Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.113
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (6 May 2013), six songs from six different movies (plus one non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8046 Bhala thha kitna apna bachpan Hemant Kumar NFS(1941)
8047 Raushni apni umangon ki luta kar chal diye Naadaan (1943) 4 songs covered out of 11 by now
8048 Kis tarah bhoolega dil unka khayaal aaya huaa Village Girl (1945) 11 songs covered out of 12. Final song not available as of now
8049 Najariya mein aaiho Nadiya Ke Paar (1948) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song
8050 Wohi rota hua ek dil Lahore (1949) 9 songs covered out of 10 by now
8051 Jahaan jaayenge deewaane wahin mehfil jamaa lenge Isi Ka Naam Duniya Hai (1962) 3 songs covered out of 8 by now
8052 Dil haarne waale aur bhi hain Dil Diyaa Dard Liyaa (1966) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song

We observe that two movies (out of six)) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 6 May 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. Both these movies in fact got YIPPEED on this very day ten years ago. That leaves us with four unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten YEar Challenge. Two of these unYIPPEED movies have just one song left to be covered. But these songs were rare and elusive songs. These movies are “Village Girl” (1945) and “Lahore”(1949).

The final song of “Village Girl”(1945) continues to be unavailable. Final song of “Lahore”(1949) was also turning out of be just as elusive. So it came as a pleasant surprise to me when I found this song in my inbox to be covered under the Blog Ten Year Challenge today. Personally I was unable to locate this song but Prakashchandra, who sent me the lyrics of the song managed to discover it. On checking up, I found out that this song was uploaded one year back. In one year, this song had just 35 views and one like !

The movie “Lahore”(1949) was produced by Jaimini Dewan and directed by M L Anand for Jaimini Dewan productions,Bombay. The movie had Nargis, Karan Dewan, Kuldip, Pratima Devi, Om Parkash, Gulab, Balakram, Randhir, Urvashi, Ram Avtar, Kathana, Chanda Bai, S.BabuRao, Lalit Mohan, Manohar etc in it.

“Lahore”(1949) had ten songs in it. Nine songs have been covered in the past. Here are the details :-

Here is the tenth and final song from “Lahore”(1949) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Karan Dewan. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Shyam Sundar.

Only audio of the song is available. In case this song was picturised, it was obviously picturised on Karan Dewan himself.

Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

With this song, “Lahore” (1949) finally has all its songs covered in the blog. The movie thus gets YIPPEED in the blog and joins the list of movies that have already been YIPPEED in the blog.

Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Duniya Jhukti Hai’ (1960).

It was a social film made by the legendary Wadia Movietone. It was directed by the elder of the two brothers- JBH.Wadia. The MD was Hemant Kumar and the songs were written by Rajendra Krishna. The cast of the film was Sunil Dutt, Shyama, Daisy Irani, Kumkum, Agha, BM Vyas, Damuanna Malavankar, Madhu Apte, Dalpat, Neelambai and many others. There are two actors from Marathi cinema. Let us know more about them as not much is known about them in the Hindi cinema world.

In the early era of the cinema there was a trend to make films in 2 languages – Local and Hindi. Therefore most films made by Marathi filmmakers at Bombay, Poona and Kolhapur were made in Marathi and Hindi. The consideration was only commercial. Local language for local audience and Hindi for All India market. Similarly, in the South too Bilinguals were made. However, here the languages were Tamil and Telugu. The other two Language films Malayalam and Kannada started a bit late. Some films, however, were made even in 3 languages or sometimes dubbed in other languages. Hindi films from the south started quite late, in 1948, with ‘Chandralekha’ made by SS Vasan. After its success, for the next 8 to 10 years southern bilinguals were made in Local and Hindi languages.

Even in Calcutta, films were made in Bangla and Hindi, with the same commercial angle. In Calcutta, some Hindi films too were made by film companies other than New Theatres. This trend of bilinguals from Calcutta was a regular feature since 1935 for about 15 years – longer than south or Marathi films.

One feature of these bilinguals was that Local language actors appeared in the Hindi version. For Marathi actors, speaking dialogues in Hindi was not much of a problem, so many such local actors worked in Hindi versions. Comparatively, southern and Bangla actors found it difficult to speak Hindi, so less number of local artistes appeared in bilinguals. Many times their dialogues had to be dubbed by some other artiste.

