Today’s song is from an obscure and less known Costume film- Captain Kirti kumar-1937.
The year 1937 was a year of Revolution for the newly started Talkie Film. Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar. From this year, a variety of subjects were used to make films. If we briefly look at some path breaking, landmark films using Novel themes, we will understand how the film industry was attempting to change itself.

Today’s song is from a less known historical film – Pahela Admi-1950.
The film was made by New theatres, Calcutta. It was directed by Bimal Roy. This was his last film as a Director of a New Theatre film. After this film, he came to Bombay and settled here. His first film in Bombay as a director was a film by Bombay Talkies- Maa-1952. Both New Theatres and Bombay Talkies were on the anvil of closure when Bimal Roy directed their films. The Music Director for today’s film was R.C.Boral. The cast of the film consisted of Smriti Biswas, Balraj Vij, Pahadi Sanyal, Zahar Roy, Heeralal Asit Sen, Bela Bose and many others.

Today’s song is from an obscure and less known film- Miss Devi-1944.
This film had a story revolving around twin sisters who looked alike. The 1940s were replete with such ‘ Look alike’ films, as if there was a great demand for these films. Few days back I wrote about the film Dhandora-1941 which too had ‘Look alikes’ in its story. Another well known film was Muqabla-1942, a film with Fearless Nadia, with such a story. I have always wondered why the film stories get repeated so frequently, as if there is a shortage of imagination. Few years ago, I answered this question.

Today’s song is from a Comedy cum Suspense cum Love story cum identical double role film Dhandora-1941.
Dhandora is a typical North Indian Hindi word, with which not many other state people may be aware of. Since there is an almost similar word with the same meaning, in Marathi, I knew about this word and so, maybe many Maharashtra readers too will know it.

Today’s song is from a religious film (labelled as ‘social’ film in HFGK) – Alakh Niranjan-1950.
1950 was the final year of the decade of the 1940s and matters which took place in this period had tremendous impact on the coming decade of 1951 to 1960. The rush of Muslim artists to their Utopia- Pakistan, had slowed down and the new entrants to replace them here were in the process of solidifying their presence. The extraordinary success of the Mythological and Religious films in the 1940s decade, with films like Bharat milap, Ram Rajya and Har Har Mahadev gave impetus to such films in the 50s decade, peaking their numbers to 124 in the period 1951 to 1960.

Today’s song is from a very old film- 92 years old, to be exact – Bala Joban-1934.
An obvious question comes to mind that when today’s readers do not know or even never heard about the old time actors, when the songs are absolutely old style which are not at all likeable and when the singers and the composers test our patience, why should we read about these films ?
These old film articles are not for entertainment purposes, but they are the records for the historical times, reminders of the artists who made the foundation of today’s film industry stronger and which give information on the bygone times, styles of music and singing etc. These matters are valuable and beyond any entertainment or monetary values !
