Today’s song is the last song from the film Taqdeer-1943. With this song, the film gets YIPPEED !
Taqdeer-1943 was specially made for facilitating the Debut of Baby Rani aka Baby Fatima aka Nargis, the only daughter of Singer, actress, Director, Producer and Music Director of early Talkie films – Jaddan Bai. Father of Nargis was a Hindu converted to Islam and from being a Muslim, Nargis got converted to Hinduism before her marriage to Sunil Dutt, with a brand new name “Nirmala Dutt”. Thus a circle was completed from her Nani Daleepabai, who hailed from a Brahmin family to Nirmala Dutt – wife of Sunil Dutt, a Mohyal Brahmin (a sub caste of Saraswat Brahmins). It is said that before marrying Mohan Babu (father of Nargis) Jaddan bai also had changed her name to Jaya Devi Tyagi. However due to Muslim community pressure Mohan Babu had to convert to Islam and become Abdul Rashid.

Today’s song is from a totally unknown film Krishna Bhakta Bodana-1944.
This was a film made by Wadia Movietone, exclusively owned now by the elder brother J.B.H.Wadia, after the younger brother left this jointly owned company, to start his own outfit. Being a Gujarati Parsee, no wonder Wadia wanted to make a film on a lesser known Gujarati Saint to attract the Gujarati audience. The film was directed by J.B.H.Wadia himself – with a gap of 9 years i.e. after his last directed film Noor-E-Yaman-1935. In all he directed 15 films. His last film was Saaj aur Sanam-1971. During this 9 year gap period, he wrote film stories, produced films and did overall management of Wadia Movietone.

Today’s song is from the film Hunterwali ki Beti-1943. This is perhaps the only film in the world where the Heroine has done the role of a daughter, whose mother also was the same heroine in an earlier film. The Heroine fearless Nadia entered the world of Stunt films in India, with the hit film ” Hunterwali “-in 1935. After 8 years, she was doing the role of ‘Hunterwali ki beti’-1943, in this film ! Great indeed !!

In the year 1942, they were not the first or the only people to leave their parent studio and start their own ventures. There were many like them.

Today’s song is from the film Badi Maa-1945.
There were 5 films called Maa and its varieties like Badi Maa, Chhoti Maa. Then there were Maa films with Baap, Beta, Beti, Behen,Biwi, Mamata, Aanchal, Pyaar, Aansoo, Saugandh, Shakti, and Qasam. Additionally, Durga and Santoshi Maa were also made. Almost 30 films about Maa at one place in the index book. I did not try other letters of the alphabet to see more possible films with the word maa – like Naani Maa, Dadi Maa, Meri Maa, Teri Maa, Apni Maa, Uski Maa etc !

Today’s song is from a very old film Comrades-1939.
The title of this film is somewhat misleading. Comrades was the common word used for Communist members. I too was confused with this title, but then I realised that a film on Communist ideology was not possible in British India. The film happens to be a story of three friends, 2 Boys and 1 girl. The film could have been titled Friends or Dosti or some similar title. Wish I was there to make this suggestion to the owners of Sagar Movietone !
