#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #

#Debutant Movie – ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’#

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’. This movie is making its debut on this blog today.

With over twenty thousand songs already on the blog, and over six thousand of them being from the decade of 1951-1960, I was shocked to note that this movie was still missing from the blog. I was even more surprised when I listened to a few songs from this movie. I must say that this movie has some great melodious compositions in it. It is likely that the songs from this movie were not available online in the past. Personally I had not heard any songs of this movie anywhere to the best of my knowledge. Nevertheless, almost four thousand songs from the decade of 1951-1960 are still missing from the blog. Some of them are available and some more songs may become available with time. As we cover these missing songs, we will come across movies that have not yet made their debuts in the blog.

I checked and double checked and finally came to the conclusion that this movie “Dwarkadheesh” is making its debut today in the blog.

I am presenting the 16th and probably the last song from ‘Sangeet Samrat Tansen’ (1962). It is a qawwali song, ‘tu hai ke naheen hai’ written by Shailendra. The qawwali is rendered by Mohammed Rafi and Manna Dey who sings for Prem Sagar (not to be confused with Ramanand Sagar’s son of the same name) and Bharat Bhushan, respectively.

I present a short song, ‘ab aayee barkha bahaar sajnee’ from the film, ‘Sangeet Samrat Tansen, (1962). The song is rendered by Mohammed Rafi who sings for Bharat Bhushan in the role of Tansen. The song ends with aalaaps and sargam rendered by Manna Dey who sings for M Kumar in the role of Swami Haridas.

The song is not listed in HFGC probably because being a short duration of about 2 minutes, the gramophone record of the song was not released. The song is not included in the LP record of the film. SAREGAMA has also not released the mp3 clip of this song. So, the only source of the song is from the sound track of the film.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film – Shiv Kanya-1954.

The decade of the 1950 was known for 2 things. As we all know, the first thing was that it was the peak of “The Golden Era” of Hindi film music. Secondly, it was also the peak of Mythological and Religious films (124 films in 10 years). So, there was atleast 1 such new film every month continuously for the next 120 months !

When so many Mythological films are made, naturally many stories are repeated in some way or the other. Usually stories from the 18 Puranas, 18 Up-Puranas and 2 Epics- Ramayana and Mahabharat are used for films. Fed up with the usual stories, some filmmakers tried to find unused new stories from the puranas,while some tried to cook up own stories by using the Mythological names and mixing several stories.
