“Ismat” (1944) was an extremely obscure movie. Hardly any information was available about this movie.
I have discussed one song from this movie in the past. The comments by our knowledgeable readers, namely our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh as well as another reader, Mr Sami, on that post has given us some rare information about this movie. Now we know that this movie was produced by Fazli brothers and directed by Sibtain Fazli. The movie had Nargis and Jaani Babu in the lead,supported by Mehtab, Nandrekar, Bhudo Advani, Pratima Devi, Irshad, Ghori etc. The story had an interesting Muslim social story whereby Nandrekar the hero is married to Mehtab and then remarries to Nargis as second wife.

The film “Baghaawat” (1982) must be a typical Sultan Ahmed film. It is easy to guess this much from this one song only which I knew from the days it was a new and popular song and played regularly on Radio. I have seen this song also earlier maybe on T.V. because I hav’nt seen this film. A few days back, maybe weeks,
one similar situation song was posted on the blog, which brought this song to mind. I searched and found the link, and been wanting to discuss this song since then.
