(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…
