Today’s song is from an 87 year old film Jwala-1938.

The film was made by Producer/Director Master Vinayak for his banner, Huns Pictures. Going out of his tradition, he had made a different type of film. Additionally, he continued to give the music responsibility of this film also to Classical musician – Dhamman khan, who had earlier done music for the film Chhaya-1936.

Dhamman Khan was one of those giants of classical music who had developed an urge (call it itch) to try their hand at composing film music, do a film or two and return to their own comfort zone again. Some such other examples are Bhurji Khan(Kurukshetra-33), Ameer saab(Nirdosh abla-35), Nawab Khan(Mirza sahiban-35), Wamanrao Sadolikar(Naganand-35…this is C.Ramchandra’s First film as a Hero. The film ran for just ONE day !), Abdul Kareem Khan (Maut ka Toofan-35 and Voh kaun-35), Master Giyasuddin (Typist girl-35) etc etc.

Today’s song is a male duet from a C grade film – Baghdad Ka Chor-1955.

The year 1955 gave us some really meaningful and entertaining films. Raj Kapoor’s ‘Shri 420’ tried to bring in limelight, as usual, the hypocrisy of elite society. It was a great film with a message, good direction and everlasting music by Shankar-Jaikishan, the three specialities of an RK film. From this film onwards, “Raju” became the favourite name of Raj Kapoor’s Heroes.( Like ‘Shanker’ was Shammi Kapoor’s lucky name in early films. Similarly ‘Vijay’ was the favourite film name of Amitabh Bachhan in 20 films, of Jeetendra in 18 films and of Mithun Chakravarti in 16 films.).
