Today’s song is the last and final song of the film Son of Sindbad-1958.
So far, hundreds of songs have been discussed from films on Arabian Nights stories of Alladin, Alibaba and Sindbad. In these posts almost all the relevant points have been discussed. So, there is a very little new thing that can be brought out and now such posts look repetitive. But it does not mean that everything is over. There are still many things which can be discussed with new angles and especially new information found on the older artists can be brought out.
Film Son of Sindbad-1958 was a creation of Producer Ram kamlani and Balwant Bhatt, for their banner Neo Lite films, Bombay. Directed by the expert of such films, Nanabhai Bhatt aka Batuk Bhatt, it had music by the Melody maker Chitragupt. The cast of the film consisted of premnath, Jabeen, Purnima, Nishi, Shammi, Kuldip Kaur, Cuckoo, Rinku, Saroj, Heera, Bhagwan, Tiwari, Sunder and the usual C grade artists.
Alibaba, Alladin and Sindbad were popular characters during our school days. Not only books of their stories but also films made on them were the targets of all children in those days. It was a thrilling experience to get a book on one of these Heroes, as a gift on “Happy Birthday” ! I am not very sure if today’s young children read these stories. I doubt if they even know these names. These boys seem to favour Harry Potter stories, while the young girls are lost on reading Mills and Boon novels, I suppose ! The big fat book ‘Stories of Arabian Nights’ was the most sought after book (in spite of 5 copies) in our school library. Stories of Alibaba, Alladin, Sindbad the sailor, Hatimtai, Gul Bakavali etc enchanted us.
Arabian Night stories evolved through a story which took place in Persia. King Shahriyar became a woman hater after he found that his wife was unfaithful to him. He not only killed her, but he started marrying a new girl every time and on the second day of marriage the wife would be killed to avoid unfaithfulness.
The legend says that Scheherazade, the beautiful young daughter of the Vizier, decided to marry King Shahriyar, against wishes of her family. On the first night of marriage, she started telling him a story which she left unfinished. Curious to know the story’s end, the king postponed her killing. On every night Scheherazade employed the same technique-keeping the story unfinished. Thus she continued 1001 stories on 1001 nights. Finally the king changed his opinion and pardoned his wife.
As always, the creative heads in the story departments of filmmakers invented titles like ‘Alladin Ka Beta’, ‘Alladin Ki Beti’, ‘Alladin And Laila’ etc. Similarly son and daughter were gifted to Alibaba and Sinbad and films made on them. The funniest title was ‘Sindbad, Alibaba and Alladin’ (1965) ! On a quick check of HFGK entries for the 1940s decade we find that as many as 9 films were made in 1946 alone on these characters. Added were ‘Baghdad Ka Chor’, ‘Hoor e Baghdad’, ‘Sher e Baghdad’, ‘Arab Ka Chand’ and ‘Shah e Misr’ – in which actor Ajit debuted with his real name Hamid.
Most of these stories took place in the Middle East cities which were land locked. However, one character Sindbad was a sailor and his stories of adventures and voyages to magical, strange and unbelievable places were mind boggling. He was equally popular as Alibaba and Alladin.
The fertile imagination of the members of ‘Story Departments’ of studios must be appreciated. Films like ‘Son of Alibaba’ (1955), ‘Son of Hatimtai’ (1965), ‘Son of Sindbad’ (1958) and also ‘Daughter of Sindbad’ (1958) were made. The original book of Arabian Nights does not have any such stories of their progeny (what’s more, films like ‘Daughters of India’ (1938) and even ‘Son of India’ (1962) were made). The funniest title of a film was ‘Sindbad, Alibaba and Alladin’ which was made in 1965. I did not see that film, because I did not want to spoil my sweet memories of these 3 heroes !
The story of this film was….
Towards the end of his life, Sindbad decided to settle down to Public Service and Meditation. He was a man of Justice. His only son Yusuf was adventurous and daring. He wanted to become as famous as his father, if not more. Once during an altercation, his opponent gets killed. Yusuf is arrested for murder and brought before his father. Sindbad sentences his son to death. Meanwhile Yusuf’s beloved admits that not Yusuf but she murdered the man and Yusuf was trying to shield her. She is asked to leave this country by the next morning or get a death sentence. Yusuf objects and he too is sentenced to leave with her the next day.
Next day, before Yusuf leaves the country, Sindbad gives him 3 pieces of advice – never to be proud, never to forget God and never trust women. After they leave the next day, that night one of the cousins of Yusuf – Shahnaz – comes to Sindbad and tells him that Yusuf was being cheated by the killed person and his beloved, who were the actual lovers. They wanted to kill Sindbad and Yusuf to become the King of their country. Hearing this, Sindbad asks, then why she killed him. The cousin, Shahnaz, tells that it was Shahnaz who killed him and not his lover.
