Only one song is being covered daily most of the days, with some exceptions. Do our regulars recall the date when the blog saw its last century ? Last blog century, which was song post number 18000 for the blog was posted on 18 september 2023 (Blog day number 5540). Today is 6 December 2023 (blog day number 5619). 79 days have passed since the last blog century. So it is clear that the blog is averaging just over one song a day from that day, thus the blog is living upto its name “song a day”. 🙂

Today’s song is from the film Nazaare-1949.

It was a film made in the Cine Factory of Ranjit Movietone. It was called a ‘Cine Factory’ because, on all the 8 shooting floors of its studio, continuous shootings went on. Not only their own films, but outside producers also took the floors on rent and made their films. All materials like cameras, helpers, editing and sound facilities, mini theatre and all that was required to make a film was available in Ranjit, including actors, actresses, Lyricists, Music Directors, Directors and what not !

In 1932, films like Indrasabha had 69 songs, Chatra Bakavali had 49 songs and Gulru Zarina had 33 songs !

Today’s song is from the film Sipahiya-1949.

When India got independence in 1947 and the British Rule ended, the Indian public breathed a sigh of relief. Especially, the film industry felt like coming out of a prison. During British rule, there were so many restrictions, specially during the war period, on the filmmaking – like, you can’t show the British in bad light, you can’t speak about Independence openly, you can’t criticise Government policies etc etc. Even the wordings of songs and dialogues were under a sharp lens. The best example of this oppression was the song in the film ” Kismet”-1943, ‘Aaj Himalay ki choti se ‘ written by Kavi Pradeep. He had to go underground to avoid arrest for this song !

Today’s song is from the film Ladli-1949.

The year 1949 falls under the “Golden Era” of HFM. There are as many dates as there are so called “Experts” on HFM. Some say the period is from 1950 to 1970, others say it was from 1945 to 1980 and still some more vouch for 1947 to 1960. As a ‘Rasik’ and a student of Old Hindi films and Music (but not an expert), I feel the GOLDEN ERA should be from 1946 to 1970 – a cool period of 25 years (both years included).

Today’s song is from the film Dhoomketu (1949).

There was one more film having the same title in 1985, but that film had a credible story dealing with some scientific research etc. However today’s film was only a C grade stunt film and had nothing to do with Astronomy or any other science. It was a plain, simple, predictable stunt film. Dhoomketu (Comet) is the name of the film’s Hero. In my entire life I have never come across such a name in any language or any state of India. Hats off to the story writer of this film.
