Most of us like to see films, be it on a TV, in a cinema hall, or through DVD. Some like old films, some like new films. Did you ever see films like, Khooni Khanzar, Dagabaj Doctor, Shaitaan ka paash, Char chakram, Daku Rani Talwarwali, Jaadu ka dandaa, Zinda Laash, Revolver Rani, Sindbad-Alladin-Alibaba, Flying man, Fighter Sheela, Khooni Darinda, Tarzan aur Jadugar, Tarzan aur Jadui Chiraag, Golden Gang, Murde ki jaan khatare mein, or Jadui putli ?
I bet none of these movie names have been even heard by you ever. These are all STUNT FILMS or in other words ‘C’ grade films.
Stunt films, Costume films, fantasy films and purely Religious films are normally treated as C grade films. These film do not carry any prestige, the actors working in them are exclusive to C grade films, the production values and the budget is quite low and most important, they are ALWAYS shown in theatres situated in older parts of the town, single screens, or only for Morning shows or in Theatres generally frequented by lower strata of society.
A person seeing/loving or craving for such films is generally considered a ‘Low’ creature and a person with ‘child brain’.
In India ,this is the fate of C grade films .Actually these films have everything that A and B grade films have, like, story, songs, dances, fights etc, but still, the treatment given to handling of the story etc in the films is very poor or lacking in expertise.
Stunts have improved, Technology has evolved but the participation of Zippy the Monkey, Tiger the Horse, Moti the Dog, parrots, snakes and khatara cars named Rolls Royce ki beti and Austin ki Bachhi is missing ! The contribution of Fearless Nadia in making Stunt films popular can not be denied, but then she had the backing of companies like Wadia Movietone. Basant pictures, Ranjit, Sagar, National etc. When you read the stories of these films please don’t employ Logic or common sense to it. This is a different world altogether. The set of actors is fixed, many times the composers are unheard of or they are known composers now in bad shape, the Directors are typical and the production houses are exclusive to churn out such films.
It is, nevertheless, a fact that many well known and famous actors and actresses of the 40s and 50s evolved from the stunt films of yore. Examples are Jairaj or Master Bhagwan. Can you believe that this roly-poly Bhagwan Dada was a great body-builder when he started in stunt films in the late 30’s ? Lalita Pawar (Amboo), Madhuri, Rampyari, Miss Moti, Sabita Devi, and Sulochana (Ruby Myers) are some female examples who graduated to Social films via Stunt films.
Sometimes Gems are found in these C grade films. Remember the famous qawali- Hamen to loot liya mil ke husn walon ne- which had the honour of becoming the prestigious 5000th song in this Blog ? This was from a C grade film- AL HILAL.
In the 50s and 60s,some respectability was brought to these stunt films by actors like Mahipal, Ranjan, Dara Singh, Azad, Hemant Birje etc. The Heroinesof these movies included Mumtaz, Tabassum, Vijaya Chaudhary, Indira, Nishi etc. Mumtaz started with Stunts and graduated to greater heights and was counted in Top actresses of her days. Costume and Stunt films like Baaz, Insaniyat and Azaad etc were made respectable by the stars acting in them. Over a period the picture changed and nowadays every alternate film has breath-taking stunts done by almost all top Heroes. Thanks to SFX !
Action/Stunt films have a major segment and that is films made with Jungle as a background. Such films had their inspiration from Hollywood Tarzan films. The original Tarzan story was written by Sir Edgar Rice Burrows and it was first published in 1912,followed by its 23 sequels. The story proved to be immensely popular.No wonder, then, that it attracted the Hollywood producers.
The First Silent film ” Tarzan of the Apes” was released in 1918 in which Tarzan’s role was done by Elmo Lincoln and Jane Porter was Enid Markey. From 1918 to 2008,Hollywood made 89 Tarzan Films. The First Talkie film on Tarzan was ” Tarzan-The Ape Man” in 1932.Johnny Weissmuller was doing Tarzan’s role and Maureen O’Sulivan was Jane in it. Johnny was a German bred Romanian settled in America. He was an Olympic Swimming Champion with 5 Gold medals. The pair of Johnny and Maurine was very popular. Johnny Weissmuller did 12 films of Tarzan from 1932 to 1948. 6 films with Maureen,2 without any Jane and 4 with Brenda Joyce. After Johnny, 5 Tarzan films were done by Lex Barker and 6 were done by Gordon Scott. After 1960,there were different Tarzan actors in every film. The Chimpanzee “Cheetah” was there in films from 1932 to 1960,when he died.
In most films, the scripts were loyal to the novels. However, in the novel, Tarzan and Jane get married and they have a son too. In films, they never got married and their son ” BOY ” was found and adopted by Jane. There was one film ” Tarzan goes to India”-1962, in which Firoz khan, Simi Garewal, Jagdish Raj (as Police Inspector),Murad and G. Raghavan had also acted.
In western films, the popular roles are done by the same actors in many films and they are known by that character. For example Sean Connery is famous for James Bond roles, similarly, Johnny Weissmuller is known for his Tarzan roles. These actors later did many other films but their names were connected to the famous roles forever. In India, we do not find such consistency. Here the actor is known by the Genre of his specialty films-like tragedy films-Dilip kumar, Comedy Films-Kishore kumar, Romantic films-Dev Anand, Action Films-Akshay kumar etc.