From Marathi, one such local popular artiste was Damuanna Malvankar. His full name was Damodar Rajaram Malvankar. He was born in a poor Bramhin family at Nippani (near Kolhapur) on 8-3-1893. He had only the basic education. In those days, there were no films, but stage dramas were very popular. Getting a job as an actor was easy. Damu had a natural squint and he skillfully used it as his best weapon.

At the age of 15 or so, he joined Keshav Rao Datey’s theatrical company ‘Maharashtra Natak mandali’. He used to get only comedy roles. After a few years, he joined Deenanath Mangeshkar’s ‘Balwant Sangeet Mandali’. When talkie films started, he joined cinema along with director Vishram Bedekar. He did films with Master Vinayak and Acharya Atre. His major films were with Vinayak and Atre, playing the caricature of a Marathi gentleman (‘Brandichi Batli/Brandy Ki Botal’, ‘Brahmachari’). His image became identified with the part of Chimanrao, the middle-aged householder of CV Joshi’s political satires, partnered by Vishnupant Jog’s Gundyabhau (‘Lagna Pahave Karun’, ‘Sarkari Pahune’). They remained partners for many years. Other directors filmed Joshi stories with them (e.g. Raja Thakur’s ‘Gharcha Jhala Thoda’) but never with Vinayak’s incisiveness. Malvankar went on to play many stereotyped character parts, usually as the foil to the lead actor, and one major ‘serious’ role, the lead character of ‘Gajabhau’.

Damuanna was a very popular comedy actor in Marathi films. He worked in over 50 Marathi films. At one time he used to get more than double of what the hero of the film used to get for his role. His most famous film role was that of ‘Chimanrao’, a fictional character in Marathi literature. His companion used to be ‘Gundyabhau’ acted by VS Jog. This comedy pair was a household name during their peak time.

Like all others, he too worked in the Hindi versions of successful Marathi films. In all, he acted in 12 Hindi films. They were ‘Krishnarjun Yuddh’ (1934), ‘Andheri Duniya’ (1936), ‘Bramhachari’ (1938), ‘Mera Haque’ (1939), ‘Ghar Ki Rani’ (1940), ‘Amrit’ (1941), ‘Sangam’ (1941), ‘Badi Maa’ (1945), ‘Jeevan Yatra’ (1946), ‘Subhadra’ (1946), ‘Main Tera Hoon’ (1947) and ‘Duniya Jhukti Hai’ (1960).

Damuanna was a good friend of Sunil Dutt and the latter wanted Damuanna, though retired, to work in at least one of his films. It took about a month to convince Damuanna to work in this film – ‘Duniya Jhukti Hai’, but finally he agreed. Along with him another old Marathi artiste Madhu Apte also was invited to be in this film. Thus these two old timers of Marathi/Hindi films appeared in this film.

His only daughter Bharati Malavankar was a heroine in Marathi films. Damuanna had very cordial family relations with the Mangeshkar family, from the days he had worked for Deenanath Mangeshkar’s drama company, when all these children were too young. This culminated in Hridaynath Mangeshkar marrying Bharathi Malvankar. Damuanna Malavankar died on 14-5-1975.
[Based on information from http://www.marathifilmdata.com, with thanks.]

The other Marathi actor was Madhu Apte. Madhu Apte’s full name was Madhukar Shankar Apte. He was born at Poona on 1-3-1919. He was a Marathi stage and film actor predominantly, who successfully used his handicap of stammering to advantage, in delivering dialogues and creating humor by mistiming the dialogues.

He acted in many Hindi films for about 40 years. His first film was ‘Ramshastri’ in 1944. He used his stammering as a means to create comedy. He worked in 33 Hindi films. For this he had to travel from Poona to Bombay frequently. This affected his health and he said goodbye to acting somewhere in 1985. His last Hindi film was ‘Aasha’ (1980).

Madhu Apte died on 25-2-1993 at Pune.

The film ‘Duniya Jhukti Hai’ was quite entertaining. The music was good and the story had a happy ending. The story of the film is. . .

After his lover ditches him by marrying a rich person, Mohan (Sunil Dutt) changes his name as Bankelal and becomes a criminal in a gang run by The Boss (BM Vyas), whom no one has seen. One day Bankelal saves a child, Munna from drowning and these two develop a close bonding. However, initially, Munna’s widowed mother Lakshmi (Shyama) does not like this bonding. But when Munna falls ill, she realizes that Banke has a real love for the child and she starts getting attracted to him. During Munna’s illness, Banke promises him that he will leave the criminal’s profession and go straight hereafter. When Munna is well, Banke surrenders to the police, who request him to help them get The Boss. When The Boss comes to know all this, he kidnaps Munna.

