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 historic film Prithvi Vallabh-1943.
This is a real Historic story on which there was also a Silent movie “Prithvi Vallabh aka The Lord of Love and Power”, made by Ashoka Pictures, Baroda (Gujarat) in 1925. Its story was the same as today’s film. The film was important because India’s first woman Director and Producer Fatima Begum had acted in it, along with 2 of her 3 daughters-Zubeida and Sultana. Zubeida went on to become the Heroine of India’s first Talkie film Aalam Ara-1931. After 18 years of the silent movie, Sohrab Modi’s Minerva Movietone made this film again in 1943.

Today’s song is a female-female duet from the film Swami-1941.
1941 was the beginning of a new decade. After the Talkie film’s entry, this was the second decade. There were many changes taking place continuously in the film making and so it was interesting to know how the year 1941 fared. The 30s and the 40s mostly differed in film music and story contents. The new blood composers like Anil Biswas, C Ramchandra, Naushad, Ghulam Haider, K Datta, Hansraj Behl, Bulo C Rani, Gyan Dutt and many more replaced the Parsi, Marathi and Gujarati drama music to more acceptable lilting songs. Many musical films were made and some everlasting songs were composed by these people.

Today’s song is from the film Dillagi-1942.
The title of the film seemed to attract the filmmakers and starting with Dillagi-1942, few more similarly titled films were made like, Dillagi-49, Dillagi-66, Dillagi-78 and Dillagi-99. Of these films, Dillagi-49 became quite successful and a film to remember because of the famous song ” Tu mera chand main teri chandni” sung by Suraiya and Shyam Kumar.

The film had its mahurat shot taken in January 1940 under the direction of Mubarak. In February 1940, R S Junnarkar was assigned the direction of the film along with Mubarak.

Today’s song is from an obscure ‘never heard of’ type film of the early times of the Talkie era – Kaun Kisi ka-1939. The film was made by Hindustan Cinetone. It was directed by Chimanlal Luhar, a talented person. He was a rarity in those days as he was a Science graduate. In times when there were very few educated people in the film industry, he was respected everywhere.

Agha Jaani Kashmiri (16/10/1908 – 27/03/1998) was perhaps the first story/screen-play/dialogue writer who was the ‘king maker’ in the Hindi film industry. Some of the producers/directors like Mehboob Khan, Shashidhar Mukherjee, Sunil Dutt used to consult him while taking up their new film projects. It is said that though he would be officially engaged for writing screen-play and dialogues, in realities, he would be their adviser in almost all the aspects of the film-making. Some of the actors themselves used to get trained from him about the correct pronunciations of their dialogues in Hindustani. Ashok Kumar, Devika Rani, Nargis, Joy Mukherjee, Sadhna, Saira Bano were some of the actors who sought his advice on their Urdu diction.
