Ever since ‘Alam Ara’ (1931), the first Indian sound film was released in 1931, songs have become an integral part of our films. The Hindi films produced during the 30s and 40s used to have on anaverage 10-12 songs per film. Naturally, there was a demand for song writers(lyricists). So the producers of the films lured some well known Urdu/Hindi poets of that time to write lyrics of the songs for their films. Since the films were made in Hindustani (a name given by the film fraternity for a language which is a mix of Hindi and some common Urdu words)and some of the producers/directors and music directors were not well versed in this language, the lyricists also acted as guides to them. Some of the well known lyricists of 30s and 40s were, Arzoo Lucknowi, Safdar Aah Sitapuri, Kidar Sharma, Aziz Kashmiri, Behzad Lucknowi, Pandit Indra, Pandit Narendra Sharma, Zia Sarhadi, D N Madhok, P L Santoshi etc. Some of them also wrote scripts/ dialogues for the films.
