Today’s song is a duet from the film Caravan-1944.

This was yet another film rolled out by Ranjit Movietone, who took pride in claiming that they have ” more stars in their studio, than are in the Sky !” and that they had 8 shooting floors, the most among the existing studios.

In olden days, there were 3 major film centres-Bombay, Lahore and Calcutta. After 1947, all the Hindi film activity at Lahore shifted to Bombay. By mid 50’s even Calcutta almost stopped making Hindi films. Many Hindi speaking artistes in various disciplines of film making shifted to Bombay and finally Bombay became the only and the main Hindi film making Centre.

The year 1947 is a reminder not only for the Independence of India, but also for the upheaval that took place in the film industry at that time. More than in any other industry in India, Muslims were plentiful, working in different sections and departments of the Hindi film industry. Majority of them migrated to the newly formed Muslim Nation of Pakistan. This did create a lot of disturbance in the film industry. Right from the beginning of 1947, there were signs that soon the British would leave India – after dividing it into two Nations, India and Pakistan. When the month and date became known for the Partition, there was a great hurry among the filmmakers to complete their projects on hand and in process, compromising many factors like quality of the film, number of songs and such other things.

Today’s song is from a social film-Us Paar-1944.

The film was made under the banner of Sun Art Pictures. It was directed by Chiman Lal Luhar and the music was given by Firoz Nizami, B.A.

Those days, film industry had very few educated persons and those who were graduates, proudly flaunted their degrees after their names. Of course not everyone did that. The director Chiman Lal Luhar was also a Science graduate, but he never put B.Sc. after his name. Not that it added to their popularity or it was in any way helpful in improving their performance but it was a tool to make them more respected in the crowd of film fraternity.

Today’s song is a marching song from the film ‘Veer Babruwahan’ (1950).

Now, the name ‘Babruwahan’ is a strange name and I am sure most readers have never heard it, at least those who are below 60 years of age. I heard his story for the first time from my grandfather when I was about 8 years old. Being an odd name and sounding even funny, it remained in my memory. Later I found his story in the 14th parvaThe Ashwamedha Parva of Mahabharat in the subparva 91-92.

Today’s song is from the film Room No. 9 (1946).

There were 2 more rooms on which films were made – Room No. 17 and Room No.203. I wonder what happened to the other rooms ? I am also hurt by the title of a film as ” B-13 -Fear has a New Address” made in 2009. My flat number in Mumbai is B-13 and I never ever saw any Atulite frightened in my flat when so many ASAD meetings were held here ! And also when some members had stayed here overnight also ! However, I did not file any case against the film’s producer, lest it became ‘ an address to fear ‘ for him !

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.81
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (19 April 2013), eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
7927 Uthho uthho hey Bharat Bharat Milaap(1942) 3 songs covered out of 11 by now
7928 Ab Raam raaj ki aage suno kahaani Jai Hanuman (1948) 2 songs covered out of 12 by now
7929 Bogi bogi bogi Ham Log(1951) Movie YIPPEED by now
7930 Jis din se miley tum ham Lalkaar(1956) 3 songs covered out of 8 by now
7931 Aag raag se aag lagaa do Sultan e Aalam (1956) 2 songs covered out of 8 by now
7932 Pyaasi hai mamta meri aa jaa re Maa Beta (1962) 4 songs covered out of 7 by now
7933 Tosey naina lagaa ke main haari Ishaaraa (1964) Movie YIPPEED by now
7934 Baar baar haan bolo yaar haan Lagaan (2001) 4 songs covered out of 7 by now

We observe that two movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 19 april 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. So we have six unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (19 April 2023).

That date ten years ago happened to be Ramnavami. On that occasion, a couple of Lord Ram related songs were covered from Lord Ram related movies. First movie was “Bharat Milaap” (1942) and second movie was “Jai Hanuman”(1948).

“Bharat Milaap” (1942) has already been taken up under BTYC earlier today. That leaves us with “Jai Hanuman”(1948) as the next Lord Ram related movie.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 46
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 15 March 2013, eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7681 Man baat na meri maane Rangeen Kahaani (1947) 2 songs covered out of 9 by now

We observe that five movies (out of 8) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 15 march 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with three movies that are still unYIPPEED and are therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 43
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years back viz on 14 March 2013, nine songs from eight different movies (plus one Non Film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
7672 Ud jaa re ud jaa papeehe Vishkanya(1943) 7 songs covered out of 12 by now
7673 Nanha sa dil deti hoon Chandan(1941) one song covered out of 12 by now
7674 Kuchh keh na sake kuchh keh bhi gaye Shahnaaz(1948) 8 songs covered out of 12 by now
7675 Sur ki gati main kyaa jaanoon Mukesh NFS(1950)
7676 Ek matwaala aaj chala apni manzil ko Aapki Parchhaiyaan (1964) Movie YIPPEED by now
7677 Aaye re din saawan ke Gaban (1966) Movie YIPPEED by now
7678 Badla dilwaayegaa yaa rab Alam Ara(1931) Songs unavailable
7679 Kaho kahaan chalen Bulandi(1980) One song out of 6 covered by now
7680 Papa kehte hain bada naam karega Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) 3 songs covered out of 6 by now

It can be seen that out of two movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 14 March 21013) have since been YIPPEED. So technically six movies are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today. But in reality, songs of some of the movies are unavailable.

“Shahnaaz”(1948) is one of the movies that is eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today. This movie was directed by Sheikh for Wahab Productions, Bombay. The movie had Begum Para, Altaf, Nihal, Shanta Patel, Mustafa, P.D.Lal, Shama Gulnar, Bashir, Sheikh etc in it.
