Today’s song is from the film Taqdeer-1943.

This was Mehboob Khan’s second film from his own studio-Mehboob productions. His first film was Najma-1943 (his own daughter’s name was Najma). That film was woven around a woman’s life. Similarly, his second film also was about a young girl. The girl was Nargis- making her Debut as an adult heroine (14 years) opposite the hero Motilal (age 33 years). The story was about lost children in Kumbh Mela and then found by unrelated people who bring them up, having lost their own. Sounds like a precursor to a Man Mohan Desai’s film ? Maybe it gave him an idea !

Today’s song is from the first film of Nargis as a Hindi film heroine – Taqdeer-1943.

The film was made by Mehboob Khan for his banner, Mehboob productions, Bombay.

In the history of Hindi Cinema, Mehboob Khan’s name would be written prominently as one of the great directors, who rose from scratch to a height attained by few other directors. Mehboob Khan directed 8 films for Sagar, 3 films for National and 11 films for Mehboob productions.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Taqdeer’ (1943).

This was the film in which 2 great artistes came together along with 2 other great actors. Mehboob Khan who produced and directed this film, introduced Nargis, first time as an adult heroine. The hero was Motilal and his father’s role was done by actor Chandra Mohan. In real life also, Chandramohan always treated Motilal as his son. Incidentally, the name of Motilal, in his childhood period in this film was PAPPU ! If the film was made today, Motilal would have elected to leave the film instead of having his name as PAPPU !!

Today’s song is from the film Taqdeer-1943.

I have been seeing films and listening to film songs from quite an early age. That is such an age that your experience is less and opinions are firm. From the beginning, I liked songs by Shamshad Begum and Kishore kumar. As far as Shamshad was concerned her peak period of songs was 1947 to 1955. Maybe I heard her best songs and that too composed by the top class composers like C.Ramchandra and Naushad. Kishore kumar, of course, was shining from 1952 to 1960. I believe firmly that his best songs were in this period. Many people may not agree to this, but then age makes a lot of difference in likes and dislikes.

Today’s song is from the First film of Nargis as a Heroine – Taqdeer-1943.

1943 was an year in which the II world war was in full swing. Both sides were almost equal. The effects of the war on India were… it faced the infamous Bengal Famine, caused by the war profiteering. Controls on film production were tightened by the Government. I.P.T.A. became operative with its first staged p0lay ‘ Nibanna’. Film Kismet became one of the biggests Hits ever. V.Shantaram’s Rajkamal Kalamandir debuted with Shakuntala, as did Mehboob with his film Najma. Government made showing of Newsreel before any film mandatory. Film Raj Nartaki’s english version The Court Dancer was exhibited in the USA, first time for an Indian film.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Nargis-1993’. This movie seems to be an obscure or un-released movie of its time. I was not aware of this movie or its songs. But I got to listen to today’s song on ‘Vividh Bharati’ around two years back and since then I was longing to share it on the blog. When I listened to this song first I was not aware of the name of the movie it was from. It was only later when I looked for the details of its movie and other songs that I became aware of the name of the movie.

Remembering Nargis today on the 91st anniversary of her birth.

Born in the year 1929, she made her debut in films as a child artist as early as 1935. And then starting with 1942, she moved on from child roles to adult roles. As I was searching for a song from her early years in films, I chanced to see this song, which is really very playful and chirpy. And listening to the song made me wonder why has this song so far been away from this blog.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 68
———————————————————————————–

The date ten years ago, viz 1 september 2010 saw as many as seven songs getting discussed in the blog. First post of the aday appeared at 5:45 AM and the seventh post at 9:01 AM ! Ten years from that day, I am surprised myself how I was able to cover seven songs in a matter of little over three hours !

Here are the details of these songs :-

Song Movie title-Year Remarks
Koi nahin mera iss duniyaa mein Daag-1952 All songs covered
Dil matwaalaa laakh sambhaalaa Bewafaa-1952 05 songs posted
Chupke chupke rukte rukte Paying Guest-1957 All songs covered
Dil todna kisi ka ye zindagi nahin hai Pooja Ke Phool-1964 All songs covered
Ye dil hai muhabbat ka pyaasaa Dil Ne Phir Yaad Kiyaa-1966 All songs covered
Daanton taley dabaa kar honth Doli-1969 All songs covered
Tadap ye din raat ki Amrapaali-1966 All songs covered

As many as six out of the seven movies that figured ten years ago, have already been YIPPEED by now. “Bewafa”(1952) is the only movie that still has a few songs left to be covered and that makes this movie the only movie eligible for “Blog Ten Year Challenge” for today (1 september 2020).
