Today’s song is from the film Romeo and Juliet-1947, which the HFGK mentioned as ” शास्त्रीय संगीत प्रधान ” (Classical music based) film. However, hearing songs from this film, I wondered why this film was labelled so. After hearing today’s song, you may also wonder likewise, I am sure.
This was a film made by Nargis Art Concern. It was directed by Akhtar Hussain, with music by Husnlal- Bhagatram. The cast of the film was Nargis, Sapru, Anwar hussain, Nissar, John Cavas, Hamid Ali Murad, Violet Cooper and others. This film was unique in many ways. Firstly, it was based on the famous English play ” Romeo and Juliet”, written by William Shakespeare and staged for the first time in 1597. Important point is that the story was attributed to Shakespeare in the film’s credits, posters and the booklet. Secondly, this was the only Hindi film made on this famous tragic Love-story. And the most important point is that this film was made by Jaddan Bai. This was the only film in which all her 3 children were involved. All the children had different fathers but one common mother- Jaddan Bai.
Jaddanbai had 3 husbands and 1 child each from every one.
First she married Narottamdas Khatri,the financer of her first film.He converted to Islam and became Bachhi Babu to marry her.She got Akhtar Hussain from him.
Her second husband was Ustad Irshaad Meer Khan,from whom she got Anwar Hussain.
Her third husband was Mohan Babu. This Uttamchand Mohanchand was an orthodox Mohyal Brahmin from Rawalpindi.He was going to London for studying Medicine.He heard Jaddanbai’s singing and fell for her.Against all resistance from his family,he converted to Islam,became Abdul Rashid and married her.They had atlast found true love and till the end,they loved each others.He was known as Mohan Babu.He was handsome,rich and good natured.From him Jaddanbai got a girl child called Fatima Rashid or Baby Rani or NARGIS.
Her elder son Akhtar kept away from the family,became a Director,but later started his own business away from these people.Anwar Hussain and Nargis entered films.
Jaddanbai was very well read,cultured and a social person.
Romeo Juliet and Laila Majnu were famous Love-stories, but they were not from India. India also had its own folk tales of love from different states. India is a unique country in the world. ” Vividhata mein ekta” (विविधता में एकता ). A country which has 28 states and 9 UTs, 22 languages mentioned in its Constitution, 30 languages spoken by 30 lakh people each, 122 languages spoken by more than 10000 people each and 1652 languages spoken in all the country. So many religions are living amicably for thousands of years and still the country is ONE unit, when the Nation needs it. Disproving all the Pundits of the world saying that India will break into pieces after independence, we are stronger and more developed by the day. So, what is the secret ?
The secret is its Culture, which keeps all faiths and languages bound together. In India, Culture is greater than and a bigger influence than individual religions. The flexibility, adaptability and readiness to make changes by the majority section, is the secret. This makes India the biggest Democracy in the world today. The entire world looks up to us as a final Saviour. Culture and Folklore have bound Indians together. In every state there are its own Folk tales, Folk Dances and Folk Music. Still, some common Folklore is all over the country. Though every region has its own Folklores, Lovers’ Folk lore from Punjab and Sind have been traditionally well known throughout India, e.g. Heer-Ranjha or Sohni-Mahiwal etc etc. Our films have a great contribution in keeping the country United and Together,despite calamities and aggressions. Some of the Folk tales of Love from Punjab and Sindh became well known due to films made on them.
There are 9 Tragic Love stories from Punjab and Sindh,in which both the lovers die without getting united. These 9 Love stories are-
Mirza-Sahiban
Heer – Ranjha
Sassi-Punnu
Momal-Rano
Umar-marvi
Sohni-Mahiwal
Lila-Chanesar
Noorie-Tamchi
Dhaj-Rorkumar (Unlike most pairs,in Mirza Sahiban,the Male name comes First !)