While searching for Munna, there is a gunfight. As Banke is about to shoot The Boss, Lakshmi shouts that he is the father of Munna. In this commotion The Boss escapes, but the police shoot him dead. All is well now. Bankelal marries Lakshmi and they live happily thereafter with Munna.

Today’s song is a typical musical melody you find in the cinemas of the 50’s decade. Later on this disappeared in songs, with more of orchestration and less of melody (Check S-J’s music, for example) became prevalent. For now, enjoy this duet sung By Mohd. Rafi and Asha Bhonsle.

“Teerandaaz”(1955) was directed by H S Rawail. The movie had Ajit, Madhubala, Jairaj, Kuldip Kaur, Yashodhara Katju, Chanchal, Chandrashekhar, Helen, Gope etc in it.

The movie had six songs in it. All songs were female solo sungs sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Five songs have been covered in the past. Here are the details:-

Blog post number song Date of post
3647 Ye haseen shaam gardish mein jaam 13 March 2011
15061 Badi bewafa hai udti hawa hai 6 June 2019
16119 Rehti nahin hamesha ye chaand ki jawaani 27 December 2020
16265 Maine rakh dee nishaane pe jaan re 13 March 2021
17517 Ishq aaya meri duniya mein to aise aaya 4 March 2023

From the songs, it would appear that the movie was about a lady whose main purpose in life was to fall in love and sing songs dealing with various moods associated with love. 🙂 But no, that was not the case, the lady also played a masked teerandaaz and she championed the cause of suffering masses against a tyrast zameendaar. In order words, she played a female zorro !

Here is the sixth and final song from “Teerandaaz”(1955). This song, like all other songs of the movie, is sung by Lata Mangeshkar, penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed by C Ramchandra. My guess is that these songs are best enjoyed asstand alone offerings. The fact that only audio of these songs are available helps in that.

This song, the final song from the movie, is quite a nice song to listen to. And that was the reason why I had saved this song for the last !

With this song, all the six songs of the movie have been covered in the blog. So, “Teerandaaz”(1955) now joins the list of movies that have already been YIPPEED in the blog.


Song-Ae pardanasheen ye ishq kahin parde mein chhupaaya jaata hai (Teerandaaz)(1955) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra
Chorus

ae pardaanasheen

pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai
naadan kahin inn sholon ko
seene mein dabaaya jaata hai
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa

pardon mein abhi hone de jawaan
andaaz yeh teerandaazi ke
andaaz yeh sab reh jaate hain
jab teer chalaaya jaata hai
ae pardaanasheen
yeh ishq kahin
pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai

maana ke jabaan khaamosh rahe
aankhon pe magar kaaboo kiska
maana ke jabaan khaamosh rahe
aankhon pe magar kaaboo kiska
afsana-e-dil honthon se nahin

ae pardaanasheen

pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai

is aag ka bujhna mushqil hai
is raaz ka chhupna mushqil hai
is aag ka bujhna mushqil hai
is raaz ka chhupna mushqil hai
hote hain yahaan ghar mein charche
jitna yeh chhupaaya jaata hai
ae pardaanasheen
yeh ishq kahin
pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai

“Teerandaaz”(1955) was directed by H S Rawail. The movie had Ajit, Madhubala, Jairaj, Kuldip Kaur, Yashodhara Katju, Chanchal, Chandrashekhar, Helen, Gope etc in it.

Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia, mentioned (while discussing a previous song of this movie that

The story of film Teerandaz-55 was about a masked Teerandaz who supports the oppressed janta against a Tyrant Senapati. The Teerandas is a girl- Madhubala.

The movie had six songs in it. All songs were female solo sungs sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Four songs have been covered in the past.

Here is the fifth song from “Teerandaaz”(1955) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.

