Today’s song is from an old film Paak Daman-1940.
Actually, I need not have written ” from an old film”, because my name is now firmly connected with old films only. This is in spite of my posts on a fair number of films and songs from 1970 to 2016 also. However branding and the label has stuck to me pucca.

Every year, hundreds of Hindi feature films are certified by Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Just for a sample check, I found that for the years 1951-1980, on an average, 100-120 Hindi features films had been certified/released. I am sure the number of Hindi films certified/released in the subsequent decades must have increased significantly. There were many Hindi feature films which had been shot but got shelved or remained incomplete or if completed, remained unreleased. I checked on the websites of Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) and Producers Guild of India (GUILD) for the list of such films. Unfortunately, no such information is available on the website. It is one more example of the poor upkeep of film related statistics.

Today’s song is from an almost unknown film Daku Bhupat-1960.
This was a dubbed film, originally made in Telugu as ” Raja Nandini”-1958. The system of spelling the proper nouns in Southern languages is different from most western or North Indian languages. I believe it all depends on the type of alphabet a language has. Some alphabets which are present in Devanagari script languages (like Marathi or Hindi for example) are not present in southern languages. So sounds like T and TH are both spelled as th. Thus Lalita in Hindi becomes Lalitha in south.

Today’s song is from an obscure film Vakil Saheb-1943.
The second world war started in 1939 and ended in 1945. The effects of wartime started being felt to people in the world, whether involved or not in the war. Shortages of essentials due to transport restrictions and Petrol shortages were acute when the war continued unabated and spread to almost every part of the world. Major powers like England , Japan, Europe, Russia and America dragged countries which were under their rule or influence and those who were friendly to them. This included India too.

Today’s song is from a film made almost 90 years ago….Maaya-1936.
This was a presentation of New Theatres, Calcutta, founded by its owner B.N.Sircar on 10th February 1931. In a span of just 24 years, it had made 150 films in Bangla, Hindi and some other languages. New Theatres actually was like an Academy for training film industry personnel in the Indian subcontinent. B.N.Sircar, though the owner of the company, had a very restricted role in its film making, once it started shooting. After the story was approved and the required finance was provided, he never interfered in the making of the film, rarely even visiting the shooting floors. This freedom helped many talented composers, directors, actors and the technical staff to learn how to face problems and solve them. There was a “Family” feeling among the workers.
