Today’s song is from the film ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946).
All those who know a little bit of Indian history, know about Maharana Pratap – a brave king who fought with the mighty Mughals, with meager support from other Indian kings from his region. He is one who never lost any battle. The names of Maharana Pratap and his famous horse Chetak are well known to us.
Pratap Singh I, popularly known as Maharana Pratap (c. 9 May 1540 – 19 January 1597), was a Hindu Rajput king of Mewar from the Sisodia dynasty. He fought several major battles against Akbar including the Battle of Haldighati in 1576 to resist the expansionist policy of the Mughal empire. Pratap became a folk hero for his military resistance through guerrilla warfare which proved inspirational for later rebels against Mughals including Malik Ambar and Shivaji. Chetak is the name given in traditional literature to the horse ridden by Maharana Pratap at the Battle of Haldighati, fought on 18 June 1576 at Haldighati, in the Aravalli Mountains of Rajasthan, in western India. Though wounded in the battle of Haldighati, Chetak ran fast and took Maharana Pratap to safety, before dying.
Film ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946) was made by Jayant Desai Productions, Bombay. The Producer and the Director was Jayant Desai. Jayant Jhinabhai Desai was born in Surat, Gujarat, on 28-2-1909, in a well-to-do family. He graduated from Bombay University and entered the film line as an exhibitor in Surat. Later on he started writing screenplays for London Films, Rangoon and then for Krishna and Sharada studios. He joined Chandulal Shah’s Ranjit Studios in 1929, as his assistant for the silent film ‘Rajputani’. Director Nandlal Jaswantlal Bhatt (‘Nagin’, ‘Taj’, ‘Champakali’ etc.) was another assistant in Ranjit.
When Nandlal left Ranjit to go to Europe, Jayant completed his film ‘Pahadi Kanya’ (1930)’. At Ranjit, Jayant directed 12 silent films. He was with Ranjit till 1943 and Directed 33 talkie films, while in Ranjit. Some of these films were ‘Chaar Chakram’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyan’, ‘Nadira’, ‘Toofan Mail’, ‘College Girl’, ‘Matlabi Duniya’, ‘Toofani Toli’, ‘Billi’ ( a copy of a Hollywood film, based on PG Wodehouse’s novel “A Damsel in Distress” ), ‘Sant Tulsidas’, ‘Diwali’, ‘Shaadi’, ‘Chandni’, ‘Bhaktaraj’, ‘Tansen’ (with KL Saigal), ‘Zaban’ etc.
After leaving Ranjit, Jayant Desai established his own studio, Jupiter Films Studio, Jayant Desai Productions and Hemlata Pictures. He also had exhibition interests in Hindmata and Star Theatres in Bombay’s Dadar area. In the 50s, he operated as a distributor with his Jupiter films.
While in Ranjit, he had Directed KL Saigal in the film ‘Tansen’ (1943). Sardar Chandulal Shah had called Saigal on a contract of 60 days. Jayant completed ‘Tansen’ in flat 51 days. Kidar Sharma then used those 9 days to make a quickie – ‘Bhanwara’ (1944), with Saigal.
C Ramchandra was with Jayant Desai for more than 3 years and gave 5 successful films. It was Jayant Desai who gave him the name C Ramchandra for use in films. It was also Jayant Desai who was responsible for the rise of C Ramchandra in a major way. After leaving Ranjit, Jayant started his own company. In his new company, Jayant had hired C Ramchandra as a paid composer on a salary of Rs. 300 pm. C Ramchandra gave music to many of his films like ‘Zaban’, ‘Lalkar’, ‘Manorama’, ‘Chandragupta’ etc. and all films became popular. C Ramchandra was proud of his achievement. Under the banner Jayant Desai productions, one more Saigal film – Tadbeer’ (1945), with Suraiya in the lead was made. Jayant Desai directed 65 films in all. His last film was ‘Zamana Badal Gaya’ (1961). He died in Bombay on 19-4-1976.
The cast of the film ‘Maharana Pratap’ was Khursheed, Ishwarlal, Kantilal, Mubarak, D S Salvi, Noorjehan Sr., Reva Shankar, Bhagwandas, Sati Devi and many others. We do not know the story of this film, but from the type of songs this film had, it seems to be a mix of Pratap’s life story consisting of his fights and family life. The period from 1945 to about the early 50’s was the time when most of the old actors and actresses coming from the early era and those who were a part of the spill over from the silent film era saw their last lap of career and they all disappeared during this period. Today’s film is the best example.
