Today’s song is from an 87 year old film Jwala-1938.
The film was made by Producer/Director Master Vinayak for his banner, Huns Pictures. Going out of his tradition, he had made a different type of film. Additionally, he continued to give the music responsibility of this film also to Classical musician – Dhamman khan, who had earlier done music for the film Chhaya-1936.
Dhamman Khan was one of those giants of classical music who had developed an urge (call it itch) to try their hand at composing film music, do a film or two and return to their own comfort zone again. Some such other examples are Bhurji Khan(Kurukshetra-33), Ameer saab(Nirdosh abla-35), Nawab Khan(Mirza sahiban-35), Wamanrao Sadolikar(Naganand-35…this is C.Ramchandra’s First film as a Hero. The film ran for just ONE day !), Abdul Kareem Khan (Maut ka Toofan-35 and Voh kaun-35), Master Giyasuddin (Typist girl-35) etc etc.

Today’s song is from a film which is almost 90 years old – Chhaaya-1936.
This was the first Marathi/Hindi bilingual film made by Huns Pictures, Bombay – a banner owned by master Vinayak along with 2 others. The other partners were Baburao Pendharkar (actor/director) and Pandurang Naik (ace Cinematographer). The film was directed by Master Vinayak. Music was by Dhamman Khan. The film story, dialogues were translated by Pt. Indra, who also acted in this film. He wrote all the 14 songs of the Hindi version.
This was the period of tragic films by Saigal. His famous film Devdas, based on a story by Sharat Babu, became famous and popular all over the Indian subcontinent. This led to a trend in other languages to make tragedy films, in which the Hero dies. In the original Bangla language film, P.C.Barua had acted as Devdas. K.L.Saigal acted in its Hindi and Tamil version, singing 2 songs in the Tamil version. Barua directed the Bangla, Hindi and Assamese versions.
Film Chhaya-1936 was also based on this pattern, where the hero dies. Initially it was thought that such tragic films would not succeed, but film Chhaya became a Hit film. It won accolades from the public and the critics equally. It won many awards too. The cast of the film was Vinayak, Leela Chitnis, Ratnaprabha, Baburao Pendharkar, Indira Wadkar, Pt, Indra, Anant Marathe etc.

Time passes incessantly. And this relentless movement tends to become monotonous, if it were not for celebrations and festivals that punctuate the continuity of this passage. Time of the year again, for specific festivals and celebrations. A new enthusiasm and a new zest – to be doing new things differently.