Only audio of the song is available. It is clear that all the six songs were picturised on Madhubala. So Madhubala, in addition to playing a masked “teerandaaz” also found time to fall in love and sing songs dealing with the subject of “ishq”. 🙂 That is how Indian movies are. No matter what is the core activity of the lead actors in Hindi movies, they would still fall in love, feel betrayed in love and sing lots of songs to express their feelings. 🙂


song-Ishq aaya meri duniya mein to aise aaya (Teerandaaz)(1955) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra

ishq aaya meri duniya mein to aise aaya
ik jhalak deke chhupa chaand
andhera chhaaya
ashqon mein doob doob ke aayi hansi to kya aa
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
ashqon mein doob doob ke aayi hansi to kya aa
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya

bulbul ne jab kafas mein thhikaana bana liya
angdaayi leke shaakh se phhooti kali to kya
angadaati leke shaakh se phhooti kali to kya
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya

ro ro ke bujh gaye meri aankhon ke jab chiraag
ro ro ke bujh gaye meri aankhon ke jab chiraag
phir zindagi mein shamm-e-muhabbat jali to kya
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya

jab zindagi mein koi tamanna hi na rahi
tab jaa ke dil ko ishq ki manzil mili to kya
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
ashqon mein doob doob ke aayi hansi to kya aa
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1973-17)
——————————————-———————————————
(A tribute to Music Composer Ravi on his birth anniversary)
———————————————————————-

With this post we introduce the movie ‘Sone Ke Haath-1973’ on the blog. This is another movie from the year ‘1973’ that was so far missing from the blog.

“Sone Ke Haath-1973” was directed by P.D. Shenoy for ‘Vindhyachal Movies’.

It was produced by R.K. Soral.

It had Sanjay, Babita, Faryal, Amrish Puri, Durga Khote, Sulochana, Jankidas, Hari Shivdasani, B.B. Bhalla, with Mona, Majnu, Vedpal Varma, Lotan, Jugnu Jain, S.N. Mishra, Prahlad Munshi, Sheru, Ramfunny, Polson and Om Prakash and others.

Vijayita, Pinchoo Kapoor, Kailash Sharma, Dr. Purswani, Shakeel, Chander Bhasin, and Arpana Choudhary had friendly appearance in this movie.

The story idea of this movie was by R.K. Soral and dialogues of this movie were written by S.P. Bakshi.
P.D. Shenoy who directed this movie who also wrote the screenplay for this movie.

Editing of this movie was done by Baburao Barodkar.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 20.11.1973.

“Sone Ke Haath-1973” has four songs which are written by Rajinder Krishan and the music is composed by Ravi. The titles of this movie mentioned Asha Bhonsle and Usha Khanna as the playback singers for this movie.

If you want to know about the movie in a very short note here it is:-

The movie starts with actor Sanjay’s face on the screen and a voice (I am unable to identify) saying the following lines in the background …

“ye kahaani ghareebi aur anyaay ke aag se dahakte aaj ke ek naujawaan ki kahaani hai. Ye samaaj ke bhrashtaachaar se jakde huye aaj ke zameer ki kahaani hai” ….

I have neither watched this movie and nor do I have any recollections of reading about this movie or its songs during my growing years. When I went through the list of songs of this movie I failed to notice any familar song, except the one being covered in this post. After reading the lines of this song I was reminded of this song but I thought this was a well known song (it was frequently heard on radio in those years) so this must be some other song. However it turned out to be the same song. So I was surprised that such a well known song of its time was not posted on the blog till now.

Today’s song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. (Initially I had planned to take anoother song of this movie, but some information needs to be confirmed about that song).

Babita is lip-syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice on the screen and performing on this well-known song (?) where in Babita plays a ‘phool bechnewaali ladki’ and she is selling ‘champaa-chameli’ in this song. 🙂
Also seen in the picturisation of this song are Sulochana, Jankidas, Polson (those I can identify) and others (whom I am unable to identify) and many others.

Today 3rd March’2023 is the ninety-seventh birth anniversary of the great music composer Ravi Shankar Sharma who is known to us by the name of Ravi.

He was born on 3rd March’1926 and he passed away on 7th March’2012 leaving behind a treasure of his immortal, unforgettable and iconic songs that he composed for Hindi Film Music.

On this occasion we pay him our tributes and listen to this song composed by him.

We welcome this movie ‘Sone Ke Haath-1973’ on the blog with this song.

Let us listen to this sweet wonderful song composed fifty years ago ….

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Songs of Bhupinder Singh)
——————————————-——————————
(A tribute to Singer Bhupinder Singh on his birth anniversary)

Today 6th February’ 2023 is the eighty-third birth anniversary of Singer-Musician Bhupinder Singh. He was born on 06th February’1940 and he passed away last year, on 18th July’ 2022.