Khursheed – last film in India- ‘Aap Beeti’ (1948).
Ishwarlal – Stopped singing in 1945. Last film ‘Badi Maa’ (1945).
Kantilal – Last film ‘Jai Shiv Shankar’ (1951). Last song ‘Bhaktraj’ (1943).
Sati Devi – Last song ‘Door Chalen’ (1946).
Noorjehan sr. – Last song- ‘Aadab Arz’ (1943). Last film – ‘Anarkali’ (1953).
Reva Shankar – Last film ‘Jai Mahadev’ (1951). Last song – ‘Mahasati Tulsi Vrinda’ (1947). Last film as MD ‘Matrubhumi’ (1949).
Bhagwandas – Last film ‘Jalpari’ (1952).
For two artistes, this film was a landmark film.
1. For Music Director Ram Ganguly – this was his first film as a Music Director. It was his debut film. There are cases in history, where talent alone has not helped. The luck factor plays a vital role in one’s life. But then, what is luck ? Call it opportunity, recognition, fame, money. . . call it what you may like to, but luck is a factor.
Otherwise, so many talented actors, singers, composers, directors or even producers would not rot in the film industry. The case of the film ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’ (1975) can be quoted in this connection. If it was not for luck, how come a low budget film, made by a repeatedly failed producer Satram Rohra, became one of the top blockbusters of all time ? Surprisingly, after this movie, the next ventures of Satram Rohra were again failures. Though he was benefited by ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’, neither the Music Director C Arjun nor the film’s director Vijay Sharma got any benefit from the film. Probably they were not as lucky.
I do not want to dwell upon examples and a lengthy claim in favor of luck, but let us not forget that many talented artistes, who showed great promise with their initial achievements failed inexplicably, later in their career. At least two examples can be quoted, of composer Ram Ganguly and singer Mubarak Begum (RIP).
Unfortunately, Ram Ganguly has no identity beyond his most famous film ‘Aag’ (1948) (his only 3rd film), making many people think that this was the only film that he did. Sometimes he is mistaken even for composer Ramlal (Choudhari).
Born on 6-8-1916, Ram Ganguly soon achieved expertise in playing violin, at the age of just 10 years. He was most appreciated when he played violin at the All India Congress Party Session at Calcutta in 1933. Listening to his violin, composer RC Boral offered him a job in New Theaters immediately. He remained 7 years in New Theaters. First he was assistant to Timir Baran for film ‘Devdas’ (1935), then assisted RC Boral and finally assisted Pankaj Mallick for film ‘Dushman’ (1939). There he met Prithviraj Kapoor and they became friends. Following Kapoor, Ram too proceeded to Bombay. He started a Dance and Music school in Khandala, in 1946. In 1943, he joined Prithvi Theaters as a music director for stage dramas. His music for the famous drama ‘Deewar’ in 1945 became popular. Raj Kapoor had sung a song in that drama, for which HMV took out a record also “Hum Babu Naye Niraale Hain“.
Ram’s first film as a film MD was Jayant Desai’s ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946). He did one more film for Desai, ‘Maha Tulsi Vrinda’ in 1947. When Raj Kapoor made his first film, ‘Aag’ (1948), selection of Ram Ganguly as its MD was natural, because Raj knew him very well from the Prithvi days. Ram Ganguli took tabla player Shanker and harmonium player Jaikishen as his assistants, having known them earlier. Little did he know at that time that this pair would edge him out from Raj camp and establish themselves there. Ram Ganguli gave excellent songs for the film ‘Aag’ (1948), sung by Shamshad, Mukesh and Sailesh Mukherjee.
Inspite of his good performance, he was thrown out by Raj Kapoor for his next venture ‘Barsaat’, for 2 reasons. One – Ganguly being an old guard did not fit into the future plans of Raj Kapoor, who wanted to innovate and bring in new ideas. And two, he was told that Ganguly was trying to use ‘Barsaat’ tunes for outside producers. While the first reason seems to be plausible, the second reason seems to be an excuse. God only knows the truth, but S-J were capable of anything – if one knows what they did in the coming years to win awards and contracts.
