“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.
