Today’s song is a duet from the film Sajni-1956. This song is of some significance. It is a song sung by a pair of Husband-wife. Of course this is not unique. Earlier also there were a few such songs by Husband-wife pairs. What is significant is that this was their last duet in a film. The pair was Sudhir Phadke and Lalita Deulkar Phadke. What’s more, with this song Lalita ended her film singing career also !
Film Sajni-1956 was not a famous film. In fact it was an obscure film, hardly known to most people. Produced by a couple – P.R.Patkar and Isabel Clifford, the film was directed by Vasant rao Painter. He was the nephew (son of Anandrao Painter) of the famous Kala Maharshi Baburao Painter, owner of the Maharashtra Film Company, Kolhapur. Many stalwarts of the early Silent and Talkie films emerged from this film company, where they got an all round training in filmmaking. Some of the famous names are V.Shantaram, Master Vinayak, Baburao Pendharkar, Fattelal, Damle, Dhaibar etc.
Vasant Anandrao Painter was born in a village near Kolhapur on 13-8- 1913. His father Anandrao, along with cousin Baburao Painter wanted to make films. Anandrao had bought a second hand Projector, which he turned into a Camera and shot a short film also. Unfortunately, Anandrao Mistry or Anandrao Painter died suddenly on 22-10-1915.Vasant Painter was only a 2 year old baby at that time. Baburao Painter went on to become the famous founder of Marathi films in the Silent Era.
By the time Vasant became 16 year old,the Silent film era was in full swing and many films were made in Kolhapur, Poona and Bombay. He had a liking for painting,so he picked up poster painting work,first in Maharashtra Film company and later in Prabhat film company when it was started in Kolhapur. Actually Damle and Fatelal were keen on helping him as he was the son of Anandrao, from whom they had learnt so many things. They called him to work in Prabhat. He did all jobs,including assisting in cinematography and direction.
His first break came when he was 33 year old. He got an opportunity to direct Prabhat’s film ” Gokul”-46 and later on ” Seedha Raasta”-47. After V.Shantaram had left Prabhat to start his own Rajkamal,Vasnt painter remained in Prabhat loyally, so he got the reward. Prabhat decided to make the film “Namdev” and Vasant was selected as a director. The cast was fixed and other arrangements done, but due to financial reasons the film was cancelled. Anyway, he got another opportunity. Actress Kamala Kotnis had floated a production company,Kamala Chitra Ltd..She invited Painter to direct her film,’Sati Ahilya’-49. Snehal Bhatkar was the MD.
Painter directed ‘Bhishma Pratignya’-1950. This was, probably,the only Mythological film Nargis had acted in, with Shahu Modak. His other films were, Murliwala-51, Devyani-52, Sajni-56, Patit paawan-55, Gokul ka chor-59, Pyar ki jeet-62 . Meanwhile he was producing and directing several Marathi films too. He won 9 awards,including the prestigious ” V.Shantaram Award”. Vasant painter died on 31-5-2006, leaving behind him 6 daughters and 1 son.
The film had music by Sudhir Phadke and his assistant for this film was Vishnu Govind Jog, who became a world famous Violinist in his later life. He played in several concerts all over the world, including the Madison Square Garden in New York. He was a Sangeet and Natak Academy Award winner in 1980 and Padma Bhushan in 1983. The cast of the film was Sulochana, Anup Kumar, Lalita Pawar, Sapru, Krishna Kumari, Gope, Maruti, Nimbalkar and many others. The songs were written by Narendra Sharma (5 songs) and today’s song was by Nakshab Jarachavi.
Like any other language, there are writers and authors in Marathi too, who write on old films and old actors etc from the vintage Hindi films. One such author calls himself ” Babu Moshoi “. His articles are published regularly in newspapers, magazines etc. He has written several books. His real name is Hemant Desai. Another such writer in Hindi and Gujarati is Vithal Pandya. I have many such books in my library. Through these books I get to know old actors and their information, sometimes. I get surprised at many names as I read about some names about whom I had never known. For example, do you know who did King Dashrath’s role in films Bharat Milap-42 and Ramrajya-43, or the role of Kanva Muni in film Shakuntala-43 ? Who was the actress in Kaushalya’s role in Ramrajya-43 or Ram Vivah-49 ?
