Today’s song is from the comedy film Hangama-1952.

1952 was an year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of Film production, escalating rates of stars and music Directors, establishment of Star System in place of earlier Studio System, increasing taxes, decreasing number of Cinema Halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with Black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

Today’s song is from an obscure, forgotten film ‘ Golkunda ka Qaidi-1954.

When this film was released in Hyderabad, I was still in High school. In those days, in Hyderabad state, in addition to the routine subjects in the school, for the 10th standard, there used to be a novel subject called ” Non-Detail “. There used to be a world famous novel, drama,travelogue or a Biography taught in this subject. The purpose was to acquaint the students with the top class literature of the world and cultivate the habit of reading extra-curricular famous books. I don’t think that this was practiced in any other state of India. This truly helped the students to inculcate interest in reading books other than their curriculum.

Today’s song is from an unreleased film ‘Hamaari Kahaanee-1973’. This movie was directed by B.V. Algikar for ‘Navprakash Chitra, Bombay’. It had Master Shripad, Baby Ragini, Master Vinayak, Master Kiran, Sulochana, Abhi Bhattacharya, Dhoomal and others. Geet Kosh Vol-V (1971-1980) lists three songs for this movie, leaving space for possibility of more songs in this movie. Two songs are written by Asad Bhopali, and one song is written by Jaan Nisar Akhtar. Music for this movie is composed by C. Arjun. (More than a year back I had come across another song from this movie which I had noted for some other occasion.) The singers for this movie are Usha Mangeshar, Manna Dey and Mohd Rafi. Today I present a song sung by Mohd Rafi which is written by Jaan Nisar Akhtar.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
—————————————————————

Today on 24th December 2024 we are celebrating the birth centenary of the legendary singer Mohd Rafi. He was born on 24th December 1924. On this occasion we are presenting songs sung by Mohd Rafi. Initially I was looking for Rafi songs remaining to be posted from the decade of forties i.e. 1941-1950 and I decided that later on I will move simultaneously 50s to 80s. I even had couple of movie-titles noted for this purpose. However it so happened that the songs I presented so far are the songs from movies where Rafi Saab had sung only one song or a movie like ‘Alakh Niranjan’ which have more than one Rafi song, but none of these was posted still on the blog. As the day progressed we saw Rafi songs from the decade of ‘sixties’ and ‘seventies’ have already come up. So I am not sure if I am going to take songs from the 60s, 70s or 80s now.