In India, the core concepts of famous stories on Tarzan, Mythology or folk/costume are adapted by our filmmakers with great talent and creativity. While doing so, they have twisted the Time frame, boundaries of famous stories have been scaled with exceptional ease and an unusual mixture of story characters woven into films. For example, films like Sindbad, Alibaba and Alladin-65 or Shankar, Seeta and Anusuya-65 can only be thought of by the most creative and innovative story writers !
Famous character Tarzan has been combined with Delilah, King Kong, Circus, Cobra, Gorilla, Hercules, Jadugar, Magic lamp, Jalpari, Paristan, Fairyland and even Delhi ! For our filmmakers Time and History are no barriers. Tarzan has been adapted to its Avatar in the form of Zambo, Zimbo, Zanga and Zingaro.
Films with Jungle Titles are almost 60. Here too, the kind of variety in Titles will surprise you. Jungle is coupled with Boy, Beta, Man, King, Jawan, Jawahar, Hero, Girl, Goddess, Princess, Chandni, Sherni, Nagin, Queen, Love, Love story, Haseena, Hoor, Ladki, Sundari, Jawani, Pyar, Muhabbat etc etc. There is one Junglee Tarzan also to sum up the titles.
Sometimes stunt films have a misleading title like Dildar, Dhokebaz, Bahadur kisan, Attention, Azad jeewan etc.etc. However expert Stunt lovers can make it by just seeing the cast. That’s one speciality of stunt films. Names of actors working in stunt films are rather unusual and sometimes weird too. Here are some examples – Mithoo Miyan. Bismilla, Jiji Bhai, Kunzroo, Runzod, Gareeb Shah, Fatty prasad, Kurban Jaun, Manchi Toothi, Bachha, Fazloo, Khodu Irani, Premi, Maqbool Pujari, Nirasha, Vilayatu and two special names CHEMIST and BAJARBATTU.
I was very curious about this name Bajarbattu and wanted to know who this person was. After many years, atlast I came to know about him. His real name was Anant Apte. He started his career with silent films, shifted to Talkie and finally he became a cinematographer and a leading Film Editor. In 1930, Prabhat Film Company had made a silent film “RANISAHEBA”. This was India’s first children’s film. In this film, actor Anant Apte’s name was Bajarbattu. This name became so popular that as long as he was acting, he used that name only in film credits. There is an anecdote about how he helped actor Dharmendra to get established in Hindi films.
Dharmendra was a struggling actor in 1961. He was working in Shola aur Shabnam- his just the second film. He came to know that Bimal Roy was planning to make Bandini. He knew that once he acts in Bimal Ro’s film, his struggle will be over, so he went to Bimal Roy and asked for work. He also told him about his 2 films. Bimal Roy said, ” If you can bring and show me 1 or 2 reels of your films, I can think about you.” Dharmendra went to Ramesh Saigal to ask for 2 reels of film Shola or Shabnam to show to Bimal Roy. Saigal was angry and said” I dont show my film reels to any other director-even if he is Bimal Roy”
Dharmendra was in tears. Those days Anant Apte (Bajarbattu) was the editor of that film. He told Dharmendra ” dont lose hopes. I will give you 2 reals ” He gave 2 reels to Dharmendra and those reels won him a role in film Bandini ! Then there was no stopping him. Anant Apte’s younger brother Madhu Apte was also an actor in Marathi and Hindi films. He stammerred a lot, but he used this lacuna to advantage and did comic roles. ( information from book ” गाथा मराठी सिनेमाची ” by Isak Mujawar ).
Today’s song is from film DILDAR-1947. This Stunt film was made by Shivraj productions and was directed by R.Shivraj, the owner himself. After the second world war many people who earned extra money by Black Marketing etc entered film industry and made many films. Some of them even directed films. This Shivraj probably was also one of them. Having directed his first film Dhokebaaz in 1946, he tried once again with this film and them closed his shop. I did not find his name ever after in any film.
The music was by Shaukat Dehalvi….who became famous and well known after changing his name for the 4th time as NASHAAD. Born as Shaukat Haidari, in Delhi, on 11-7-1923, He was one composer who used several names to give music. His first film was Dildar in 1947. He used the name Shaukat Dehlavi for Dildar-47, Paayal-48, Suhagi-48, Dada-49, Ghazab-51 and Ram Bharose-51. He was Shaukat Hussain Dehlavi for Jeene do-48, Shaukat Ali for Toote Tarey-48 and Shaukat Haidari for Aiye-49.
The Lyricist was C.M.Hunar. He wrote 89 songs in 12 films – Neelam-45, Kango-46, Haqdar-46, Stage Girl-47, Kismatwali-47, Dildar-47, Tigress-48, Jungle Goddess-48, Naqli Baap-49, Billi-49, Do Bahadur-53 and Jaani Dushman-57.
