Hindi movie music is enriched by a large number of artists. In many cases, these artists are known more by their work, rather than by their names. For instance, the name Sudhir Phadke may not ring many bells, especially with the younger generation, but just make them listen to songs like Din hai suhaana aaj pahli taarikh hai(Pahli taarikh) (1954) and Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan)(1961).
These two immortal compositions are the creations of none other than Sudhir Phadke whose birth anniversary falls on 25 july.

In Hindi movies, most songs are picturised on the lead actors. But then there are certain songs which are either background songs or songs picturised on lesser actors. These songs are often sung by part time singers who are better known for some other activities in movies. For instance, these singers may be better known as lyricists or music directors.

In Hindi movies, mujra songs are quite common, especially in Hindi movies of 1950s to 1970s. When one looks at the lyrics of these mujra songs, one finds that the lady, who is supposedly from the poorer and lesser educated section of society, uses quite sophisticated and high sounding words and highly evolved thoughts in her mujra songs.

“Aage Badho” (1947) is a forgotten movie from the past. It had Dev Anand, Khursheed,Vasant Thengdi and Kusum Deshpande in lead roles. Chances are, other names were the lead actors and Dev Anand, then a new comer could be a lesser actor in this movie.

I have posted a few “lullaby” songs in this blog, where the mother sings lullabies to her young one. But that is not the only kind of songs that Bollywood mothers sing to their children.

For those who lived in India during 1960s and 1970s, and who listened to radio Ceylon every morning, 7-30 to 8 AM was the time for old songs. Most people (masses) including kids like me scoffed at these old songs and waited for 8 AM. Last song of that programme was by K L Sehgal, and we would know that the “aaphi ke geet” programme, where new songs were played was just round the corner. All over the country, listeners, including the farmaish senders from Jhumri Tilaiyya and elsewhere would start paying more attention.
There was one exception during this time slot between 7-30 to 8 AM though, and that would arrive on the first day of every new month. This was a song of Kishore Kumar that would go ” din hai suhana aj pahli tarikh hai”. Even those who could not stand old songs would approve of this song. It was the only song of that programme that no one ever found boring or grumbled against.
