THE VIBRANT 40s (Episode No. 13)
————————————-
Today Mumbai (erstwhile BOMBAY) boasts of being the only place where Hindi films are made, but in the initial stages of Film-making, it was not so. There were other centres too, which made Hindi films like Calcutta, Poona, Kolhapur, Madras, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Lahore and some odd towns as well. Out of all these,the most famous and the biggest-qualitatively- had always been CALCUTTA.

Calcutta competed very well with Bombay in Film production,if not in quantity, at least in quality and this was true from the silent film era up to the 40s.

LAGAN (1941) was produced under the banner of New Theatres and was directed by Nitin Bose. The star cast included K L Saigal, Kanan Devi, Nawab Kashmiri, Nemo, Jagdish Sethi, Girdhari Lal Vaid, Naresh Bose, Rohmat Bibi etc. There were 11 songs in the film, all penned by Arzoo Lucknowi which were set to music by R C Boral. The film was 5th largest grosser on the box office for 1941 and got the Bengal Film Journalists Association’s award for the best film of 1941. Incidentally, after this film, both K L Saigal and Kanan Devi left New Theatres, the former to Bombay (Mumbai) and the latter joined M P Productions of P C Barua. K L Saigal, however, returned to New Theatre for doing ‘My Sister’ (1944) which was his last film for New Theatres.

STREET SINGER (1938) is regarded as one of the three tops films of K L Saigal produced under the banner of New Theaters. If ‘Devdas’ (1935) confirmed the arrival of K L Saigal as an actor-singer, ‘Street Singer’ (1938) and ‘Zindagi’ (1940) made him the first star actor-singer of the Hindi film industry. People used to watch his films more for his songs than for the film itself. The flip side of Saigal’s popularity as a singer was that his songs virtually eclipsed the songs sung by other singers in his films.

I am presenting a song ‘tumne mujhse prem jataa kar’ from the film WAAPAS (1943). At first, the voice of the singer in the song appears to be that of Jagmohan Sursagar. In fact, one of the uploaders of the audio clip has mentioned Jagmohan Sursagar’s name as the singer of this song. Actually, the song is sung by the singer-actor Asit Baran. I am not surprised with this slip up on the part of the uploader. I for once also felt that the voice was that of Jagmohan Sursagar. The music composition of the song also gives an impression that it is a non-filmy song. The song is written in a ghazal format by Munshi Zakir Hussain which is set to music by R C Boral.
