Today’s song is a funny, ‘Anokhe Bol’ song from an iconic 86 year old film-Aadmi-1939.

The year was 1939 and the British Government had declared war against Germany and Japan, as soon as the WW II began. All countries ruled by Britain were – willingly or unwillingly, drawn into the war efforts and its effects. The war began in the month of September and soon various restrictions came into operation – like rationing, blackouts, shortages etc. The film industry which was still under its development stage suffered. It also realised the importance of remaining united as one industry. However, all that came after 1 or 2 years. In 1939 there was not much effect seen on the film industry.

Ten years back on this date viz on 20th October 2012, two songs from two different movies were covered on the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks

6875 Naachat jhoomat jaayen Gopal Krishna(1938) 2 songs covered out of 14 by now

Today’s song is from the film ‘Captain Kirti Kumar’ (1937). The song is sung by a child star of yore – Ram Marathe.

Do you ever wonder, what happens to child stars when they grow up or what must be adult actors doing when they stop getting roles or get retired ? In the early years of films, anyone looking good and was a tolerably good singer could become actor or an actress. Education was not necessary. Working in films was not considered good those days. So, those who joined film line, in their early years, had no other skill or education. The payments were dismal, there was no guarantee of continuation and temptations were too many.

GOPAL KRISHNA (1938) was produced under the banner of Prabhat Film Company both in Hindi and Marathi versions. The film was directed by V G Damle and S Fatelal. The star cast included Ram Marathe, Shanta Apte, Parshuram, Ganpatrao Tambat etc. I have not seen the full movie but based on a few short clips of the films including the video clips of the songs that are available on the internet, it is a mythological film with a subtle message of nationalism against the British rule in India. The conflict between Gokul villagers on the one hand and King Kansa on the other side was compared with that of Indians and the British rule. Some of the dialogues of Krishna were full of nationalist fervour. For instance, he says to Nand that if we continued the live under the fear of King Kansa, none of our work would be successful. In some other context, Krishna says that the King and his men have been blinded by an authority of absolute power and when Kans’s men drag our cows like dogs and keep with them without proper food, such ruler and his men need to be mauled.
