Today’s song is from a social film “Pyaas”-1941.

Films with the title “Pyaas” were made in 1941, 1968 and 1982. Interestingly, there were 45 films having the word ‘ Pyas/Pyasa/Pyasi’ in its title as the first word. I always advocate that when a film is mentioned, for whatever reason, it is absolutely necessary that its year is also mentioned along with the title of the film. In Hindi films, it is a common phenomenon that many films with similar titles are produced in different years. I have quoted many times that a film titled ” Insaf” was produced 7 times in different years. Like the ‘ Same Name Confusion ‘ of film actors, a film itself can be a victim of ‘Same Title Confusion’ if the specific year is not mentioned.

Today’s song is from a ‘not so well known’ film Sabak-1950. Out of 10 songs of this film, 9 are already discussed here. This is the last and final song for YIPPEE.

The sudden demise of Saigal in the early part of 1947 and the stir created by India’s Independence in the latter half of 1947 sent shock waves to the film industry. The exodus of Muslim artistes from India to the newly created nation Pakistan created a void in the industry. The Indian film industry had always been a dynamic one, because it was never tied to any particular style or system. As per need it had always moulded itself to newer environments and adapted to changes – be it style of acting or drama-classical type of songs. Due to its secular nature and readiness to assimilate newer styles and music, the Indian film industry continued to prosper.

Today’s song is from an obscure film Insaan-1952.

The year of 1952 – It was just 5 years since we got our Independence and only 2 years after we became a Sovereign Democratic Republic, totally and actually free from the last contact with the British Empire, like being called a ‘Dominion Republic’. The General Elections were over and a Congress Government, as expected, took over as the new ruler. As far as the film industry was concerned, there was a huge crowd of new producers, who had a lot of black money to invest. This increased the number of films, but the quality was the victim.The proportion of quantity and quality was inverse. Film federation or the Indian government was unable to control this influx of outsiders.

Today’s song is from the film Panna Dai-1945.

One year earlier i.e. in 1944 another film Panna-1944 was released, but that one was made as a British War Propaganda movie. In that movie, the lead actress Geeta Nizami was awarded Rs. 6000 for her role, by the British Government ! Of course, the film Panna Dai-1945 was clearly a film on the historically famous Panna Dai of Rajputana for her singular supreme sacrifice for saving her King’s heir from the enemies.
