Today’s song is from the costume film ‘Neelofar’ (1957).

Thousands of films are made as talkie films after 1931 and the tradition has been that just before its release and after it was censored, a booklet of 4-5 pages giving information about the film was published. Interested persons would buy them at throw away price of few Annas to get an idea and details about the said film at a glance. Footpath sellers outside the theaters were seen in earlier days. Later on such booklets of old films became difficult to procure and collectors of such items paid heavy prices for them.

Today’s song is from the film Aan Baan-1956.

1956 was the year of the Silver Jubilee of the Talkie films. The ” Golden Era” of Hindi film music was on its peak and many memorable films were made in 1956. The Bangla version of Hindi film Jagte Raho had won the Grand Prix award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Other notable films were Nai Dilli (one of my favourite films),Ek hi raasta, Bhai Bhai from AVM, Chori-Chori- also from south, C.I.D., Hum sab chor hain ( another from my favourite’s list), Basant Bahar, Toofan aur Diya, Funtoosh, Hateemtai, Taksaal, Bandhan, Jaldeep, Rajhath and Inspector. The sensational court case of film Naya Daur-57 came up in court this year, in which Dilip Kumar openly expressed his love for Madhubala, in the court.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maa Baap ki Laaj’-1946.

The film was made by Hind Pictures – owned by actor, director and producer Nazir Ahmed Khan. However, in this film, though he acted as the Hero, he did not direct the film. The film was directed by Nanubhai Bhatt. For Nanubhai this film was a ‘ hard to come by’ social film for direction, because he was known as a director for B and C grade stunt and costume films only. The cast of the film was Swarnalata, Nazir, Jayant, Kusum Deshpande, Majid, Gulab, Anwari and many others.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Lakeeren’ (1954).

The film was produced and directed by Harbans. Despite my efforts, I was unable to collect any information about this director. All that I could gather from online sources was that Harbans directed in all 17 films, from 1943 (‘Mr. Jhatpat’) to 1971 (‘Sher e Watan’), acted in 3 films (‘Khoj’ (1953), ‘Bade Sarkar’ (1957) and ‘Bahadur Daaku’ (1966) and wrote 1 song for film ‘Jungle Ka Sher’ (1946).