In all, he gave music to just 14 films with 146 songs and 1 unreleased film. His films were ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946), ‘Maha Tulsi Vrinda’ (1947), ‘Aag’ (1948), ‘Jalsa’ (1948), ‘Banvaasi’ (1948), ‘Anmol Moti’ (1949), ‘Ram Darshan’ (1950), ‘Deepak’ (1951), ‘Sangam’ (1954), ‘Gawaiya’ (1954) (this film also saw the end of Surendra’s singing career), When Prithviraj Kapoor decided to make his famous drama ‘Paisa’ into a film (in 1957), he called only Ram Ganguly. Originally, for the drama too he had been the MD. He gave good songs but they were not popular. Then came ‘Ten O’clock’ (1958) and then the next film was ‘Saaya’ (1961). His last film was ‘Suhaani Raat’ (1974). In between, a film ‘Postmaster'(1955) remained unreleased.
Slowly Ram Ganguly was forgotten . He stopped getting films. No one came to him. Finally, frustrated, he left for Calcutta and died there sometime in 1983.
2. DS aka Dada Salvi – This was his last Hindi film. Dinkar Shivram Salvi (04 December 1904 – 29 October 1980) better known as screen name “Dada Salvi”, was an actor of the silent and talkie era of Indian Cinema. He was a part of the first Indian talkie film ‘Alam Ara’ (1931). He has acted in 20 silent movies. He has worked in Hindi & Marathi movies.
Dinkar Shivram Salvi aka Dada Salvi was born on 04 December 1904 in a village Phansob in Ratnagiri, Bombay Presidency, undivided India, now in Maharashtra. After completing his education, he joined the Police Department. During service period, he was taking part in plays. Shri Tipnis, a well known play master saw Salvi and advised to come to Bombay. Acting in plays became a part of his life, so he decided to leave the job and came to Bombay.
In Bombay, Tipnis introduced Salvi to KB Athawale, working as manager, actor, director in Excelsior Film Company owned by Seth Wazeer Aziz. The company was searching for talented actors and Athwale offered Salvi to join Excelsior Film Company on a monthly salary of ₹ 25. Salvi accepted the job & joined Excelsior Film Company.
Salvi’s first silent film was ‘Khoon-e-Nahaq’ (1928) and became very popular. Looking at his potential in acting, the Imperial Film Company offered Dalvi work with higher monthly pay. After joining Imperial Film Company, Salvi acted in 20 silent films like ‘Madan Manjri’, ‘Indira BA’, ‘Bhola Shikar’, ‘Cinema Girl’, ‘Hamara Hindustan’, ‘Raat Ki Baat’, ‘Khuda Ki Shaan’ and many more. It is said, while working with Imperial Film Company, Salvi fell in love with his co-actress Sakhubai & later they married. Probably it was the first love marriage of the first Maharashtrian acting couple of Hindi films.
Salvi worked with Jayant Desai in the film ‘Poladi Pahelwan – Iron Man’ (1931) for Paramount Films. He also acted in Marathi films like ‘Aut Ghatkecha Raja’, ‘Bhakta Prahlad’, ‘Chatrapati Sambhaji’, ‘Thaksen Rajputra’ under Dadasaheb Torne of Saraswati Cinetone. Salvi’s role in ‘Chatrapati Sambhaji” as Sambhaji’s evil advisor Kalusha Kabji won him great acclaim. Impressed with the acting of Salvi as Kalusha Kabji, Hans Pictures, Kolhapur, invited him to join them on a three figure salary. Salvi left Imperial and joined Hans.
‘Premveer’ (1937) was Salvi’s first film with Hans Pictures. This was a turning point in his career where he came to be associated with Master Vinayak and Marathi Films. Their team led to many wonderful performances. He was then seen mostly in Marathi Films with an occasional Hindi film. In ‘Brahmchari’ (1938), Salvi played the role of the father of the heroine. Salvi acted in Marathi films like ‘Savangadi’, ‘Brandi Chi Batli’, ‘Devta’ and many more.
Later Hans Pictures changed to Navyug Chitrapat and made ‘Amrut’ (1941). Salvi then worked in many Hindi and Marathi films with Master Vinayak, V Shantaram. After 1947, Dada Salvi mainly worked in Marathi films. He acted in 23 Hindi films and even sang a song in the film ‘Awara Shahzada’ (1933).
Dada Salvi died on 29 October 1980 in Poona (Pune), Maharashtra.
Today’s song is sung by Khursheed as a solo. HFGK mentions one duet having the same mukhda, sung by Zohra Bai and Reva Shankar. However, this duet is not available on YouTube. Today’s song is very pleasant. Enjoy. . .

