Today’s song is from an obscure film – Char minar-1956. Though the 50s decade was known for entertaining, Mythological and musical films, there were also plenty of ordinary films, lacking in content, star power and good music. Such films just came and went without leaving any trace. But these lacklustre films actually gave enhanced importance to memorable films.

Char Minar-56 was a Nagina film presentation (which was owned by Ravindra Dave, the Director of Nageena-51. After this film’s tremendous success he opted for its name for his company). The film was produced and directed by Ravindra Dave. Not only that, the assistant director was Narendra Dave, Assistant Photographers were Pratap Dave and Arvind Dave, Assistant Editor was Balwant Dave and the production manager was Surendra Dave. It looked like an employment exchange for Dave’s family !

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.

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.
