In one of my recent posts, I had mentioned that Hindi movies typically have the same kind of songs, no matter what the genre of the song. What is more, the title of the movie, which indicates (or supposed to indicate) genre of the movie can often be misleading.
In 1940s, there were quite a few medical field related movie titles, viz “Doctor”(1941), “Nurse”(1943), “Lady Doctor”(1944), “Hospital”(1942) etc. If one thinks that these movies told the story of the medical profession in some detail, I am not so sure. Songs of a movie can often tell us about the story line of the movie. When one looks at the mukhda of the songs (and also listen to the songs), we find that these songs are all love songs, broken in heart songs, missing the beloved songs, joie de vivre song in anticipation of the arrival of the beloved, etc. There is not a single song that even remotely pertains to the medical profession.
Take the movie “Hospital”(1942) for example. This movie had eight songs in it. Four songs have been covered in the blog. Here are the details of the songs contained in the movie :-
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Ghata chhaayee ghanghor | Kanan Devi, Jawahar | Song under discussion |
| 02 | Ab to mauj udaao bhaiyya | Robin Majumdar | |
| 03 | Prabhu ji tum raakho laaj hamaari | Kanan Devi | 19 January 2015 |
| 04 | Meri majbooriyon ne meraa daaman chaak kar daalaa | Kanan Devi | 23 February 2011 |
| 05 | Zara nainon se naina milaay jaao re | Kanan Devi | 22 April 2012 |
| 06 | Ae rone waale hansne ke din door nahin hain | Kanan Devi, chorus | |
| 07 | Ab aayee bahaar nayee aayee re | Kanan Devi, Jawahar | 19 May 2015 |
| 08 | O matwaale panchhi | Robin Majumdar |
From the above list of songs, we can clearly observe that the movie songs are all love songs. So one can say that the main characters of the movie, even if they are supposedly working in some hospital, spend all their time in the extracurricular activities of singing romantic songs and they hardly do any hospital work in the movie.
I really wonder what the movie makers of such movie hoped to achieve by making movies with such misleading titles. Going by the songs of this movie, “Pyaar ke naghme” would have been a more appropriate title for this movie.
“Hospital”(1943) was directed by Sushil Majumdar for M P Productions, Calcutta. The movie had Kanan Devi, Ahindra Chaudhary, Robin, Krishna, Pramod, Hiralal, Tulsi, Indu, Sandhya, Purnima, Manorama, Devbala etc. in it.
As mentioned above, “Hospital”(1943) had eight songs in it. Four songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the fifth song from the movie. According to HFGK, this song is sung by Kanan Devi, Jawahar and chorus. Pt Bhushan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Kamal Dasgupta.
Only audio of the song is available. It is clear that Kanan Devi sings for herself. There is no Jawahar in the list of star cast. Assuming that the male voice sings for the hero playing the romantic lead opposite Kanan Devi, it should be Ahindra Chaudhary. It is not clear if Jawahar was some plaback singer or it is the name of the character played by the male actor in the movie.
From the lyrics of the song, it appears that the lead actors, instead of playing medical professionals, are playing love birds (Radha and Kanhaiyya), perhaps in a stage dance performance.:)
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song. I am also interested in knowing the story of the movie.

Lyrics
ghata chhaayi ghangho o o o o or
macha bagiyan mein aen sho o o o o or
mera manwa bhi piu piu boley
mere jeevan ki naiyya bhi doley
mera manwa bhi piu piu boley
mere jeevan ki naiyya bhi doley
mera manwa bhi piu piu boley

ya phir is murli ki lay mein
hans hans kar kho jaao
Raadha
hans hans ka kho jaao
aaj na bolengi re mohan
tumse raadha pyaari
aaj na bolengi re mohan
tumse raadha pyari
jaa ke manaao aur kisi ko
jaa ke manaao aur kisi ko
o natkhat banwaari ee
aaj na bolengi re mohan
tumse raadha pyaari
raadha aa

pyaari raaadha
binti meri maano raadha aa
binti meri maano
mujhse preet chhed(?) mat baithho
mujhse preet chhed mat baithho
itni zid mat thhaano
sunder shyaam saloney saajan
main teri deewaani ee
tujh bin palchhin tadap rahee hoon
tujh bin pal chhin tadap rahee hoon
jyun machhli bin paani
