‘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 the social film Albeli-1945.
There were 3 Same Title films in 1945, 1955 and 1974. To match it, there were 4 films titled Albela in 1851, 1971, 1990 and 2001. There was also Albela mastana in 1967.
This was a Talwar production, Calcutta film. Directed by its owner R.C.Talwar, it had music by G.A. Chishti. There were 2 lyricists – Shanti Swarup ‘Kaif’ and Chishti himself. HGFK, however, does not credit any song to any Lyricist or any singer. Thus, one has to depend upon his own judgement about the singer or believe the uploader’s mention.
The cast of the film was Ramola, Rooplekha, Manorama, Usha, Sunder, Heeralal and others. Film Albeli’s review came in the March – 46 issue of Film India magazine. As usual, Baburao Patel had nothing good to say about this film. The film’s story centred around the love affair of a street girl and a Gypsy boy, who is loved by two more girls. The film was released on 22-12-1945 at Central Cinema, Bombay. The story was by Talwar himself. Dialogues and Screenplay was by J.S.Casshyap. The film’s hero was Satish.