This actor was I. T. Nimbalkar and this actress was Shanta Kothari (nee Shanta Kumari). These were artistes from Silent film era, spilled over the Talkie films. They started as Hero and Heroine, but shifted to character roles, as the time went by. In our film industry, such cases are not new. In fact such type of actors who remained practically unknown to later generations of audiences, were highly respected by film people during shootings. Their seniority and work was respected.
This is a very good practice in the industry, by directors and other actors to give respect to old timers. Raj Kapoor used to send his car to fetch Bhudo Advani for shootings of film Boot Polish scenes. Hrishikesh Mukherjee kept special chair for Master Shiraz, during the shooting of film Guddi. He also ensured to feature Shiraz in the film credits. These are only samples to stress what I have said. Not every such matter is published but it is a special feature of the industry.
I try to gather information on such unknown and forgotten artistes and write on them. Not everytime I am successful, but I have written about many such actors, directors, Music Directors etc. Some of them are Omkar Devaskar, Zunzar rao Pawar, Ganapat rao Bakare, Shankar rao Vazare, Naseem Junior, Shamim Jr, Altaf, Urmila, Ranjana, Kusum Deshpande, Vasant rao Thengadi, Jamshed ji etc etc. Today, we will know more about one such old time actor who was prolific and worked in films of Bombay and Calcutta.
I.T.Nimbalkar aka Indurao T. Nimbalkar ( he was always credited as only ‘Nimbalkar’ in all films) was born on 6-12-1893, in Kolhapur state. This was the time Kolhapur was slowly developing as Kalapur (hub of arts) and the seeds of film making were being planted there. Baburao Painter, one of the original film makers had started his ” Maharashtra Film Company” on 1-12 1917.
Baburao, Damle, Fattelal etc were taught painting By Anandrao Painter, who was an extraordinary painter of those times. All these people, along with V Shantaram, Keshavrao Dhaiber and few more also joined Baburao Painter’s Maharashtra Film company. True that, film making had started even earlier in Maharashtra, but Baburao Painter is credited with making films a form of art and spreading it on a larger canvas of India.
Indurao Nimbalkar grew up in this atmosphere in Kolhapur. He passed his Matriculation exam and also did a diploma in Printing. Nimbalkar was six feet tall and had a good physique. He was expert in riding, swimming and wrestling. He did 1000 sit-ups every day. Shahu Maharaj, the king of Kolhapur encouraged all arts as well as development of lower castes. Arya Samaj had a ‘ Gurukul’ in Kolhapur. Impressed with Nimbalkar’s education and body, Shahu ji appointed him as Editor of the weekly ‘ Arya’ and secretary of Gurukul.
One day Baburao Painter, along with assistant V Shantaram visited his press and offered Nimbalkar a role in his proposed film Sairandhri. Shahu Maharaj also permitted and encouraged him ,so Nimbalkar joined the film line. He was already famous due to his fiery editorials and now people came to see his shootings too. However, due to money shortage, the film did not complete. ( It was later made in 1919, but with different cast. V Shantaram made coloured Sairandhri in 1933 with Nimbalkar again).
Nimbalkar acted in many silent films like Baji Deshpande, Khazanchi (directed by Moti gidwani- England returned), Lanka, Kismet (directed by Baburao Patel) etc etc. After the closure of Maharashtra F. Co., Nimbalkar was invited by V Shantaram to do Vishvamitra’s role in its first Talkie film ” Ayodhya ka Raja” -1932, in Hindi and Marathi. After this, he did Jalti Nishani-32, Sairandhri-33, Maya Machhindra-32, Sinhagadh-23 etc.
After this, Nimbalkar went to Calcutta on invitation and worked in films made by Radha Films, Laxmi Studios, Devdatta films and New Theatres. From 1934 to 1938, he acted in 12 Hindi films. He was provided a Bungalow, car with driver, servants etc. His son studied in local school there. Returning to Bombay he worked as an assistant director to Keshavrao Dhaiber for film ‘Nandkumar’-38, made by his Jayashree Films. Next 2 years he shuttled between Calcutta and Bombay. He did King Dashrath’s role in Prakash films’ Bharat Milap-42 and Ramrajya-43 in this period.
