Today’s song is from the social film Sona-1948. This is one of those films, about which no information is available like its story etc. Only HFGK provides the basic information like cast, songs etc.

Sona is Gold. It is a very valuable and costly metal. But Hindi filmmakers did not think so, as films with Titles having the word Sona are only 2. One is today’s film and the other was Sona Chandi-1946. There were 11 film titles starting with the words Sone Ki, Ka, Pe etc. There was one film Chandi Sona in 1977. IMDB details say that the film Sona-1948 was one of the Hit films of 1948.

Today’s song is from a Remake film from the South – Mangala-1950.

The film was produced by the famous Gemini Pictures, Madras. It was directed by its owner S.S.Vasan. It had music by a team of 3 MDs namely, M.D.Parthasarathy (1 song), Balkrishna Kalla (10 songs), E. Shankar Sastry (3 songs) and 1 song jointly composed by kalla and Sastry. It was the style of Vasan to appoint Partasarathy as a Supervisor for the other MDs, so he did only 1 song to justify his being in the team. All songs were written by Pt. Indra. The cast of the film included Ranjan, Bhaumathy, Agha, David, Badri prasad, Surya prabha, B.S.Kalla and many others. Today’s song is the film’s seventh song to be discussed here.

Today’s song is from a Special film – Chauranghee-1942.

The film is special because, both the MDs- Kazi Nazrul Islam and Hanuman Prasad, as well as the Director of this film Hasnain Fazli, made their Debuts in a Hindi film. Another reason which makes this film a Special film, was that Kazi Nazrul Islam – the National Poet of BanglaDesh – made his Debut both as a Music Director and a Lyricist for his only Hindi film. Hanuman Prasad discovered Geeta Roy Dutt as a Playback singer in later times.

Today’s song is from the Mythological film Mahatma Vidur-1943.

1943 was a year in which the II world war was in full swing. Both sides were almost equal. The effects of the war on India were… it faced the infamous Bengal Famine, caused by the war profiteering. Controls on film production were tightened by the Government. I.P.T.A. became operative with its first staged p0lay ‘ Nibanna’. Film Kismet became one of the biggests Hits ever. V.Shantaram’s Rajkamal Kalamandir debuted with Shakuntala, as did Mehboob with his film Najma. Government made showing of Newsreel before any film mandatory.

Today’s funny song is from the stunt film Miss Good Night-1960.

MISS was yet another favourite title of Hindi filmmakers. There were as many as 27 films with titles starting with the word MISS. Compared to this, the males had an upper hand. There were 34 film titles starting with the word Mr. And then, as expected, there were only 3 film titles starting with Mr. and Mrs. Alas ! There was not a single film title starting with the word Mrs. What an injustice !
