Today’s song is from a very old film of the first decade of the Talkie films – Village Girl aka Gram Kanya-1936.

There were 3 films with the same title. The first one was made as a Silent film, with Sulochana in the lead opposite Raja Sandow. The film was made by Imperial Film Company, Bombay and it was directed by Mohan Bhavnani. He later married actress Enakshi Rama Rau in 1931. The second film was in 1936, today’s film and the third was made in 1945 with singer and actress Nurjahan. It had excellent songs composed by Music Director Shyam Sunder. It was for this film that Mohd. Rafi recorded his first Hindi song in 1944. He sang in the Chorus and the lead singer was G.M.Durrani. However, when the times changed, Rafi was the lead singer and Durrani in the Chorus for a song in K.Asif’s film Laila Majnu !

Today’s song is from the film jailor-1938.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone. It was directed by Sohrab Modi. Music was by Meer Saheb and all the 11 songs of the film were written by a young, ambitious poet Ameer Haider Kamaal Amrohavi – who later on became Kamaal Amrohi, a director and husband of Meena Kumari. The cast of the film was Sohrab Modi, Leela CXhitnis, Sadiq Ali (who was known as ‘The Prince of Minerva), Eruch Tarapore ( a relative of Sohrab Modi, who worked only in his films and also sang), Sheela, Sharifa, Kusum Deshpande etc.

Today’s song is from the film Karma-1933. It is a special song for two reasons. One- it was the First Talkie film made in both Hindi and English and two- this was the first Hindi film to have an English song in it. Later on, ofcourse, many more English songs have appeared in Hindi films.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Punarmilan-1940.

My favourite Marathi/Hindi/English author ISAQ MUJAWAR has written several – over 30 – books on Hindi and Marathi old films, people and related topics. One of his books in English is ” Maharashtra – The Birthplace of the Indian Film Industry”. This is a very rare book to find one. I have the original as well as its xerox copy. The original book was gifted to me by my Friend from Ahmedabad, Mr. P.S.Seshadri. He is an occasional visitor and commenter of this Blog.

Today’s song is from a very old film- Janmabhoomi-1936.

During the British Raj, film makers had to be very careful in making a film to ensure that nothing derogatory or against the Raj was found in the film. Making a Patriotic film was a risky business and hence hardly any direct patriotic dialogue or songs could be found which would incite the Censor Board to hold their film for issuance of the Censor Certificate.

Today’s song is a duet from a very old film-almost 90 year old- Gramophone Singer-1938.

From the 19th century till the beginning years of the 20th Century, the only means of public entertainment was stage dramas and local folk dances pertaining to each demographic region individually. The first gramophone recording took place in India when 2 Nautch Girls- Sashi Mukhi and Feni Bala from Amarendra Dutta’s classical Theatre sang songs in Calcutta on 8-11-1902, Saturday, for a recording.

Today’s song is the last and the final song from the film Chhabili-1960.

Every country has some speciality or a peculiar characteristic, which is unique to itself.