Indian film producers have helped spread these Immortal Love stories by making movies on them,as under-
Heer-Ranjha… Films made in 1931,32,48, 1970 and 1992
Mirza-Sahiban… In 1933,35,47 and 1957
Sassi-Punnu… In 1932,33 and 1946
Sohni-Mahiwal…In 1933,46,58 and 1984
Umar-Marvi…in 1942
Noorie-Tamchi…In 1934
There is one folk tale of love from Gujarat, but it is claimed by Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, with their versions. It is the story of Dhola- Maru. A film on them was made in 1956.
Anyway, the film Romeo and Juliet is not available and is considered lost. Only HFGK has some details. From the bits of information, it seems this film was very true to the original story of Shakespeare.
In the cast, we find some odd names like Master Nissar, who was a famous actor since the silent and early Talkie era. John Cavas, an actor from the stable of Wadia Movietone and one who was generally seen only in stunt and action films. Then there was Violet Cooper, yet another old time actress. Her two sisters (out of total 7 sisters) were also actresses. They were Patience Cooper and Pearl Cooper. The film’s Hero was Sapru aka D.K.Sapru aka Daya Kishen Sapru. Let’s know more about him….
This young boy had come all the way from Jalandhar to Prabhat Studios Poona, in 1942, for an interview. . Shantaram , Babu Rao Patel and Sheikh Fatehlal were the partners of Prabhat Studios at that point of time.
Looking at his face and after the usual introduction ,V Shantaram signed the actual blue eyed handsome Daya kishen Sapru aka Sapru, for a role in his next movie RAM SHASTRI-44. Meanwhile, Shantaram and others left Prabhat and the film was directed by Gajanan Jahagirdar. The character of a Peshwa played by him was well noticed and the movie turned out a big hit. He was signed as lead hero by the Company on a monthly salary of Rs 3000/-, one of the highest ever, paid to any hero during those days . It was a hefty sum that enabled him to live a princely life during those days . He did films Chand-44 and Lakharani-45 for Prabhat. It was somewhere around 1945-46.
Films started pouring in later. He acted in Romeo and Juliet ( opposite Nargis). Nargis’s Mother Jaddan Bai was all praise for Sapru. The film was produced by Nargis’s brother Akhtar Hussain . ) ,Jhansi Ki Rani ,Kalapaani , Hum Hindustani , Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Mujhe Jeene Do , Leader and Shaheed. Who does not remember his role as Majhale Sarkar ( Chaudhary ) in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam. Again as Zamindar in Mujhe Jeene Do , he became quite popular. We saw him in some wonderful roles in Naya Daur, Prem Pujari, Jewel Thief, Krodhi , Kudrat ,Dharm Veer, Dream Girl, Zanjeer , Pakeezah and many more such films .It was a period when story writers would create a character for him in the story or script. He was seen either as a Zamindaar or a Police commissioner or a Judge in most of his later films .(Murad was another actor fit for similar roles)
In Total, he must have acted in more than 200 films and out of which he played the lead role in more than 50 films. He also played lead roles in some Gujarati and Punjabi films.
Saprus are Sarswat Brahmins from Kashmir known as Kashmiri Pandits who belong to DIPAT SAMAN AUPAMANYAVA Gotra or the lineage of an Aryan Rishi. This clan of kashmiri Pandits actually belong to village SAPREIN in present day Kulgam district of Kashmir and could be safely called as aboriginal Kashmiris. Some other prominent Saprus are Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru , Jagdish Narayan Sapru ( Prominent Businessman of the country ) Sahaj Ram Sapru Revenue collector during the rule of Afghan Governor Azim Khan ( 1809-1819 ) and Dr Allama Iqbal Urdu poet and Islamic scholar ( He too belonged to a sapru family from kulgam that had converted to Islam )
Daya kishen Sapru belonged to a well off family from Kashmir and his father was employed in Maharaja’s Treasury . That made the family move to Jammu and Lahore during winters. Daya Krishen was born at Jammu on 16-3-1916 and had his early education at Jammu and Lahore .Fluent in Punjabi, he was also proficient in Hindi, Urdu and English .From his childhood days, he would love music and singing. He could easily play on his Harmonium.
Before moving to PUNE , D K as he was known amongst his numerous friends lived at Jalandhar cantt for some time where he took up the job of a contractor. He had four brothers and two sisters and D K happened to be the fourth child in this joint family.