Had he been alive he would have turned eighty-two.

Bhupinder Singh as a singer has given us ‘timeless classics’ which will remain immortal in the ‘history of Hindi Cinema’. One of my favorite singers, he is also ‘one of my special voices of the decades of seventies’.

There is a long list of my favorites of Bhupinder Singh which I had mentioned in my detailed post on him on the blog on 19.07.2022.

As a tribute to him on his birth anniversary, today I am presenting a ‘lesser-known’ and ‘lesser-heard’ song sung by him from the ‘1978’ movie ‘Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan’.

“Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan-1978” was directed by Sikandar Khanna for ‘Amar Chhaya, Bombay’. It had Ashok Kumar, Rishi Kapoor, Moushumi Chatterjee, Amjad Khan, Ranjeet, Asrani, Paintal, Shashikiran, Mithoon Chakravarti, Arti, Sundar, Birbal, S.N. Tripathi, Gulshan Bawra, Asit Sen, Leela Mishra, Shivraj and others.

This movie introduced Mala Jaggi and Shobhini Singh.

Helen, Mukri and Dr. Shreeram Lagoo had guest appearances in this movie.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 04.09.1978.

I didn’t get to watch this movie during its first run. I have not watched this movie later either. I guess this movie is not available on ‘online platform’ or perhaps I could not locate it ?

Here is the brief summary of this movie taken from IMDB.

Aware that his grandson has acquired all the bad habits of a rich and spoiled brat, including womanizing and alcohol, Lala Ganpat Rai, instructs his lawyers to make it conditional that he, Vishal, not receive any money or property from his estate unless he fulfills either of two conditions. One: That he marry a woman of Rai’s choice, Shalini, who shall inherit half of the property; and in order for Vishal to inherit all of the property he must re-locate to their farmhouse in a village, cultivate a piece of land, and grow some crops on it within one year. Needless to say, Vishal is enraged at this, and neither of the two conditions are acceptable to him. However, he reconsiders this, and he and half a dozen friends travel to the village, set a comfortable albeit accommodations, and attempt to cultivate the land. Things do not go as planned, as Vishal and his friends are accused of molesting and raping a village belle, which leads to her suicide. His friends, noticing the changed atmosphere, disappear, leaving Vishal alone to carry out the mammoth task of cultivating the land on his own, without help or support, and angry villagers who may expel him from their village. It looks like Vishal is on his way of losing everything he had ever hoped, prayed, and taken for granted.

I have the memories of the ‘mukhda’ of the title song of this movie and the other song familiar to me with this movie name is ‘mannu bhaai motor chali pam pam pam’.

I am not familiar with the other songs of this movie so when I was browsing the movie page of this movie in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) I noticed that there is song sung by Bhupinder Singh in this movie. I listened to this song and like it very much. Today I am presenting this song to you.

Before that we will have a look on the songs of this movie.

This movie has six songs – all written by Rajinder Krishan, and the music for this movie was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog earlier in 2019.

SNo Song Title Singer/s Posted on
01 Mannu bhaai motor chali pam pam pam Kishore Kumar, Asrani, chorus 04.08.2019
02 He ilaahi yah kaisi kaisi sooratein…kaisa pardaa hai, jalwaa jalwaa hai Kishore Kumar, chorus
03 Main to … sab khil gaye gaalon pe mere Lata Mangeshkar 03.11.2019
04 Duniya mein sab se haseen, … arey kaun hai kidhar hai kaisi hai Kishore Kumar
05 Jo insaan jitnaa paseena bahaaye… phool khile hain gulshan gulshan Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi, Mann Dey, chorus
06 Pyaar pardon mein chhupaane se kahaan chhuptaa hai Bhupinder Singh, chorus Being discussed in this post

Only one song from this movie i.e. Mannu bhaai motor chali pam pam pam made it to the ‘annual list of ‘Binaca Geetmala’ of the year 1979’ and it stood at number 33.

Let us now listen to the wonderful song sung by Bhupinder Singh. (I guess that this song must be played in the background in the movie). I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs including this song in particular.

Only the audio of the song is available.

Lyrics are by Rajinder Krishan and music is composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

Blog Day :

Today’s song is a funny Dance song from the film – Naya Aadmi-1956.

