“Hamaari Baat”(1943) was a Bombay Talkies Production. It was directed by M I Dharmsey. The movie had Devika Rani, Jairaj, David, Shah Nawaz, Mumtaz Ali, Kamta Prasad, Raj Kapoor, Suraiyya etc in it.
Today (31 may 2013) is the tenth death anniversary of Anil Biswas (7 july 1922- 31 may 2003). Here is a special song on this occasion as a tribute to Anil Biswas. This song is written by Pt Narendra Sharma. Anil Biswas in the composer. The song is sung by Parul Ghosh and Anil Biswas. It must be one of the very few occasions when a brother sister pair have sung a duet in a Hindi movie.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.

Good vintage song. The ‘Ghungroo’ like sound in the background at regular intervals is curious. I listened twice.It doe not sound like distortion! It sounds like the metal bells/ Ghungroo attached to wheels of the sugar-cane crusher which we used see in our younger days. Even today you can site this sugar cane crushers in the streets of Calcutta. I would love to watch the video. What was the picturisation like? Can Arunji throw some light on this?
