Today’s song is a funny, ‘Anokhe Bol’ song from an iconic 86 year old film-Aadmi-1939.
The year was 1939 and the British Government had declared war against Germany and Japan, as soon as the WW II began. All countries ruled by Britain were – willingly or unwillingly, drawn into the war efforts and its effects. The war began in the month of September and soon various restrictions came into operation – like rationing, blackouts, shortages etc. The film industry which was still under its development stage suffered. It also realised the importance of remaining united as one industry. However, all that came after 1 or 2 years. In 1939 there was not much effect seen on the film industry.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone, Bombay. It was directed by the owner of the banner, Sohrab Modi himself. The lyricist was Syed Amir Hyder Kamaal Amrohi or simply Kamaal Amrohi, who became famous as a producer, director and a poet in later years. One of the points of his fame was that he had married Meena kumari.

Today’s song is from the film Comrades-1939.
The title of the film was highly misleading. The general meaning of the word Comrades is a Communist Party Member. I was surprised how this title was given to a film, that too when the second world war had just begun. But this title was used to indicate the intimacy and friendship of 2 boys and 1 girl from their childhood. This was a Love triangle naturally, when 2 boys and 1 girl are involved.

Today’s song is from a very old film Comrades-1939.
The title of this film is somewhat misleading. Comrades was the common word used for Communist members. I too was confused with this title, but then I realised that a film on Communist ideology was not possible in British India. The film happens to be a story of three friends, 2 Boys and 1 girl. The film could have been titled Friends or Dosti or some similar title. Wish I was there to make this suggestion to the owners of Sagar Movietone !
