#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
Today’s song is from the movie ‘Shareef Daaku-1960’. This movie is making its debut on the blog today. It seems to be an obscure movie of its time.
One big advantage of the internet era is that sharing of resources has become easy. It has enabled music lovers to share music from obscure movies that would have remained out of reach of most music lovers if there was no internet. Songs from old movies that were considered very rare songs and even lost songs have become available with time for the listening pleasure of music lovers. One cannot thank the uploaders of such songs enough. Music lovers will remain grateful for their generosity in sharing such rare musical gems online.

‘Taqdeer Ki Tope’ (1939) was produced and directed by Vithaldas Panchotia under the banner of Shri Bharat Lakshmi Pictures. The cast included Master Nissar, Husn Bano, Vithaldas Panchotia, Jyotsana Gupta, Sultana Banu, Fakir Mohammed, Abdul Kabuli, Narbada Shankar, Master Gama, Shanti Devi, Aruna Devi etc. I have no idea about the genre of the film. I came across the name of the film while listening, for the first time, the audio clip of a song rendered by Master Nisaar. I found the song interesting because it is rendered by Master Nissar in the Hindustani semi-classical style. Before I listened to the song, I was under the impression that Master Nissar was an actor first and had to sing for himself as during his time, the playback singing system was yet to be evolved. But his voice sounded like a trained singer.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee has been known to make the family-oriented and ‘slice of the life’ types of films such as ‘Anuradha. (1960), ‘Anupama’ (1966), ‘Aashirwaad’ (1968), ‘Satyakam’ (1969), ‘Anand’ (1970), ‘Guddi’ (1971) and many more. When the film, ‘Sabse Bada Sukh’ (1972) was announced to be produced and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, it became a topic of discussion in the film magazines at that time because it was a sex comedy which was a departure from the usual theme of his films. It was a low budget film probably because Hrishikesh Mukherjee was taking a risk of experimenting with a story which was out of his comfort zone. The cast included Vijay Arora, Faiyyaz, Robi Ghosh, Naarghita, Rajnibala, Utpal Dutt, Asrani, Keshto Mukherjee, Tarun Ghosh, Meena Rai etc.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #

In this post I am presenting a song from the 1948 movie ‘Aap Beeti’. Geet Kosh spells this movie as ‘Aap Biti’ and that may also be the case for the Censor Certificate of this movie. I do not remember if I have ever heard any song from this movie earlier. Two songs from this movie are available on this blog.
‘Aap Beeti-1948’ was directed by Kumar for ‘Kumar Studios Limited, Bombay’. It had Khursheed, Kumar, E. Bilimoria, Agha, Leela Mishra, Pramila, Mehndi Raza, Agha Peer Jaan, Hameed, Shabnam, Girdhari, Chandrakala, Hainak, Afroz Bano and Indira Acharya and others. This movie has nine songs which were composed to music by Hari Bhai.

Today, December 10, 2025, is the 24th Remembrance Day of Kumudlal Ganguly, well-known by his screen name, Ashok Kumar (13/10/1911 – 10/12/2001), the first super star and the Bhishma Pitamah of Hindi films. He was conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1988 for his contributions to Indian Cinema and Padma Bhushan Award in 1999.
Ashok Kumar was the eldest among four siblings and his father, a practicing lawyer in Khandwa wanted him to follow his profession. He was admitted to a law college in Kolkata where he may have been influenced by New Theatres films thus creating his interest in cinema. But his interest was confined to the technical side of the film making. He joined The Bombay Talkies as a laboratory technician where his brother-in-law (sister’s husband), Sashadhar Mukerji was a sound engineer and production manager in 1934.
