Today’s song is from a film which is almost 90 years old – 300 Days and after-1938.

1938 was an interesting year in the early life of the Talkie films. The film making studios had firm footing with a studio system and they tried a variety of subjects in their films. In the 88 Hindi films produced in 1938, one finds almost every Genre of film subjects, except perhaps the usual Folk stories and Historical themes. Comedy, Tragedy, Fiction, Jungle stories, Costume, Socials, Musicals, Mythologicals, you name it and you had it. Content and technical expertise had improved as films on famous novels were made.

Today’s song is from the stunt film – Hunterwali ki Beti-1943.

This is perhaps the only film in a Hindi cinema,so far, where the same actress has done the role of a young woman in a film and again did the role of her daughter in the same film. There are some Hindi films which double roles have been done by a few actresses, of mother and daughter in the same film. What makes today’s film different is its Title.

Today’s song is from the First film of Nargis as a Heroine – Taqdeer-1943.

1943 was an year in which the II world war was in full swing. Both sides were almost equal. The effects of the war on India were… it faced the infamous Bengal Famine, caused by the war profiteering. Controls on film production were tightened by the Government. I.P.T.A. became operative with its first staged p0lay ‘ Nibanna’. Film Kismet became one of the biggests Hits ever.

Today’s song is from a stunt film Jungle Princess-1942.

This was a film with Tarzan’s story. The only difference here was that the ‘Tarzan’ was a GIRL ! The story behind this film is interesting.

Today’s song is from the film Gol Nishan-1936.

The first Talkie film came in 1931. The first year had just 24 films, but within a span of 3 years, the Talkie films crossed the century mark, with 121 films in 1934, 152 in 1933 and 134 in 1936. Making a film was a complicated process which needed a studio, the latest machinery and a lot of money. This was difficult for a single person and thus the Studio System got established. The studios ruled the industry and the film making. Films were sold on the names of the studios and the actors had secondary appeal to the audience.

Today’s song is from an old film Paak Daman-1940.

Actually, I need not have written ” from an old film”, because my name is now firmly connected with old films only. This is in spite of my posts on a fair number of films and songs from 1970 to 2016 also. However branding and the label has stuck to me pucca.

Today’s song is from a very old film – almost 86 years old – Gopal Krishna-1938.

Modern Technology has made wonders possible, otherwise finding such old songs unthinkable. The first year of the Talkie Cinema saw the release of 24 films in its first year-1931. None of these films are available now. The oldest Hindi film that is available today is the film ” Ayodhya Ka Raja”-1932 in Hindi and Marathi (as अयोध्येचा राजा ), made by the Prabhat Film Company of Poona, Maharashtra. Same year, Prabhat also made another film ” Shyam Sunder”-1932. This was the Debut film of Shahu Modak, as young Krishna and also Shanta Apte as his mother-Yashoda. This too was made in Hindi and Marathi.