D K Sapru met Marathi actress and IPTA activist Hemvati and they fell in love. They married in 1948. Hemvati was a noted Marathi actress who also worked at PRITHVI Theatres. She acted in SANGRAM with Ashok Kumar and Nalini Jaywant in lead roles. She had also worked with Dev Anand in MOHAN ,Mubarak and Renuka in Ghar Ghar Ki Kahaani and Raj Kapoor in Jail Yatra. (It was rumoured that Raj Kapoor wanted to marry her). A play named Deewar had Hemvati and Raj kapoor in lead roles and the play became quite popular on stage during those days.
After marriage, Hemvati played the role of a caring wife and an affectionate mother in her family. After marriage, she possibly acted only in one movie PATIT PAVAN a home production of Sapru family.
Sapru children are also in films. To quote their elder daughter REEMA is a well known script writer while second daughter PREETI is a successful Punjabi actress while their son Tej is a noted film and TV actor. The brother and sisters are closely attached to each other. They too live by the family values that they inherited from their father.
D K Sapru also acquired good and working knowledge of Homeopathy and was seen reading Homeopathic books quite often during his spare time. He then started practicing this school of medicine and would treat everybody without any charge, often Buying medicines and distributing them free.
Sapru also committed a folly of producing films. One can say that he was misguided by some selfish friends .Though he had learnt some lessons from his first home production Patit pavan, a movie that earned him a few thousands only yet he took up another production project “Bahadur Shah Zafar” and brought in a large star cast that included Sudesh Kumar, Chand Usmani, Shyama, Rehman, Jeevan, Ulhaas ( M N Kaul ) and Nirupa Roy. He pooled in all his resources and raised loans for the project mortgaging his spacious new Bungalow. The movie did not sell on Box office. That landed the family in great trouble. The house had to be sold to repay debts .
Sapru turned diabetic during his later life. In Spite of his failing health he decided to make a last attempt to produce another film JEEVAN CHALNE KA NAAM. By Now Reema was a trained screenplay / script writer. She wrote the script and the family signed Sanjeev Kumar, Rekha, Shashi Kapoor. DK fell ill suddenly and had to be hospitalized for about a year. The project was abandoned. D K was also operated upon for a malignant growth in his shoulder and finally died of a heart attack at a young age of 63 years on 20-10- 1979. His favourite child Reema was already married at that time. And by then he had also turned into a grandfather .
Today’s song is the last and final song of this film, making it a YIPPEED film.

“Daaku”(1955) had six songs in it. Three songs have been covered so far.
Here is the fourth song from “Daaku”(1955) to appear in the blog. HFGK mentions the singer as ust “mahila swar”. Listening to the voice, it is clear that Asha Bhonsle is the singer. Manoharlal Khanna is the lyricist. Music is composed by Snehal Bhatkar.
Prakashchandra, who sent the lyrics of the song and other details is not sure about the identity of the female dancer. He guesses her to be Maya Das.
I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the dancer.

Today’s song is from an ” interesting” film – Pamposh-1953.
I have always been stating that History is never permanent. Whenever new evidence comes, the history changes to that effect. Same is the case with Film History. It keeps on changing, whenever honest workers dig up new evidence with credible proofs. This is normal and Film History lovers have accepted it too. Occasionally – very occasionally or almost rarely, some such evidence comes out which no one had ever dreamt about and when no one had ever doubted the existing accepted matters as facts.
From the early 80’s or to be precise, when Harmandir Singh Hamraz ji published his HFGK for the 50’s decade, as the first in his series of many decades subsequently, we all had known that the Music Director of film Pamposh-1953 was Manoharlal Khanna – father of MD Usha Khanna, the second prolific woman composer for hindi films. (the first prolific woman MD was Saraswati Devi). It was mentioned in the HFGK and Usha Khanna too had repeatedly told so in her articles and interviews.