He was invited by V Shantaram for acting in his first film under banner of Rajkamal- Shakuntala-43. Nimbalkar did the role of Kanva Muni in it. He later also acted in Jeevan yatra-46, Subah ka tara-54, Parchhain-52, Teen batti char rasta-53, Toofan aur Diya-56, Z Z Payal baje-55. Earlier he did Aapki sewa mein-47, Prarthana-44,Nal Damayanti-45, Seedha Rasta-41, Gokul-46, Apna Ghar-42, Maharathi karna-44, Seeta Swayamvar-48. He worked in Pyasa-57, Mera Naam Joker-70, Amar Prem-60 etc etc. From 1928 to 1970 he acted in over 250 films.
His wife Sushila was also educated and looked after his home and children. She never visited any sets in her life time. Nimbalkar died on 17-1-1973 at Kolhapur. (Thanks to an article in book Chandraat-चांदरात by Babu Moshoi, in addition to my notes, HFGK, muVyz, CRTWF, Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema and Film India magazines).
Two interesting trivias before I conclude this post. The first is Sudhir Phadke and Lalita Deulkar got married on 29-5-1949. Phadke’s close friend Mohd. Rafi did one wonderful thing. He sang a specially prepared and well rehearsed ” Mangalashtak” (an 8 stanza Marriage song in Marathi) in their marriage !
The second trivia is, Lalita became a famous singer with a duet with Rafi “Hum ko tumhara hi aasra” from film SAAJAN-1947 and she ended her career with a duet from film SAJNI-1956 !
(Acknowledement- I sincerely thank Shri Syed Zafar Shah ji for making the above very rare song available to us for discussion, on my request. He has always been very helpful.)
With today’s song, all songs of this film are covered and the film is YIPPEED !

Today’s song is from the film Gol Nishan-1936.
The first Talkie film came in 1931. The first year had just 24 films, but within a span of 3 years, the Talkie films crossed the century mark, with 121 films in 1934, 152 in 1933 and 134 in 1936. Making a film was a complicated process which needed a studio, the latest machinery and a lot of money. This was difficult for a single person and thus the Studio System got established. The studios ruled the industry and the film making. Films were sold on the names of the studios and the actors had secondary appeal to the audience.
There were three major film centres in 1936 – Bombay, Calcutta and Poona. In Bombay, studios like Imperial, Bombay Talkies, Sagar Movietone, Ranjit etc were big names. In Calcutta, New Theatres and East India Film Corporation were major players. Prabhat film company was famous from Poona. This was the position in 1936. Like any other industry, the film industry too needed an organisation of the big players, so that the workers had no upper hand on them. Accordingly, “Indian Motion Pictures Association” (IMPA) was established first in Bombay, followed by Bengal Motion Picture Association in Calcutta. Poona, being in the Bombay Presidency, did not have a separate organization.
1936 saw the formation of Huns Pictures by Master Vinayak and Baburao Pendharkar. The year was noteworthy for Prabhat Film company as one of its directors, Keshavrao Dhaibar had to leave the company, for marrying one of the company’s employee-actress Nalini Tarkhud and thus breaking the company’s rule not to marry an employee ! Much later, even V.Shantaram had to leave Prabhat when he married actress Jayashree, an employee of Prabhat !!
Let us now take a look at some important films of 1936….
The year was notable for the type of films it produced. The initial limitation of making films only on Mythologicals or folk stories slowly changed over to social issues and problems. As such, due to the British rule Indians had started following lot of western manners, dressing pattern and our traditions were giving way to modern ways of developing countries like the Europe or the America.
From Calcutta came 3 films of New Theatres, Manzil, Maya and Karodpati. Manzil was a love story of a rich boy and a poor boy loving the same girl. Maya was a story of a rich wayward girl and an orphan girl in her house loving the same boy. Karodpati was a comedy enacted by Saigal and Molina Devi.
