Today, November 2nd is the 128th birth anniversary of the producer-director-actor, Sohrab Modi (02/11/1897 – 28/01/1984) who was one of the pioneers of Hindi film industry with sincerity embedded in his works. What all I know about him through the articles and interviews is that the filmmaking was his passion. He developed his own art of dialogue delivery in chaste Urdu, thanks to his childhood spent in Rampur where he did his early schooling. His dialogue delivery became his hallmark in the films.
After completion of his matriculation examination, Sohrab Modi sought guidance from the principal of his school as to what type of career he should persue. The principal said that hearing to the quality of his voice, he should either become a politician or an actor. He chose to be an actor. In this context, Sohrab Modi shared a trivia that when his film. ‘Sheesh Mahal’ (1950) was released at Minerva theatre in Mumbai, he observed that one of the persons seated in the audience had dozed off. He called the theatre manager to take him out and refund his ticket price assuming that he was not keeping well. However, the theatre manager reported back to him that the person was visually impaired and he had come to the theatre only to listen to Sohrab Modi’s dialogues. At that time, Sohrab Modi remembered what his school principal had said about his voice. [Source: Film Division documentary on Sohrab Modi].

Today’s song is from the film Shankar Parvati-1943.
The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This was a rare occasion when Ranjit was making a Mythological movie, but to make use of the dancing skill of the film’s Heroine Sadhana Bose, it decided to make this film, in which there was plenty of scope for her dancing. The film was directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi and the music was by Gyan Dutt. Songs were by Pt. Indra. The cast of the film included Sadhana Bose-as Parvati, Arun Ahuja-as Shankar, Kamala Chaterjee, Rewa Shankar, Narmada Shankar, Mahipal, Sulochana, Shyam and others.

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 parva – The Ashwamedha Parva of Mahabharat in the sub–parva 91-92.

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.