Today (18 April 2023) is the remembrance anniversary of Khursheed Bano (14 april 1914-18 april 2001). She was active in Hindi movies right from 1931 when talkies films began. Her debut film was Madan Theatre, Calcutta’s “Laila Majnu”(1931). Incidentally a movie with the same title was made in 1931 in Bombay as well. 🙂
Khursheed Bano was the top notch female singer-actor of those days. It was a crown that she held till 1948 when she migrated to the newly formed country of Pakistan as she belonged to that place, being born in Kusur and brought up in Lahore.
Her initial movies were productions of Calcutta and Lahore, such as “Laila Majnu”(1931), “Hathheeli Dulhan”(1932), “Chatra Bakawali”(1932), “Muflis Aashiq”(1932), “Naqlee Doctor”(1933), “Swarg ki Seedhi”(1935), “Mirza Sahiban”(1935), etc
She moved to Bombay in late 1930s and and her biggest hits were delived there. “Bhakt Surdas”(1941), “Tansen”(1942), “Nurse”(1943), “Shahanshah Babr”(1944), “Moorti”(1945), “Mitti”(1947) and “Aap Beeti”(1948), “Papeeha Re”(1948) etc were her memorable movies during her Bombay stint.
After Partition, she along with her husband Lala Yakub, went to Pakistan and settled in Karachi. While in Pakistan, she acted in two movies in 1956, but they both flopped badly. She then retired for movies. In 1956, she divorced Lala Yakub and married a business man Yusuf Bhai Mian. She died in Karachi, Pakistan on 18 april 2001.
We can see that all her big hits were delivered while she worked in Indian films in undivided India. She was in her mid thirtees when she migrated to Pakistan but she could not find fertile ground for her talent there. From the topmost actor-Singer in India, she was reduced to almost nothing as an artist in Pakistan.
As a tribute to Khursheed Bano, here is a song from “Shaadi”(1941).
“Shaadi”(1941) was directed by Jayant Desai for Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This movie had Madhuri, Motilal, Khrusheed Bano, Ishwarlal, Dixit, Ghori, Bhagwandas, Kantilal, BhoopatRai, Tarabai, Brijmala, Keshari, Baby Kamala etc in it.
The movie had 14 songs in it. 8 songs have been covered in the blog. Here is the ninth song from the movie to appear in the blog.
This song is sung by Khursheed Bano and female chorus. Lyrics are by Munshi Dil. Music is composed by Khemchand Prakash.
Only audio of the song is available. The song was picturised on Khursheed Bano herself, of course.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Today’s song is from a film called Daughters of India-1939. The film was made by Super Pictures, Bombay. It was directed by V M Vyas and the Music Director was Pt. Ram Gopal Pandey. Twelve songs of this film were written by Munshi A. Shah ‘Aziz’. The cast of the film was Khursheed, Ashiq Hussain,Radha Devi, Vimla Devi, Shah Ali, Leela etc.etc.
Film’s Hero Ashiq Hussain hailed from U.P. He was a Handsome person. He could act and also sing reasonably well. He was selected by Jaddanbai as a side Hero in her first film “Talash E Haq”-1935, wherein, her own daughter Nargis also made a Debut as a Child Artiste with the name Baby Rani. Jaddanbai was in the female lead opposite Yaqub, who also hailed from a Tawayef family. Ashiq hussain acted in all the 5 films made by jaddanbai, namely Madame fashion-36, Hriday manthan-36, Moti ka Haar and Jeevan Swapna-37- all directed by her. Ashiq hussain acted in 25 films. His last film was ‘ Utho Jaago”-1947, in which he was cast opposite actress Shahzadi. She was also the producer of the film. After the film was released, Ashiq Hussain married Shahzadi and they both migrated to Pakistan.
I do not know what was the story of the film Daughters of india-39. I had seen an advertisement of this film in Film India magazine, wherein they said ” after Mother India-38, another social film “. However I found that both films were made by different banners and different Directors too. The Music Director was the same.
I have heard 3 songs from the film Daughters of india-39 and frankly I was disillusioned. The songs are so drab and have almost the same style and same tune-with slight variation. I also happened to listen to some songs from other films of Ram Gopal pandey, like Kisan kanya-37 and mother india. They are so unmusical. No wonder Ram Gopal got only C grade action and stunt films.