Bombay Talkies had 4 films, but only 2 were note worthy. The first was Jeevan Naiya, which saw Ashok Kumar becoming a reluctant Hero (he was only a Lab-Technician) opposite Devika Rani. The other film was Achut Kanya – a film based on the ills of Untouchability.
The year 1936 was memorable because of films from Prabhat, which made the film Amar Jyoti, showing Durga Khote as a Lady Pirate. The film was made on Grand scale and in such a way that it was much ahead of its time !
The other important film was Sant Tukaram in Marathi. The film ran for one year in Bombay theatres. The role of the wife of Tukaram was done by an actress, who was a sweeper in the studio before this film, but she excelled in her role. Her name was Tanibai Davari. This was the first film to celebrate the Golden Jubilee at many places. It won the honour of ” One of the 3 Greatest films of the world” award at Venice Film Festival in 1937.
Sagar Movietone launched actor singer Surendra with the film Deccan Queen. The other film was Manmohan, which copied the film Devdas, by becoming a tragedy of a heart broken lover. Some other notable films were Sunehra Sansar by East India company, introducing Vijay Kumar from Shimla and K.N.Singh. K.N.Singh also debuted as a Hero in the only film Bandit of the Air from the same company. There were films like Jay Bharat from the Wadias, Passing Show from Prakash films and Said E Hawas from Minerva Movietone. Film Maa from Prafull Pictures used ” Vande Mataram” for the first time in a film. Film Shokh Dilruba had 150 kissing scenes (there was no restriction from Censors then). First Talkie Seeta Vivah from Orissa also came.
Today’s film Gol Nishan-1936 was produced by Navbharat Movietone, Bombay. This costume film was perhaps based on the famous story of Zorro by Johnston McCulley in 1919. It was based on a Mexican folktale. The immediate inspiration was from the silent film – The mark of Zorro-1920. In this film Zorro, the swordsman makes a sign of Z with his sword before leaving any place. In the Indian version, Gol Nishan, the masked Heroine makes a sign of a Zero, with her sword ! That is why the second name of this film was The mark of Zero. The cast of the film was Navinchandra, Gauhar Karnataki, Amrutlal, Brijmala and others.
The name Gauhar is a part of ” The Same Name Confusion”. We find a lot many Gauhars as singers or actresses, as following….
Gauhar Jaan of Sholapur-Singer
Gauhar Jaan of Patiala- Singer
Gauhar Jaan of Calcutta-Singer
Gauhar Sultana of Lucknow-Singer
Gauhar of the Parsi Theatre-Actress
Gauhar Mamajiwal-Actress and
Gauhar Karnataki- Actress
Gauhar Karnataki, heroine of the film Gol Nishan was the sister of the famous actress-Singer Amirbai Karnataki. Tabla player Hussain Khan, living in a small town Belagi, near Hubli, had 6 daughters. The first was Allamma(Ahilya),then Amirbai, next was Gauhar(Born in 1908), then a series of badi Munni,Chhoti Munni and Nanhi Munni. Son was Dastgir.
Being from a poor family, Amirbai and Gauhar(Gauramma) worked in a drama company called Vanivilas Natak mandali. Since Hubli, Dharwad, Belgaum came under Bombay Presidency and were also near Sangli/Miraj and Kolhapur, the sisters were experts in Marathi too.
Brother Dastgir went on to study B.Sc and did a job in AIR, Belgaum. From the beginning only, Amirbai and Gauhar did not get on well with each other. Maybe professional jealousy. Gauhar got classical music training from a blind teacher Nilkanth Panchakshari Buwa. Great classical singer Mallikarjuna Mansur’s brother Basavanna wrote songs for Gauhar and also accompanied her on Harmonium.
Marathi singer actor Chaphekar took the sisters to Bombay for working in films. Gauhar and Chaphekar stayed as companions in Bombay for a few years. Meanwhile Gauhar got a daughter Ashamma. Her father’s name is not known. Ashamma remained with Gauhar till her death.
Gauhar started acting in Marathi and Hindi films. She acted, sang and also composed her own songs, but no records were brought out.