The king recalls Yusuf and his lover. After interrogation the lover accepts everything. The king awards the death sentence to the lover girl and Yususf is married to Shahnaz.
The hero of this film was Premnath. Premnath Malhotra (21 November 1926 – 03 November 1992), known as Prem nath, was an actor, director and also a singer.
He was born in the Karimpura locality near Ghanta Ghar in Peshawar, (undivided India) now in Pakistan. His family moved to Jabbalpore, now Jabalpur, in Madhya Pradesh after partition & he moved to Bombay, where he was discovered as an actor.
Premnath married actress Bina Rai. Their children are actor Prem Krishen and Kailash Nath (Monty). They are also grandparents of actress Akanksha Malhotra and director Siddharth Malhotra who are Prem Krishen’s children. Adiraj Malhotra & Arjun Malhotra are the sons of Kailash Nath. His sister Krishna married Raj Kapoor, while his other sister Uma was married to veteran Hindi Film actor Prem Chopra. His brothers Rajendranath and Narendranath were also actors who mostly appeared in comic and supporting roles. He was also a close friend of the actress Asha Parekh.
Premnath made his film debut in “Ajit” 1948 opposite Monica Desai, which was one of the first colour films. He got major roles in Raj Kapoor’s first directorial film “Aag” & “Barsaat” (1949) which was his first major success. Premnath went on to appear in many films for the next three decades, some of which were the biggest block-busters in Indian film history. The films in which he played the leading role failed to do well, but the films in which he played the central villain role or supporting role were some of the biggest blockbusters in Indian film history. Some his most notable films were Aan (1952), Teesri Manzil (1966), Johny Mera Naam (1970),Tere Mere Sapne (1971), Roti Kapada Aur Makaan (1974), Dharmatma (1975), Kalicharan (1976) and Desh Premee (1982). He also starred in the Punjabi film Sat Sri Akal (1977).
Premnath fell in love with actress Bina Rai during the filming of “Aurat”. They married and formed a production company together called P. N. films. They held high hopes for their films, which didn’t become hits, such as Shagufa, Prisoner of Golconda, Samunder and Watan. Thus, the Premnath & Bina Rai pair never clicked on the screen.
Premnath earned Filmfare nominations as Best Supporting Actor for Shor (1972), Bobby (1973), Amir Garib (1974) and Roti Kapda Aur Makaan (1974). But he never got any award.
Apart from Hindi films, he also appeared in an episode of the American television series “Maya” in 1967 & a 1969 American film titled “Kenner Sandy” opposite former American football player turned actor Jim Brown. He also directed the film Samundar (1957) for his home production house P. N. films, which was its production. His last film appearance was in “Hum Dono” (1985) after which he retired from acting.
He acted in 121 films. His last film was Farz ki Keemat-1985. He directed 2 films- Golkonda ka qaidi-1954 and Samunder-1957. He sang 5 songs in 5 films.( He was a trained singer).
Premnath died on 03 November 1992 of a heart attack at the age of sixty-five in Mumbai.
(adapted from an article by Suresh Sarvaiya ji and book ” The stars of Indian Screen” by Baburao Patel.)
One of the artists was Purnima. Purnima, born at Bombay on 2-3-1932 as Meher Bano, was the daughter of a Lucknow Muslim mother and a Tamil Brahmin father-Ram Seshadri Iyengar. He was working in the Distribution office of Kikubhai Desai (father of Man Mohan Desai) the producer and director. While still in school Purnima started working in Hindi and Gujarati films from 1947 itself when she was hardly 15-16 year old. She also got married to Shaukat Hashmi. After giving her a son and a divorce, he migrated to Pakistan.
In 1954, Purnima married Producer/director Bhagvandas Varma and she stopped working. Her elder sister Shirin Banu, also had married Producer director Nanubhai Bhatt.Their sons are Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt. Purnima resumed working in films, when Bhagwandas was in financial difficulties in 1957. He died in 1962.
Purnima was Heroine or second lead in about 20 films. Her well known films are, Thes-49, patanga-49, Jogan-50, Gauna-50, Sagai-51, Badal-51, Shagufa-53, Pooja-54, Bhai Saheb-54, P.B.No. 999-58, Son of Sindbad-58,Kangan-59, Naya kanoon-65, Guide-65, Budtameez-66, Humjoli-70 etc etc. In all she acted in 152 films, though she claimed more than 200 films, in one of her interviews. Her last film was Sada Suhagan-86, after which she retired. Her friends were Saira Bano, Shakeela,and Dulari. Purnima died on 14-8-2013 in Mumbai.
Here is the last and final song of this film, sung by Lata and Geeta Dutt. Enjoy….