Music Director Ram Gopal Pande was variously credited as R G Pande, Ram Gopal, Ram Gopal Pandey etc. He hailed from U.P. After trying to become a singer unsuccessfully, he became assistant to many well known composers and learned the methods.
His first break came in 1936 with ‘ Matwali Jogan’ aka A girl from Lahore. Then he was called by the Imperial film company for its first colour film Kisan Kanya-37. Master Nisar and Padma Devi’s songs became popular, so he was given two more films- Mere Laal-37 and Vasant Bangalee-38.
Then came Mother india-38, Actress kyon bani-39, Flying Rani-39, Perfect man-38, Daughters of India-39 and Chalti Duniya-40. He was then connected with Mohan Pictures. He did other movies like Tatar ka chor-40, Deepak Mahal-40, Captain Kishore-40, Jadui Bandhan-41, Shahzadi-41, Bulbul E Baghdad-41, Bandukwali-44, Hoor E Jungle-46, Baghdad ka Chor-46, Arab ka chand-46, Ali Baba-46.
His last film seems to be Angoorbala-47. He was left behind as his music was stage and drama type only. He did not change the style either. In all he gave music to 22 films and composed 203 songs. None of his songs are remembered today. No other information is available on him.
Even the director of this film was V M Vyas who specialised in films of low budgets and C grade films generally. Vishnukumar Maganlal Vyas was born on 4-11-1905 in Ahmedabad. He started his career in 1927 as a Cinematographer. His company, Sunrise films, was started in 1941. He produced and directed 30 Hindi ( 3 Silent and 27 Talkie films) and many Gujarati films . He died on 24-1-1962 at Bombay. Vyas was a very hardworking person and a man of ‘ never say die ‘ spirit. He was disciplined and did not tolerate any nonsense. He was also known as a very miser. Being a Vaishnav, his stars would get only vegetarian food during shootings. If they wanted Non Veg food, they had to pay for it.
His first Talkie film was Saubhagya Lakshmi-34 and the last was Naag Devta-81.
Famous writer Manto has described in his book an incident about Noorjehan and V.M.Vyas.
At the time of film Naukar-43, the pair of Shaukat Hussain and Nur jehan troubled Vyas to no end. Not attending the shoots on time, asking for extra money on some pretext or the other and in general giving trouble and mental torture to Vyas were common. Not only this, additionally Nur jehan and Shaukat used to take interesting property materials from the sets to their house-like furniture, decorative vase, cupboards etc. Vyas kept quiet till the film was complete.
Once the film was completed and released, he registered an F.I.R against both of them for stealing studio equipment. To utter dishonour of Noor jehan, a police raid was made on her residence and all the furniture, tables, decorative pieces etc. , which she had taken from the sets were confiscated and the court fined her also.
Thus Vyas did not keep quiet when it was his turn and taught a lesson to Noor jehan and Shaukat Hussain, for troubling him.
After listening to songs of early era films made in Bombay, no wonder the film songs from Calcutta films became more popular. It must have been a breath of fresh air to the audience.
This song was given to me by Shri Abhay Jain jee (US) and it was uploaded by Sadanand Kamath jee for me. I thank both.
With this song, the film Daughters of India-39 makes its debut on the Blog.

Today’s song is from an obscure ‘never heard of’ type film of the early times of the Talkie era – Kaun Kisi ka-1939. The film was made by Hindustan Cinetone. It was directed by Chimanlal Luhar, a talented person. He was a rarity in those days as he was a Science graduate. In times when there were very few educated people in the film industry, he was respected everywhere.
Director CHIMANLAL MULJIBHOY LUHAR ( 1901-1948) was a Chemistry graduate from Bombay University. He started writing as a critic and author in journals like Beesvin sadee, Navchetan and Bombay Chronicle. He joined the film line as a lab Assistant in Kohinoor studios in his early 20s. Soon he became a noted cameraman for several documentaries, with K.D.Brothers, Bombay,under a British cameraman of Prince of Wales’ official entourage. After a brief stint at Rajkot with Saurashtra Films and a longer one at Krishna Films-where he shot 20 films, he joined Sharada Studios with ‘Dagabaz Duniya-1926 and several stunt films by Master Vithal. He turned a producer for a few stunt films.
