Today’s song is a Fun song from the serious social film Padosi-1941.

The film was the last directorial offering by V.Shantaram, before he left Prabhat Film Company due to internal differences and the pressure put on him to quit the company because he wanted to marry the Company’s heroine Jayashree (Kamulkar). This was the rule in Prabhat film company that no director will ever get involved with any lady artist from the company or marry her. He should quit the company.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Maaya Bazar aka Vatsala Haran-1949.

The Ramayan and The Mahabharat are the two epics that are known to almost every Hindu person in this world. Different stories from these epics have entertained all of us from our childhood. Do you know that Mahabharat is 4 times bigger than the Ramayan ? The number of characters in Mahabharat are 10 times more than one would find in Ramayan.

September 28th is the date which the connoisseurs of Hindi film music would definitely remember for being the birthday of Lata Mangeshkar, one of the greatest singers born in the 20th century. We are fortunate that she is in the midst of us hale and hearty and continues to sing songs for Hindi films. As per http://www.myswar.com, the last song she recorded was ‘jeena kya hai jaana maine’ for the film ‘Dunno Y2 Life Is A Moment’ (2015). With a singing carrier of over 7 decades with a vast treasure of her songs as well as numerous articles and books on her life, Lata Mangeshkar does not need introduction. In fact, her introduction in a nutshell is ‘meri aawaaz hi pehchaan hai’ (My voice is the identity).

There are two beautiful songs rendered by G M Durrani in ‘Nayi Kahaani’ (1943). Fortunately, video clips of both the songs are available. In the first of the two songs, neend hamaari khwaab tumhaare kitne meethhe kitne pyaare a boy suddenly gets up from the group of musicians and start singing sargam in a ‘rapid fire’ mode and then sits down for the song to continue. He sings sargam in his own voice. Again, in hamen kya ab khizaan jaaye na jaaye , the boy gets up during the musical interlude of the song and starts conducting the orchestra. These are the ‘scene stealer’ situations in the songs which, I am sure, must have remained in the minds of the audience when they came out of the theatre after watching the film. The boy was actor-singer Balakram.

My familiarity with the film CHAAND (1944) was limited to its iconic song ‘do dilon ko ye duniyaa milne hi nahin deti’ until a few years ago. I had watched the video clip of this song many times in the past. With its beautiful lyrics, I felt that I should watch this full movie before I attempt to write an article on the song. Fortunately, the video of this film is available on the internet.
