The cast of the film included Madhubala (17 years), Motilal (40 Years), Gope, Manorama, Jankidas, Mirza Musharraf etc.
The film, as such, though an ordinary one, was very successful. One of the main reasons for its success was that it was the FIRST Hindi film to be awarded an “A ” certifictae by the film Censor. The Censor also passed several (some of them were ridiculous) remarks on the film in general.

Today’s song is from the film Adab Arz-1943.
It is one of those films, where you don’t find any connection between the film’s title and its story, even with a far-fetched imagination. This is what I call “Cheating” the audience. In the first instance you would feel that this is a story about a Muslim family. But no, it is not. Maybe the word ‘cheating’ is a harsh word, we can call it a misleading trick !
The film was made by Amar pictures, Bombay – which was started by Chimanlal Desai after Sagar Movietone closed and he also left National Studios. The film was one of the 8 films that his son-Virendra Desai – directed in his failed career. Music was provided to the 12 songs written by Rammurthy Chaturvedi, Kailash G Matwala and Pt. Indra, by Gyan Dutt who had recently left his long association with Ranjit Movietone. The cast of the film was Nalini Jayawant, Karan Dewan, Kamla Chaterjee, Ansari, Pratima Devi, Dulari, Mukesh, Nagendra M, M Kumar, and many others.
