Congratulations to all the fellow wagoneers of this musical bandwagon. The journey completed 18 years yesterday, and today we step into the 19th year of this melodious and joyful voyage across the ocean of the Hindi film song. In these past 18 years, already we have notched up on the score card twenty thousand four hundred and sixty three memories – all wonderful and timeless creations of the masters and artists over the past nine plus decades. And looking forward – another day, another song, another melody – on the trek towards the horizon, where this ocean meets the sky. [Editor]

Mohd Rafi – A Journey Divine – 1
(1944-46)
किसी ने कभी पानी से पूछा — पानी रे पानी तेरा रंग कैसा
तो जवाब जो पानी ने दिया — जिसमें मिला दो लगे उस जैसा
Someone once asked water, “Water, water, what color is yours?” The answer water gave was, “My color will resemble whatever I am mixed with.” This isn’t a quality, a skill, an art, or anything significant. It’s the very nature of water, a gift from God, bestowed upon water. When God created water in the universe, He granted it an inexhaustible treasure: despite being colorless, it possesses the unique ability to manifest every other color. Perhaps with a similar thought in mind, God brought to this earth an individual whose voice was so gifted with the ability to become the voice of any and every personality, every character. He shaped that individual’s personality with such natural simplicity that it could provide a voice for everyone behind the scenes, yet its own existence remained completely inconspicuous. This individual’s voice might be in the background, but listeners might not even be aware of its presence. Over time, this voice would linger behind hundreds of characters. Only those who knew would know what it was.

Today, January 5, 2025, is the 44th Remembrance Day of Ramchandra Narhar Chitalkar, popularly known as C Ramchandra as a music director and Chitalkar as a playback singer. He regaled the connoisseurs of Hindi film music with his melodious musical compositions in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the pioneer of introducing popular foot-tapping songs with western musical influence and western musical instruments like saxophone and guitar in his compositions as early as in the 1940s. At the same time, he was composing classical raag-based as well as folk-based songs. He was trained in Hindustani classical music for six years first under Vinayakbua Patwardhan and later Shankarrao Sapre.
Despite producing many melodious songs especially in the 1950s, it is unfortunate that C Ramchandra did not get any award – whether National Film Award or Filmfare Award as a music director. The first Filmfare Awards were announced in April 1954 for films released in 1953. But his film, ‘Anarkali (1953) was not in the reckoning for the best music director’s award. His film, ‘Aazaad’ (1955) and ‘Paighaam’ (1959) were nominated for the Filmfare Award in best music director category but did not win. But the fact remains that many of his melodious and rhythmic songs of 1950s are still popular among the current generation which itself is a great award to a creative genius.

Spy thriller as a genre of films has rarely been attempted during the first three decades of Hindi talkie films. The huge success of Eon Productions’ spy thriller films of James Bond series like ‘Dr. No.’ (1962), ‘From Russia With Love’ (1963), ‘Goldfinger’ (1964) etc when they were released in India prompted the Hindi film producers to make the films in this genre in the 1960s. The Indo-China war of 1962 and Indi-Pak war of 1965 created favourable situations for spy thriller films. Some of the Hindi films which were made especially during the second half of 1960s were ‘Farz’ (1967), ‘Spy in Goa’ (1967), ‘Spy in Rome’ (1968), ‘Golden Eyes Secret Agent 077’ (1968),’CID Agent 302’ (1968), ‘Aankhen’ (1968), ’Ham Saaya’ (1968), ‘Shatranj’ (1969) etc.

In my last article, I discussed the film, ‘Naache Naagin Baaje Been’ (1969) which was written and produced by Devi Sharma (19/10/2021 – 30/03/2010). I got acquainted with his name when I had watched his films, ‘Ganga Ki Laharen’ (1964) and ‘Gunaahon Kaa Devta’ (1967)” in my younger days. Meerut born Devi Sharma was a writer and got attracted to the glamour world of Hindi films. He shifted to Mumbai and debuted as a co-producer with Wasti for ‘Basre Ki Hoor (1956). His first independent film as a producer and writer under his banner, Janta Chitra was ‘Taxi Stand’ (1958). The next as a producer-writer was ‘Kaali Topi Laal Roomaal’ (1959).
