(Shakeel) Dil-E-Nadaan (1953)

For one of the two principal heroine leads producer and director Kardar held an “All India Beauty Contest” in collaboration with Kolynos toothpaste. Rajesh Ruia, later christened as Peace Kanwal, (in the movie she is introduced as Peace Kamal) was the winner. Even though she had a meatier role and more screen time than Shyama in the movie, her career as an actress did not take off. She acted in only five movies altogether, all in supporting roles except this very first one “Dil-E-Nadaan”. Her last appearance was in “Chambla Ki Kasam” in 1980 in an insignificant role.

After an appearance in a bit role in “Aarti” in 1962, she decided to turn to painting and work with copper as a sculptor. In later years in several exhibitions in India and abroad she showed her work to selective and appreciative audience.

(Majrooh) Bhagam Bhag (1956)

The comedian-actor Bhagwan Dada, who made a fortune with "Albela" in 1951, co-wrote the story, produced, directed, and shared acting credits with Kishoreda in this film. This movie wasn’t any runaway success but ended up doing modest business. Most of this was thanks to its fine music by OP and the chemistry between the two comedians, Kishoreda and Bhagwan Dada.

Most of these songs came from videos but their audio quality is fine. However, two of the songs have some skips. The song “Aankhon Ko Mila” has noise from 1:08 to 1:11. The song “Chhod Chale” has a skip at 2:31. Except for these blemishes each of these songs is fine. I am uploading them at a lower bit rate.

I am uploading these and other songs plus some music clips in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…

Concluding Songs from "Bhagam Bhag (1956)"...

Here are the rest of the songs and some music clips from this fine album...

(Rajinder Krishan) Sangdil (1952)

This film was loosely based on the classic English novel “Jane Eyre” written by Charlotte Bronte. Over the years, the novel attracted many film makers. It was made in English many times. The first talking film appeared in 1934. But before that several silent film versions appeared in1910, two in 1914, two in 1915, 1918, 1921, and 1926. The talkie versions, besides the one made in 1934, appeared in several languages in the years 1943, 1944, 1952, 1956, 1963, 1970, two in 1972, 1978, 1996, 1997, and 2011. It was made as a Television Movie also a number of times including in the years 1956, 1973, 1978, 1983, and 2006. An English musical version was also made.

One of the major interests in this Hindi film was the pairing of Madhubala and Dilip Kumar in the lead roles. In real life they were in deeply love with each other and their pairing in this movie further fueled interest in the film. But this was only part of the story. The other part, I believe was really a major part, was its music composed by the uncompromising Sajjad Hussain (see his picture in the attachment below).

In a 20-year period as a music director Sajjad Hussain did only 14 films. This was mainly because, though recognized as a brilliant composer, he had problems getting along with people. He was one of the great players of Mandolin on which he could play Indian classical music. Many experts believe that this in itself was a tribute to his genius. Besides mandarin, he was expert in several other instruments including flute, veena, violin, piano, and sitar. One can see in the various music clips I am including here a generous use of many of these instruments.

It was Meena Kumari’s father who introduced Hussain Saab to the film world. His very first film “Dost” made in 1944 became famous because of the hit songs he composed for its heroine, Noor Jehan.

The genius he was, Sajjadji always got into trouble with his fellow workers. He bad mouthed Lata Mangeshkar who abstained singing for him. He called Kishore Kumar as “Shore Kumar” and Talat Mahmood as “Ghalat Mahmood”. Yet, his composition in this film by Talat, “Yeh Hawa”, is considered to be one of his best compositions and one of Talat’s best songs. He got into fight with Dilip Kumar during the shooting of “Sangdil” and Dilip never worked with him again, even though much of the success “Sangdil” enjoyed had to do with its music.

Hussain Saab’s entire repertoire includes less than 100 songs in 14 or so odd films. Almost all his compositions were huge hits. Composer Anil Biswas paid great tribute to him when he said that Sajjad Hussain was the only original composer Hindi cinema has known. Coming from Anilda, that was quite a compliment.

I am uploading songs from this film in two back-to-back posts. The first post contains all songs from the film. The second post contains several music clips. Here are the songs in the first post…

Music Clips From "Sangdil (1952)"...

Here are some of the music clips from this album demonstrating the versatility and expertise of its music director Sajjad Hussain Saab...

(Shailendra) Mayur Pankh (1954)

This is the second film that Kishore Sahu made in the year 1952 (the other was ‘Hamlet”). He wrote the story, screenplay, dialogues, produced, directed, and acted as the leading man of the film. He made this in colour, a rarity in early 50’s (Mehboob Khan’s “Aan” was another one that was released in 1952.) In this film also, like his “Hamlet”, one can clearly see the influence of western films on Kishore Sahu. Even though Sumitra Devi had the top billing, she does not enter into the movie until nearly half the film is over. Even Sahu himself appears after nearly a quarter of the movie. It was out and out Odette Fergusson’s film. The movie starts with Fergusson’s character getting off the plane coming to India. It ends when she was leaving India to go back to Britain. Fergusson was a British actress. Incidentally all English characters speak Hindi in the film. That too not with any forced accent.

There are some catchy tunes in the film. Shankar & Jaikishan composed the music. Lata has five solos and a duet with Asha. Incidentally the initial words of the song “Tandaana” are borrowed from Telugu. In certain type of folk songs, called “Burra Katha”, this word is used at the end each mukhda. Shankar clearly has a say in this song. He was raised in Hyderabad and on many occasions created rhythms for the songs using such catchy words from Andhra Pradesh.

