Today’s song is from the film Manmani-1947.

The film was made by Patel productions. It was directed by Sarvottam Badami and the music was composed by the great one from Bengal – Kamal Dasgupta. Kamal Dasgupta earned fame when he composed many NFS in Hindi and Bengali in the mid 1930 and the 1940s. These became very popular, but somehow his Hindi film music was not that popular, except for the films Jawab-1942 and Hospital-1943, out of the 16 Hindi films for which he gave music. His best song for which he will always be remembered was ” Ye duniya Toofan mail” from the film Jawab-1942. Kamal Dasgupta could not impress with his other film songs in Hindi. 1947 was, in any case, a testing period due to the commotion prevailing in the film industry of Bombay which was affected the most.

Hullo Atuldom

1st August is the date when Meena Kumari was born as Mahjabeen Bano.

She had a career spanning 33 years, starting as a child artist in 1939. At a young age of 5 she became the bread-winner of her family. Fans of Meena Kumari know that she went on to adult roles from 1946 when she appeared in ‘Bachchon Ka Khel’ & ‘Duniya Ek Sarai’. ‘Baiju Bawra’ & ‘Parineeta’ helped her gain prominence as an actress. Till the late 1950s she had acted in films ranging from drama to comedy to fantasy before “Chiraag Kahaan Roshni Kahan”; “Main Chup Rahungi” & such other movies earned her ‘tragedy-queen’ sobriquet. Personally I liked her ‘chulbuli’ characters in “Miss Mary”, “Kohinoor”, “Azaad” etc.

This song post marks the 18400th song in the blog as well as 1001st song of Geeta Dutt in the blog.

Today’s special post marks the 18400th song to be posted on the blog. It is being posted on 20th July 2024 which marks 52 years since the honey voiced Geeta Dutt left for her heavenly abode, too early at the age of just 41 years old leaving behind three children and a legacy that can never be forgotten by music lovers.

This post also marks her 1001st song to be posted on the group. We normally combine artists century songs with the blog’s century songs but we had erred in counting Geeta Dutt songs in the blog and She was already on 1000 songs. So this song is 1001st song of hers (sort of like a shagun) to mark the 18400th song on the blog.

Geeta Dutt is the fifth playback singer and 10th artist to complete 1000 songs in the blog. Lata, Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar are the other playback singers with 1000 plus songs in the blog. Two music directors duos (Shankar Jaikishan, Laxmikant Pyarelal) and three lyricists (Rajinder Krishan, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Anand Bakshi) are the other artists with 1000 plus songs in the blog.
