Today’s song is from a Comedy cum Suspense cum Love story cum identical double role film Dhandora-1941.

Dhandora is a typical North Indian Hindi word, with which not many other state people may be aware of. Since there is an almost similar word with the same meaning, in Marathi, I knew about this word and so, maybe many Maharashtra readers too will know it.

Today’s song is from a very old film- 92 years old, to be exact – Bala Joban-1934.

An obvious question comes to mind that when today’s readers do not know or even never heard about the old time actors, when the songs are absolutely old style which are not at all likeable and when the singers and the composers test our patience, why should we read about these films ?

These old film articles are not for entertainment purposes, but they are the records for the historical times, reminders of the artists who made the foundation of today’s film industry stronger and which give information on the bygone times, styles of music and singing etc. These matters are valuable and beyond any entertainment or monetary values !

Today’s song is from a social film- actually a Love story- Jawani ki Reet-1939.

The year was 1939 and the British Government had declared war against Germany and Japan, as soon as the WW II began. All countries ruled by Britain were – willingly or unwillingly, drawn into the war efforts and its effects. The war began in the month of September and soon various restrictions came into operation – like rationing, blackouts, shortages etc. The film industry which was still under its development stage suffered. It also realised the importance of remaining united as one industry. However, all that came after 1 or 2 years. In 1939 there was not much effect seen on the film industry.
