#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————
The song in this post is from an eighty-four year old movie ‘Shobha-1942’. Music for this movie was composed by Vasant Desai. When I saw that only one song from this movie have been posted on this blog so far, it piqued my interest to look for other songs from this movie. The other reason is the composer i.e. Vasant Desai. I love his music and there are many songs composed by him which I like very much. So, today I am presenting the second song from this movie ‘Shobha-1942’.
This movie ‘Shobha-1942’ was directed by Kumarsen Samarth for ‘Wadia Movietone, Bombay’. It was a ‘social movie’. The cast of this movie had Shobhna Samarth, Shahu Modak, Kusum Deshpande, Karan Deewan, Sulochana Chatterjee, Vimal Sardesai, David, Jaal Khambhata, Putlibai, Master Chhotu and others.
‘Shobha-1942’ has six songs as listed in Geet Kosh Vol-II (1941-1950). Pandit Indra is the lyricist for all the six songs. In Geet Kosh the name of playback singers for this movie are mentioned as Shobhna Samarth, Shahu Modak, and Miss Kalyani. However while presenting the first song from this movie on the blog our inhouse encylopeadia Shree Arunkumar jee has mentioned that the songs mentioned as sung by Shobhna Samarth are in fact in the voice of Saraswati Rane. Here is what he has mentioned in the post with the song ‘uhoon-uhoon-shikaari-na-khel’…
Film Shobha was a Wadia Movietone presentation. It was directed by Kumarsen Samarth, husband of Shobhana Samarth. The Lyricist was Indra and the composer was Vasant Desai. The film had 6 songs. With today’s song, film Shobha is making a Debut here. As per HFGK, 3 songs are sung by Shobhana Samarth, because on the record, her name is printed, but Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji has confirmed that these songs are sung by Saraswati Rane. In the discography of Saraswati Rane also these songs feature.
(Shree Arunkumar jee has also gave the story of this movie in his post above. However I am not reproducing that here. Readers can read this interesting post here )
Today we are going to listen to the second song from this movie which is in the voice of Miss Kalyani. It is a song of ‘after effects or side effects of falling in love’ :). Lyrics are by Pandit Indra Chandra and music is composed by the great composer Vasant Desai.
Let us listen to this song now …
Song-Wo dil mein humko yaad karen (Shobha)(1942) Singer-Miss Kalyani, Lyricist-Pt Indra Chandra, MD-Vasant Desai
Lyrics
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
ham roothhen to wo paanv paden
ham roothhen to wo paanv paden
wo roothhen to ham sharmaayen
wo roothhen to ham sharmaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen
dil behlaane ke mauke hain
milne ke meethhe mausam hain
dil behlaane ke mauke hain
milne ke meethhe mausam hain
hamko din mein sapne aayen
ae ae ae
hey hey hey
hamko din mein sapne aayen
aur sapnon mein wo chhaa jaayen
wo dil mein hamko yaad karein
munh pher pher ham muskaayen

Hullo Atuldom
Wishing all the followers of the blog a Happy Dassehra. Happy Vijayadashmi. A day which is the culmination of the Sharada Navaratri. Navaratri means nine nights & Vijayadashmi is the 10th day when all the festivities reach a finale.
Much of North India would have had Raam-Leela as part of the festivities & we will witness Ravan-Dahan on the 10th day.
In West India we have the Devi installed in the form of Ambemaa with Aarthis, Garba & Dandiya forming the part of celebrations. Recently, I learnt that the Dandiya-sticks are representative of the weapons that were used by Ambemaa (Durga Maa) in her battle against the Rakshasaa “Mahishasura”.

We in this blog have achieved several milestones, but this milestone is something in its own league. Today we are celebrating a humongous individual milestone. With this post, Lata Mangeshkar reaches 4000 songs as a playback singer in this blog !
More than one decade ago, She had touched 1000 songs in the blog as the blog itself touched 3000 songs. Imagine, today she alone touches 4000 songs in the blog.
I had run a series on Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (yearwise) in the blog. That series, which ran every monday for 63 weeks (viz for one year and three months). In that series we had an indepth look at the list of songs that Lata Mangeshkar had sung in Hindi movies.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film ‘Subhadra’-1946.
The genre of Mythological films was one of the most favourite one of the filmmakers from the day filmmaking started in India. If you remember, even the first ever silent film made by Dadasaheb Phalke- Raja harishchandra-1913 – was based on King Harishchandra’s story from the Vishnu Puran. This was because the Indian culture was such that irrespective of the caste and creed, everyone liked to see these stories which they heard from several generations. In those years, the Hindu population of India was 85 % ( as per 1921 Census). Steadily, these types of films became less and less and by 1990 onwards, as far as I know, there were no Mythological films worth mentioning.

Today’s song is from a film which most readers may not be aware of. The film is Hindustan hamara-1950.
But then there are many such films which come and go, without a flutter. so, not surprised that you don’t remember any such film. But have you heard the name of Paul Zils ? No / O.K. Last chance now. Have you ever heard the name of Walter Kauffman ? No ?