The song is a duet by Shaukat Dehalvi and Naseem Akhtar. With this song, film Dildar makes its Debut on this Blog.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2011-2021) – Song No. 23
———————————————————————————–
This day ten years ago (19 may 2011) saw four songs being covered in the blog. That month of may 2011 was seemingly a month when I was not in a position to discuss songs with the same regularily and rate that I used to achieve in the past. My guess is that summer vacations were on at that time. My school going daughter, my ife and our three pets had joined me at Nagpur and that as the reason for less number of posts in this month. With the benefit of hindsight, even that rate that I managed to achieve in this month ten years ago makes that month seems like a prolific month vis a vis the same month ten years later. 107 songs were covered in may 2011, whereas 18 days of the corresponsing month this year has seen only 26 songs getting covered in first 18 days of the month of may 2021.
Here are the details of the four songs covered in the blog on 19 may 2011:-
| Blog post number | Song | Movie (Year) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3904 | Ham apne dard ka kissa sunaaye jaate hain | Muqabala (1942) | Two songs covered by now out of nine |
| 3905 | Aasmaan se door taaraa ho gaya | Darogaji(1949) | Eleven songs covered out of 12. Final song unavailable |
| 3906 | Aaya re aaya re mera jaane bahaar aayaa | Insaaf(1966) | 2 songs covered by now out of six |
| 3907 | Naseeb hoga mera meharbaan kabhi na kabhi | Chaalis Din(1959) | 5 songs covered by now out of 8 |
We can see that all four movies remain upYIPPEED even ten years later. So potentially we can have four Blog Ten Year Challenge posts today. But realistically, it can not be that. For example, the one missing song of “Darogajee”(1949) seems to be unavailable. So another song from that movie cannot be discussed. And so, that movie cannot be YIPPEED as things stand today.
“Muqaabla”(1942) was chronologically the first movie whose song was covered ten years ago. This movie was produced by Homi Wadia and directed by Batuk Bhatt and BabuBhai Mistry. It had Fearless Nadia and Yakoob
with Sreenivas, Rajni, Dalpat, Agha, Nazira, Baby Madhuri, M.K.Hasan, Jal Khambata, Khan Mastana, A.Rehman, Azim, Habib, Kunzru etc in it.
The movie had nine songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the third song from “Muqaabla”(1942) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Khan Mastana.An unknown female voice joins in chorus for a few lines. A Karim is the lyricist. Music is composed by Khan Mastana.
The song is picturised as a dance song on a male and a female dancer. I am unable to identify the male dancer, but the ghaghra choli donning female is unmistakably fearless Nadia. It must be a rare occasion where fearless Nadia is dressed in a desi female attire and she is dancing like a desi lady. We are used to see her dressed in masculine attire and fighting baddies.
It is another man (and not the male dancer) who lip syncs the song on screen.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Can it be so that the female voice heard in the song is that of Fearless Nadia herself ? I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on this matter.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchaadra.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 140 # Qawwalis – 12 #
———————————————–
Welcome all to the twelfth article under this series. Earlier I had thought of concluding this series with today’s post. However, I have now decided to extend this series. That final fe posts will contain the details of the songs that were covered in this series.
For today’s presentation I am once again presenting a qawwali from the movie ‘Auliyaa E Islaam-1979’ (or Aulea-e-Islaam).
This movie was directed by A. Shamsheer for ‘Roopesh Film Combines, Bombay’. It was produced by Ram Gopal Gupta and Ram Kishan Gupta.
It had Farida Jalal, Tabrez, Imtiaz Khan, Soniya Sahni, Naaz, Jairaj, Nazir Hussain, Paro, Master Amjad and Rajendra Nath, Hakeem ji, Husn Bano, Shefali Choudhary and Master Tinoo, Mirza Musharaf, Khalifa, Usman, Ramesh Dubey, supported by Shatrujeet, Jagdish Raj, Rajan Haksar, Birbal. Mehmood, Padma Khanna, Keshto Mukherjee and Mukri had special appearances in this movie.
This movie had as many as eleven songs and I guess nine of them are qawwalis.
Famous qawwals Shankar-Shambhu, Jaani Babu, Yusuf Azad, Chhote Yusuf, Abdur Rab Chaush, Rashid Hairan, Aziz Warsi and Aziz Nazaan had sung the qawwalis in this movie and I think they performed on most of them as well.
Lyrics for this movie were written by Gauhar Kanpuri, Vikar Nagari, Kamil, and Khurshid Anwar. Music for this movie was composed by Jaani Babu.
Today on ‘Eid’ here is a ‘sufiyana qawwali’ from ‘Aulia E Islaam-1979’ sung by Jaani Babu who the composer of this qawwali is too.
Let us all pray to the ‘almighty’ that let there be peace all over and let all be safe and healthy.
Wishing all a very happy ‘Eid’ once again…

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # 134 # Qawwalis – 11 #
———————————————–
Today’s qawwali is from the ‘1979’ movie ‘Auliyaa E Islaam’. Music for this movie was composed by Jaani Babu Qawwal the famous qawwali singer and composer of yesteryears.
