# Debutant Movie –Mandir Masjid-1977#

Today’s song is a wonderful sufi qawwaalee from the 1977 movie ‘Mandir Masjid’.

I was longing to share this song on the blog. I have listened to this song many times and liked this composition very much. The singers of this Qawwaalee song are Mohd Rafi, Manna Dey, Shankar-Shambhu, and Ram Kumar. I was under the impression that this song also has the voice of Jani Babu Qawwaal but Geet Kosh and other sources do not mention his name. As per information contained in Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) the famous Qawwaalee duo Shankar-Shambhu had confirmed that this song was composed by them, though the music composer for this movie was Sharda. They had also informed that this song has the voice of Ram Kumar as well(I am not aware about him).

“Mohabbat Ki Jeet”(1960) was produced and directed by B S Ranga for Vikram Productions, Madras. This movie had Raja Sulochana, Ranjan, Sowcar Janki, Sriram, Rajagopal etc in it. It appears from the cast that this movie may have been a remake of some South Indian movie though HFGK is silent about this fact.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-20)

Today’s Kavi Pradeep song is form the movie “Veeraanganaa-1947”. It was directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal for Laxmi Productions, Bombay. This was a movie from the genre of “historical” movies. The cast of this movie included Shobhana Samarth, Prem Adib, Jeewan, Prabha, Badri Prasad, Sankata Prasad, Shanta Patel, Kanta and others. This movie has eight songs as per Geet Kosh-Vol-II (1941-1950). Kavi Pradeep wrote the lyrics for the songs in this movie under the name of Miss Kamal. The singers’ names for all the individual songs are not mentioned against the songs of this movie. Hari Prasanna Das and Manna Dey were the two music directors for this movie. In Geet Kosh four songs are attributed to composer Hari Prasanna Das, so we can guess that the other songs are composed by Manna Dey.

In this post I am presenting a song from an obscure movie from the year of 1975. Obscure because I could neither find any videos from this movie on internet nor any information about it. The title of this movie is ‘Samasya’. It was passed by the censor board on 29.11.1975. Geet Kosh V (1971-1980) mentions this movie as belonging to the genre of ‘social movies’. It was directed by Dayabhai Bhakt for ‘Akik Chitra, Bombay’. The cast of this movie had Madhuchhanda, Pawan Dutt, Chitra Sundaram, Atam Prakash, Sunil Dhawan, D.S. Mehta, Rakesh Jaimani, Vikas Bali, Pratibha Matkari, Anjali Devi and others. Sajjan, Jagirdar, Pallavi Mehta and Damodar Shah had made special appearances in this movie.

Today’s song is from a less known Mythological film Gaj Gauri-1958.

The film was made by Prabhat Chitra, Bombay. This is not the famous Prabhat Film Company of Poona (Sama Name Confusion even in Film Company names ?), which was auctioned in 1952 and then formally closed on 13-10-1953. Their last film was Aparadhi-1949.
