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’s song is from the film Veer Ghatotkach (aka Surekha Haran)-1949. The meaning of Ghatotkach is a person with a bald head.
The film was made by Homi Wadia’s Basant Pictures and it was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt, a veteran in directing such films. Music was by S.N.Tripathi, who, as usual, also acted in this film.
S N Tripathi was an actor, director, composer and a singer too. He acted in 83 films, sang 13 songs in 7 films, directed 18 films and gave music to 111 films, composing 863 songs. In the early cinema, we had many such multi-faceted artists.
The cast of the film was Vasantrao pehelwan (as Ghatotkach), Shahu Modak, Niranjan Sharma, Meena Kumari (as Surekha), Sumati Gupte, H.Prakash, S.N.Tripathi, Shyam sunder Sulochana and many others.

Today’s song is from a not so well known but deserving film – Saudamini (1950).
In Hindi (and in almost all indian languages) films, well known and popular dramas, Novels, Stories and the famous writers have played a significant role in providing material to make logical and meaningful films with a message to the people or a particular society. I can say that films based infamous and popular writings have been made into more qualitative presentations than films on Folk stories and Historical Myths.

Today’s song is from a C grade Stunt film – Fighting Hero-1946.
1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.
