Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 10
———————————————————
The history books of Maratha empire (1674-1818) tell us that the empire reached its zenith between 1720 and 1760 when about two-third of the Indian sub-continent was under their control. During this period, Madhavrao Peshwa, also called ‘Thorle’ (Senior) Madhavrao Pehswa or Madhavrao-I is credited with recovering the lost ground of the Maratha empire and for his administrative skills. During his reign, Madhavrao Peshwa appointed Ramshastri Prabhune (mostly known as Ramshastri) as ‘Mukhya Nyaayadheesh’ (Chief Justice) of the Peshwa court who was known for his honesty, impartiality and integrity. The highlight of his tenure was that he passed a judgement of capital punishment on Raghunathrao, the Peshwa-in-waiting, his involvement in the assassination of young Narayanrao Peshwa who was under his protection.

The association of Pankaj Babu and RC Boral starts from their coming together as artists and producers at Calcutta Radio. No specific dates are available, but the expected period is the second half of the 1920s. This period also coincides with the prime of the silent films in India. Calcutta had become a main production center. Being recognized as music directors at Radio Calcutta, it was natural for RC Boral and Pankaj Mullick to be called upon for creating the orchestral music for silent films. In the days of soundless films, the music and sound effects were presented live in the theatre, using a live orchestra. What we recognize as background music today, was very much a ‘foreground’ entity in those years. The mood and the action on screen, was duly accompanied by live music that was played by the orchestra sitting just below and front of the screen. Probably no recordings of such musical works were made, else that in itself would have been a very valuable treasure for lovers of film music. wo films from 1931 are identified as the ones for which this pair had prepared the orchestral ‘foreground’ music. Produced by International Filmcraft, the title of the films are ‘Chesher Maye’ (‘चेशेर मेय’) and ‘Chorkanta’.

For the first time in the long history of India, all people were guaranteed equal rights and opportunities under the Indian constitution, something which was unimaginable till then.

My familiarity with the film CHAAND (1944) was limited to its iconic song ‘do dilon ko ye duniyaa milne hi nahin deti’ until a few years ago. I had watched the video clip of this song many times in the past. With its beautiful lyrics, I felt that I should watch this full movie before I attempt to write an article on the song. Fortunately, the video of this film is available on the internet.

“Rattan” (1944) was a movie that was musically a major milestone for Hindi movie music. The music of this movie served as a major trendsetter. The music of this movie was based on folk music, as against classical music. This ensured that movie goers, who were exposed to such music in their day to day life, were able to identify with this kind of music better. And just how well did the public identify with the music ! The music of this movie became super duper hit. Naushad became a rage, and other music directors too jumped on the bandwagon of folk music based songs.
