Today’s song is from an 87 year old film Jwala-1938.

The film was made by Producer/Director Master Vinayak for his banner, Huns Pictures. Going out of his tradition, he had made a different type of film. Additionally, he continued to give the music responsibility of this film also to Classical musician – Dhamman khan, who had earlier done music for the film Chhaya-1936.

Dhamman Khan was one of those giants of classical music who had developed an urge (call it itch) to try their hand at composing film music, do a film or two and return to their own comfort zone again. Some such other examples are Bhurji Khan(Kurukshetra-33), Ameer saab(Nirdosh abla-35), Nawab Khan(Mirza sahiban-35), Wamanrao Sadolikar(Naganand-35…this is C.Ramchandra’s First film as a Hero. The film ran for just ONE day !), Abdul Kareem Khan (Maut ka Toofan-35 and Voh kaun-35), Master Giyasuddin (Typist girl-35) etc etc.

Today’s song is from the film Dharmveer-1937.

This film was released 6 years after the Talkie film started. Just before the advent of Talkie films, Parsi theatre and other drama companies were the only Entertainment sources. Parsi Theatre was famous and most successful because it travelled all over India to perform. They used special reserved Trains to carry people and sets,drapery etc for their company from kashmir to kanyakumari and Gujarat to Rangoon. The success of Parsi Theatre was attributed to Pt. Narayan Prasad Betaab, Pt. Radheshyam Kathavachak, Agha Hashra Kashmiri and Master Fida Hussain – called the four Pillars of Dramas.

As we review the historical record of look at the early years of Indian Cinema, true to the expectations, these formative years were very eventful and very exciting.  Any new art form, or a new concept, always attracts people who are the explorers, the adventurers – people who relish the excitements and risks of trying out the new.   Thus these formative years are full of new milestones, new people, new landmarks.  Their historical record makes for a very interesting read.

Time passes incessantly. And this relentless movement tends to become monotonous, if it were not for celebrations and festivals that punctuate the continuity of this passage. Time of the year again, for specific festivals and celebrations. A new enthusiasm and a new zest – to be doing new things differently.
