Today’s song is a duet from the film Laila Majnu-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 from a confusingly titleed film-Anban-1944.
Hindi film titles are sometimes funny and sometimes confusing. Funny, we can understand but confusing titles can cause problems. I can understand the same titles for films. There are hundreds of such examples. Same titled films can be found from 2 to 7 films. Yes. Film title ” Insaaf’ was used for 7 films from 1937 to 1997 – one each in every decade !
When titles are similar but not exactly the same, they can still cause confusion. Here are some examples….. Aajkal and Aaj aur kal, Aarsi and Aarti, Shadi ke baad and Shadi se pehle, Agent 1-2-3, Agent 777 and Agent 999, Lagaan and Lagaam, Daanaa Paanee and Dana Pani etc etc.
Today’s film also falls in this category. There was a film called Aanbaan and this is Anban. For several years I was confused, but when I read in a Film magazine that this is Un-bun (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

Today’s song is from the film Shahnaaz-1948.
This film was directed by a Comedian- Shaikh and the music was by Singer/Actress Amirbai Karnataki. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Altaf, Nihal, Shanta Patel, Gulnar, Shama Dulari, Basheer , Shaikh and others. Most of the cast, except Begum Para and Altaf, was from C grade action films.
One of the interesting riddles the new “Old Film” lovers chew with interest is, who was the first woman Music Director in Hindi films. Time and again it has been proven, told, written and accepted that Bibbo aka Isharat Sultana was the First woman M.D., but still it is raised every now and then and the debate continues unabated.