During the last few years, I have met close relatives of many yesteryear artistes and interviewed them. One thing I noticed was that most relatives, those close ones, did not know or were not sure of certain matters. Sometimes they knowingly told wrong things to enhance the image of that artiste. So I learnt to counter check facts before including them in the interview material.
Usha Khanna’s case also seems to be like this. I carefully listened to her interview about her father, posted on RMIM recently and I found that she made claims which were not wholly correct about her father. One of the claims she always made was that it was she who actually had given music to film pamposh, but her father’s name was credited. Actually neither Usha Khanna (who was barely 12 year old in 1953)nor her father M.L.Khanna had given music to film Pamposh-53. It is noteworthy to note that HFGK has a footnote for this film stating that ” The film booklet mentions MD’s name as Mohan Lal Aima and Cecil Mendoza”. Enthusiastic senior RMIM members worked furiously on this issue and dug up several proofs to arrive at a conclusion that MOHAN LAL AIMA was actually the Music Director of film Pamposh-53.
Film Pamposh was screened at the Cannes Film Festival, France on 9-4-1954 with the French title “FLEUR DE LOTUS” (Lotus of Kashmir or कश्मीरी कमल ). In that also the MD’s name was given as Mohan Lal Aima. This film was made in English, French, Spanish,Italian, German, Hindi, Bengali and Tamil and had won high praise in Cannes, as per the French newspaper “LE MONDE”. This information is from the book ” The world of Ezra Mir” by N.J.Kamath, pub.2005.
I am not only impressed but also amazed to see how the active RMIM members coordinate while working on a research project. Some of the senior members, like Magicians, produce Links, Photographs, Book extracts, Paper cuttings etc. to add to the information. I am not taking any names, because
i) the list will be too long and
ii) they all are equally knowledgeable and hard workers.
Imagine doing their regular jobs and yet contributing enthusiastically on the forum which is simply superhuman ! My Hats Off to RMIM !. Over the years, they have contributed substantially to Hindi film history. I Hope some members produce a book on RMIM. One small book already published is not enough.
Now the important point would be to know who this M L Aima is. Here is his information,collected from various sources made available on RMIM forum.
Mohan Lal Aima was born in a family of ‘Datatreya Kauls’ of Fateh Kadal, Srinagar, on 21-7-1922 . This area was across the Jhelum river and close to Syed Ali Akbar locality. His father , Pandit Ved Lal Aima had earned respect and goodwill in the society even with his modest means and simple living. The family got Aima nickname as some elder from this clan was a gifted osteopath (Waatangor) who cured many people with fractures and dislocations.
After completing his M.A. LLB, and a Diploma in Statistics, he was to join Bar and establish himself as an advocate, but contrary to that, he gave a surprise/shock to his family and the conservative Kashmiri Pandit society ( at that point of time) when he decided to opt for music and singing as his career. During those days, it was something like a rebellious act for his middle-class family. And he earned the nickname “Mohan Chhakri”.
He also led a group of boys that sang this song when Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and Sheikh Mohd Abdullah addressed a huge gathering at Palladium cinema Lal chowk Srinagar in November 1947 . This song was written by Maulana Masoodi, a close associate of Sheikh Mohd Abdullah during those days and it used to be played as an anthem song in official functions during 1948 and 1949.
He scored music for first full-length Kashmiri feature film MAENZRAAT. He scored music for Nadim sahib’s opera ‘Bombur Ta Yemberzal’ that was widely appreciated and shown to Russian dignitaries Nikita Khruschev and Nikolai Bulganin. during their visit to Kashmir. It was performed in early December, 1955 at Nedou’s Hotel , Srinagar by a galaxy of Kashmiri artists and singers. Marshal Bulganin was reportedly seen tapping his foot when the artists sang the Bomburo Bomburo. He also scored music for the Kashmiri version of the movie “Shayar e Kashmir’ Mehjoor”.
His tune for Nadim Sahib’s composition “Bomburo Bumburo Shaam Rang Bomburo” became popular in the entire length and breadth of the country after it was used in a Bollywood movie.
