Today’s song is from a Historical film – Andolan-1951.

The film was produced by Harnam Motwane, for his own banner Motwane Ltd. Bombay. It was directed by Phani Mujumdar and the music was by Pannalal Ghosh.

The film had in its cast Kishore Kumar, Shivraj, Krishnakant, Sachinn Shankar- Dancer, Parshuram, Tiwari, manju, Pushpa and many others. There were 3 lyricists and 8 singers for only 5 songs of the film.

film Andolan-1951 was a less known serious film. It is likely that most people have not even heard its name. I have not seen this film. But this is what its film booklet says-“In the year 1885, Charu Dutt, a worldly-wise patriot, journeys from his little village to attend the first session of the Indian National Congress, held in Bombay. A fire with patriotic zeal, he returns to his village and speaks to his friends and relatives of the new wave that is about to spread over India. To his son he explains the cultural and political past of India, from the dawn of her history upto the turbulence of 1857. . The years roll on, and we come to the partition of Bengal. There is thunder in the air, and India’s inspiring song, “Bande Mataram”, is born. . The struggle gathers strength. Mahatma Gandhi appears, and freedom comes closer…..1920….1921….. Simon Commission, Bardoli, Dandi, 1930….1932….the battle rages and the drams heightens, and thus, August 1942, Quit India, and on to the final chapter in our freedom story, which unfolds in this film as the story of a single family, representing the nation of which they are the heart-beats. ”

Today’s song is from a Mythological film Hanuman Pataal Vijay-1951.

The film was made by Basant Pictures of Homi Wadia, who was the Producer and the Director of this film. It is very strange that a person who separated from his own brother on the issue of making stunt/action films- which he advocated- resorted to making social and Mythological films and his brother, who advocated making films other than stunt/action films, continued to make stunt films ! One wonders why at all they separated then !

The film had music by the Wadia favourite – S.N.Tripathi, who also expertly acted as Hanuman in such films. The cast of the film included Meena Kumari, Mahipal, Niranjan Sharma (a fixed actor as Ravan in every Wadia film), S.N.Tripathi, Dalpat, H. Prakash, Amarnath, Rajni (daughter of Bhudo Advani’s brother) and many others. The 4 Lyricists of the film wrote 8 songs.

Today’s song is from a Remake film from the South- Sansar-1951.

The film was made by S.S.Vasan for his own banner Gemini Pictures, Madras. It was also directed by him. There were 3 MDs – M.D.Parthasarathy, E. Shankar Sastri and B.S.Kalla. All the songs were composed jointly by Shankar and Kalla. As per Vasan’s system, Parthasarathy was in the team as a Supervisor.

The cast was a mixed one. The leading pair Pushpavalli and M.K.Radha and majority of other artists were from the original south film. A few artists were from Hindi films like Gulab, Mohana Cabral, Meera, Agha , David, Casshyap and Anil Kumar were taken to give the film a Hindi touch.

Today’s song is the last and final song of the social film Bade Bhaiya-1951.

As seen in the ‘Hindi film Index’ by Hamraz ji, I found that there were at least 25 films having titles of ‘Bada’, ‘Badi’ and ‘Bade’. There was also another film Bade Bhaiya made in 1957. There films like Bada bhai, Badi behen (3 films), Badi Beti, Bada Ghar, Bade nawab, Bade miyan, Bade Saheb, Bade Sarkar, Bade thakur, Badi bahu, Badi baat etc. etc.

The film Bade Bhaiyya-1951 was probably one of the last films in which actor Agha was the Hero. The film was made by Super Pictures, Bombay. The owner of the banner- Aspi Irani was also the director of this film. The music was by Premnath ( Wadhwan), who was a member of the ‘Same Name Confusion’ pair with actor Premnath (Malhotra). Looking at the persona of actor Premnath, it was strange how so many people thought that he also gave music. Of course actor Premnath actually had received a regular training in classical music from Ustad Jagannath Prasad. He had also sung 2 songs in Hindi films, Rangbhoomi-1946 and Chand Sitare- 1948. However, he stopped singing after that.

Today’s song is from an absolutely obscure film – Maldar-1951.

I called it an absolutely obscure film, because except what is given in the HFGK, no other information on this film is available anywhere – neither in any books nor anywhere on the Internet. Even the film booklet is not available (either not printed for cost saving or less number printed to economise). It just came and went.

It was a Debut film for Amit Mitra – Director, Satish Bhatia – Music Director, Usha Bhatia – Playback singer, Roshan Joshi – Playback singer and Pran – Lyricist. Since we do not know the credits for other departments, we are unaware of that part.

The cast of the film was Balraj Sahni, Smriti Biswas, Chhabi Biswas, Neelima and others. The 8 songs of this film, composed by Satish Bhatia were quite nice but not good enough to compete, stand out or remain in memory compared to the other songs of the Golden Era of Film Music. 1951 had offered much more melodious songs by well known composers.