There were 4 films with titles Aadmi – in 1939, 1957, 1968 and 1993. Then came films describing an Aadmi, like Aadmi sadak ka-1977, Pehla Aadmi-1950, Naya Aadmi-1956 and Bhala Aadmi-1958. Aadmi alone is not good, so films came like Aadmi aur Apsara-1991, Aadmi aur Aurat-1984 and 1999, Aadmi aur insaan-1969 and even Aadmi ki Aurat-2009 !

Since the times when the adventurous S.S.Vasan-Producer, Director and Owner of Gemini Studios, made his film ” Chandrakanta”- in Hindi in 1948 on a mammoth scale (with over 600 prints of the Hindi version for simultaneous release on All India basis on 24th December 1948), the Southern film industry woke up. After the film Chandrakanta was successful, Vasan started making remakes of his Tamil hit films in Hindi one after another. When other filmmakers of the South saw Vasan busy doing this and visiting his bank very often with several bags full of money to deposit, they too joined the bandwagon !

Thus, the entire decades of the 50’s and the 60’s saw many films from South, in the form of Remakes of Southern Hit films, Dubbed or shot at Madras for the All India audience of Hindi films. After Vasan’s Gemini, A.V.Meiyyappan’s AVM, Nagi Reddy’s Vauhini Studios and L.V.Prasad’s Prasad productions gave many films, made with all Southern, all Bombay or a mixed cast of actors. Many major Heroes of South secretly nurtured a desire to shine in the Hindi belt. They joined this race. Actors like M.G.Ramchandran (MGR), N.T.Tama Rao (NTR), A.Nageshwar Rao (ANR), Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan etc., actresses like Bhanumathy, Jayalalitha, Jamuna etc and character artistes like Relang, S.V.Ranga Rao etc appeared in Hindi films. ( A very loooong list of such remakes and dubbed films is available on IMDB ). Even today many Southern Hit films are remade or dubbed in Hindi and the addition is, many Hindi Hits are also remade in Southern languages. The West Bengal Film Industry which actually led this trend in the 30’s and the 40’s has fallen way behind now.

The cast of film Naya Aadmi-56 was Anjali Devi (south), N.T.Rama Rao, jamuna, Ram Sarma, Ragini (South), Anwar hussain, Gope , Helen, Raja sulochana etc etc. Music was by the pair of M.S.Vishwanathan and T.K.Rammurthy. This was their First Hindi film as Music Directors. Film Naya Aadmi-56 was made by Jupiter Pictures, madras. The film was directed by C.P.Dixit. The original film was Tamil Hit film VELAIKARI – 1949, which was remade as Naya Aadmi in Hindi-1956, Santosham in Telugu in 1956 and also as Malli Maduve in Kannada in 1963.

Jupiter Pictures, one of the top Tamil banners of the time, entered into a five film contract with matinee idol N.T. Ramarao and simultaneously remade their box office Tamil hit, Velaikari (1949) as Santhosham in Telugu and Naya Aadmi in Hindi. Interestingly Velaikari was also released in some Telugu provinces with the title ‘Dasi Kanya’ in Telugu in the posters. C.P. Dixit who assisted L.V. Prasad for the Hindi version of Jupiter’s Tamil, Hindi bilingual Rani (1952) was signed to direct both Santhosham and Naya Aadmi . The cast for both the versions remained the same but for Anwar Hussain stepping in for Jaggaiah and comedian Gope replacing Relangi for Naya Aadmi.

Since Telugu language was a problem for the Bombay based director C.P. Dixit, T. Hanumantharao assisted him as dialogue director. Dixit later directed about a dozen movies apart from Naya Aadmi, in Hindi including Paras , Mausam, Fakira, Ghazab and Beta Ho Tho Aisa (1994). earlier he had also acted in Hindi film Namoona-1949. Viswanathan- Ramamurthy composed the music which also contributed to Santhosham ’s success. NTR signed a five film contract with Jupiter Pictures – Santhosham and Naya Aadmi followed by Umasundari (1956- directed by P. Pullaiah), Valmiki (1963 -C.S. Rao) and Marmayogi (1964- B.A. Subbarao).

When the film was remade in Kannada with Dr. Rajkumar in the lead as Malli Maduve (1963) G.K. Venkatesh composed the music. Santhosham was released on December 24, 1955 and Naya Aadmi a week later on January1, 1956.

