Today’s song is from a less known historical film – Pahela Admi-1950.
The film was made by New theatres, Calcutta. It was directed by Bimal Roy. This was his last film as a Director of a New Theatre film. After this film, he came to Bombay and settled here. His first film in Bombay as a director was a film by Bombay Talkies- Maa-1952. Both New Theatres and Bombay Talkies were on the anvil of closure when Bimal Roy directed their films. The Music Director for today’s film was R.C.Boral. The cast of the film consisted of Smriti Biswas, Balraj Vij, Pahadi Sanyal, Zahar Roy, Heeralal Asit Sen, Bela Bose and many others. The 11 songs of this film were written by Prakash, Shyamal Gupta, Anant Krishnan and Deshraj. This film was based on an actual event of the Indian National Army, headed by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

Today’s song is from an obscure film, but it is a special song because it is a duet sung by Meena Kumari – The Tragedy Queen – and A.R.Oza.
This Ranjit Movietone film was directed by Manibhai Vyas (27-4-1920 to 14-11-1993), who directed 20 Hindi films from film Dukhiyari-1937 to film Shri Krishna Bhakti-1973. The music was by Bulo C. Rani for songs written by Pt. Indra. The cast of the film was Khurshid Jr., Meena Kumari, Anjum, Nihal, Qamar, Shaikh Hasan, Nafeej Khalili etc. Except the 2 sisters i.e. Khurshid Jr. and Meena Kumari, I am not aware of any other cast members mentioned here. None of them are found in any other films. There were 11 songs and some of the singers like Savitri Gidwani, Chunilal Pardeshi are not known to me. Others like Mohd. Faruqi and A.R.Oza are atleast known to me.
Despite being known to be a writer on old films for the last 14 years, such unknown names give me an Inferiority Complex and a feeling that no one can know everything in any field, which makes the person humble too !
