Today’s song is from a very old film- 87 year old- Baaghbaan-1938.

The film was directed by A.R.Kardar, for whom it was his first film as a director, in Bombay. The film had music by Mushtaq Hussain, who had an assistant called Naushad Ali from Lucknow. In the later years Naushad became a successful and very famous composer. Baaghbaan-38 had music by Mushtaq Hussain, who was considered an Ustaad in Classical Music in those days. Naushad, who became a well known Music Director later was assistant to Mushtaq Hussain in Baaghbaan and Industrial India-1938. Hussain started with Aurat ka pyar-1933 and went on to give music to films like, Step Mother, Balaa ki Raat, Zalzalaa, Bhedi trishul, Baaghbaan, Industrial India, Pati patni, Kkanyadaan etc, a total of about 30 films. His last film as Music Director was Bombay-1949. Hussain’s forte was Semi-classical songs, Thumaris and ghazals.

Hullo Atuldom

Another date of October for which I always need to write out a post for.

It being the birth date of an actor whose work I began liking post 1975- “Sholay” to be exact. I liked the way he delivered his dialogues. Some dramatic dialogues which he had casually uttered are iconic and classic and stuff which fans quote as legendary.

Today’s song is from an old film Baghbaan-1938. There was one more film Baghbaan made in 2003, but the story was different. One film having similarity in name was film Baadbaan made in 1954. This too was a different one.

Baghbaan-38 was the first film of A R Kardar as a Director in Bombay, after his very successful foray in to the Calcutta Film world. This film was made by General Films, Bombay.The music was by Mushtaq Hussain, who had a young, ambitious and talented assistant for this film, whose name was Naushad. Yes, he is the same Naushad, who paired with Kardar in later years and gave us unforgettable music from many films.

A few months back, I came across a thumri ‘ro ro nain gawaaun sajanwaa aan milo’ sung by Ashraf Khan. I liked this thumri and assumed it to be a traditional thumri bandish rather than from a Hindi film. I marked it in my play list and forgot about it. It was only when I read an article on actor-singer Ashraf Khan written by Arun Kumar Deshmukh as part of a series of his articles on some lesser known singers for this blog that I realised that the thumri sung by Ashraf Khan which I referred to earlier was in fact a thumri based song from the film ‘Baaghbaan’ (1938).
