Today’s song is from an absolutely unknown film, Laaj-1946.
The film was directed by 3 people – Shehzada Ayyaz, Syed Munawwar and H.Qasim, under the banner of Ayyaz productions, Bombay- probably owned by one of the directors. The music was given by Ramchandra Pal and the cast was Shamim, Radha Rani,Ramesh, H.Prakash, Rajan, Rehana, Master Nissar and others.
I had never heard of this film, let alone seeing it. This was because neither the film nor any of its songs were famous. Even the cast did not boast of any of the famous or popular stars of that time. Only one of the cast members attracted the attention and that was the old time hero Master Nissar.
I tried hard to know more about this film but was not able to get anything. Then I wrote to Shri Harmandir Singh Hamraz ji and he, very kindly, promptly sent me the photograph of the film’s booklet. Thanks to Hamraz ji for this.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
————————————————————————
The song in this post is from the movie ‘Saagar Tarang-1950’. This movie had made its debut on the blog on 06.02.2014. While presenting the first song from this movie our editor Atul jee had mentioned the following.
“Saagar Tarang” (1950) is a movie about which hardly any information is available, other than the fact that Geeta Dutt has sung a few songs in this movie and these songs are available on line. Other than that, hardly any information is available on this movie.

Today’s song is from the film Pagle-1950.
The film was made by Markari Productions, Bombay. It was directed by Pratima Dasgupta. The music director was V.G.Bhatkar aka Snehal Bhatkar. The cast of the film was Begum Para, Madhuri, Jahagirdar, Pratima Devi, Mubarak, David, Agha, Cuckoo and some others. I have neither seen this film nor I could get my hands on its story, but I believe this was a dual story of a failed love and true love pair.

Today’s song is from the film Babuji-1950.
The film was made by Uday Productions, Bombay. It was a regular stunt film from the stable of Master Bhagwan – who had done a great job of keeping this genre alive through the 1940’s. In the beginning of the 1950s, Bhagwan turned to making social films, with the Blockbuster musical film Albela-1951.
Bhagwan was elated highly with the unexpected success of his foray into the social Genre and he went on making such social films. He had, however, not realised that 10 Albela was a novelty for his captive audience and 2) 75 % success of Albela was due to superb music by C.Ramchandra, who was at the pinnacle of his career that time !

Today’s songs from an unknown or a less known film – Paisa-1941. This was the first film, having the first word ‘Paisa’ in its title. After this film, every decade, there were films having the word Paisa in its title. In 1956 – Paisa hi Paisa, in 1957- Paisa, in 1969- Paisa ya Pyar, in 1974- Paise ki Gudiya, in 1985- Paisa yeh Paisa, in 1992- Paise ke Peechhe, in 2001- Paisewali, and in 2004- Paisa Vasool. Obviously, the importance of Paisa had established itself in the film industry !
Film Paisa-1941 was one of those Bilingual films (Hindi and Marathi), which just came and went without making a noise. Even the Marathi version, it seems, had the same fate. I have not seen this film and actually came to know about this film only after I purchased the HFGK Volume-2.
