In this post I am presenting a song from the 1948 movie ‘Aap Beeti’. Geet Kosh spells this movie as ‘Aap Biti’ and that may also be the case for the Censor Certificate of this movie. I do not remember if I have ever heard any song from this movie earlier. Two songs from this movie are available on this blog.
‘Aap Beeti-1948’ was directed by Kumar for ‘Kumar Studios Limited, Bombay’. It had Khursheed, Kumar, E. Bilimoria, Agha, Leela Mishra, Pramila, Mehndi Raza, Agha Peer Jaan, Hameed, Shabnam, Girdhari, Chandrakala, Hainak, Afroz Bano and Indira Acharya and others. This movie has nine songs which were composed to music by Hari Bhai.

As it is, Blog century is a regular and recurring destination for the blog. after we arrive at a blog century, we do not take a pause rather keep continuing to cover more and more songs in the blog and before we realise, we are staring at the next blog century.
This has taught me a lesson that When you do not worry about the destination then you reach your destination almost painlessly and unnoticeably.When one thinks about it, one realises that we have had as many as 196 blog centuries already and now we are only blog century number 197, viz blog song post number 19700.
This blog century has been reached in 26 days, which appears quite a good pace for the blog at present. We cannot compare this rate from the last decade when we were clocking centuries in 16 days but then we were one decade younger at that time and we had far more energy.

Today’s song is from an absolutely obscure film – Maldar-1951.
I called it an absolutely obscure film, because except what is given in the HFGK, no other information on this film is available anywhere – neither in any books nor anywhere on the Internet. Even the film booklet is not available (either not printed for cost saving or less number printed to economise). It just came and went.
It was a Debut film for Amit Mitra – Director, Satish Bhatia – Music Director, Usha Bhatia – Playback singer, Roshan Joshi – Playback singer and Pran – Lyricist. Since we do not know the credits for other departments, we are unaware of that part.
The cast of the film was Balraj Sahni, Smriti Biswas, Chhabi Biswas, Neelima and others. The 8 songs of this film, composed by Satish Bhatia were quite nice but not good enough to compete, stand out or remain in memory compared to the other songs of the Golden Era of Film Music. 1951 had offered much more melodious songs by well known composers.

Today’s song is from the Historical film Padmini-1948. Made by Punjab Film Corporation, it was produced and directed by its owner Wali Saheb. All the 11 songs of this film were also written by Wali Saheb. The Music Director was Ghulam Haider. The cast of the film was Mumtaz Shanti ( wife of Wali Saheb), Ashok Kumar, Mumtaz Ali, Samson, Maya devi, Neelam, Sultana, A. Shah and others. The story of Padmini is very well known and is available easily on the internet, hence I am not going into that.

(Debutant Movie-‘Double Cross-1938’)
Today I am presenting a song from a movie of 1938. Regulars on this blog will be surprised to see a write-up from me presenting a song from a movie which is around eighty-seven years old. I have been sharing older songs but this must be the oldest of them. I had come across this song more than a year back.
This song is from the movie ‘Double Cross’ from the year 1938. Most of us are aware of the movie titled ‘Double Cross-1977’. This movie of 1977 has a song that is part of my childhood and I had shared that song on this blog. Adding songs from movies with same title is one of my missions, and that is the reason for this post as well. With this post ‘Double Cross’ of 1938 joins the ‘Double Cross’ of ‘1977 🙂 on the blog.
“Double Cross-1938” was directed by M. Bhawnani for ‘Bhawnani Productions, Bombay’. M. Bhawnani was also the story writer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Bimla Kumari, S.B. Nayampalli, Faity (Fatty?) Prasad, Ameena, David, Kishore, A.S. Gyani, R. Dilawar, Master Hussain, Rai Mohan and others. This movie has eight songs as listed in Geet Kosh Vol-I (1931-1940). However the lyricists name is not known for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Pt Badri Prasad and Walter Coffman was the ‘orchestra organizer’(as mentioned in Geet Kosh). Singer’s names for all the eight songs are mentioned in Geet Kosh. They are Gauhar (Bikaner), Bimla Kumari, Bashir Qawwaal, Faity Prasad, and Ameena.
It will be interesting to know if all songs from this movie can be located. So far, only this song is available. It is a duet song and one of the oldest example of a ‘nok-jhonk’ song.
Let us now listen to this song. The man likens himself to vegetables and likens his sweetheart to sweets. 🙂 Faity Prasad and Ameena are the singers of this song. Lyricist is not known whereas music is composed by Pt Badri Prasad.
I was not able to note correct words at some places.I would request knowledgeable readers to kindly suggest the correct words at those places.
Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that the singers had also acted in the movie, one can guess that the song was picturised on themselves in the movie.
With this song, let us welcome ‘Double Cross-1938’ on this blog !!!
Song-Suno pyaaree suno pyaaree zaraa aaahistaa aahistaa (Double Cross)(1938) Singers-Fatty Prasad, Ameena, Lyricist-Unknown, MD-Pt Badri Prasad
Lyrics

agar tujhko sataaun main to

mere nanhe se dil ko gar sataaoge
banegee khub gat apne kee
ye ki aap paaoge
jab aayegee meree baaree
zaraa aahistaa aahistaa
suno pyaaree ee
suno pyaaree ee
zaraa aahistaa
aahistaa