Later he was a partner in Sharda films and a Director with Sagar Movietone(1934-1940). From 1941 to 46 he worked for Prakash Pictures. He directed Sassi Punnu-32,Silver King-35 Talash-E-haq (first film of Nargis, made by Jaddanbai)-35, Do deewane, Kharab Jaan, Capt. Kirtikumar, Dynamite, Kaun kisika, Sewa Samaj, Saubhagya, Darshan, Station master, School Master, Uss paar and Bindiya. He died at the young age of 47 years,in 1948. He had established his own production outfit ‘Sun Art Pictures’ in 1943, but he made only 3 films with it -School Master-43, Uss Paar-44 and Bindiya-46, before he died, after a prolonged illness.
FILMOGRAPHY: 1932: Sassi Punnu; 1935: Silver King; Talash-e-Haq; 1936: Do Diwane/Be Kharab Jan; 1937: Captain Kirti Kumar; 1938: Dynamite; 1939: Kaun Kisika; Seva Samaj; 1940: Saubhagya; 1941: Darshan; 1942: Station Master; 1943: School Master; 1944: Us Paar; 1946: Bindiya.
The Music Director of this film was Rafiq Ghaznavi, Lyricist was Munshi Dil and the cast of the film was Padma Devi, Shobhana Samarth, Khurshid, Nazir Ahmed, Mubarak, K N Singh, Maruti Rao, Khalil Ahmed, Gope etc.etc. Most of these actors, director and the MD disappeared by the end of the 40’s, because many of them were the spill overs from the Silent Era. Except a few like K.N.Singh, Gope, Mubarak or Shobhana Samarth, none of the other names will mean anything to our readers in the age bracket of 40 to 60 years. The Partition further precipitated this condition and made matters difficult to track old artistes and get their information. Considering the poor conditions in India of preserving and documenting events, information and life stories of old time artistes, it became a Herculean task to collect information on such persons.
I have written articles on films of the early cinema i.e. from the decade of the 1930s. In these articles, I have introduced few unknown or less known heroes and heroines of those times, to our readers. Some of these are Vijay Kumar, Ram Singh, Shankar Rao Vazare, Gul Hamid, Prakash and heroines like Shamim, Nazma, Anjali Devi, Shahzadi, Menaka, Radha Rani, Meera Mishra, Meera Devi etc. Today also we will talk about yet another less known artiste of the silent and early talkie films – Master Khalil Ahmed.
From the lot of the “brought forward” actors and actresses from the silent to the talkie films, two heroes were the true super stars. Master Khalil and Master Vithal. Since they had started their careers from the silent era of the 1920’s, they did not go beyond the 1940’s, when their competition increased and the newer breed of heroes took over with ease!
Though world’s first first feature film, originally presented as a talkie ,’The Jazz Singer’, released in October 1927, it took about 4 years more for talkie films to come to India. When it did come in March 1931, there was tremendous enthusiasm amongst the film makers. Initially, however, there was skepticism in the minds of well established silent film makers. Famous film makers like Dadasaheb Phalke and even V Shantaram are on record having expressed their views that talkie films will not survive. However, the same people later on, not only supported the talkie, but V Shantaram became one of the best proponents of Hindi talkie films. Even Dada Saheb Phalke ended his career by making his only Talkie, ‘Gangavataran’ in 1937. (Leela Mishra had acted in it.)
The coming of sound to films changed the film making for ever. Till then what was a fragmented production activity, slowly became an industry. Earlier, silent films were made at a cost of 8 to 10 thousand rupees. Now the talkie needed 25 to 50 thousand per film. Automatically, the hobbyists and poorer film makers disappeared. So did the acting crew who could not speak Hindi fluently or sing a song.
One finds that suddenly, there was a deluge of talented, creative and enterprising people from various professions and different backgrounds to take up the challenges of this new industry. The changing society in India is partly responsible for this deluge. Due to education and attraction to cities, many people were rapidly getting uprooted from their traditional occupations and they looked forward to these opportunities. For example a motor mechanic Sarvottam Badami became a sound recordist (and later, a director too) and a traditional carpenter like S Fattelal became the great set designer in Prabhat films. An ordinary poster painter, Baburao Painter became a director. Many such examples are available. The deluge was made up of producers, directors, sound recordists, writers, lyricists, singers, technical staff and of course the actors and actresses.
