In this post I am presenting a song from an obscure movie from the year of 1975. Obscure because I could neither find any videos from this movie on internet nor any information about it. The title of this movie is ‘Samasya’. It was passed by the censor board on 29.11.1975. Geet Kosh V (1971-1980) mentions this movie as belonging to the genre of ‘social movies’. It was directed by Dayabhai Bhakt for ‘Akik Chitra, Bombay’. The cast of this movie had Madhuchhanda, Pawan Dutt, Chitra Sundaram, Atam Prakash, Sunil Dhawan, D.S. Mehta, Rakesh Jaimani, Vikas Bali, Pratibha Matkari, Anjali Devi and others. Sajjan, Jagirdar, Pallavi Mehta and Damodar Shah had made special appearances in this movie.

Today’s song is from a totally unknown film Krishna Bhakta Bodana-1944.

This was a film made by Wadia Movietone, exclusively owned now by the elder brother J.B.H.Wadia, after the younger brother left this jointly owned company, to start his own outfit. Being a Gujarati Parsee, no wonder Wadia wanted to make a film on a lesser known Gujarati Saint to attract the Gujarati audience. The film was directed by J.B.H.Wadia himself – with a gap of 9 years i.e. after his last directed film Noor-E-Yaman-1935. In all he directed 15 films. His last film was Saaj aur Sanam-1971. During this 9 year gap period, he wrote film stories, produced films and did overall management of Wadia Movietone.

Today’s song is from the film Nishani-1942.

As far as the Film Titles are concerned, our filmmakers are not very knowledgeable, I would say. Some titles give one meaning and the film is about something else. There are so many examples of this. If you go through the Film Title index, you will find strange titles. Anyway, more about this some other time.

Today’s song is from the film Zindagi ke mele-1956.

This was a social film having an ordinary story, without any famous or top star. The only good thing about this film was its Music Director – Chitragupt, the king of melody. If at all the producer had got back all his money invested, he should be thankful to Chitragupt for his music, otherwise nothing special was there in this film.