Any discussion on Qawwalis either from Hindi movies or non-film music is incomplete without the mention of Jaani Babu Qawwal. He has left an indelible mark in Qawwali singing and in the history of Hindi film music. In Hindi movies there may not be many movies where he had sung or composed music for. But whatever he has composed or sung is unforgettable. He will always be remembered and whoever listens to his creations is surely going to fall in love with his voice and singing.
I have been longing to share a brief write-up with biographical information about Jaani Babu Qawwal, but it has taken time and I will be presenting it separately in the future.
For today’s presentation I am presenting a qawwali from the movie ‘Auliyaa E Islaam-1979’ (or Aulea-e-Islaam) was directed by A. Shamsheer for ‘Roopesh Film Combines, Bombay’.
It was produced by Ram Gopal Gupta and Ram Kishan Gupta. It had Farida Jalal, Tabrez, Imtiaz Khan, Soniya Sahni, Naaz, Jairaj, Nazir Hussain, Paro, Master Amjad and Rajendra Nath, Hakeem ji, Husn Bano, Shefali Choudhary and Master Tinoo, Mirza Musharaf, Khalifa, Usman, Ramesh Dubey, supported by Shatrujeet, Jagdish Raj, Rajan Haksar, Birbal. Mehmood, Padma Khanna, Keshto Mukherjee and Mukri had special appearances in this movie.
A Shamsheer the director of this movie was also the writer of this movie. Editing of this movie was done by Krishan Sachdev.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.08.1979.
This movie had as many as eleven songs, a good number of them being qawwalis (nine, if I am correct).
This movie had qawwalis by Shankar-Shambhu, Jaani Babu, Yusuf Azad, Chhote Yusuf, Abdur Rab Chaush, Rashid Hairan, Aziz Warsi and Aziz Nazaan.
Lyrics for this movie were written by Gauhar Kanpuri, Vikar Nagari, Kamil, and Khurshid Anwar.
As mentioned above music for this movie was composed by Jaani Babu.
Mohd Rafi, Mahendra Kapoor, Anuradha, Shankar-Shambhu, Jaani Babu, Yusuf Azad, Chhote Yusuf, Abdur Rab Chaush, Rashid Hairan, Aziz Warsi and Aziz Nazaan had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Today’s song or qawwali is sung by Jaani Babu and Shankar – Shambhu. This is a background song with the movie titles on the screen.
Let us now enjoy this wonderful qawwali.
With today’s song this movie ‘Aulia- E- Islaam’ makes its debut on the blog …
(During the preparation of this post I listened to some more songs of this movie and some of them are good qawwalis not to be missed.

Every few years or so, we have people proudly posting the photographs of their fingers with indelible ink in it, as proof of having voted in a parliament election or an assembly election. 🙂
These days, we have a non recurring once in a century occurrence taking place, namely Covid 19 vaccination. The process of this covid vaccination in India is very much comparable to the process of parliamentary general election. People are getting themslves vaccinated, and posting photos of their vaccination on their social media accounts. 🙂
India has two kinds of vaccines that are approved for vaccination. One is covishield (manufactured by Serum Institute of India Pune) and another is Covaxin (manufactured by Bharat Biotech, Hyderabad)
Both vaccines got the approval of India’s Central Drugs and Standards Committee (CDSCO) for emergency use on 3 january 2021 after they completed their various phases of trials.
Serum Institute of India has the largest capacity in the entire world for producing vaccines. Its vaccine Covishield was based on the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine developed in UK whereas Covaxin of Bharat Biotec was an indigenously developed vaccine. The capacity of Serum Institute of India is much higher than that of Bharat Biotech. Covishield vaccine was even offered by Government of India to some friendly countries. As on date, more than 80 countries have received consignments of Covishield vaccine, in a Government of India initiative dubbed as “Vaccine Maitri”. This initiative has won India tremendous goodwill worldwide. Some countries offered profuse thanks to India and Indian government for this gesture.
SII was manufacturing 65-70 million doses in a month but that was not enough to meet the demands of India and other countries. It plans to enhance its capacity to 100 million doses in a month and for that it has sought Government help of Rs 3000 crores($453 millions).
Till today, 90% of all vaccination done in India is of Covishield. Other 10 % is of covaxin. As of now (8 april 2021), 8 crore 29 lakh Covishield vaccine doses and 82 lakh covaxin doses have been administered in India. In addition, 6 crore 45 lakh doses of Covishield have also been supplied to 85 different countries as grant, on commercial basis, and also under CEPI, GAVI, WHO and UNICEFs COVAX programme.
These vaccines have much less stringent low temperature requirement for storage compared to some other vaccines developed abroad. So These vaccines can be transported and stored in India using the existing cold chain logistical infrastructure. That way they are suitable for other less developed countries of the world as well.
Coming to Indian vaccination programme, Just like all adult (18 plus) Indian citizens are eligible to vote, all citizens of certain age group are eligible for free vaccination. Initially people in 60 plus age group were eligible. Certain category of people, like doctors, frontline workers etc, who were in the forefront of fighting this pandemic were also eligible irrespective of their age. Beginning from 1 april 2021, all Indian citizens above the age of 45 are eligible. This will cover about 40 crore Indian citizens (out of 130 crore population).