Among the first generation of heroes, namely Khalil, Sandow, Sohrab Modi, Master Nissar, Chandramohan, Prithviraj Kapoor, Motilal, Ashok Kumar, Master Vithal, Jal Merchant, Bilimoria brothers and Saigal emerged as the main players. Among actresses Mehtab, Bibbo, Kajjan, Gauhar, Sitara, Sita Devi, Zubeida, Cooper sisters, Sabita Devi, Leela Chitnis, Durga Khote, Devika Rani, Naseem, Jamuna, Kanan Bala etc. became popular.
Master Khalil Ahmed (variously mentioned as Khalil, Master Khalil, and Khalil Ahmed) was the first ever star of the silent era as well as talkie films from 1920 to 1940s. Born in 1903, he became a hero in Kohinoor’s ‘Gul E Bakavali’ (1924), opposite Zubeida. He was the first handsome and macho hero of those times. He acted with all top heroines of his time. Some of his 30 silent films are, ‘Kaala Naag, ‘Kulin Kanta’, ‘Lanka Ni Laadi’, ‘Cinema Queen’ etc.
He featured in his first talkie film, ‘Draupadi’ (1931), made by Imperial, opposite Ermeline (aka Sudhabala ). Then came ‘Daulat Ka Nasha’ (1931), ‘Bharati Mata’ (1932), ‘Niti Vijay’ (1932), Do Rangi Duniya’ (1933) and ‘Saubhagya Sundari’ (1933). In 1934 Khalil went to Calcutta on the invitation of East India Films. His first film in Calcutta was ‘Kismet Ki Kasauti’ (1934). Then he joined Tollywood Studio (Madon Theatres). Here his first film was ‘ Gaibi Gola’ (1935), in which Baby Noorjehan made her debut as a child star.
He was in great demand in Bombay also, so Khalil started doing films in Calcutta and Bombay, by frequently travelling between the two cities. This caused a lot of stress on him, but he always kept his commitments. During this period, he also got married and got children. He settled in Calcutta and travelled often to Bombay to do films there.
Khalil did different roles, including Hindu Gods. He never changed his name. in those days very few Muslim actors kept their real names. Incidentally, during his peak time, there were two more artists named Khalil. One was Khalil Aftab, who was a lyricist and he acted in film ‘Dard E Dil’ (1934) and ‘ The Mill’ (1934) (this latter film was banned and was released later in 1936 as ‘ Ghareeb Parwar’). The other actor was Khalil Khan, who had acted in film ‘Deepak Mahal’ (1940). In all, Khalil acted in 28 Talkie films. He died quite young, on 28-11-1941, at Calcutta. Too much travelling and stress must have taken its toll on him. He was only 38 year old. He left behind a wife with 5 children.
Khalil did 13 films in Calcutta – ‘Kismet Ki Kasauti (1934), ‘Gaibi Gola’ (1935), ‘Miss Manorama’ (1935), ‘Jawaani Ka Nasha’ (1935), ‘Divine Sacrifice’ (1935), ‘Raj Dulari (1936), ‘Bulbul e Iran’ (1936), ‘Parivartan’ (1936), ‘Adarsh Mahila’ (1937), ‘Aflatoon’ (1937), ‘Karmaveer’ (1938), ‘Abla Ki Shakti’ (1941) and ‘Merchant Of Venice’ (1941).
In Bombay, he did 15 films in Bombay – ‘Draupadi’ (1931), Daulat Ka Nasha’ (1931), ‘Bharati Mata’ (1932), ‘Niti Vijay’ (1932), ‘Do Rangi Duniya’ (1933), ‘Saubhagya Sundari’ (1933), Typist Girl (1935), ‘Shaitan Ka Paash’ (1936), ‘Khudai Khidamadgar’ (1937), ‘Kiski Pyaari’ (1937), ‘Kaun Kisi Ka'(1939), ‘Hamara Desh’ (1940), ‘Pyaar’ (1940), ‘Waayada’ (1940) and ‘Taj Mahal’ (1941).
Khalil acted with most of the leading heroines of his time like, Noorjehan (Sr), Jilloo (Zulekha Ibrahim – she was known by Jilloo Bai in her later career), Kajjan- 6 films, Mushtari – 3 films (She died too young, in her teens only), Miss Rose – 2 films, Violet Cooper – 2 films, Radha Rani, Ram Pyari, Begum Akhtar (she was then known as Akhtari Faizabadi), Sulochana, Ameena, Leela Desai, Indurani, Gulab, Ermelin and Sheela etc. Khalil was very good natured and a popular actor among his co stars and producers.
