Hi music lovers! Khawaja Khurshid Anwar was one of the greatest music directors of Indo-Pak subcontinent. I am starting this thread to discuss his music. Please share your favorite songs, articles and pictures as well. And also feel free to request the songs. Following is a short introduction of the maestro Khurshid Anwar: Khurshid Anwar was born in 1912. He had a graduate degree in philosophy and even passed an Indian Civil Services exam. However, he abandoned them all to pursue music. Having been brought up in a rather well to do family, he had listened to and interacted with some prominent musicians in Lahore. In the late thirties, he worked as a producer of music programmes on All India Radio. His first film as music director was the Punjabi, 'Kurmai' (1941). The first Hindi film he worked on was 'Ishaara' (1943). Khurshid Anwar did less films than many of his contemporaries, only nine in Bombay and nineteen in Lahore. However, most of these films were hits, making him one of the important music directors around the time of Independence. His music was very influenced by classical as well as folk sounds that he had picked up when he had lived with his grandfather in Haryana. (Courtesy: www.3to6.com) |

I am starting my uploads with a rare gem from film ‘Pagdandi’ (1941). It was requested by Mahesh & Mohd Bhai at Asha forum. According to Urzung Shahb, the singer of this song is not Asha Bhosley but another singer named Asha. (May be Irfan Sahib could shed more light).

Irfansaab,
I have a request and thot this is the best place to present it. I remember my friend Ritu from RMIM telling me about the documentary U did on Khwajasaab which was aired at the RMIM meet a few years back. Would it be possible for U to do something similar--but audio--on HF Radio for us fans. A little about his life and passion for music and most famous songs, some personal anecdotes. It would be a real treat for all of us. A one and a half hour programme maybe. Even when we played the Noor Jehan programme the other day there for a few young members who had never heard his music till then and became instant fans. Please do consider this request. Thanks. Priya |

Priya Thanks much Priya ji, Inaam and all the subscibers. Priya ji, it was not a documentary which I showed at Denver meet (2002) of RMIM. It is the Obituary programme of PTV, which is now available at Dr. Surjit's w/site in video as well as in audio form. I also showed some parts of Rim Jhim programme of PTV which was presented in june-nov 1985 in which practically all the singers presented tribute to Khurshid Anwar by singing his songs. Later this was realsed by Shalimar Recording Co. Although I am 'two finger typist', but still always available in this and other forums. Thanks again. Regards, Irfan |