My wife and daughter belonged to the category of medical personnel and so both of them were eligible for their doses of vaccination. Both of them got their two doses of vaccination before the end of march 2021.
I was not eligible. Some 45 to 59 years age group people who had comorbidities (viz serious health conditions) too were eligible before 1 april 2021 for vaccination on production of doctor’s report and many people of this age group got themselves vaccinated making use of this provision even when some of them had no comorbidities. My wife asked me to get myself vaccinated, as did our daughter, but I insisted that I was not eligible. I rejected my wife’s insinuation that I had hypertension and therefore comorbidity. 🙂
However, from 1 april 2021, I too became eligible for vaccination. My wife and daughter were in any case pestering me for that. The nearest hospital where vaccination was being administered was at NE Railway main hospital located near my workplace. I found out that the vaccination time was from 9:30 to 10 AM or so. I arrived at the place. I was under the impression (based on erroneous media reports) that there would be very small number of people and the medical staff would be sitting idle waiting for people to come. I was mistaken. There was a big crowd of people. So there were so many people interesting in vaccination, unlike what some media houses were trying to portray. I collected the form and filled it up. Though there was a good crowd, it thinned out by the time it was 10:30. I came to know that a limited number of doses are brought from the local state government cold storage that had to be consumed on the same day. There is no method of getting the supply replenished on the same day. 68 number of doses were allotted to the hospital on that day and they got used up within one hour.
I wondered how I was going to be able to get myself vaccinated if this was the state of affairs. The problem was, I was trying to avail the vaccination facility like a common man, standing in a queue, whereas I should have done it like a VIP, which I was for the Railway hospital, seeing that I headed the Railway workshop that employed 60% of all Railway employees based in Gorakhpur. My workplace was easily the biggest industrial workplace in Gorakhpur.
The next day of vaccination in the hospital was 5 april 2021, viz the next monday. This time I took no chances and asked my steno to phone up the doctor incharge of vaccination informing him that I would like to get vaccinated on that day. I went there, through the doctor’s entrance rather than the public entrance, which I was told was jampacked. My workplace has a small health unit headed by a lady doctor and she too was available there to make fuss over me-“hato hato saahab aaye hain”, getting the doctor incharge of vaccination to come and greet me etc. and in general to get my vaccination fast tracked. I had already filled up my form the previous day itself. As ID proof, I had attached my Aadhaar Card. That data gets filled in a computer, which verifies the Aadhaar card from UIDAI site. That done, the lady doctor made sure that I was the first person of the day to get vaccinated. 🙂
The vaccinated people are supposed to stay there for half an hour under observation to see that no adverse effect takes place on them. I did not feel any adverse effect, so I informed the lady doctor and left for the workplace. From there I informed my wife and daughter that I had taken my first dose. My daughter asked me to immediately take one tablet of paracetomol then and another tablet in the evening. But I am not feeling any ill effects, I protested. Still my daughter ordered me to take one tablet immediately which I duly did.
I realised after some time that I did not get the vaccination certificate that my wife and daughter had got. I thought that I would be able to get it using my Aadhaar Card number and registered mobile number. I was not far off in my guess but I also needed another information, viz Beneficiary Reference ID, which gets generated during registration at the vaccination centre. I asked my steno to find out this Beneficiary Reference ID. The steno found it out and even downloaded my Vaccination certificate on a nice photographic paper and presented in to me. So I had my vaccination certificate at hand. Later I downloaded a pdf copy on my mobile too and shared it with my wife and daughter.
This certificate is a miracle of Digital India initiative.It gives everyone a clearcut and foolproof, fully traceable, six sigma quality documentation of the progress of vaccination in the country. The details of all vaccination get updated in real time and they then figure in the live figures of vaccination at the site named cowin.gov.in.
The vaccination certificate has all the relevant details one can think of namely beneficiary details (name, age, gender, ID verification details, residence) and also vaccination details (name of vaccine, date of dose, next due date, vaccinated by, and place of vaccination). The certificate also had a machine readable bar code.
VaccineCertificate
When one looks at the vaccine certificate of USA (left in the picture above), technologically the most advanced nation on earth, one finds that their vaccine certificate is quite amateurish and that can be easily manipulated and forged. Their certificate will not pass muster as a legally valid document as it hardly contains any details, just name, vaccine name and date, and an illegible signature. That is all. There is no unique ID (say Social security number) mentioned in the certificate. Israeli certificate (right on the picture above)on the other hand is professionally made, as is expected of them.
I have mentioned earlier that many media houses, and also political parties are trying disinformation campaigns about the vaccines. There are many less informed people who fall prey to such malicious disinformation campaign. One school friend of my daughter phoned her. Her father had fallen prey to one such youtube video and he was refusing to listen to anyone and he would not get himself vaccinated. Would my daughter try to convince him ? How could I, if you and your mother couldnot, but let me try- my daughter replied. So my daughter was connected on phone to her old friend’s father. He stated that this youtube uploader has given such gory details about the process of vaccine manufacture that no one with a conscious could ever get these vaccines. My daughter asked him to get the credentials of this video uploader verified on wikipedia etc. Was he a qualified medical practitioner or belonged to pharma industry ? If not then his facts were imaginary, she informed him. But the Indian vaccines have been develoed in just two months, so these vaccines are fake as informed by this uploader- he stated. My daughter advised him about the vaccine development stages, that there are five stages, each stage is stringent. Initally tests are conducted on animals, then on humans, then the vaccines get certified by a regulatory agency. All this has taken nearly a year. The covishield vaccine has been certified fit for use in several countries, and not just India. In any case, this vaccine is developed not in India, but in UK, and India is only producing it under license, my daughter informed him.