A Muslim by birth, he performed a variety of roles in films. His initial acting phase included roles of Shri Krishna and Shri Ram. Disenchanted by the communal riots during those times, he gave a speech in the Indian Motion Picture Congress, on 4th May 1939. Baburao Patel’s Film India published this extract from his speech- “I have played Hindu Gods in films. I worked under Hindu producers only. I am disturbed by these riots. I am popular among Hindus and Muslims. We are the devotees of Art and Art has no religion.” Indian Film Industry is perhaps the only industry which is mostly a secular one, since its inception. Master Khalil Ahmed was an example of that.
I could not get any information about this film, its story or other details. I was surprised that this song was available on the You Tube channel. The song is sung by Khurshid, Nazir Ahmed and chorus. With this song, film Kaun Kisi Ka-39 makes its Debut on this Blog.

Another of those “aa ha” moments, as I was searching for a song to celebrate an anniversary. Sitting on my hard disk for a long time, I just pulled it up and listened to it, as I searched for a song by Khusheed Bano, And wow, what a wonderful creation this one turns out to be. And with a surprise bonus that saved me some extra effort.
Well actually, this post should have come on board yesterday (18 Apr). Having missed the birth anniversary of Khursheed Bano on 14th April, as I checked the anniversaries page, I found that I was still in time for her anniversary of passing away on 18th April. So I started the search and prep for a song sung by her. As luck would have it, I narrowed down to this wonderful song which is such a pleasing listen.
The twist comes in like this. As I checked from the Geet Kosh in my search, and identified this song from the 1941 film ‘Pardesi’, I noted that the GK lists the singer for this song as Khursheed and chorus. But when I played this song, I was taken by surprise to discover that this song is actually a duet, and that too, a delightful romantic duet. To check on the identity of the male voice, I turned to our dear friend, Girdhari Lal ji (of Jodhpur), and requested him for identification. His response was immediate – the male voice is that of Kantilal.
And then another part clicked into place. I immediately went back to the anniversaries list to confirm, and yes my memory was right. 18th April also is the birth anniversary of singer actor Kantilal. And so the celebrations connected and coalesced together into this one song.
Interesting to note that today’s song is one of those rare combinations wherein we have two actor-singers singing together. Yes, there are other pairs that we can list – Surendra – Noorjehaan, Suraiya – Surendra, KL Saigal – Suraiya, KL Saigal – Khursheed etc. Kantilal is also a singer of certain repute, active during the early years Hindi cinema. He has appeared as an actor, and has sung songs that he has performed himself on screen. He has also given playback to other artists. About today’s song, my take is that this song is not performed by Kantilal himself on screen although he himself is also listed as one of the actors in the film. In all probability he has given playback for Motilal. Motilal used to sing off and on. In some films, we find his name listed as singer, and in some films we see him lip syncing other playback singers. In ‘Pardesi’, he is the lead actor, but his name does not appear in the list of singers. And since, in this film, he is paired opposite to Khursheed, and that she is the other singer in this song, it would follow logically that Motilal is lip syncing Kantilal voice in this song.
Now, for the details. We already have a good set of posts giving details about this film and the artists, I will not attempt to re-present that information. However, I will give the links to where these details can be perused.
About the film – ‘Pardesi’, the film synopsis has been posted by our dear Arun ji, in his post for the song “Ab Kahaan Basera Apna”. In the same post, we also can read a brief biosketch about Khursheed Bano.
Our dear Sadanand ji has also presented another brief about Khursheed in his post for the song “Pehle Jo Mohabbat Se Inkaar Kiya Hotaaa”, also from the same film.
Regarding actor-singer Kantilal, I refer to another post by Arun ji, for the song “Dhanwaalon Ki Duniya Hai Ye, Nirdhan Ke Bhagwaan” from the film ‘Holi’ from 1940.
The film ‘Pardesi’ is from the house of Ranjit Movietone, and is directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi. The list of actors, as per Geet Kosh, is – Motilal, Khurshid, Snehprabha, E Billimoria, Durgesh, Keshari, Kantilal, and Bhagwan Das amongst others. The film has 15 songs listed. The songwriters listed for this film are DN Madhok and PL Santoshi. However, specific songwriter for individual songs, is not identified for all songs. As such also for this song – the specific songwriter is not identified. Music for this film is by Khemchand Prakash.