Gauhar was mesmerised by the famous Marathi singer actor BAL GANDHARVA. She first met him in 1937, in actor Himalayawala’s flat(Amirbai karnataki’s cruel Husband). It is widely believed that Gauhar used Black magic to attract Bal Gandharva to her. As expected he fell in her love and Gauhar joined his Balgandharva natak mandali in 1938. After her arrival into the mandali, all senior artistes left the company as they were afraid of Gauhar’s black magic.
From 1938, Gauhar remained with Balgandharva till she died in 1964. Balgandharva’s wife died in grief in 1940 and Gauhar married Balgandharva in 1951.
She acted in films like Raas vilas-32, Kala Pahad and Sohni mahiwal-33, Kala vagh and Shak karta Shivaji(M)-34, Pyar ki Maar-35, Bansriwala, Gol Nishan and Graduate-36, Kala Bhoot and Chabuk swar-37, Vijay Danka-38, Hawai khatola and Swadesh sewa-46. Chabuk sawaar-37 was a stunt film a-la Fearless Nadiya style wherein she did some stunts and fencing too. (Thanks to lifekidhun, warren senders, wiki and HFGK for some information used above.)
Gauhar is mentioned as Gauhar Karnataki or Gauhar from Bijapur in the HFGK. She must have sung at least 100 songs but since there were no records, there is no information. As her many films were C grade, no redords were issued even for them. However she has sung many Marathi natyageet and Bhajans. There can not be any comparison with her sister Amirbai since Amirbai was in a higher league and her records were also made. She had many composers and singers to sing along.
Here is some rare information of the film’s hero- Navinchandra…..
Navinchandra’s full name was Navinchandra N. Joshi. He was born in 1907 at Jambusar and belonged to a Gujarati Bramhin family. When he was studying Intermidiate, his dream was to do M.Sc. and become a Professor. He was very much interested in body building and was a weight lifter. He was expert in Long jump, High jump and Malkhamb too, along with yogasanas. This made his body solid. Fair and handsome physique was noticed by one of the seniors in his Gym and he was taken to Bombay to meet produced director Indulal Yagnik. He offered him a Hero’s role in a stunt film. Thus Navin entered the film line with first silent stunt movie “The fall of Pawagarh”-1928. It was produced by Indulal Yagnik and directed by Nagendra Mujumdar. His first Heroine was Iris Crawford. He worked in more than 20 silent films and was famous as the Hero of Stunt and action films.
His first Talkie film was Kala Pahad-1933 in which his Heroine was Gauhar Karnataki ( sister of Amirbai Karnataki and wife of Marathi stage artiste Bal Gandharv). The film was made by Sharda Movietone and directed by Baburao Apte (brother of actress Shanta Apte). Navinchandra acted in 33 talkie films, mostly stunt and action films. When the attraction of stunt films waned, he stopped getting roles, because stunt films were not being made now on roll. His last film was Jadui Putli-1946.
His age also caught up with him and he stopped getting films. He started doing small uncredited roles like an extra. The last information about him was when he was working as a Production manager in Imperial Film company, where now the studio was rented to other producers for shooting their films, by Irani’s heirs. One peculiar thing about Navinchandra was that except for the film’s required costume, he was always seen in Dhoti and Kurta only.
Today’s song was sung by Gauhar Karnataki. Lyrics were by Dr. Dhaniram Prem. Music Director’s name is not given in HFGK also. The songs sounds typically like a Natyageet, i.e. stage drama song. That was the trend in those times.
Enjoy this 88 year old song….

Today’s song is from an old film Paak Daman-1940.
Actually, I need not have written ” from an old film”, because my name is now firmly connected with old films only. This is in spite of my posts on a fair number of films and songs from 1970 to 2016 also. However branding and the label has stuck to me pucca.
We in India, love to brand everything. For example, Dilip Kumar was branded as’ Tragedy King’, as in his initial career, he had done tragedy roles and in 7 of his early films, he had ‘died’ at the end. However, he had also done a variety of roles including comedy roles in films like Aazad, Ram aur Shyam and many other social, comedy, historical, emotional, musical and other genres of films. But till he died, he carried the branding of ‘Tragedy king’. The same fate for Meena kumari as ‘Tragedy queen;, though she was a versatile actress and had done some comedy roles too.
