Today’s song is from the film Ratnavali-1945. It was neither a Flop nor a Hit film. Despite the prediction of the film magazine Film India about its total failure, it did recover its cost and made a good profit also. Although it was labelled as a ‘Social Film’, by the HFGK, it was actually a Costume film, based on a King, Queens and Vazier type story.

The film was made by Amar Pictures, Bombay. It was directed by Virendra Desai, son of the owner-Chimanlal Desai and the music was by Pt. Govind Ram- one of the most respected senior Music Directors of those times. Many younger composers treated him as their Idol. C.Ramchandra was one of such composers. The cast of the film included Surendra, Ratnamala, Maya Banerjee, Usha mantri, Leela Mishra, K.N.Singh, Ansari and others.

Today’s song is from the film Usha Kiran-1952.

In the month of September-2014, I had started a series on this Blog, titled “songs from Artists’ name films”. It ran from 18-9-2014 to 8-10-2014. I covered 10 films like Madhubala-1950, Nargis-1946, Veena-1948, Renuka-1947, Madhuri-1932, Hurricane hansa-1937, Zubeida-2001, Kamla-1946 and Asha-1948. When I came to the 10th and the last film Usha Kiran-1952, I realised that actress Usha Kiran was not in the cast of that film. In all other films, then discussed, the titled actress was in its cast. I was shocked. Nevertheless, I wrote the article and sent it for posting. But then on, I became alert and checked all the films selected for any series, fully and carefully.

Today’s song is from the film Pagle-1950.

The film was made by Markari Productions, Bombay. It was directed by Pratima Dasgupta. The music director was V.G.Bhatkar aka Snehal Bhatkar. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Madhuri, Jahagirdar, Pratima Devi, Mubarak, David, Agha, Cuckoo and some others. I have neither seen this film nor I could get my hands on its story, but I believe this was a dual story of a failed love and true love pair.

In this post I once again present a song from the year 1947. Ever since I became aware that in this year 1947 there were maximum number of movies released in a single year, and this record was only broken in the year 1985 (reference Shri Arunkumar ji’s post on the blog) I have become curious to go through the songs of 1947. And also try to bring more from 1947 on the blog.

Recently I have written a few posts for songs of films Laila Majnu(1945) and Laila Majnu(1953). In the past also, now that I checked, I have written posts for 5 songs of Laila Majnu(1976).

Ab agar hamse khudaayi bhi khafa ho jaaye
Barbaad e muhabbat ki dua saath liye jaa
Is reshmi paazeb ki jhankaar ke sadqe
Likh kar tera naam zameen par
Ye deewaane ki zidd hai

I have revisited the above posts, just to confirm if I have written my real thoughts on these legends of undying love, which end in tragedy and death. Obviously this sort of love is also unfruitful. The romanticism and glorification of this type of folk love stories and legends has no basis in truth or even historical facts.

When we talk of Partition and Migration of artistes from India to Pakistan and vice versa, only the famous and the well known names are considered. There were hundreds of small time less known artists, viz. actors, directors, lyricists, composers, instrument players, chorus singers, technicians etc who also had migrated for various reasons. The other day I was reading a book, ” Who’s who: Music in Pakistan ” written by A.Shaikh and M.Shaikh. In this book I found several names of singers, composers, lyricists and above all instrument players, who shifted to Pakistan.

SONGS FROM ARTISTE NAME FILMS….Song No. 4
————————————————

Today’s song is from the film Usha kiran-1952. It was a film made by Malwa productions Bombay and the production of the film and its supervision was by the nawab of Kurval from Uttar Pradesh. Those days, many kings and Nawabs got interested in making films. For some of them, the added attraction was the film’s Heroine. Some state chiefs, however,genuinely helped and encouraged Cinema as an art form. One such example was the Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur State.