Two days later, my daughter’s friend phoned again, and thanked my daughter profusely. After my daughter’s talk, her father had checked up on the credentials of the youtube uploader and had realised that he was unqualified to discuss this matter. He also realised that the vaccines had passed all the stages that vaccines are required to pass. So he had gone to the nearest vaccine center and had got himself vaccinated. That way, my daughter may have helped bring peace and harmony to the disturbed household of her old school friend. I felt quite proud of my daughter. It means she has the ability to convince others, which is a good ability to have for anyone.
The fact that India is self reliant in covid vaccines and is even in a position to export it to half the countries of the world is a matter of great pride for all Indians. This has been made possible by those Indians ho have lived in India and have tried to make a difference in the country. For instance, Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotec are doing cutting edge work in their field. On this occasion of natinal and international emergency they have risen to the challenge and are helping the country fight this pandemic with confidence.
On this occasion, here is a song that catches the same feeling of national pride. This song is from “Swades”(2004). The song is sung and composed by A R Rahman. Javed Akhtar is the lyricist. This song plays in the background, hich the picturisation shows Shahrukh Khan, playing an NRI working in NASA dying to come back to India and give back to the nation. A very moving and inspirational song indeed !

Hullo Atuldom
“Ek Hi Raasta” (1956) was a movie that was produced and directed by B.R.Chopra with story-screenplay- dialogue written by Pt. Mukhram Sharma. Its songs were penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Hemant Kumar who had Ravi as assistant and Yash Chopra was assistant to B R Chopra.
This is a movie which I saw only recently. It is popular as a movie on widow remarriage. But it dealt with a lot more.
It showed the young lady’s problems after her remarriage. It showed that the lady had a problem getting her son to accept the new man in her life as his father in spite of the new father being his own father’s boss and friend as also the little one’s. The movie tried to find the mental challenges a little boy faces when he is not told the whole truth regarding his father’s death. There are more complexities when the lady gives birth to a baby from her second marriage. The little boy leaves his foster father’s home with his infant brother in search of his father and mother. There are some tense moments (I was on the edge of my seat) before the movie comes to a close.
Daisy Irani (credited as Raja alias Roop Kumar in the movie’s titles) was simply brilliant. And who better to play the young mother than Meena Kumari.
Meena Kumari may have been typecast as a tragedy queen but there have been movies where she has shown her comic timing as in “Azaad”; “Mem Sahib”; “Miss Mary” etc. This movie too had comic moments between Sunil Dutt, Daisy Irani and Meena Kumari. There are also scenes that show her dancing capabilities.
This movie had eight songs and the blog has five of them. Two of the songs are in the same video on YouTube maybe because they follow each other in the movie with a very small dialogue in between.
| Song | Date of posting |
|---|---|
| Chali gori pee ke milan ko chali | 31 January 2009 |
| Saaanwle salone aaye din bahaar ke | 21 April 2009 |
| Bade bhaiyya laaye hain London se chhori | 11 April 2012 |
| Chamka ban kar aman ka taara | 15 august 2012 |
| Bekas ki aabroo ko neelaam kar ke chhoda | 27 November 2012 |
The above are the songs from “Ek Hi Raasta” that are on the blog. The last post was in November of 2012. Don’t know how the movie has missed being YYIIPPEEEED. This post hopes to take it one step closer.
Meena Kumari was barely 38 when she bid goodbye to this world in 1972. Unbelievable that it is 49 years ago. Paying tribute to this uniquely beautiful lady who had a sweet voice too.
Today’s song is in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar, the first part of the song being in Hemant Kumar’s voice. It shows the young mother trying to forget her pain and put her son to sleep and how both of them are missing the father.
Song-So jaa nanhe mere tu to so jaa(Ek Hi Raasta)(1956) Singers-Hemant Kumar, Lata, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Hemant Kumar
Lyrics
bhola bachpan
dukhi jawaani
lambi sooni raahon mein
nikle dard liye manzil ka
do khaamosh nigaahon mein
kaun kahe raahi ko
kitni door kahaan tak jaana hai
jeewan ki sunsaan dagar mein
kab tak thokar khaana hai
so jaa nanhe mere
tu toh so ja
tu toh so o o ja
so jaa nanhe mere
tu toh so ja
tu toh so o o ja
jaagne ko pade hai
abhi din tere
tu toh so ja
so jaa nanhe mere
tu toh so ja
tu toh so o o ja
laut kar phir na aayenge
bachpan ke din
laut kar phir na aayenge
bachpan ke din
kho ja sapnon mein
tu mere aansoo na gin
tera nanha sa dil
mera gham kyun kare
tu toh so ja
so ja nanhe mere
tu toh so ja
tu toh so o o ja aa
mera saathi chhoota
meri kismat luti
mera saathi chhoota
meri kismat luti
aansuon ki toh ab hai meri zindagi
jaagna meri taqdeer hai baaware
tu toh so ja
so ja nanhe mere
tu toh so ja
tu toh so o o ja
so ja nanhe mere
tu toh so ja
tu toh so o o ja
Bahti Ganga Kaashi teerath aaya

Today’s song is very special. It is from a totally unknown film- Sach hai-1939. Still, it is a special song. I say so because it is the First song sung by Suresh babu mane on this Blog. I know, nay, I am sure that 99 % of our readers may raise their eyebrows with this name, because they will not know who he was.
