#Songs Composed by Madan Mohan

[bollywoodirect]

Tribute to Saraswati Devi, the first woman music director in Hindi films, on her 44th death anniversary (09/08/1980).

Born in a Parsi family in 1912, Saraswati Devi was a trained classical singer and rose to become India’s first woman music director of Bollywood.

A musical rage in the 30s and early 40s, Saraswati Devi's musical career was mostly confined to films produced by Bombay Talkies. Starting with 'Jawani Ki Hawa' in 1935, she went on to compose highly popular music for hit films like Achhut Kanya, Kangan, Bandhan and jhoola.

She was born as Khursheed Manchersher Minocher – Homji.

She changed her name to escape the wrath of the conservative elements of her community as they could never stand that a lady from their clan would enter the film world.

Once when at a gathering the Bombay Talkies owner Himanshu Rai heard her, he instantly invited her to join his concern as a music director. She was reluctant at first, not knowing how she would adjust herself to the needs of the film industry. But finally she accepted the offer.

She was the first woman music director no doubt. But the biggest challenge she faced was to groom non-singers into singers. That was a very, very big challenge in view of the competition from New Theatres as she didn’t have a Saigal or a Kanan to sing her compositions. That is why one should say that she had a formidable task to perform unlike her counterparts like R.C.Boral, Tamir Baran and others in Calcutta.

The biggest contribution by Saraswati Devi, therefore, was to produce hit songs through the lips of non-singers like Ashok Kumar, Devika Rani and Leela Chitnis.. Right from Achchut Kanya till Jhoola, Saraswati Devi went on rampage, so to speak, producing one hit after another. Leela Chitnis could sing hit songs like, ‘Meera ke jeevan ki sooni parri re sitar’ (Kangan), ‘Man bhavan lo sawan aya re’(Bandhan) and ‘Jhoole ke sang jhoolo jhoolo mere man’.(Jhoola) Imagine Saraswati Devi producing a golden jubilee hit in the voices of Ashok Kumar and Devika Rani in film ‘Achhut Kanya’ (a film that Nehru saw and appreciated)-‘Main ban ki chirriya ban ke ban ban bolun re’. The biggest hit by her was the marching song of Bandhan, ‘Chal chal re nau jawan’ sung in solo by Ashok Kumar, sung in chorus by Ashok Kumar and sung as a duet by him with Leela Chitnis. She used a non-singer like Sneh Prabha to sing the Puner Milan song, ‘Nacho nacho pyare man ke mor’. The male singer she had was Arun Kumar, who sung for Kishore Sahu in Punermilan, for Mumtaz Ali in ‘Jhoola’ (Main to Dilli se dulhan laya re he babuji) and others. Incidentally, it was she who gave break to Kavi Pradeep as a singer though he was writing lyrics for the concern since 1939 from film ‘Kangan’. She first used him in that immortal song of ‘Bandhan’ which is played in the back ground: ‘Piyu piyu bol praan papeehe piyu piyu bol’ Pradeep did sing subsequently some big hits after leaving Bombay Talkies. But in ‘Jhoola’ he has left behind a memorable song too tuned by Saraswati Devi: ‘Mere bichade hue saathi teri yaad sataye, baar baar teri chavi aye birha agan jaraae’

After she left Bombay Talkies, she shot into limelight again in the early fifties when she tuned two non-film ghazals for Habib Wali Mohammad. These were: ‘Lagta nahin hai dil mera ujjarre dayar mein’ and ‘Yeh na thi hamari kismet ke visaal-e-yaar hota’. When you listen to her compositions, specially the indigenously-flavored background music, you are transported into the environment of the India of the early 20th century.

During the later years of her life, the bad and selfish film world turned apathetic towards the doyenne. Not even a single person visited her when she fractured her hip bone after falling from a private bus. The legendary singer and India’s first female music director left for a better world in 1980 with no one to mourn her death. Even the media did not find her worthy of an obituary.

[good-realtor-bad-realtor-dynamic]

First time getting tagged in a game chain thingy! A few days ago, I got tagged to share the top 5 songs I'm actively listening to by @malewifemanhunter in this post. Cheers, this is exciting <3

"Planet Schmanet Janet" by Tim Curry and Richard O'Brien from the film adaptation The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

"Lady Fantasy - Medley" by Camel (album: Mirage)

"Tudo O Que Você Podia Ser" by Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges (album: Clube Da Esquina)

"Spring Break Anthem" by The Lonely Island

I tend to listen by album, not songs or playlists, and I'm not loyal to one single platform like Spotify, so this was a whole memory exercise for me to recall what I've been listening to. It's no fun having 5 songs from the same album here, so I went through my history and tried to spread this out as best I could.

Must list honourable mentions because I physically can't do Top 5s:

"Marquee Moon" by Television (album: Marquee Moon)

"Rang Aur Noor Ki Baraat Kise Pesh Karoon" performed by Mohammed Rafi, written by Sahir Ludhianvi and composed by Madan Mohan from the film Gazal (1963)

"Vamos" by Pixies (album: Surfer Rosa)

Tagging @leather-locklear @mcelhenneyarms @literatigeek @charmac @misterblik, sorry if you've already done this! I don't remember who has and who hasn't, and I'm not bothering to check.

