Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Ratnavali-1945.
The film was made by Amar Pictures, Bombay, owned by Chimanlal Desai, who was the owner of Sagar Movietone earlier. The films made by this company were generally directed by Virendra Desai, his son. The life story of Virendra Desai was very bad. While he was at the peak of his career, with a wife and 2 children, he fell in love with his Heroine – Nalini Jaywant, who was 15 years younger to him. After completing the film Adab Arz-1943, both of them eloped to Calcutta and got married there.

Today’s song is the last and the final song from the film Sunehre Din-1949. The film made by Jagat Pictures was directed by Satish Nigam and the music was by Gyan Dutt. The cast of the film included Rehana, Raj Kapoor, Nigar Sultana, Haroon, Heera Sawant, Ramesh Sinha and others.
The songs of this film were quite enchanting and a few of them became very popular. Especially the solo song “Baharon ne jise chheda” by Mukesh and the duet “Maine dekhi jag ki reet ” by Mukesh and Shamshad Begum are heard even today by song lovers – which includes me too ! For the film’s 10 songs, Gyan Dutt had used 8 singers like Geeta Roy, Shamshad Begum, Sulochana Kadam, Kalyani, Mukesh, Khan Mastana, Durrani and Surinder Kaur. Today’s song is by Surinder Kaur.

Today’s song is from the film Veer Ghatotkach (aka Surekha Haran)-1949. The meaning of Ghatotkach is a person with a bald head.
The film was made by Homi Wadia’s Basant Pictures and it was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt, a veteran in directing such films. Music was by S.N.Tripathi, who, as usual, also acted in this film.
S N Tripathi was an actor, director, composer and a singer too. He acted in 83 films, sang 13 songs in 7 films, directed 18 films and gave music to 111 films, composing 863 songs. In the early cinema, we had many such multi-faceted artists.
The cast of the film was Vasantrao pehelwan (as Ghatotkach), Shahu Modak, Niranjan Sharma, Meena Kumari (as Surekha), Sumati Gupte, H.Prakash, S.N.Tripathi, Shyam sunder Sulochana and many others.

Today’s song is from an absolutely obscure film – Maldar-1951.
I called it an absolutely obscure film, because except what is given in the HFGK, no other information on this film is available anywhere – neither in any books nor anywhere on the Internet. Even the film booklet is not available (either not printed for cost saving or less number printed to economise). It just came and went.
It was a Debut film for Amit Mitra – Director, Satish Bhatia – Music Director, Usha Bhatia – Playback singer, Roshan Joshi – Playback singer and Pran – Lyricist. Since we do not know the credits for other departments, we are unaware of that part.
The cast of the film was Balraj Sahni, Smriti Biswas, Chhabi Biswas, Neelima and others. The 8 songs of this film, composed by Satish Bhatia were quite nice but not good enough to compete, stand out or remain in memory compared to the other songs of the Golden Era of Film Music. 1951 had offered much more melodious songs by well known composers.

Today’s song is a duet from the Mythological film – Veer Arjun-1952.
The film was produced by Ratilal Punatar ( he was the nephew of Sardar Chandulal Shah of Ranjit Movietone), for his own banner Ajit Pictures ( Ajit was his son’s name). The film was directed by Ramchandra Thakur ( highly educated, originally from Sagar Movietone). 6 songs of this film were composed by Avinash Vyas while one song was composed by S.Mohinder- who made G.M.Durrani sing, probably his life’s only bhajan in this film !

Today’s song is from an exceptional Hindi Horror film – House No. 13..1991.
When you say Horror film, only one name comes to mind prominently and that is Ramsay Brothers. They became famous for making C grade horror films, for the C grade audience. The quality of their horror films was not worth discussing, nevertheless, they did good business. Not that such attempts were not made earlier by anybody else. But Overall, Horror films in Hindi Did not have the class it attained in horror films made in western world, especially Hollywood. Even Master Bhagwan had tried his hand at making a horror film – Bhedi Bangla-1949.
Today’s film was made by DVF Investments, Madras. It was completely shot in the Vauhini Studios of madras Actually the film was a remake of the hit Tamil film ” Pathimoonam Number Veedu”-1990. When I saw the credits of the Tamil film, I was surprised that it was directed by Baby, the screenplay was by Baby and the story was also by Baby. We are not used to seeing such confusing names. Not knowing if this ‘Baby’ was a Male or a Female, I found that the full name was A.G.Baby and HE was a well known director of offbeat Tamil films. The producer was G.A.Sheshgiri Rao. This film was released in theatres on 16-8-1991.
