Today’s song is a duet from the film Aage Kadam-1943.
The greatest problem with the old films is that many times information on some films is not available at all. Even the film booklet is not available. All that is known about them is what is given in the HFGK. Some of the actors and actresses are not familiar and to get their information is almost impossible. While writing about their songs, this becomes a challenge. We have to then discuss whatever is available at hand.

Today’s song is from the film Apni Chhaya-1950.
The literal meaning of this film title is ‘our own shadow’. However, after reading the film’s story, one wonders what way this title is related to what happens in the film /. This is not the only example. There are several such misleading or confusing film titles. Maybe the producers were fond of fancy titles irrespective of the film’s content. It is also possible that there were changes in the film story during the shooting and thus the relation between the film content and the film title deferred like Ravan and Bibhishan !
The film, made by Chitralaya Ltd. Bombay was ably directed by P.L.Santoshi – who also wrote the lyrics for this film. During this time period Santoshi was completely enamored with one of his Heroines – Rehana. When I saw Santoshi’s name as a director, I looked into the cast of the film, but did not find Rehana’s name in the list.
The cast of the film was Sulochana Chatterjee, Balwant Singh, Radhakishen, Sajjan, Mumtaz Ali (Mehmood’s father), Ramsingh, Dulari, Neelam, Jawahar Kaul and others. The music was mostly by Husnlal-Bhagatram, except 2 songs which were composed by Pt. Hanuman Prasad (he discovered Geeta Roy in 1946).

Today’s song is from the film Baraat-1942.
The film was made by Kirti Pictures, Bombay and it was directed by Dada aka V.M.Gunjal (25-1-1904 to 16-11-1968). The music was by the brothers Ratanlal and Khemraj – a pseudonym taken by Khemchand Prakash to hide his identity legally, because at that time he was under contract with Ranjit Studios from 1940 to 1945. This was an attempt by Khemchand to help Ratanlal learn and become an independent Music Director. However, it helped in a very little way.

Mukesh and his Composers – 39
Coming to the next part of this series, I take up a solo song by Mukesh from the film Parmatma released in 1978. It was directed by Chand and had Shatrughan Sinha, Rekha, Pradeep Kumar, Aruna Irani, Ranjeet, Dev Kumar, Jagdish Raj, Chand Usmani, Helen and others in the cast. The music was by K. Babuji and lyrics by Indeevar.
Again, not much information is available on the music director K. Babuji. It appears Mukesh has sung only one song for him.