Prahlad drama

A folk drama based in Ganjam district

Rahlad Natak or Prahallad Natak (also known as Raja Nat, Raja Natak) [1] is a traditional play performed in Ganjam district. It contains both classical and secular parts. In this play, Narasimha's story is conveyed through songwriting. Its main text is named after King Ramakrishna Chhotarai. Although the lyrics of Prahlad's play are based on the name of Ramakrishna, it has been accepted by researchers to be the poet Gaurahari Parichha. Later, other kings of Ganjam, such as Surangi Raja Kishore Chandra Harichandan Jagaddev Rai, Tarla Raja Ramchandra Shurdeo, Dharakot Raja Madan Mohan Singhdev and Padmanabh Narayan Dev of Paralakhemundi, wrote Prahladnatak.

The play features twenty male characters and five female characters. One of them, a character named Gahak, enters the stage and explains the event. This character is consistent with the formula found in Sanskrit and Greek dramas. Among the characters are Prahlad, Hiranyakashipu, Lilavati, Shukracharya, Mantri, Gahak, Chandmark, Ganesha, Saraswati, Brahma, Indra, Dwari, Charagan, Asuragan, Balakan, Narad, Gajakarna, Sapua, Mahuntas, etc.

Presentation--

Stage

It is well known for its special stage productions used in Prahlad's play. No theater is required for acting. The play is usually performed on the outskirts of the village or in an open area. A staircase with a staircase in front is installed. It has about 4 steps. In rural languages, the stage with this step is called the stage. The floor in front of the stage is used for dancing and acting. It is said that the seven saints of Hiranyakashipur are represented by the seven steps of the Adhipatya Manchar. The stage is mainly thought of as the court of Hiranyakashipur. The pottery minister, the queen, etc., sit on the top of the stage on either side of Hiranyakashipur. Musicians and drummers sit on either side of the stage.

Musical instrument--

The main instrument in Prahlad's play is the harp. It is a kind of air-conditioned musical instrument. The introductory song gives an early start to the song. At the same time, harmonies, guinea pigs, and harmonies are used today. There are usually two percussionists and some guinea and jazz musicians. The lead singer performs most of the songs, playing the harmonium, and the pianists assist him in the singing.

Music-- Many of the songs are composed in the Prahlad play written by King Ramakrishna Chhotarai. The rhythm and rhythm of each song are directed. The music method is entirely scriptural based on Utkaliya or Odissi music. Not all of Prahlad's plays are in the folk music category. The best proof of the classicality of Odissi music is the song of this Prahlad play. The ragas used are - Bhairavi, Sri, Kalyani, Saberi, Khamach, Jhinjoti, Anandbhairavi, Purikalyani, Marua, Shankaravaran, Nadaramakriya, Sehana, Nata, Pantavaradi, Todi, Ghantarab, Kamodi, Sroha, Arupu, Sreepha, Sreepta, Regu, Yamunakalyani, Kedargauda, ​​Desi Khamach, Mukhari, Desh, Nabaroj, Todi Punnag etc. The ropes used were - eight, one, etc. and figurines. Many of these rages and rhythms are not available in other forms than Odissi music.

Dance-- Prahlad's dance demeanor is mainly violent. Lasya dance is short. The dance back and forth on the Hiranyakashipur stage is especially popular. Prahlad also dances in the play with a quick footsteps, showing a cycle of zeroes. Prahladnatak's eminent researcher Vishwabihari Khadanga divides the violent dance into six parts and shows that it is mentioned in various plays. Folk dance styles such as Chandmark and Shabar Shabaruni are also part of it. Artist-- One of the oldest gurus is the Durga Das dynasty of Ichchapuram. He is followed by Laxman Shatapathi, Bankini Shatapathi, Raghunath Shatapathi, Trinath Pradhan, Ganga Dora, Simanchal Patra, Kalia Kamp, Krishna Kansari and Ram Badatya. Khali Behera and Simanchal Patra are known for their role in Hiranyakashipu. In the next generation, Vrindavan Jena, Rajendra Patra, Gokulananda Pradhan, Santosh Rana and others are famous. In Ganjam's Kukudakhandi, Kulad, Kabisuryanagar, Bhanjanagar, Padmanabhapur and other areas, there are still about 40 Rajanatak teams or capital.

Change-- During the performance of Prahlad's play, Nrsingh's body is worshiped with a venerated face, while Nrsingh's body is sometimes blackened. When it comes down to it, the actor's body radiates incredible energy, and it takes between ten and twenty people to maintain it. Failure to do so, he becomes an angry destroyer like Narsingh. It is alleged that the ambassador provided the information to the complainant. Iron or brass nails are no longer used in Prahlad's play since the incident. Previously, most of Prahlad's sixteen sentences were actually held. Prahlad's character was adept at all these arts and performed them. Snake bites, for example, were used to poison real snakes. In modern times that practice has been discontinued.