Remembering Nalini Jayawant (18/02/1926 – 20/12/2010) on the occasion of her 100th birth anniversary today, February 18, 2026. She was one of the top actress of the golden period of 1950s of Hindi films. Unfortunately, like Suraiya, Nalini Jaywant also took early retirement from films when her films of the 1960s failed one after another. Once voted as a most photogenic face of Hindi films, she spent her post-retirement life as a recluse to such an extent that her death on December 20, 2010, got noticed only after a couple of days.
Nalini Jaywant had two distinct phases of her filmy career. The first phase began with her debut film ‘Radhika’ (1941) produced by Chimanbhai Desai and directed by his son, Virendra Desai. In this film, she sang for herself. Her second film to release was Mehboob Khan’s ‘Bahen’ (1941) where she was paired with Sheikh Mukhtar in the role of his younger sister. This was followed by ‘Nirdosh’ (1941) with Mukesh, ‘Aankh Michauli’ (1942) with Satish Batra and ‘Aadab Arz’ (1943) with Karan Diwan. These films did not work out good in the box office front but Nalini Jaywant established herself in the Hindi film industry as an accomplished actress.
Sometime in 1945, Nalini Jaywant married Virendra Desai who was already married with children. This was not liked by his father, Chimanbhai Desai who expelled Virendra Desai from the house and removed him from his film production company, Amar Films. Later, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai signed a 2-year contract with Filmistan, as an actress and as a director, respectively. However, both of them did not get any assignment during the period of contract. This gap was long enough for the film industry to forget their existence. Once the contract with Filmistan came to an end, Nalini Jaywant and Virendra Desai jointly produced ‘Gunjan’ (1948) which failed at the box. Soon Nalini Jaywant divorced Virendra Desai in 1948.
The second phase of Nalini Jaywant’s filmy career started with ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948) with Dilip Kumar and Nargis. This film gave her new lease of life in her filmy career. Film critics praised her in the role of a flower girl. ‘Shikast’ (1953) was a milestone in her career in which she paired with Dilip Kumar. She got a rare praise from Dilip Kumar for her brilliant performance in the film.
The real take off in her filmi career came from ‘Samaadhi’ (1950) in which she paired with Ashok Kumar for the first time. This was followed by another big success for her in ‘Sangraam’ (1950), once again pairing with Ashok Kumar. The success of Ashok Kumar-Nalini Jaywant combination resulted in both working together in as many as 11 films during 1950-58.
The box office success of ‘Naastik’ (1954) in which she was paired with Ajit resulted her working with Ajit in 11 films. Her pairing with Dev Anand in ‘Munimji’ (1955) and with Shammi Kapoor in ‘Ham Sab Chor Hain’ (1956) resulted in box office success of these films. For her performance in ‘Kala Paani’ (1958) with Dev Anand, she got the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress award. But after this film, Nalini Jaywant did not have films much to talk about. From the beginning of the 1960s, film offers started declining. Many new leading actresses like Asha Parekh, Sadhana and Saira Bano had joined the film industry.
The box office failure of ‘Amar Rahe Ye Pyaar’ (1961) jointly produced by Radhakrishan and Prabhu Dayal and directed by Prabhu Dayal financially broke both of them. While Radhakrishan committed suicide, Prabhu Dayal who by that time had married Nalini Jaywant, became an alcohol addict. ‘Bombay Racecourse’ (1965) was virtually her last film in a lead role though, Toofan Main Pyaar Kahaan; (1966) was her last released film in the lead role. After the release of these two films, she had almost retired from her filmy career until she accepted character roles in two films, ‘Bandish’ (1980) and ‘Naastik’ (1983).
In a rare interview of Nalini Jaywant published in the Deccan Herald after her death in 2010, she regretted that she could get to show her acting prowess only in films like ‘Anokha Pyaar’ (1948), ‘Sangraam’ (1950), ‘Shikast’ (1953), ‘Raahi’ (1953) and ‘Kaala Paani’ (1958). She said that she was not interested in making a comeback in films when the offer came for a character role in ‘Naastik’ (1983). But she had to accept it after many requests from Pran and Promod Chakravarty.
Nalini Jayawant died of a heart attack but was found dead after 3 days of her death in her bungalow by neighbours, due to the continuing howling by her two pet dogs. She was staying alone after the death of her husband, Prabhu Dayal in 2001 and was leading a life of a recluse with a couple of pet dogs to give her the company. A distant relative of her is said to have taken her body on a municipal ambulance and cremated her.
