HFGK gives the cast of this movie as Bharat Bhooshan, Indu Pal, Krishna Murari, Beena Pal, Kesari, Shivraj, Sapru and others.

The lyrics writers for this movie are Bharat Vyas, Vishwamitr Aadil, Ratan Piya, and Bharti Devi. Records for the songs for this movie were released by Columbia Records.

Today’s song is from an inspirational film Shri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu-1953.

The film was made by Prakash Pictures, which started as makers of C grade action and stunt films, but ended as makers of top class Religious, Mythological and Social films of merit.

This film was directed by one of the owners – Vijay Bhatt. Music was by R.C.Boral. He was probably invited because the Main character belonged to Bengal. Perhaps it was expected to create a musical semblance to the atmosphere in the film suitable for the story. The cast of the film included Bharat bhushan, Ameeta, Durga Khote, Sulochana Chaterjee, B.M.Vyas, Madan Puri, Umakant, Pinakin Shah, Raaj Kumar and a long list of smaller actors.

“Maano Na Maano”(1955) alternatively titled “Believe it or not” and “Andhkaar” was produced by Pranlal K Doshi and directed by B K Adarsh for Movie Entertainers, Bombay. HFGK, in its footnote describes this movoie as Indian’s first psychological drama. The movie failed at the box office so spectacularly that information about its star cast too is not known.

Today’s song is from a much less known film – Aai Bahar-1946.

1946 was an important year in the history of Hindi films. This was the period when the impending Independence of India was on the Anvil and everyone knew that in the year 1947 it would take place. At the same time when the country was to be divided on the basis of Religion and another muslim country Pakistan was to come into existence. Many of the muslims in the film industry were excitedly awaiting their departure from India to the Utopia. This would, naturally, create a lot of vacancies in every department of film making. However, there was enough talent available in the remaining India to fill up the void. Hence from the year 1946 itself there were several debutantes. This made the year 1946 an year of Debuts of several new actors, directors, MDs, Lyricists etc etc.