Suresh Babu Mane was an expert Classical singer in the late 30’s and 40’s decades. He was the first child of Abdul Karim Khan c- founder of the Kirana Gharana. The name of Kirana Gharana came because Abdul Karim Khan was born in village Kirana in Uttar Pradesh.
It is as if Hindustani Classical Music and Hindi Film Music have inimical or hostile relationships. Hindi film music is music for the masses, where as classical music was born in Palaces and Temples and had Royal patronage. It was understood and enjoyed by and meant only for the connoisseurs. For the common public, classical music was anethema and they could never identify themselves with it. As a result, classical music was kept at a distance by common people.
When the Film Music prospered, spread everywhere and became the people’s choice, the classical singers kept a distance with it. Most were averse to singing for films. It was considered below their dignity to sing for films. If you see the Hindi film song list, you will find that songs by the well known classical singers are not even 1 % of the total songs, so far !
I just casually found out the number of songs that some well known classical singers have sung in Hindi films and this is what I found (not an exhaustive list) –
| S No | Singer | Films | No. of songs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | D.V.Paluskar | 1 | 1 |
| 2. | Bade Ghulam ali khan | 2 | 3 |
| 3 | Bhimsen Joshi | 6 | 12 |
| 4. | Ram Marathe | 6 | 11 |
| 5. | Shobha Gurtu | 16 | 19 |
| 6. | Manik Verma | 13 | 17 |
| 7. | Hirabai Badodekar | 3 | 9 |
| 8. | Saraswati Rane | 11 | 26 |
| Total Songs | 98 | ||
From Carnatic Musicians, I only know that M.S.Subbu Lakshmi sang 17 songs in her only Hindi film ” Meera”-1947. They were all Meera Bhajans. Singer Ram Marathe’s 11 songs mentione above are only as a Child Artiste. Once he left films and dedicated himself to Classical music, he never sang again in Hindi films, as far as I know. Experts may know better. There may be some more classical singers and songs other than what is shown above as only an example, but the end result would not change in any case !
It was Naushad, who first understood this predicament and strongly advocated mixing classical music (Raagas) and Folk music for film songs. He actually did this in his films, like Baiju Bawra and some others and we can see that he honestly tried successfully too. Shankar-Jaikishen, C. Ramchandra, S.D.Burman and some other composers followed suit and we had some excellent songs based on classical music (Raagas).
No wonder, then, thast Suresh Babu Mane the Classical singer ( elder brother of Hirabai Badodekar and Saraswati Rane), gave music to only 2 Hindi films in the 30′;s period. Let us know more about Suresh Babu Mane.
According to archives in history, Tarabai Mane was the daughter of Sardar Maruti Rao Mane, one of the brothers of the Rajmata of Baroda.
During her childhood years in the early 19th century, Tarabai Mane used to learn music from Ustad Abdul Karim Khan, who was a mere court musician in Baroda. The two gradually fell in love, a feeling that was not supported by any of the family members precisely because of the gap between their status and ranks in the society. The couple had no other option but to flee Baroda to settle in Bombay city. Ustad Abdul Karim Khan and Tarabai Mane, had fled from the city of Baroda to settle in Bombay after their affair was not accepted by their extended families. However, their fleeing away from their roots did not mean the end of the road to the music career their children had. Tarabai Mane and Abdul Karim Khan married in Bombay and gave birth to five children, two sons and three daughters.
Khansaheb became very busy with his many tasks and concert tours throughout India. As a result, he could not attend to the needs and music education of his children. Compounded with some household family problems, Tarabai decided to separate from him and left him in 1918. In the beginning, she stayed in Bombay for some time and then moved to Pune with her five children.
She decided to change their Musilm names. She was the daughter of Sardar Mane of Baroda state. She used Mane and Barodekar as the surnames. Barodekar was derived from her native place whereas Mane was her surname before marrying Khansaheb. Thus Abdul Rahman became Suresh (god of music notes) babu Mane. Out of her 5 children, Champakali became Heerabai Badodekar, Sakina or Chhotu tai became Saraswati Mane and after marriage Sarawati Rane.
