तुझको मिल जाएँगे

Sixth and last in hindigeetmala's listing for the film, fourth at myswar. The title is a grammatical fragment: a verb phrase in the plural future with its subject missing, so that the thing being promised has dropped out of the record along with everything else. hindigeetmala's census of 1945 titles carries it in a second spelling, 'Tujhko Mil Jayenge', which is the same song and not a seventh track.

Nothing about how this song actually sounded can be stated. No recording is in circulation — hindigeetmala's page for the track carries no audio and no video — and the score's authorship is itself unsettled: Wikipedia's HFGK-derived index of 1945 Hindi films gives the film's music to the director Debaki Bose himself, while Moviebuff credits Anupam Ghatak, the Bengali composer who co-scored Champa the same year. What is documented is the setting the song was made in. This was a Hindi picture produced in Calcutta in 1945, at Indrapuri Productions, in the years when Bose was working outside New Theatres, the studio that had made his name; myswar's listing for the album names Columbia Records as the label the songs were issued on. Beyond that the record is silent, and this entry does not fill the silence in.

What survives is a half-sentence, and its grammar carries more than it looks. 'Tujhko mil jaayenge' is in the plural, so whatever was promised was more than one thing; and 'mil jaana' rather than 'dena' means the things arrive of themselves rather than being handed over — the idiom of something found, granted or come by, not given. Film lyrics of the period used the construction for both consolation and threat, since a promise of what will come to you can cut either way. Without the noun, and without a recording, the direction is unrecoverable, and this entry does not choose one.

Swarg Se Sundar Desh Hamara was a Hindi social drama produced in Calcutta in 1945 and directed by Debaki Bose — the New Theatres veteran who had left that studio in 1941 and by 1945 was working on his own. Wikipedia's HFGK-derived index of the year's Hindi films classes it as a Social and names three players, Biman Bannerjee, Kamal Mitra and Padma Devi; myswar and Moviebuff name two of the three and give the production house as Indrapuri Productions. No print of the film is known to survive and no synopsis appears in the standard indexes, so what the songs were written for — who sang them on screen, at what point, in what situation — is not recorded anywhere reachable. This entry states the song's place in the catalogue and stops there.

The song survives as a title and nothing more. It has a page at hindigeetmala, which states that no audio and no video is available for it, and a line in myswar's album listing, which names Columbia Records as the label the film's songs were issued on. The archival blogs that have recovered so much of 1940s Hindi film music — Songs of Yore, Atul's Song A Day — have not written about this film. No cover, remake, award or chart placing is claimed for it here, because none is documented. That absence is itself the point worth recording: it is the ordinary fate of the Calcutta-made Hindi films of the late 1940s, and the catalogue line is now most of what is left of the song.