Though NTR acted in 23 Hindi movies,Naya Aadmi-1956 was the only film which was simultaneously made in Hindi and Telugu and hence so to say, was his only Hindi film. The other 22 films were dubbed in Hindi.

He had dubbed his Hindi dialogues himself. As he had problems with Hindi,the Dialogues were written in Telugu for him to understand the correct diction.
The music was given by the famous duo of Vishwanath-Rammurthy,who were as prolific as S-J in Hindi.Vishwanath used to sing songs also in south films.
Madan Mohan was opted for this film,as he was quite popular in south production houses-who understood his talent. However,since most songs had same tunes like Telugu songs, the duo also was retained in Hindi version. My information from the southern journals is that this song was composed(except the tune) by Madan Mohan. I do not know why his name is not mentioned in HFGK.

Just for information,the Telugu song is equally interesting.It is also available on You Tube.

Speaking of the “comic talent ” of NTR, let me tell you, there was one movie in 1954, VADDANTE DABBU (which means-Money when denied also), in which NTR with ANR (Akkineni Nageshwar Rao), Jamuna and Janki made a tremendous impact in comedy. This film became so popular that later he was offered comedy roles only. He,however,continued with Mythology and Historical films. Incidentally, this was a remake of a Marathi film “LAKHACHI GOSHT,”-1952, which was the story of a Lakh of Rupees, starring Raja Paranjape, Raja Gosavi, Chitra and Rekha etc.

In the 40s and 50s, Hindi, Marathi and Telugu films were exchanging themes,without obligation.

I hope our readers had enjoyed the Telugu Superstar’s Hindi Qawwali, already posted on this blog a few years back.

I have seen this movie when it was released in 1956.I also saw “Santhosham”, its Telugu version which also came soon after. The Telugu film was a mammoth success,celebrated jubilees and was remade in Kannada as well.

The Hindi version NAYA AADMI-1956 was not successful, maybe NTR was not a name known to many people elsewhere. However the music became powerful. The film was directed by C.P.Dixit-his first Hindi film.Later he directed 10 more Hindi films featuring top guns like Sanjeev kumar etc. He also acted in the film Namoona-1949. He was earlier an assistant to L.V.Prasad.

The story of this film was….

Mayadas,a money lender is a wealthy widower,whose son Shekhar loves their maid Chandani and his daughter Rajani hates her.Sitaram who took loan to educate son Anand cannot repay and Mayadas auctions his house.Sitaram commits suicide.His son Anand returns and knows this.He plans revenge on Mayadas.
One day Anand and his friend Jaggu find the dead body of Parmanand,a rich Zamindar from England.Anand is his look-alike and impersonates him.The blind mother receives him gladly and fixes his marriage with Rajani.After marriage,Anand tortures Rajani,uses all her money and insults Mayadas openly.He also creates rift in Shekhar and mayadas. Mayadas throws Shekhar out and burns Chandani’s house.
Now Shekhar wants to take revenge on Anand.
The further story tells us how both the men are converted to goodness and how everything settles down to normalcy with respective persons learning their lessons in life.

The highlight of the film was its music.

One of the Heroines of this film was Jamuna. There was another Same Name actress Jamuna Barua from the Bangla films about whom we know. Let us know about this Jamuna from South.

Jamuna (born 30 August 1936) is an actress, director and politician who appeared mainly in Telugu films. She made her acting debut at the age of 16 in Dr. Garikapati Rajarao’s Puttillu (1953), and received her breakthrough with L. V. Prasad’s Missamma (1955). Her filmography also includes Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi films. She won a Filmfare Award and an award at Filmfare Awards South. She was a Member of Parliament in the 9th Lok Sabha (1989–1991) representing the Rajahmundry constituency.

Jamuna was born in Hampi of present-day Karnataka to Nippani Srinivasa Rao and Kowsalya Devi. Jamuna was named Jana Bai. Her father is a Madhva Brahmin, while her mother is a Vaisya and they had an inter-caste love marriage. Her father was involved in the business of turmeric and tobacco and their family moved to Duggirala, in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh when Jamuna was seven years old. She grew up in Duggirala. When Savitri was performing drama in Duggirala, she stayed in Jamuna’s house. Later, Savitri invited Jamuna to act in films. She entered as a heroine in movies at the age of 15. Jamuna’s mother tongue is Kannada.