The original name of Suresh Babu Mane was Abdul Rahman. He was the eldest son of Ustad Abdul Kareem Khan and Tarabai Mane alias Tahirabibi, born in 1902. His pet name, in house, was ‘Babu’ and later ‘Baburao’ among his friends, and family members. His first teacher was father Kareem Khan and he also learnt music along with the first batch of disciples of the Arya Sangeet Vidyalaya founded by his parents. His voice, swar lagao and style were ditto to his father. He received talim till the age of sixteen years when his parents separated. He had by then become a teacher and concert singer. Like his father, his thumri was a speciality and listeners would name it as a ‘Maharashtri’ thumri. He was not only an expert vocalist but also could play harmonium, tabla, sarangi, tabla tarang, kashtha tarang, jal tarang, shahanai, and piano.
Tarabai opened up new music school ‘Nutan Sangeet Vidyalaya’ with Sureshbabu as a teacher along with other teachers and students. Sureshbabu also began to teach his sister Heerabai. However, they were all in their teens, and hence Tarabai persuaded and appointed uncle Abdul Wahid Khan as the teacher for children. Later on, with the help of Sawai Gandharva (Rambhau Kundgolkar) she opened up drama wing of Nutan Sangeet Vidyalaya. They staged several old and new drama and all brothers and sisters played roles. Sureshbabu and Heerabai also played roles in Hindi and Marathi films during 1930-40. Sureshbabu also gave music to 2 films, composing 25 songs. (Sant Tulsidas-34 and Sach hai-39). He acted in 2 films – Amrit Manthan-34 and Chandrasena-35 and sang 7 songs in 2 films too – Chandrasena-35 and Sach Hai-39.
In 1926, with the efforts of Bai Sunderabai, HMV recorded two songs sung by Sureshbabu – ‘Balam mora naina tere rasile’ (Khamaj thumri) and Marathi pad ‘Ram Ayodhya nagari’. This record (HMV P 8756) was issued on black label and is very very rare. In 1930, Odeon record company released two songs of Mr. N. S. Phadke from his drama ‘Yugantar’ staged by Nutan Natak Company. In 1940, Columbia company released four songs – ‘Balam nainoka jalim’ (Dadra), ‘Bajuband khul khul ja’ (Bhairvi), ‘Piya tirchee najariya’ (Khamaj thumri), and ‘Dekho Jiya bechain’ (Tilang thumri). He has sung for Marathi film ‘Devayani’ and Hindi film ‘Sach Hai’. His voice from these two films is available on the gramophone records. One record featuring ‘Chandrama ha saticha’ song from Marathi drama ‘Khalvadhu’ written by Barrister Khasgiwale is also available. He used to broadcast from All India Radio frequently. Shuddha Kalyan recording of a radio program is a collector’s item.
Sureshbabu was not successful as a performer and he did not pursue this as a career. However, he was an excellent teacher. Some of his welknown disciples are: Heerabai Barodekar, Saraswati Mane/Rane, Prabha Atre, Vasantrao Deshpande, Menkabai Shirodkar, Vitthalrao Sardeshmukh, Bhimsen Joshi, Arvind Mangrulkar, Dattopant Deshpande, Madhu Kanetkar and Gajananrao Watve. Towards the end of his career he turned to mysticism and alchemy. This had a very bad effect on his health. At the young age of just fifty years, this ‘Cursed Gandharva’ left this world, leaving behind just over one hour’s recordings. He died on 15-2-1953.
Film Sach hai-1939 was made by Saraswati Cinetone of Dadasheb Torne (who had earlier introduced Indurani also). It was directed by a veteran R.S. Chaudhari and the cast was Motilal, Rose, Jagdish Sethi, Usha and others. i do not know what was the film story, but from the advertisement of this film in 1939 issues of Film India, I guess it was a Love story which was unusual and which wins at the end.
With this song, film Sach Hai-39 makes its debut on this Blog. The lyricist makes his debut as well in the blog. Suresh Babu Mane, who had earlier made his debut in the blog as a music director, makes his debut in the blog as a singer with this song.

Lyrics
Tu chanda main chaandni ee
tu chanda main chaandni
ho tera mera
mera tera
janm janm ka saath
haath pakadkar chhod na dena
rahe haath mein haath
hamaara rahe haath mein haath
tu chanda main chaandni ee
main baaghon ki morni
main baaghon ki morni
aur tu ghata ghanghor
main sajan teri baawri
aur tu mera chitchor
main pyaasi ik boond hoon saajan
main pyaasi ik boond hoon saajan
tu meri barsaat
haath pakadkar chhod na dena
rahe haath mein haath
hamaara rahe haath mein haath
tu chanda main chaandni ee
ho o o
aan basi tu dil mein mere
ho o o
aan basi tu dil mein mere
jaise phool mein baagh
in nainon ko o
en nainon ko
hardam laagi tere daras ki pyaas
tere bina mohe kuchh na bhaaye
tere bina mohe kuchh na bhaaye
bhool gaya har baat
haath pakadkar chhod na dena
rahe haath mein haath
hamaara rahe haath mein haath
tu chanda main chaandni ee
>milke na bichhden do dil saajan
aisa ho jaaye pyar
bhool ke bhi patjhad na aaye
hardam rahe bahaar
hum tum donon jab mil baithen
hum tum dono jab mil baithhen
rahe sada phir saath
haath pakadkar chhod na dena
rahe haath mein haath