Branding puts limits to performance. Those actors who are labelled as Comedians are never given serious roles and serious actors never get light comedy roles. For example, no one dared to give comedy roles to actors like Nazir Hussain, who was reportedly famous for refusing films if there were no weeping roles or dialogues like’ tumne apni khandan ki ijjat mitti mein mila dee’ etc.
Having expertise in doing something exceptionally well is one thing and forcing a label on the artiste is another story. The same thing happened in the case of Sohrab Modi. He started his career as an actor on the stage dramas and he excelled in doing Historical roles, needing long and forceful dialogues. He was an expert in that. However, when he started his own company,’ Minerva Movietone’, his first film was a social film ‘ Atma Tarang’-1937. This film dealt with the issue of Celibacy (Bramhacharya) in a lighter vein. The film flopped. In its first show, there were only 25 people to see the film, obviously people could not visualise him in any other role except historical roles with long and forceful dialogues as on the stage. Compelled, for the rest of his career he did what he was branded as.
Sohrab Modi’s elder brother Rustom Modi was an enthusiastic actor on stage dramas, He, along with friend Ittefaq, set up ” Subodh Natak Mandali” – a Theatre company in 1923. He helped Sohrab in stage acting and soon Sohrab became popular. He acted as Jehangir (Hamlet) opposite Naseem Bano (Ophelia) in the drama ” Khoon ka Khoon”, one of the biggest Urdu stage Hits of the 1920’s decade. Next drama was ” Saeed E Hawas’ in 1927. This too was a Hit.
Rustom Modi set up ” Stage film company” in 1935. The 2 Hit dramas ‘Khoon ka Khoon’ (based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet) and ‘ Saeed E Hawas (based on King John) were made into films, shot as the entire drama, in 1935 and 1936. However these were flops and the audience did not like the presentation format.
Sohrab modi understood that Talkie films were a different issue and started his own “Minerva Movietone’, making social and historical movies and prospered in that. His brother-Rustom Modi, however, continued with his Theatre group doing stage dramas. The third brother Keki Modi looked after distribution of films and arranging dramas. He controlled a chain of 27 Theatres in 10 cities in India. Rustom Modi had his own set of actors and actresses. With these, he produced the film Paak Daman-1940.
Paak Daman was first made in 1931, the very first year of the Talkie films. Then it was made in 1940 and finally it was made in 1957. Paak Daman was a popular stage drama of the early 1900’s. There were many versions of this story with minor variations,like names and places etc. The Parsi Urdu Theatre version was written by Agha Hashra Kashmiri, then famously known as ” Shakespeare of India”. The Parsi Gujarati plays were written by various authors. Syed Yawar Ali penned the script for the ” Moon Parsi Theatre”. The Alfred Drama Company had their own version of the story. In 1932, a film called ” Paak Daman Raqaasa aka Innocent Rakkasa or innocent Dancer or निर्दोष नर्तिका ” was made by Elephanta Movietone, Punjab. But I guess it was not one of these versions, just like the 1957 movie.
Paak Daman-1931 with Rampyari and Hyder Shah was based on a Gujarati play and Paak Daman-40 was written by Agha Hashra Kashmiri for the Urdu Parsi Theatre. This was a small budget movie, with a not so popular star cast. The film budget was limited and they could not do the advertising in regular newspapers or magazines. So what they did was to distribute handbills from a bullock cart, with local bands from those towns where the film was to be shown.
The film was produced by Stage Film Company and was directed by Rustom Modi. The film was censored on 20th October 1940 and released first in Lahore. Most of the film cast was drawn from Urdu Parsi Theatre to save money. Actors like Mohd. Ishaq (as Jaandaar, the King), Abu Baker(as drunkard), K.Pawar(as Bhangedi), Sonaba(as Afimi), Mehboob(as Baldy), Faqir Mohd(as Guardian) and Krishnabai as Dancer, were taken along with regular actors like Ghulam Mohammed(as Safadar Jung), Firoz Dastur(as Jameel). The female cast was Meera Devi(as Razia), Menaka Hyderabadi(as Sayeeda, the Heroine) and Leela Hyderabadi( as Nadira). These female actors were stage actresses from Urdu Parsi Theatre in the 1930’s. They had played these roles so often on stage that all the dialogues were by heart to them. They had done small roles in films but went unnoticed, perhaps due to being uncredited.
