During 1930s and 1940s, when India was a desperately poor country, literacy level was very low. Even males were largely unlettered. The less said about the literacy of women, the better. So under those circumstances, an educated woman, who was also a workng woman, was a source of great curiousity among common folk. One can imagine how it must be like in 1940s. Basic literacy is one thing. To become educated in the medical field was obviously way tougher.
In 1940s, we had quite a few titles about medical profession. Not just male professionals, but even females.
“Doctor”(1941) was a well known movie of those days Pankaj Mullick played the title role there. How can women be behind. Soon we found titles like “Nurse”(1943) and “Lady Doctor” (1944). “Lady Doctor”(1944, as the name suggests, was supposedly about a Lady who pursues medical profession.
When we look at the songs of these movies, we cannot find any songs dealing with the profession. The lead actor playing the title role would hardly be shown practicing as a medical professional. Most of the time he would be romancing and singing relevant songs dealing with various feelings associated with the process. We would have songs dealing with separation, sadness, looking forward to the arrival of beloved, sense of betrayal etc.
In other words, No matter what the genre, be it religious, stunt, social, fantasy, war, mystery, the movie would get reduced to a love story. 🙂
“Lady Doctor”(1944) was directed by Wali Sahab for Venus Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Mumtaz Shanti, Maya Banerji, Nandrekar, David, Premi, Rafiq, Master Anil, Ulhas, Mubarak, Kesari, Jamshed Ji, Sajjan, Anwari Bai, Sulochana Chatterji etc in it.
There were ten songs in this movie according to HFGK, but the name of the singers are not available for any of these songs. For that matter, even the name of the music director is not known.
Matters changed after the first song from this movie was covered in the blog in 2016.
Initially I had discussed a song that had the same first line as the song contained in HFGK entry for this movie viz:- Aankh milne ka bahaana ho gaya. It turned out that the uploader had mistaken a song with the same first line to be a song from “Lady Doctor”(1944). In reality, that song, sung by Naseem Akhtar was from some other movie. The actual song from “Lady Doctor”(1944), with same mukhda was then incorporated in the writeup. Lots of research was carried out by stalwards like our own inhouse researchers like M/s Arunkumar Deshmukh, Sadanand Kamath and Harish Raghuwanshi. Their research threw up informations that were not there in HFGK. It turned out that “Lady Doctor”(1943) actually had music by Anil Biswas, even though this movie was missing from Anil Biswas filmography prepared by many music lovers. Also, the voices contained in the actual song that was discussed were that of Hamida Bano and Snehal Bhatkar.
Likewise, names of singers for other songs that had become available were also identified. The amount of research that got triggered after that one post was quite staggering, to put it mildly. I thank all our musical stalwarts for their yeoman service rendered in the cause of HFM.
Here is the second song from “Lady Doctor”(1944). This song, like the first song, is more like a love song than a song about the medical profession. 🙂 The song is sung by Parul Ghosh. Wali Sahab is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Song-Kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya (Lady Doctor)(1944) Singer-Parul Ghosh, Lyrics-Wali Sahab, MD-Anil Biswas
Lyrics
kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya
kuch aag laga ke chhod diya
ye kis zaaalim ki mahobbat ne
ye kis zaalim ki mahobbat ne
toofaan mein laa ke chhod diya
kuchh apna bana ke
pahle to nazar ke saaghar mein
halki si gulaabi mai bhar di
pahle to nazar ke saaghar mein
halki si gulaabi mai bhar di
aur honthon se ungli ko rakh kar
aur honthon se ungali ko rakh kar
peene ke liye phir na karti
bedard ne kis bedardi se
bedard ne kis bedardi se
saaghar ko dikha kre chhod diya
kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya
kuchh aag laga ke
deepak ne sikhaaya thha mujhko
main haule haule jalti thi
deepak ne sikhaaya thha mujhko
main haule haule jalti thi
ik aag daba kar seene mein
ik aag daba kar seene mein
main karwat tak na badalti thhi
par ik aansu ne aankh se gir kar
ik aansn ne aankh se gir kar
dil ka chhaala phod diya
kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya
kuchh aag laga ke
Aankh milne ka bahaana ho gaya
