Today’ song is from an early film of Talat Mehmood – Samapti-1949.

Talat has sung some memorable songs. He worked in 3 films in Calcutta and 9 films in Bombay as an actor. Today’s film is his 3rd and last film done in Calcutta. His first film as an actor was Raj laxmi-1945, the second was Tum aur Hum-1947. For this film, he had taken a new name – Tapan Kumar. The reason, presumably, was that there was another actor with a similar name – Talaaq Mehmood, working in this film. To avoid any confusion, he probably took this name. During the period 1947 to 1949, he sang many Bangla NFS in the name of Tapan Kumar.

Today’s song was composed by Music Director Timir Baran Bhattacharya. It was directed by Amar Mullick and the star cast was Bharati Devi, Heeralal, Sunder, Talat mehmood and others. I have neither seen this film nor know of its story. The film had 8 songs. 2 Solos and 2 Duets of Talat and Puprabha Sarkar and 2 solos of Suprabha are mentioned in HFGK. 2 remaining songs do not show a singer’s name. The HFGK also mentioned the title of this film as Sampatti instead of Samapti. This was , however, corrected in subsequent editions.

In one of my recent posts, I had mentioned that Hindi movies typically have the same kind of songs, no matter what the genre of the song. What is more, the title of the movie, which indicates (or supposed to indicate) genre of the movie can often be misleading.

India is a Multi racial, multilingual and Multi religions country. It is not only the largest Democracy in the world, but also the largest Secular state in the world, where people from different faiths have been living together since centuries.

Many saints and religious leaders have played a significant role in keeping the mixed population of India as One Unit, when it was needed the most. A majority of Hindus, ruled by Muslim Mughals was a natural cause for social divisions, but Saints like Kabir, Surdas, Tulsidas, Ramdas, Tukaram, Ramanand, Narsi Mehta, Purandar das,Namdev, Guru Nanak Dev, Eknath, Bhakta Pundarikar, Rohidas, Mrutyunjaya and many such noble souls, did an excellent job of maintaining harmony amongst peoples of different faiths.

Hindi Songs in Bangla Films: 15
—————————————————

Recently, while browsing through the internet, I came across an old article, Gems that never got their due, published in the ‘Times of India’. The article lists 8 critically acclaimed Bangla films which have been forgotten mainly due to their commercial failures. Of the 8 such films, one film to which I got interested because of its unusual title was ‘Antariksha’ (1957) directed by Rajen Tarafdar. Luckily, the film was available for viewing on a video sharing platform with English sub-titles. Probably, after restoration, this film may have been shown in one or more of some international film festivals.