The story of the film was…..
The king Jahandaar was a Noble and honest ruler. He used to roam about in his kingdom in a Fakir’s disguise. In his absence, his close courtier Safdar jung used to look after the kingdom. Safdar was a cruel and immoral person. He had deserted his own wife Nadira, after fully enjoying her chastity.
A young man named Jameel had used a girl Razia and abandoned her. She complained to Safdar Jung. Jameel was caught and sentenced to death. Jameel’s sister was Saeeda. Beautiful Saeeda goes to Safdar and begs for cancellation of the death sentence. Safdar asks her to spend one night with him as a gift in return for this favour. He gives her time to think and come back.
While returning, Saeeda meets the Faqir( king in disguise), who enquires what is wrong. Saeeda tells him all. King is very angry. He discloses his identity to Saeeda and asks her to find and bring Nadira. The three of them hatch a plot.
Next day, Saeeda informs Safdar that she is ready to do as he wants, provided there is total darkness and no talk in that period. He gladly agrees. In the darkness of night Nadira replaces Saeeda and Safdar spends time with her, thinking that she is Saeeda.
Next day Nadira appears in Darbar and asks Safdar to take her back. The Faqir also reveals himself and Saeeda tells the truth of the night. Safdar is stunned. The king orders Safdar to take back Nadira and leave the court-if not he will be executed. Jameel is released but has to marry Razia.
The cast of the film was Firoze Dastoor, Mohd. Ishaq, K.M.Pawar (he was the Music Director also), Menaka Hyderabadi, Leela Hyderabadi, Meera and others.
Today’s song is sung by Menaka Hyderabadi. The songs sound boring and non melodious, but they have historical value. Manaka Hyderabadi makes a Debut on this Blog as a singer and the song is atleast 84 year old. Obviously, the style would be unfamiliar and hence seem boring.
Song- Piyo piyaa to tumhen (Paak Daaman)(1940) Singer- Menaka Hyderabadi, Lyricist- Not known, MD- K.M.Pawar

“Raunaq”(1944) was directed by Dwarka Khosla for Saubhagya Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Motilal, Charlie, Chandramohan, Swarnlata, Chandraprabha etc in it.
“Raunaq”(1944) had ten songs in it. Three songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the fourth song from the movie to appear in the blog. This obscure song from this obscure movie is sung by a female voice with female chorus. HFGK is not very helpful because HFGK considers it a samooh geet (chorus song).
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the lead female singer of this song. Going by the list of singers listed for other songs, this voice could well be that of Parul Ghosh (listed as Shrimati Ghosh in other songs). I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify the voice.
Only audio of the song is available. It appears to be a wedding ritual song being sung by sahelis of a would be bride. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of the song.
Audio is not very clear. I am not fully satisfied with the lyrics that I have noted down and there may be errors in it. I request our knowledgeable readers to point out the eoors if any and suggest corrections.
Ishwar Chand Kapoor is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.

‘Anjangarh’ (1948) was directed by Bimal Roy for New Theatres, Calcutta. This movie had Bipin Gupta, Ajay Kumar, Hiralal, Sunanda Devi, Rama Indu, Parulkar, Bhupendra Kapoor, Tulsi Chakraborty, Asit Sen, Jahar Roy etc in it.
This movie had six songs in it.
HFGK mentions that all six songs of the movie were composed by RC Boral.
One song from ‘Anjangarh’ (1948) was covered in the blog. This song, which appears to be a prayer, was sung by Pankaj Mullick and Utpala Sen. Pt Bhushan was the lyricist. The post mentioned RC Boral as the music director as mentioned in HFGK.
