Kamsune/Unsune songs of Asha Bhosle – 78

The camaraderie and apnapan amongst the Atulites (as we contributors of song posts like to call ourselves) really makes me feel at home. It can be a simple thing as a Good Morning or Good Evening messages or even Birthday Wishes on the WhatsApp group or someone posting articles on old movies, songs or even the performers, or even a healthy discussion on any topic except religion and politics, one really feels comfortable and wanted. The group members also suggest songs for posting on the blog. Like this time I have received (upon my request) three rare/rarely heard songs of Asha Bhosle for my current series from a very knowledgeable and experienced friend, Raja Swaminathan Ji. I will be posting his suggestions one at a time.

I would like to Thank Raja Ji for suggesting these songs. So Raja Ji, this one is for you!!!

The first song which I am presenting is a rare/rarely heard song of Asha Bhosle “Babu Babu Dil Pe Nahi Kabu” from “Do Aankhein” (1974), written by Verma Malik and composed by Hansraj Behl.

“Maano Na Maano”(1955) alternatively titled “Believe it or not” and “Andhkaar” was produced by Pranlal K Doshi and directed by B K Adarsh for Movie Entertainers, Bombay. HFGK, in its footnote describes this movoie as Indian’s first psychological drama. The movie failed at the box office so spectacularly that information about its star cast too is not known. The music director Hansraj Bahl provided HFGK the names of some actors as Satish, Chitra, Baldev Mehta and Naaz. That is all the information that is available about this movie.

Today’s song is from a fantasy film Gul E Bakawali-1963.

Most Indians have two common traits. One, they are religious and two, they believe in magic. Therefore most of the children liked the stories in which there was fantasy and magic. Ofcourse, I am talking of older times. These days children’s likings have changed and they like to play with modern gadgets, rather than reading books.

When I was in school, there was great demand from students for books on Vedic stories, fantasy and fairy stories, especially the Arabian Night story books in our school library. Students had to put their names on a waiting list for such books, though the library had multiple copies of such books. Once the books were taken home, other members of the family also read them with great taste and nostalgia.

Today’s song is from the ” Kam sune – Unsune ” film Pensioner-1954.

When you say that ‘Colgate is No. 1 Toothpaste’, it does not mean that everyone in India uses Colgate. It only means that the majority of people use Colgate and hence it is called No. 1 toothpaste. The decade of the 1950s was known as’ The Golden Era of Film Music’. It did not mean that there were no films with mediocre or poor music. It only means maximum films had wonderful music. In this decade there were few – only few – films whose music was not famous, for whatever reasons. Today’s film was one such film.

In the war period from 1939 to 1945, the British Government in India had coaxed the filmmakers to make films which would help the war efforts. These were called ‘ Propaganda Films’ and the Government gave special subsidies and other concessions ( like extra quota of Raw Film at control rates) to the producer. During the 1950s the Indian Government wanted to boost the ‘Small Savings’ habit among the citizens. Some films were made upholding this scheme. Today’s film Pensioner-1954 was one such film.

Today’s song is from the film Gul E Bakavali-1963. It is an imaginary story with an Arabic background. The song I am presenting today is an Islamic Hamd – a religious song in praise of Allah. It is a form of expression to acknowledge and honour Him. There is a difference between Hamd – which is directed towards The God and a Naat – which focusses on The Prophet.

Today’s song is from a Costume C grade film -‘Shah Behram’-1955.

The film was made by Producer Mulkraj Bhakari, under the banner of Baharistan Productions, Bombay. The film was directed by a veteran of such genres – Nanubhai Vakil. He was not just a ” Vakil” (An Advocate) by name, but including him, most of the elders of his family were B.A.LL.B. advocates. It is another matter that he was inclined to make a name for himself in the film industry rather than practising Law in courts.