On the occasion of Nalini Jaywant’s 100th birth anniversary, I have selected a song from ‘Toofaan Mein Pyaar Kahaan’ (1966), her last film in the lead role and also her last film with Ashok Kumar in lead roles. I had already given the film’s detailed story in my article while covering one of its song, le pee zaraa aur pee. The gist of the story is as under:
Shamu (Ashok Kumar) is a truck driver of Mahajan (Tiwari), a smuggler who indulges in business of smuggled good across the border with Sikkim. He lives in a den with Mahajan and others when they are not on duty. Although Shamu feels bad about serving Mahajan for his smuggling activities, he has to do this for taking care of Rami (Achala Sachdev), a Tibetan and her daughter as promised by him at the time of the death of her husband.
In a different village, Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) is being readied to depart for her marriage with Raimohan (Tarun Bose) against her wish. She runs away from the house. Shamu gives her shelter in his den in an adjoining room with a condition that she should find a different place to stay as his den is full of bad people. Shanta finds Shamu a kind-hearted person. Next day, Mahajan visits the den, Shanta introduces herself as the wife of Shamu for her own safety. Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar), who runs a tea shop and is in love with Shamu, does not believe that Shanta is Shamu’s wife. By now Shamu has fallen in love with Shanta and has decided to propose her for the marriage. One day, Shamu visits her room to propose her for the marriage. He sees a letter written by Raimohan to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for hand in marriage. Next morning, before Shanta could explain to Shamu about Raimohan, she finds that Shamu has left the place with Pulma.
Raimohan with the help of Mahajan conspire to kidnap Shanta to sell her across the border at a high price. Shanta now takes shelter in Rami’s house from where she is kidnapped by Raimohan and Mahajan. When Shamu comes to know about Shanta’s kidnapping, he takes out his truck with Pulma and follows the jeep in which Shanta is being taken. While driving on a jig jag hill road, the jeep roles down from road to valley killing Shanta, Raimohan and Mahajan. While consoling Shamu, Pulma reiterates her love for him.
The film had eight songs written by Prem Dhawan which were set to music by Chitragupt. Three songs have been covered on the Blog. On the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of Nalini Jaywant, I am presenting a song, ‘jaane kaisa hai ye pyaar’ rendered by Lata Mangeshkar and picturised on Nalini Jaywant.
The context of the song is that after Shamu (Ashok Kumar) gives shelter to a runaway girl Shanta (Nalini Jaywant) in his den, she has started liking him for his kind heartedness which soon turns into her love for him. But she is not sure whether he loves her. In this song, Shanta expresses her feelings toward Shamu and doubts whenter Shamu knows about her feelings toward him. Later, she comes to know about his reciprocal feelings toward her through Pulma (Jayshree Gadkar). With this, Shanta expects that Shamu would propose her in his next meeting. Shamu does come to her room with the intention of proposing her. However, in her room, Shamu gets a letter to read which is a letter written by Raimohan (Tarun Boase) to Shanta about their impending marriage. He assumes that Shanta is in love with Raimohan, and he has no right to ask for her hand in marriage. Before she could explain the reality, Shamu has left his place of dwelling.

Today’s song is from the social film Parichay-1954.
Selection of an apt and fitting Title for the film, which makes a statement on the film’s content, has always been a daunting challenge to filmmakers. There are many film titles which are appropriate, but more titles are far off from the film’s content, misleading the viewers. Parichay-1954 is one such film. The film tries to glorify the sanctity of a marriage and how it should be carried on, but its title does not have any connection with this philosophy.
The film was produced by Radheshyam Jhunjhunwalla under his own banner, J.J.Films, Bombay. It was directed by an expert director- Satyen Bose. The music to the film’s 8 songs was shared by Sailesh Mukherjee and Vedpal Verma. The cast of the film was Shashikala, Abhi Bhattacharya, Pranoti Ghosh (wife of Abhi Bhattacharya in real life), Sajjan (Purohit), Zebunnisa (an actress from the silent era), Panchotia, Shakuntala, Indira Chitnis, Dhumal, Kesarbai (elder sister of actress Indira Wadkar and paternal aunt of actress Hansa Wadkar) and others. Songs were written by Keshav (5) and Akhtar Yusuf(2).

My tribute to the Greatest singer ever – Lata Mangeshkar
I’m delayed by a couple of days to give my shradhanjali to the great departed soul, Lata Mangeshkar. Voices like hers don’t belong to a single era; they belong to eternity. Her melodies will continue to echo in our hearts forever.
For over seven decades, her voice floated through radios, cinema halls, wedding stages, lonely train journeys, and quiet midnight moments. It was the sound of first love, of longing, of devotion, of patriotism, of heartbreak that was beautiful rather than bitter. When Lata ji sang, emotions didn’t feel performed — they felt remembered.
There was something almost otherworldly about her voice. Crystal-clear yet deeply human, delicate yet unwavering, it could carry the innocence of a young girl, the grace of a devoted lover, or the quiet strength of a woman who had endured life’s storms.
