In celebration of my connection with the @master_ghulamhaider Instagram account recently (run by his grandson) I’m sharing this beautiful melody from the #Pakistani film Beqarar (1950), the first full film that he composed music for in #Pakistan. He did compose for Shahida (1949) but G. A. Chishti also composed some songs for that film.
Where do I even begin describing the contribution that #MasterGhulamHaider made to #Indian and #Pakistani film music. #MadamNoorJehan, #LataMangeshkar, #ShamshadBegum, #SurinderKaur all either were introduced to the film industry by him or had their first major hits with his compositions.
He started composing for films as early as 1935 brought a new style of music and got his first breakthrough with Gul Bakawli (1939) which had a few songs sung by Madam Noor Jehan as a child star. He changed the face of Indian Film Music when he composed for Khazanchi (1941) with super hit songs by Shamshad Begum. Music Directors of the 1930s mostly composed film songs set in classical ragas, whereas the songs of Khazanchi were more open and refreshing.
After 1947 he migrated to Pakistan and settled in Lahore. He died very prematurely at the age of 45, just a few days after his last film Gulnar (1953) which had Madam Noor Jehan as the lead. He left behind his young children and young wife Umra Zia Begum, who was a successful and accomplished singer in her own right, but left the industry after marriage.