Then Mr Sunil Trivedi who was quite close to Pankaj Mullick, sent a message to our beloved in-house encyclopedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh. He mentioned that
Dear Arunkumar ji,
I received from Harishbhai Raghuvanshi atulsongaday.me write up on above. MD is stated as RC Boral. Though he was MD for entire movie but not for 2 songs of Pankaj Mullick this + Aye julm ki janjir se jakade hue quaidee. Both songs WERE COMPOSED BY PANKAJDA HIMSELF. PANKAJDA HAS NEVER SANG SOMEONE’s COMPOSITIONS incl Hindi song of Bangla movie Monihar sung by Pankajda,music was by Pankajda and not movie MD Hemantkumar.Regards,
Sunil Trivedi ”
Accordingly, we revised the name of the music director to Pankaj Mullick.
It was mentioned in that e mail that Pankaj Mullick had sung another song in the movie.
Here is that Pankaj Mullick solo song from ‘Anjangarh’ (1948). This song is penned by Ramesh Chandra Pandey. As mentioned by Mr Sunil Trivedi, this song was composed by Pankaj Mullick himself.
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
I have not been able to note down the lyrics fully to my satisfaction and there are gaps/ errors in the lyrics. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the gaps/ suggest corrections in the lyrics as applicable.

‘Apna Paraaya’ (1942) was produced by Mehboob Khan and directed by Ramchandra Thakur for National Studio, Bombay. The movie had Shahu Modak, Hansa Wadkar, Urmila, Sankatha Prasad, Qaiyam Ali, Agha, Jyoti, Dulari, Gulzar, Pesi Patel, Raj Rani, Wasekar etc in it.
The movie had 11 songs in it. Two songs have been covered in the past.
The second song from the movie, “Gori Kaahe Khadi Angana Atariya Mein Aao” was covered by Mr Sadanand Kamath. In that post, he had given the story of this movie, based on its review carried out in FilmIndia magazine:-
Vasant (Shahu Modak) returns to India from England after a long stay and finds everything not to his taste in India. Prior to his departure to England, he was married to Veena (Hansa Wadkar). Both have not seen each other as grown up persons for a long time. In England, Vasant has fallen in love with a sophisticated Laxmi (Urmila) who also returns to India with him. His father Jeevan Seth (Sankatha Prasad) wants him to stay with Veena which he refuses as he thinks that she is not suitable for him. This angers Jeevan Seth and in the ensuing quarrel, Vasant decides to leave the house of his parents.
Vasant wanders all over the places, looking for job but he gets none. (I wonder as to how England-returned Vasant cannot get a job!). His love interest, the sophisticated Laxmi, deserts him. Ultimately, he gets a job in a village where his wife Veena stays with her poor uncle (co-incidence). She is waiting for her husband (Vasant) to take her to his place. She is heart broken when he does not turn up. Ultimately, her other rich uncle takes her with him in his place. Now Vasant gets a job as a teacher for Veena at her rich uncle’s place (another co-incidence).
While travelling in a train to reach his new place of employment, Vasant loses his bag to a thief who while on a run is crushed under the train. Vasant reaches Veena’s place and starts teaching Veena without knowing that they are actually husband and wife. Both Veena and Vasant are fond of each other but having already married, Veena does not outwardly show her feeling towards Vasant.
In the meanwhile, the thief who had been run over by the train is unidentified because of severity of the accident. At last, from the tag of the bag, dead body is identified as that of Vasant. Now Veena considers herself to be widow. However, seeing the condition of Veena, he narrates the true incidence in the train thereby disclosing himself to be Vasant. However, with this revelation, Vasant finds himself in difficulties. Due to some misunderstanding, police keeps him in lock-up for some time until the confusion gets cleared from both the families and Vasnat and Veena are united.
Only two songs from the movie were available online when the second song from the movie was covered on the blog. On checking, I found that another song of ‘Apna Paraaya’ has now become available.
Here is that song. This song is sung by Rajkumari. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.

Here is the second song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Sitaara Devi. Shaatir Ghaznavi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that Sitaara Devi acted in the movie, it is clear the song was picturised on Sitaara Devi herself.

raah takat hai moree ee

गली चलत मोहे पास बुलाये
