Today’s song is from the film Manmani-1947.

The film was made by Patel productions. It was directed by Sarvottam Badami and the music was composed by the great one from Bengal – Kamal Dasgupta. Kamal Dasgupta earned fame when he composed many NFS in Hindi and Bengali in the mid 1930 and the 1940s. These became very popular, but somehow his Hindi film music was not that popular, except for the films Jawab-1942 and Hospital-1943, out of the 16 Hindi films for which he gave music. His best song for which he will always be remembered was ” Ye duniya Toofan mail” from the film Jawab-1942.

In the past also we have many such films.Right from the Silent films era, Calcutta has been making films and showing them in important markets. After the advent of Talkie films in 1931 itself, out of the 24 films that were released that year, as many as 7 films were made by Madan Theatres, Calcutta alone ! The rest 17 were made by different studios in Bombay. Surprisingly, there was no movie from New Theatres, Calcutta in Hindi, in the first year of Talkie films,i.e. 1931. Their first Hindi Talkie film ” Mohabbat ke aansoo” came only in 1932, but it was such a great flop that it probably did not cross Calcutta’s borders even !
