I have mentioned it in the past that I did not like “old” songs when I was young. Those days (1970s), anything more than five years old was old for me. Today, I love listening to songs that are fifty, sixty and sometimes even seventy years old. Things have changed. I would like to believe that I have “matured”. Of course, I will not say that I was wrong as a kid.

Yatrik, a vintage film was made in 1952. I had heard so many times, so many good things about this movie from my mother, when I was a little kid. But, was never too much interested in old movies mainly because they had too many songs. Because of the age & my limited “soch” to understand the depth of these songs, I never paid any attention either to watch any movies on Doordarshan or to listen to those songs on radio.

Doctor (1941) is a classic landmark film produced under the banner of New Theatres, Calcutta and directed by Subodh Mitra. The music composition is by Pankaj Babu, and the lyrics are penned by Aarzoo Lucknowi and Asgar Hussain Shor. The lead role of the principled and self effacing doctor is played Pankaj Babu. Other actors in the star line up include Nemo, Jyoti Prakash, Panna, Bharati Devi, Ahindru Chaudhry, Amar, Indu Mukherjee, Buddh Deb, Arbind Sen, Tona Roy, Ardhendu Mukherjee, Sukumar Pal etc. A fairly detailed synopsis of the film is available online, and is also partly covered in other songs from this film already discussed on this blog, especially Mehak Rahi Phulwaari and Kab tak niraashaa ka andhiyaara . This particular song is written by Agsar Hussain Shor.

Comparatively, the treasure of Hindi songs by Pankaj Babu is limited. In the Hindi/Urdu domain, Pankaj Babu has scored music for about 25 films from 1933 to 1954, some of them in collaboration with RC Boral. He has rendered less than 40 songs in all, in Hindi films. Outside of films, and excluding the live programs and recordings, the non-film Hindi songs number about 20. And so comparatively, his contribution appears to be not as significant (in the Hindi domain) as that of his contemporaries. His musical creations are more prolific in the Bengali film and non-film space. By some accounts, Pankaj Babu has composed over five thousand songs. Simply going by the numbers, it is evident that his major contribution has been in Bengali.
