Today’s song is from the film Daasi-1944.
This film was made by Pradhan films, Lahore.
In the Pre-Partition period, there were some important film centres like Bombay, Poona, Kolhapur, Calcutta and Lahore, as far as Hindi/Urdu films were concerned. Though comparatively Lahore was the youngest center, having made its first silent film only in 1924, experts across the border and in India claim that Lahore had the potential of becoming, if not bigger, but as big a center as Bombay ! In that era Lahore did make a lot of contribution in the field of acting, direction and music. Several experts have written long articles on Lahore’s standing in Hindi and Punjabi film making.

Today’s song is from a film which most readers may not be aware of. The film is Hindustan hamara-1950.
But then there are many such films which come and go, without a flutter. so, not surprised that you don’t remember any such film. But have you heard the name of Paul Zils ? No / O.K. Last chance now. Have you ever heard the name of Walter Kauffman ? No ?

The film was directed by J.P.Advani, who was trained in film making from Germany. Jagatrai Pesumal Advani was born on 17-5-1903 in Hyderabad ( Sindh ). After graduating, he studied film making in Germany in the 1920s. After coming back to India, he joined Mohan Bhavnani – a big gun in those days- as his assistant. His first film as a Director was Heer Ranjha-1931. He shifted to Saroj Movietone in 1934 and then to Karachi to work for Golden Eagle Company.

Today’s song is from “one of a kind” of a film – Kinaara-1949.
This was a film made by New India Theatres, Bombay. It was directed by Ambalal Dave, for whom it was the only and the last individually directed film. Same year he had directed one more film jointly with Narayan Patel (another first and last timer) – Roop Sundari-1949. Not only this,but Madhusudan Acharya had written the film’s story, screenplay and dialogues too. He had acted in this film as a Hero and also sang one solo and one duet in the film. These again were the first and last time songs in any Hindi film. Now the readers will realise why I called this film “one of a kind’ film !

Today’s song is a NFS – NON-FILM SONG – of 1945, sung by Juthika Roy.
During my early years of writing on this Blog, I had run a series “The joy of NFS” in the month of June 2014, in which I had discussed 10 NFS songs by different singers. I have been a great fan of NFS, because in my younger age I was listening to them from time to time. However, the last NFS I wrote about was more than almost 2 years ago. While checking on Youtube for some other song, I accidentally saw this song and I was tempted to write on it. This song is uploaded by the well known collector Syed Zafar Shah, who has been generously uploading many old songs. May God increase his tribe !
