Today’s song is from a flop, obscure film, with a good star cast – ‘Garibi’ (1949).

Based on overall rating, there are 3 types of films…. 
1) Memorable Films – due to powerful story, acting, direction or music.
2) Films refreshed by memory when referenced in later years – films popular or hit for a short period and then forgotten till referenced in later years.
3) Totally forgettable films – from day one, due to poor/weak/unbelievable story, direction, music or outdated theme.Top actors, directors or MDs also can not save the film.

Today’s song is from a social film ‘Rangeeli’ of 1952.

1952 was a year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of film production, escalating rates of stars and music directors, establishment of star system in place of earlier studio system, increasing taxes, decreasing number of cinema halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

Today’s song is a trio from an obscure film Oonchi Haveli-1955.

Though the HFGK mentions this film as a social film, from the photos of this film which I have seen, this film looks more of an action packed Costume drama of B grade. I am calling it a B grade film, because the cast of this film has featured well known artists of that time. It had Nirupa Roy (as a Stunt Girl)), Karan Dewan, Lalita Pawar, Bhagwan, Janaki Das,Yashodhara Katju, B.M.Vyas, Indira Bansal, Heera Sawant and many others, including a Guest artist-N5iranjan Sharma. Music Director was Pt. Shivram Krishna.
