Today’s song is from the film Adab Arz-1943.
It is one of those films, where you don’t find any connection between the film’s title and its story, even with a far-fetched imagination. This is what I call “Cheating” the audience. In the first instance you would feel that this is a story about a Muslim family. But no, it is not. Maybe the word ‘cheating’ is a harsh word, we can call it a misleading trick !
The film was made by Amar pictures, Bombay – which was started by Chimanlal Desai after Sagar Movietone closed and he also left National Studios. The film was one of the 8 films that his son-Virendra Desai – directed in his failed career. Music was provided to the 12 songs written by Rammurthy Chaturvedi, Kailash G Matwala and Pt. Indra, by Gyan Dutt who had recently left his long association with Ranjit Movietone. The cast of the film was Nalini Jayawant, Karan Dewan, Kamla Chaterjee, Ansari, Pratima Devi, Dulari, Mukesh, Nagendra M, M Kumar, and many others.

Today’s song is from a comedy film Chand Tara-1945.
1945 was the year when the devastating II World War ended and the film industry heaved a sigh of relief. Many irksome regulations were relaxed. There was no force now to make Propaganda films for war, no shortage of Raw Film and plenty of Finance available through black money, generated during the war times. However, the year saw only 73 Hindi films made.

Today, November 2nd is the 128th birth anniversary of the producer-director-actor, Sohrab Modi (02/11/1897 – 28/01/1984) who was one of the pioneers of Hindi film industry with sincerity embedded in his works. What all I know about him through the articles and interviews is that the filmmaking was his passion. He developed his own art of dialogue delivery in chaste Urdu, thanks to his childhood spent in Rampur where he did his early schooling. His dialogue delivery became his hallmark in the films.
After completion of his matriculation examination, Sohrab Modi sought guidance from the principal of his school as to what type of career he should persue. The principal said that hearing to the quality of his voice, he should either become a politician or an actor. He chose to be an actor. In this context, Sohrab Modi shared a trivia that when his film. ‘Sheesh Mahal’ (1950) was released at Minerva theatre in Mumbai, he observed that one of the persons seated in the audience had dozed off. He called the theatre manager to take him out and refund his ticket price assuming that he was not keeping well. However, the theatre manager reported back to him that the person was visually impaired and he had come to the theatre only to listen to Sohrab Modi’s dialogues. At that time, Sohrab Modi remembered what his school principal had said about his voice. [Source: Film Division documentary on Sohrab Modi].

Today’s song is a funny, ‘Anokhe Bol’ song from an iconic 86 year old film-Aadmi-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.

Today’s song is from a 85 year old film Haar jeet-1940.
I find so many similar film titles in the film index that sometimes I feel like taking up this issue also as a “Same title Confusions” problem. Luckily there is one trick to clarify among these similar titles and that is its year of making ! Therefore it is necessary that whenever a film is mentioned, its year must also be mentioned to avoid the possible ‘Same Title Confusion’ ! There were 4 films of this title made in 1940, 1954, 1972 and 1990. In addition, I also found 2 more Har jeet films which were left incomplete.
1940 was a period when New Theatres, the makers of Haar jeet-1940, were in top speed and in its Golden period. The film was directed by Amar Mullick. Music was by R.C.Boral-considered as the ‘Grand Old man’ of film music in India. His contribution to the film industry is unforgettable.
