The film was made by Bombay Talkies. It was directed by Franz Osten. The music was by Saraswati Devi and the Lyricist was J.S.Casshyap. The film was Debut film for the lead actor Kishore Sahu and actress Renuka Devi. The cast included Devika Rani, Kishore Sahu, Mumtaz Ali, Maya Devi, Chandraprabha (sister of Saraswati Devi), Renuka Devi, Prithviraj Kapoor and many others.
In the initial era of Talkie films, Calcutta’s New Theatres and Poona’s Prabhat were the most well known filmmakers. They used to make films on social issues. Particularly, Prabhat was famous for keeping their films centred on the Reform themes like,Dowry, Child Marriage, Second Marriage, Cast difference etc.From the mid 30s one more company came into limelight and that was Bombay Talkies- founded by Himanshu Rai and Devika Rani. They also followed the trend and films on social issues like Untouchability, illiteracy etc were made.

Today’s song is from a social film Azad-1940.
The film was made by Bombay Talkies. Bombay Talkies was one of the premiere production companies of India in those times. Its films became very popular and the music was lapped up by the audience. There were other equally famous production houses like Prabhat Films,Ranjit studios and New Theatres of Calcutta, all churning out blockbusters. While Ranjit showed how to make money, Bombay Talkies added prestige to films.
Language in Hindi films was a great issue in those times and it is here that Bombay Talkies won hands down ! Prabhat films had its Hindi totally influenced by Marathi ( and hence was popular in western India), and New Theatres films had their Hindi straight lifted from books of Hindi Prachar Sabha- too pure ! It was only Bombay Talkies films which used the colloquial language of India- easily understood by the masses and acceptable to all classes equally. While Prabhat called it “Preet” , and New Theatres said ” Prem”, Bombay Talkies used the words like ” Pyar” and “Muhabbat” – a mix of Urdu and Hindi ( called Hindustani). Prabhat dialogues were too formal, while New Theatres’ were highly literary and Bombay Talkies used day to day language understood easily over the length and breadth of India.

In Hindi films, a lori refers to a lullaby song sung within the story to soothe a child or express tender emotions such as maternal love, longing, protection, or sacrifice. These songs became a recognizable musical motif in Hindi cinema, especially from the 1940s through the 1980s, when film narratives often included strong family and motherhood themes.

Hullo Atuldom
Wishing all the followers of the blog a Happy Dassehra. Happy Vijayadashmi. A day which is the culmination of the Sharada Navaratri. Navaratri means nine nights & Vijayadashmi is the 10th day when all the festivities reach a finale.
Much of North India would have had Raam-Leela as part of the festivities & we will witness Ravan-Dahan on the 10th day.
In West India we have the Devi installed in the form of Ambemaa with Aarthis, Garba & Dandiya forming the part of celebrations. Recently, I learnt that the Dandiya-sticks are representative of the weapons that were used by Ambemaa (Durga Maa) in her battle against the Rakshasaa “Mahishasura”.

2025 marks the 51st year in the entertainment industry for Shabana Azmi, not counting films that she may have been associated with during her training at FTII. Her ‘Parinay’ released on 1st January 1974; her debut film Shyam Benegal’s “Ankur’ is also a 1974 film. The last film starring Shabana Azmi came in 2023, actually there were two ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ & ‘Ghoomer’- I have seen both and as usual Shabana Azmi (the actor) cannot be missed. There is an upcoming film ‘Lahore 1947’ set against the backdrop of partition of India.