Jamuna was a stage artist in school. Her mother taught her vocal music and harmonium. Dr. Garikipati Raja Rao (see Indian People’s Theatre Association IPTA) watched her stage show Maa Bhoomi and gave her an offer to act in his film Puttillu in 1952.She acted in 198 films in Telugu and other south Indian languages. She also acted in Hindi films, winning the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award for Milan (1967), repeating her role from the original Telugu film Mooga Manasulu (1964). Jamuna acted in 22 Hindi films. Her well known Hindi films were Miss Mary-1957, Sadhana-1958, Hamrahi-1963 and Milan-1967. These were films made in Hindi actually, at Bombay and Madras. All the other films were dubbed films.
She also established Telugu artist association and has been doing social service through it for the last 25 years.

It is almost a custom among the southern film artistes to be in Politics atleast for some time. Jamuna also had a political career. Jamuna joined the Congress party in the 1980s and was elected to the Lok Sabha from Rajahmundry constituency in 1989. She lost the 1991 election and quit politics but briefly campaigned for the in the late 1990s during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure.

Jamuna married Professor Juluri Ramana Rao, a zoology professor in SV University, in 1965; he died on 10 November 2014 aged 86 due to cardiac arrest. They have a son, Vamsee Juluri and daughter, Sravanthi. They live in Hyderabad, Telangana. (Adapted from wiki, nett4you,with thanks. I have also used information from The Hindu article dated 11-9-2014 and an article from Andhra Prabha dated 27-1-1974, muVyz, HFGK and my notes).

Now let us enjoy this dance song. Helen danced on this song, even in its Telugu version- Santosham-1956, which was her first Telugu film. Later she danced in many southern films.

dhan ke firaak mein na chain paaye man
bolo kis kaam phir aayega ye dhan
dhan nahin dhan aisa ye to hai sharaap
aisi duniya mein bhaiyya
jeena bhi hai paap
jeena hai paap
athanni jahaan amma
rupaiya hove baap
aisi duniya mein bhaiyya
jeena bhi hai paap
jeena hai paap

mili hai ye zindagi to jeene ke liye
hansi hansi khaane aur peene ke liye
maam barimba chumba chumba
maan barimba chumba chum

mili hai ye zindagi to jeene ke liye
hansi hansi khaane aur peene ke liye
sab kuchh hote huye
rote kyun hain aap
aji rote kyun hain aap
aisi duniya mein bhaiyya
jeena bhi hai paap
jeena hai paap
athanni jahaan amma
rupaiyya hove baap
aisi duniya mein bhaiyya
jeena bhi hai paap
jeena hai paap

#(Birth Anniversary of C. Ramchandra – A tribute)
——————————————-——————————

Today 12th January’2023 is the one hundred and fifth birth anniversary of one of the greatest music directors of Hindi Cinema C. Ramchandra.

He was born on 12th January’1918 and passed away on 5th Janunary’1982.

On this occasion as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the ‘1955’ movie ‘Luteraa’.

This movie had made its debut on the blog on 23.10.2013 with one of its songs posted on the blog then. However that remains the only song from this movie to be covered on the blog so far.

Today’s song is the second song from this movie to be posted on the blog.

It was produced by Dalsukh M. Pancholi.

This movie had Naseer Khan, Zabeen, Beghampara, Nazeer Hussain, David, Om Prakash, Noor, Shyam Lal, Ramesh Thakur, Prakash, Ramlal, Master Ashok, Bhalla and others.

Song-Mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye to achcha ho (Luteraa)(1955) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra

Lyrics

nazar ke saamne ae
jab lut gayaa aa aa
jahaan mera aa
koyi bataaye
thhikaana hai
ab kahaan mera aa
mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye
to achchha ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye
to achchha ho
hamesha ke liye aaraam
aa jaaye to achchha ho o

tumhaare saath jeene ki
tamanna thhi huyi rukhsat
tumhaare saath jeene ki
tamanna thhi huyi rukhsat
agar ab zindagi ki shaam
aa jaaye to achchaa ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye
to achchha ho

mubaarak ho tujhi ko
ab khushi ke jaam ae duniya
mubaarak ho tujhi ko
ab khushi ke jaam ae duniya
yahaan to zehar ka ik jaam
aa jaaye to achchha ho
yahaan to zehar ka ik jaam
aa jaaye to achchha ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye
to achchha ho
