There are some popular Kishore Kumar songs that were inspired from songs that were originally created in 1930 and 1940s and they were from movies featuring Ashok Kumar. For example, Kishore Kumar’s “Padosan” song “ek chatur naar karke singaar” was inspired from “Jhoola”(1941) song, “ek chatur naar kar kar singaar” which was sung by Ashok Kumar and it was picturised on Ashok Kumar himself. For that matter, even the movie “Padosan” was inspired from “Jhoola”(1941).
Then there is Kishore Kumar’s popular song “koi humdum na raha” from “Jhumroo”(1961). This song was inspired from “Jeewan Naiyya”(1936) song Koi humdum na raha which was sung by Ashok Kumar and was picturised on him as well.

Today’s song is from a social film the early era -Janmabhoomi-1936.
This was sort of a hidden or disguised Patriotic film. In those days films were scrutinised minutely by the British Government to eliminate any scene, dialogue or a song, which they suspected was a criticism of the Government. This was to ensure that there should not be any room to create or spread criticism of the Government or to promote patriotism leading to a revolt.
The police became stricter during the war period and it became the reasonKavi pradeep had to go underground for a few months for writing a daring songforthe film ” Kismet”-1943. The song was ” Door hato aye duniya walo (move away, O outsiders)”, which invited the ire of the then Government.
The first Talkie film came in 1931. The first year had just 24 films, but within a span of 3 years, the Talkie films crossed the century mark, with 121 films in 1934, 152 in 1935 and 134 in 1936. Making a film was a complicated process which needed a studio, the latest machinery and a lot of money. This was difficult for a single person and thus the Studio System got established. The studios ruled the industry and the film making. Films were sold on the names of the studios and the actors had secondary appeal to the audience.

Today, December 10, 2025, is the 24th Remembrance Day of Kumudlal Ganguly, well-known by his screen name, Ashok Kumar (13/10/1911 – 10/12/2001), the first super star and the Bhishma Pitamah of Hindi films. He was conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1988 for his contributions to Indian Cinema and Padma Bhushan Award in 1999.
Ashok Kumar was the eldest among four siblings and his father, a practicing lawyer in Khandwa wanted him to follow his profession. He was admitted to a law college in Kolkata where he may have been influenced by New Theatres films thus creating his interest in cinema. But his interest was confined to the technical side of the film making. He joined The Bombay Talkies as a laboratory technician where his brother-in-law (sister’s husband), Sashadhar Mukerji was a sound engineer and production manager in 1934.
