD, Balraj Sahni as Hero and Damayanti Sahni as Heroine made their Debut in film Dharti Ke Lal-46

Meena kapoor sang her first released Hindi film song in the film Eight Days-46. She also recorded her first Hindi film song in the film ‘Door Chalen’-1946, which was released later than the film Eight Days-46.

Sudhir Phadke debuted as MD in film Gokul-46

P L Santoshi as Director, Dev Anand, Rehman, Rehana and Kamla Kotnis debuted as actors in film Hum Ek Hai-46

Chitragupta did his first film as MD in Lady Robin Hood-46

Ram Ganguly became MD with film Maharana Pratap-46

Abhi Bhattacharya debuted in Hindi film Milan-46

Chetan Anand as Director, Uma Anand and Kamini kaushal as actresses debuted in film Neecha Nagar-46

Hansraj Behl debuted as MD with film Pujari-46

Madhubala(as Baby Mumtaz) sang her first song in film Pujari-46

Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote his first Hindi film song in film Shahjahan-46

S D Burman as MD and Kishore Kumar as an actor debuted with film Shikari-46

So, you will find the year 1946 was truly an year of change. The winds of Partition were already blowing and the second line of supplementary artistes was ready to replace the Migrators, after the Partition.

Film Fighting Hero-46 was produced by Keshav k. Talpade, under his own banner- Talpade productions, Bombay. He also directed the film. He had already directed another film-Stunt king-in 1944, so he got confidence. Later he also directed 2 more films for Basant Pictures of Homi Wadia and directed Fearless Nadia in Tigress-48 and Maya Mahal-49. After this his name does not appear anywhere. Keshav was earlier in the petrochemical business and apparently had earned a lot. However after this one film – Fighting Hero he did not produce any other film. He purposely chose this Genre of stunt films, because in that period, this was a genre in which a stunt film could be made in 5 to 7 lakhs only. Further it did not require well known actors or Music directors.

The Music Director for this film was Chitragupt for whom this was only the third film as a Music Director, having debuted in the same year with the film Lady Robin Hood-46. Chitragupt (16-11-1917 to 14-1-1991) later became a Melody maker giving music to 149 films and composing 1036 songs. He also sang29 songs in 16 films. He was one of my favourite composers. Though a genius, he was not lucky enough to ever join the grade A MDs simply because he did not get any famous film house as a mentor.

The film had only 6 songs, 3 of which were sung by Mohantara Talpade, niece of the Producer/Director. She started in 1942 and sang 117 songs in 54 films till 1958. She was a very popular singer in marathi films and NFS. She was born on 24-10-1926 in Bombay. She studied upto matriculation. She learnt music from Heerabai Zaveri, Shyamalabai Mazgaonkar and Navrang Master too. Khemchand Prakash recorded her first song in 1941 but her song in the film Mamaji-1942 was released first. It was composed by H.C.Bali, who was responsible for Saigal’s entry in films.

1946 was the best year for her as she sang in 12 films in 1946. Her best period was 1946 to 1948. Then Lata overtook and she fell back. She was married in 1949 and took a 3 years’ gap to raise a family. She became Mohantara Ajinkya. From 1952 to 1955 again she sang. Then she shifted to Marathi and became popular there.

The cast of the film included Sudha Rao, Iqbal Begum, Kavita Sardesai, Romesh Vyas, Moolchand, Niranjan Sharma and others. Except Moolchand and Niranjan Sharma, I do not know about anyone else in the cast. Moolchand made his acting Debut in this film. He acted in 131 films till the film Toofan-1989. He died on 18-12-1988. Niranjan Sharma was a well known Character actor. He too made his Debut in this film. He worked in 129 films till mata vaishno devi-1971. He wrote Lyrics in 3 films for 23 songs. Niranjan Sharma wrote the story and Dialogues of the film Fighting Hero-1946, besides acting in it. All in all, I guess this must be one of the most economically made films of that time.

Today’s song is sung by Mohantara Talpade and written by I.C.Kapoor.