He scored music for Ezra Mir’s 1953 film “Lotus of Kashmir(Pamposh)”.It was produced by Ambalal J. Patel. He also scored music for “ROKO” a short telefilm produced for Door Darshan by M Y Bhat . It was telecast from four metros of the country sometime in1975 or 1976. He further gave music to the film “Kashmira”, produced by Childrens Film Society.
He was also commissioned by Muzaffar Ali as a music consultant cum co-composer for his aborted high profile film Zooni ( Story based on the life of Habba Khatoon ) . The music of the international version was to be done by Oscar winner Japanese composer, Riyuchi Sakamoto, while music for all the songs in Kashmiri was to be scored by Mohan Lal Aima. And the renowned fashion designer, Mary McFadden of New York had been engaged to design the costumes of the film.Muzaffar Ali had to put his project on hold due to widespread militancy in Kashmir. The shooting of this high profile movie with Dimple Kapadia and Vinod Khanna in lead roles had been started during the summer of 1989.
He was the Head of the Music section in Radio Kashmir, Srinagar from 1949 to 1964. Aima was sent as Director General, on deputation to Kabul for Radio Afghanistan. He became extremely popular there. Later he was transferred to New Delhi and Bombay also. During 1979, he lived in Seven Bunglows area of Andheri West in Bombay. He was always eager to help the visiting Kashmiri artistes and arranged for their staying free at Bombay.
Aima could play several traditional Kashmiri Musical instruments. In Bombay, he prepared a CD of kashmiri Devotional geets. It was named ” Man Pamposh”. It became very popular. In 1990, he was bed ridden with Cancer and he died in Bombay.
Many eminent music experts and his friends like Padmashree Pran Kishore Kaul, Bihari Kak – actor, Muzaffar Ali, Padmashri Moti Lal Khemu and others have written about him.
His brother Omkarnath Aima was an actor. He was the hero of the First Kashmiri film “Maenz Raat”. Onkar’s son Alok Aima was also an actor and worked in many Hindi films like “Jaane bhi do yaaron “. M.L Aima’s son Satish Kaul was also an actor. (Based mainly on an article by Shri Autar Mota, on his Blog The Chinar Shade, with thanks and RMIM sources.)
This film was directed by Ezra Mir. Some of the Senior readers, in the bracket of 55 to 75 years of age would recollect the Indian Documentaries made by Ezra Mir, shown before almost every film in the theatres. Indian News Reel and these documentaries on various subjects were actually used as a facility to enter the theatre late and still catch the whole movie from the beginning. These documentaries were made mostly by Ezra Mir and the voice over used to be that of Pratap Sharma usually. ( his younger brother Mahesh Sharma was my good friend in those days).
Ezra Mir was one of the rare persons who worked in the famous Hollywood studios for a considerable time, before he came to India and got involved in making films here. He was also a rare person who, despite being in great demand in the commercial cinema, chose to join a Government organisation and did monumental significant work for the future generations. For a long time, I was thinking him to be a Muslim man, but at a much later date, I came to know that he was a Jew person.
Ezra Mir ( real name Edwyn Meyers) was born on 26-10-1902 at Calcutta. After completing his education, he joined Madon Theatres in 1921. In 1923, he left for Europe and America to work in the film industry. After doing bit roles in Rudolph Valentino’s films in Long Island, New York and working for First National Biograph Studios, he joined the Universal studios as a ” Film Cutter” and later as a Scenario writer. By his diligent and hard work he became the chief of story Department in United Artistes. In 1929, he wrote and directed a film ‘ Simbolisque ‘, which created a sensation in the film circle there.
With the advent of the Talkie, he came back to India , joined Imperial Film co. and made film Noorjehan-31 in Hindi and English. In 32-33, he joined Sagar movietone and directed Zarina-32, Pagal premee-33 and Farzand e Hind-34. Then Ezra went to Calcutta. After doing some films he came back and made documentaries on second world war. In 1940, he was appointed by the Govt. on the Film Advisory Board. In 1942, when V.Shantaram left as its head, he became the head. From 1942 to 1946, he made 170 documentaries.