Here is this and other songs from this film…

dear swarapriya
according to HFGK song TANDANA TANDANA is penned by shailaindra not HASRAT JAIPURI

(Majrooh) C.I.D. (1956)

After two successful hits of his own home production in “Aar Paar (1954)” and “Mr. & Mrs. ’55 (1955)” Guru Dutt was considering to make a comedy as his next film. During this time he heard about the Telugu super comedy hit “Missamma (1955)” (in Tamil called “Missiamma”). He, along with his close friend writer Abrar Alvi (who later directed “Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam” in 1962) decided to take a trip to Hyderabad to see the movie. When they arrived in Hyderabad, they were invited to the silver jubilee celebrations of the Telugu hit “Rojulu Maarayi”, also released in 1955. There he was introduced to Waheeda Rehman who appeared briefly in the movie for a dance number. Impressed with her looks and her knowledge of Urdu, Guru invited her to come to Bombay to act in Hindi films. Waheeda refused.

Guru and Alvi Saab saw “Missamma”. Neither was impressed with the film and returned back to Bombay. Guru then started making serious plans to make “Pyaasa”. With preparations for “Pyaasa” going on steadily, he decided make “C.I.D.”. He asked his friend and assistant director to several of his films, Raj Khosla, to direct the movie. Raj, a close friend of Dev Anand, came to Bombay to pursue a career as a playback singer. It was Dev who introduced Raj to Guru and requested him to give Raj a job until he tests out as a singer. Guru, who was also a close friend of Dev, took Raj under his wings. (Incidentally, “Missamma” was later made in Hindi as “Miss Mary” in 1957 by the AVM Studios. It became a hit.)

Raj was looking for a second girl for “C.I.D.” and approached Guru for suggestions. Guru remembered Waheeda and contacted her to come over to Mumbai to sign a multiple movie contract with him. Waheeda finally yielded to the offer.

“C.I.D.” was the second directorial venture for Raj. His earlier film “Milap”, also made with Dev in the lead, released in 1955 was a flop. “C.I.D.” with its sensational music became a super hit. Waheeda, who made her debut with this film, was stunning. Both Waheeda and Raj never looked back in their respective long and illustrious careers, even though Khosla fell on bad times in the end.

One of the major contributors to the success of the movie was its fantastic music composed by O.P. Nayyar. There were only six songs in the film, but they were all chartbusters. Even today every song is dearly remembered. The movie has that perennial tribute to Mumbai, the beautiful duet by Geetaji and Rafi Saab, "Yeh Bombai Meri Jaan". It has that often quoted song by Shamshad Begum, "Kahin Pe Nigaahen". It also has that seductively intoxicating song by Geetaji, "Jaata Kahaan Hai". It also has one of those very complicatedly composed but such immensely pleasing song, "Leke Pehla Pehla Pyaar". O.P. in this movie was at the top of his form and simply at his spectacular best.

I am uploading these songs, some music clips, and instrumentals in three back-to-back posts. The first post contains all songs from the film from an original soundtrack album. The second post has some music clips ripped from a DVD. The third and the final post contains some instrumentals of the songs.

(Rajinder Krishan) Saqi (1952)

This movie is another rehash of the Arabian Nights fable “Aladdin & the Wonderful Lamp”. From the opening sequence to the end of the movie Prem Nath most of the time used a whip to get the best of the enemy and occasionally used a sword. He played a commoner who was in love with the princess, played by Madhubala. Interestingly this similar story was made in Telugu the very same year. The film was “Patala Bhairavi”. It was later dubbed into Hindi in 1953. It was also remade much later in Hindi with Jeetendra in 1985. The only difference in the “Bhairavi” movies from Aladdin story is that the magic lamp is replaced by a magic statuette. In “Saqi” it is the magic lamp. The good natured genie was played by the comedian actor Gope. Interestingly, in Walt Disney’s animated musical fantasy classic, “Aladdin”, made in 1992, the genie’s was given by the famous comedian actor Robin Williams.

C. Ramchandra composed the music for the film. A couple of songs are pretty good. But it was the background music that is the real highlight of the film to keep up with the antics of the hero. I have several music clips to prove this point.

(Shailendra) Naukri (1954)

This Bimalda's film deals with unemployment. Remember the movie was made in 1954. Seems like it could have been made recently as the subject is still topical. The song "Chhota Sa Ghar" was very popular. Interestingly this song is based on a song in Bengali sung by Kishoreda, "Hey Lo Baadal". It was composed by Chitta Roy and lyrics were written by Gaouriprasanna Majumdar. I am uploading that song here as a reference.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee was the editor of the film.

Here are the songs from this film...

(Shakeel) Laila Majnu (1953)

1953 was the year the late Shammi Kapoor made his debut as a leading man. He was in not one, or two, but five movies that year. These included “Jeevan Jyoti”, “Khoj”, “Laila Majnu”, “Rail Ka Dibba”, and “Thokar”. Of these “Thokar” was the first movie released. For this reason this is generally considered as his debut film.

The story of “Laila Majnu” has been told on the Indian celluloid screens umpteen number of times. It was made in many languages too. Interestingly, Shammi’s nephew, Rishi Kapoor, later appeared in a hit musical version of this same story. Rishi’s “Laila Majnu” was released in 1976, 23 years after Shammi’s.

This movie boasts a whole bunch of songs. It has two music directors in Ghuma Mohammad and Sardar Malik. The result is that some of the songs are very nice. I am uploading these and some music clips in two back-to-back posts. Here is the first set of songs…
