‘Sikandar’(1941) was produced under the banner of Minerva Movietone and was directed by Sohrab Modi. The star cast included Prithviraj Kapoor, Vanmala, Sohrab Modi, Sheela, Meena (Shorey), K N Singh, Sadiq Ali, Shakir, Yakub, Gajendra Singh, Jillo Bai, Zahur Raja, Noor Jehan (Sr), Prakash, etc. This was the first Hindi film for actress, Vanmala and Meena and the first film for Prithviraj Kapoor in Mumbai after his return from New Theatres, Kolkata. Another noticeable feature about Prithviraj Kapoor in this film is that his voice sounds different than what I have heard in his films of the 1960s.

Today’s song is from an early era film – Jailor-1938.
1938 was an interesting year in the early life of the Talkie films. The film making studios had firm footing with a studio system and they tried a variety of subjects in their films. In the 88 Hindi films produced in 1938, one finds almost every Genre of film subjects, except perhaps the usual Folk stories and Historical themes. Comedy, Tragedy, Fiction, Jungle stories, Costume, Socials, Musicals, Mythologicals, you name it and you had it. Content and technical expertise had improved as films on famous novels were made.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone. It was directed by Sohrab Modi. Music was by Meer Saheb and all the 11 songs of the film were written by a young, ambitious poet Ameer Haider Kamaal Amrohavi – who later on became Kamaal Amrohi, a director and husband of Meena Kumari. The cast of the film was Sohrab Modi, Leela CXhitnis, Sadiq Ali (who was known as ‘The Prince of Minerva), Eruch Tarapore ( a relative of Sohrab Modi, who worked only in his films and also sang), Sheela, Sharifa, Kusum Deshpande etc.

Today’s song is from an obscure film Vaseeyat-1940.
Though this film was made by Minerva Movietone, neither it was directed by Sohrab Modi nor he had acted in it. The film was directed by K.M.Multani, who also wrote the screenplay for this film. Multani had directed his first film also from Minerva only-Vaasanti-38 – a social film. This too was without Sohrab Modi in any capacity. Multani further directed 3 more films, Virginia-40, Ujala-42 and Umang-44.

“Pukaar” (1939) made by Sohrab Modi is regarded as a landmark movie in the history of Hindi movies. I as a pre teen kid was never impreessed by such talk of old movies being landmak movies. I never watched this movie nor bothered to listen to its songs. And now, this movie as well as its songs have become too rare to find.