In 1951 he joined the Films Division and in 1956, became its President. In his tenure here, he made 400 documentaries. In 1970 he got ‘ Padma Shri ‘. Ezra Mir died on 7-3-1993. His Filmography is Noorjehan-31, Zarine-32, Pagal premi-33, Farzand e Hind-34, Mera Pyara and Rasheeda-35,Jeevan Sangram, Parivartan,Rajdulari and Shaitan ka pash-36, Rikshawala-38,Sitara-39, Beete din-47, pamposh-54 and Raju aur gangaram-64.
The cast of the film was Moghali (Leela Kanade), B.Bilimorea, Violet Smith,Savitri,Vinod, Savi Multani, Rusi Patel and others. The story, screenplay and direction was of Ezra Mir. The film was produced by Ambalal Patel, who was with Sagar Movietone when it was launched in 1932. The lyricist was Manohar lal Khanna.There were 5 songs sung by Seeta Kalyanpur and Moti Sagar -3 solos and 2 duets.
Lastly, about the singer of today’s song-Seeta Kalyanpur. I have not got any information about her anywhere, but I faintly remember having read somewhere that She was the sister of Suman Kalyanpur’s husband. However I can’t confirm it. With this song Film Pamposh and Singer Seeta Kalyanpur make their Debut on our Blog.

“Maaya Machhindra”(1951) aka Gorakhnath was directed by Aspi Irani for Super Pictures, Bombay. This mythological movie had Surendra, Nirupa Roy, Trilok Kapoor, Usha Kiran, Shanta Kunwar, Nand Kishore, Parshuram, Chaandni, Rajni, Bheem, Amirbai, Gulzar, Mona, Master Vinod etc in it.
The movie had eight songs in it. Two of these songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the third song from “Maaya Machhindra”(1951) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Geeta Dutt and Surendra. Manoharlal Khanna is the lyricist. Music is composed by Premnath (MD) who was different from the actor of the same name,
Only the audio of the song is available. My guess is that this song was picturised on Nirupa Roy and Surendra. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

tan mein kaante man mein kaante
neend kabhi aankhon mein aake
neend kabhi aankhon mein aake
tadpoon jaise jal bin meena
jal bin meena
toot gayi haaye
pankhheen ik panchi hoon main
udna chaahoon ud na sakoon main
pankhheen ik panchi hoon main
udna chaahoon ud na sakoon main
maut hai ye jeewan bhar jeena
aise jeena
toot gayi haaye
naina kahen ab kaun hamaara
man poochhe ab kisko sahaara
beete dinon ki haaye raina
beete dinon ki haaye raina
sapnon ki godi mein jeena
toot gayi haaye
toot gayi haaye jeewan veena
jeewan saathi bin kya jeena
bin kya jeena
toot gayi haaye
Dhhal gayaa aashaa ka sooraj

Lyrics
Dhal gaya
aa aa
aa aa
aa aa
aasha ka sooraj
dhal gaya
dhal gaya aa aasha ka sooraj
jeewan jyoti bujh gayi ee

bujh gayi ee
aankhon mein aansoo reh gaye
ik jalti nishaani pyaar ki
pyaar ki
dhal gaya aa aasha ka sooraj
dhal gaya
jeewan mein aaya thha basant
ik pal ko
ik kshan ke liye
patjhad phir aisa aa gaya
ik ghor udaasi chhaa gayee
chhaa gayee
dhal gaya aa aasha ka sooraj
dhal gaya
kitne sunahre sapne thhe
kitni suhaani neend thhi
aaye nahin phir laut ke
wo din mere ae
raaten meri
raaten meri
dhal gaya aa aasha ka sooraj
dhal gaya
soojhe na koi raasta
jaaun kidhar
jaaun kahaan
soojhe na koi raasta
jaaun kidhar
jaaun kahaan
chaaron disha mein aag lagi hai
chaaron dishaaon mein aag hai
meri chita aa jalti huyi
jalti huyi
dhal gaya aa aasha ka sooraj
jeewan jyoti bujh gayee
bujh gayee
bujh gayee
dhal gaya aa aasha ka sooraj
dhal gaya
