Today’s song is from the film Ek Roz-1947.
How many readers will know that a record number of films were made in 1947 in Hindi till then ? 181 Films ! It took another almost 40 years to cross this number. In the year 1985, the number of films made was 185.
Why was it that in 1947 alone such a high number of Hindi films were made ? The answer is – Partition of India in 1947 and the subsequent migration of Muslim film artistes to the newly created nation on the basis of Religion – Pakistan. Partition of India was the biggest blow to India, which had remained One Nation for thousands of years, despite having many religions thriving in it. Anyway, that is not the topic here.

After the introduction of playback singing system in Hindi films around 1935, many accredited singers from All India Radio (AIR), especially from Bombay (Mumbai), Lahore, Calcutta (Kolkata), Delhi, Lucknow/Kanpur etc got opportunities as playback singers in Hindi films. Apart from the popularity they got from the songs they sang for the films, the remuneration they received from playback singing was much higher than the fees they got from AIR.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.113
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (6 May 2013), six songs from six different movies (plus one non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8046 | Bhala thha kitna apna bachpan | Hemant Kumar NFS(1941) | |
| 8047 | Raushni apni umangon ki luta kar chal diye | Naadaan (1943) | 4 songs covered out of 11 by now |
| 8048 | Kis tarah bhoolega dil unka khayaal aaya huaa | Village Girl (1945) | 11 songs covered out of 12. Final song not available as of now |
| 8049 | Najariya mein aaiho | Nadiya Ke Paar (1948) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song |
| 8050 | Wohi rota hua ek dil | Lahore (1949) | 9 songs covered out of 10 by now |
| 8051 | Jahaan jaayenge deewaane wahin mehfil jamaa lenge | Isi Ka Naam Duniya Hai (1962) | 3 songs covered out of 8 by now |
| 8052 | Dil haarne waale aur bhi hain | Dil Diyaa Dard Liyaa (1966) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song |
We observe that two movies (out of six)) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 6 May 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. Both these movies in fact got YIPPEED on this very day ten years ago. That leaves us with four unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten YEar Challenge. Two of these unYIPPEED movies have just one song left to be covered. But these songs were rare and elusive songs. These movies are “Village Girl” (1945) and “Lahore”(1949).

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 17
—————————————————————————
When I look back on this day (5 april) ten years ago, this output of this blog had begun to go up. Four songs were covered on 5 april 2010 which was a 100 % improvement on two songs a day that the blog had got reduced to.
Following three songs were covered on that day :
| Song | Movie title-Year | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Palat meri jaan tere qurbaan | Aan Milo Sajna-1970 | All songs covered |
| Duniya hamaare pyaar ki yoon hi jawaan | Lahore-1949 | 08 of 10 songs covered |
| Bhool na jaana aaj ki baatein | Waapas-1943 | All songs covered |
| Door desh ka rahnewaala aayaa | Jawab-1942 | All songs covered |
We can see that three of the movies whose songs were covered have already been YIPPEED during the past ten years. That leaves us with just one movie which qualifies to be discussed under “Blog Ten Year Challenge”.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film Dev Kanya-46. The film was made by Vishnu Cinetone and was directed by its owner Dhirubhai Desai. Though there were 3 Lyricists, HFGK does not credit any song to any Lyricist. The melodious songs were composed by my favourite-or one of the favourites- MD Shyam Sundar (Gabba).
When I was a child, I was very fond of seeing Religious and Mythological movies. This was not because I was very religious minded, but because I liked the Trick scenes in these films. When I grew a little older, I was appointed the House Escort to a group of old relatives and women of the family whenever they wanted to see a movie- which was reasonably frequent. I would happily lead them as I too could see the film.
