(Celebrating Saawan-2025-8)
——————————-

If one takes a look at the number of saawan songs’ on the blog saawan songs from the decades of 1930s through 1970s that are yet to be represented here. This year we are posting some songs from this category under the ‘celebrating saawan-2025’ series. Today’s song is the eighth song in this series.

The song under discussion is from the 1948 movie ‘Gopinath’. It was directed by Mahesh Kaul for Shanti Lokchitra, Bombay. It was a “social” movie. The cast of this movie had Raj Kapoor, Trupti Mitra, Latika, Nand Kishore, Sachin Ghosh, Randheer, Anwari Bai, Feroz, Mahesh Kaul, Bay Zubeida, Niranjan Tiwari and others. This movie has nine songs written by Ram Murty – five songs, and four bhajans which are attributed to Surdas and Meerabai two bhajans each.

#Desh Kee Mittee Kee Khushboo#

The month of saawan is at its peak. Activities like visiting temples, offering prayers, having get-togethers and visiting nearby tourist places reach their peak in this season. This Sunday there a was trip arranged by the family club of the colony at my new workplace. However, I could not participate in that due to other priorities. People from my department who were part of this trip told me that the place they visited had a big farm with a ‘lake/pond’ around and a temple of goddess. The snacks and lunch were arranged from the canteen at our work place only and people enjoyed ‘antaaksharee’, housie, playing games and relaxing in the midst of lush green fields around. We in India celebrate nature, and we celebrate seasons. We pay our respect to nature through many customs and rituals. Different religious and spiritual activities are practiced during this period. People all over the country follow these customs, rituals, and traditions with some local variations.

Today’s song is from a film having a very ‘confusion causing’ title- Lachak-1951.

Yesterday morning, one of my Facebook friends, who is also a lover of old hindi film songs, sent me a message on messenger….” Today SLBS had broadcast a song from the film Lachak-1951,naming Inayat Ali as the Music Director. As per HFGK Lachak-1951 had music by Pt. Motiram. I am confused. Can you please solve this issue ?”

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-5)

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dashehraa-1956’. This is a rare song which has been made available more than a year back on internet. Regulars on this blog would have noted that there were many songs that were considered as ‘not traceable’ or were hitherto unavailable on internet are coming up gradually in recent years or more precisely in last couple of years. During the ‘regulars meet at Mumbai’ in 2023 I had made this observation during discussions about such ‘untraceable’ songs. On this blog our senior Shree Sudhir jee had taken up a series for the ‘missing films’ of the decade of ‘sixties’ earlier. At that time only one song from such movies (around hundred in numbers) was dug up and posted. I have noted that for all such movies now their other songs have also come up and posted either by music companies or passionate music lovers. This is ultimately going to increase the number of songs available with us and in turn reducing the number of songs that were considered as lost or un-traceable.

Today’s song is from the first film of Nargis as a Hindi film heroine – Taqdeer-1943.

The film was made by Mehboob Khan for his banner, Mehboob productions, Bombay.

In the history of Hindi Cinema, Mehboob Khan’s name would be written prominently as one of the great directors, who rose from scratch to a height attained by few other directors. Mehboob Khan directed 8 films for Sagar, 3 films for National and 11 films for Mehboob productions.
