Today’s song is from the film Gumashta-1951.
Gumashta is an Urdu word. Being from and having grown up in Hyderabad, I know the meaning of this word, from my childhood. In those days the family Doctors did not charge the patients every time they visited him. Instead, he used to note his charges in a diary, where a separate page was reserved for that patient. At the end of every month, the total was done and a man was sent by the doctor to the patient’s house to collect the amount. That man was called ” Gumashta” or a Bill Collector.

Today’s song is from the comedy film Hangama-1952.
1952 was an year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of Film production, escalating rates of stars and music Directors, establishment of Star System in place of earlier Studio System, increasing taxes, decreasing number of Cinema Halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with Black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

Today’s song is from the film Maaya-1936.
The film was made by New Theatres, Calcutta, which was a leading filmmaking studio in India. The film was directed by P.C.Barua. The lyricist was Asghar Hussain Shor and the music directors were R.C.Boral and Pankaj Mullick. There were only 6 songs in this film, whereas the average number of songs in the period 1931 to 1940 was 9 songs/film. A total of 931 films were made in this decade, with an average of 9.3 films/yr. Total 8247 songs were in these films. Incidentally the lowest average of songs was 4.6 songs/film in the period 2011-2020 ( as per the statistics provided by Shri Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji in RMIM in January 2022.) I find that the number of songs in Hindi films made in Bengal were less compared to films made at other centres. This was apart from melody and popularity resting with Calcutta made films, on an All India Basis for the same period.

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 !
