Today’s song is from the film Nek Parvin-1946. It was produced under the banner of D.R.D.Productions – Bombay. This banner was floated by D.R.D. Wadia, a cousin of the owners of “Wadia Movietone” – J.B.H. and Homi Wadia. He was professionally a Barrister from London, but seeing the success of his cousins and having the blood of a business clan, he too entered film production. However, after producing just 4 films (Ishara-43, Aina-44, Nek Parvin-46 and Pati Sewa-47), he closed this business and concentrated on his legal profession.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————

I joined this blog as a ‘lyrics contributor’ in September’2012 and I began by sharing lyrics of songs from the seventies to pre-eighties. These songs were the songs those were ‘nostalgic’ for me and ‘songs that brings back memories’ for me. Slowly and gradually during my daily browsing I started coming across many golden oldies that I was not aware of or the songs that I had never listened before. I was also under the impression the songs possessed by me on the cassettes were the old songs that were available because I was not aware of the total number of songs created till then. It was only after I came in contact with this blog that I became aware of the number of songs created. That put things in perspective for me and I realised where my collection of 400-500 cassettes stood vis a vis that total number of HFM songs.

Today’s song is from the film Rai Saheb-1942.

How many of us really know anything about the title ” Rai Saheb” ? I am sure most people may not know.

When the British were ruling a larger part of the world, they had a system of honouring special people for their Loyalty towards the Raj, or for those who had done some great work, those who worked for removing the social ills etc etc. To do this, these people were given special Titles. The British Royalty used to bestow honourable titles for extraordinary work in its Empire, like OBE (Order of British Empire), CBE,CSI and similar titles. Usually such titles used to be given to Royal people of its Empire like Kings, Rajahs, Maharajas etc etc. It was a great honour.

Yearwise discussion of Lata Mangeshkar songs in HFM: Part II: 1948-1949
——————————————————————————————
This series was started last Monday (28 September 2020), which was Lata Mangeshkar’s 91st birthday. The series has the ambitious aim of providing statistics of all HFM songs sung by Lata Mangeshkar-Year by year.

The first part of the series covered Lata Maneshkar HFM songs of 1947 and 1948. That was easy, seeing that the total number of HFM songs sung by her in these two years added upto just nine songs.

1948 saw a change in fortune for her. This time she got to sing a decent number of songs from a decent number of movies.

Today’s song is from the film Aabshaar aka Waterfall-1953.

To me, songs from the fifty’s decade work like a breeze of fresh air or a cup of hot filter coffee. Discussing songs from the 30s and the 40s continuously gives me a feeling of being a very old man which, actually, I am ! But then, being so and feeling so, are two different things. Toying with a song from the 50s takes me back to my college days. If the song is of Kishore, Sugar gets added to the Coffee further.
