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.

Today’s song is from the film Pyas-1941.
The year 1941 was an year which would start the realignment, improvement, trials, changes and introduction of new waves in acting, singing, direction and the story contents. Many ‘Carried Forward’ baggage from the silent film era were to be discarded- like Music based on stage and dramas in Parsi, Gujarathi and Marathi languages. New Genres were to be opened up to make this entertainment more acceptable. Additionally the second world war, started in 1939 end period, had an unpredictable duration and the film industry would have to cope up with the British Government’s expectations from the film industry.

Today’s song is from the film Aaj ka Hindustan-1940.
The second world war had already begun in 1939 and the British Government had promulgated many restrictions on the Indian people like rationing of food items. rationing of petrol and other essential items. As far as the Film industry was concerned, the Raw Film used to be imported as it was not yet made in India. The Government started a quota system for the filmmakers, based on a formula of films made in an year on average and many related parameters. This created problems for individual filmmakers who made films at random and had no studio of their own.

Today’s song is from the film Khamosh Sipahi-(1950).
The film was made by Maansarovar Pictures, Bombay, owned by Dinanath Madhok, who was not only its producer, co-director, story and script writer but also its Lyricist. The music was by Hansraj Behl and the film had its co- director Ram Kamlani, the youngest brother of comedian Gope. HFGK gives only 4 names in the cast-Nigar Sultana, Sohan, Gope and David. Surely there must be more artistes but they are not mentioned. This is one of those films which is not available now and no information about its story is available anywhere.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.124
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (25 May 2013),two songs from two different movies was covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8127 | Is duniya mein sab chor chor | Bhai Bhai (1956) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
| 8128 | Aa jaa aa jaa o jaane waale | Sabak (1950) | 8 songs covered out of 10 by now |
We observe that one movie (out of two) whose songs were represented in the blog on this day ten years ago (on 25 May 2013) has since been YIPPEED in the blog. That leaves us with one movie which is unYIPPEED and is therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (25 May 2023).
That movie is “Sabak”(1950).
