Decoit films have been an important genre of Hindi films for a long time. Perhaps, the first talkie film in this genre was ‘Daaku Mansoor (1934) which was directed by Nitin Bose with K L Saigal in the title role. But, after going through the synopsis, the film appeared to be more of a costume drama than a decoit film though the story involved a decoit.

The genre of decoit films started attaining prominence during 1950s and 60s, probably in the background of the stories that were circulated in the newspapers about the prominent decoits of Chambal valley and elsewhere. The newspapers sensationalised the dread decoits like Gabbar Singh, Maan Singh, Mohar Singh, Putli Bai etc on their daring dacoity and the fear they instilled in their area of operations. Such news became the inspirations for many Hindi films such as ‘Mother India’ (1957), ‘Ganga Jamuna’ (1961), ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’ (1962), ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’ (1963) etc. This trend continued in the 1970s with films like ‘Mera Gaon Mera Desh’ (1971), ‘Khotey Sikkey’ (1973), ‘Kachhe Dhaage’ (1973), Sholay’ (1975), ‘Ganga Ki Saugandh’ (1978) etc. In recent years, ‘Paan Singh Tomar’ (2014) and ‘Sonchiraiya’ (2019) were made with decoit stories.

The street songs comprising any public places have been a part of many Hindi films which became prominent in 1950s and 60s. Such songs generally get picturised on lesser-known actors. Within the category of street songs, there is an interesting sub-category in which the street singer conveys the inner feelings of the main actors, usually hero/heroine present to watch the street singing performance, who keeps them within their hearts. Usually, a male actor would be playing harmonium or any other musical instrument and the female actor would be dancing. The onlookers will be the bystanders among whom the film’s main actors who would be witnessing the performance. There are many songs under this sub-category of street songs. I have listed below few such songs of 1950s and 60s:

‘Ham Deewaane’ (1964) was produced by Natubhai Shah under the banner of Young India Entertainers and was directed by Master Bhagwan. The cast included Chandrashekhar, Master Bhagwan, Mumtaz, Helen, Iftekhar, Agha, Rajan Haksar, Maruti, Kundan, Anwar, Kanchanmala etc. This film was one among many attempts by Master Bhagwan to revive his filmy career which was being reduced to acting in small roles. However, this film was also an attempt to revive the musical career of C Ramchandra who composed the songs for this film as Anna Saheb, the name he had often used when associated with the films produced/directed by Master Bhagwan.

Some solace that we have a treasure of your songs to live by. Else the memories of the past would have been a difficult thing to live with.

The 1960 film ‘Naache Naagin Baaje Been’ is turning out to be a treasure hunt. The film is packed with such wonderful melodies. I pick today’s 9th song of the series from this film.
