Today’s song is from a less known historical film – Pahela Admi-1950.
The film was made by New theatres, Calcutta. It was directed by Bimal Roy. This was his last film as a Director of a New Theatre film. After this film, he came to Bombay and settled here. His first film in Bombay as a director was a film by Bombay Talkies- Maa-1952. Both New Theatres and Bombay Talkies were on the anvil of closure when Bimal Roy directed their films. The Music Director for today’s film was R.C.Boral. The cast of the film consisted of Smriti Biswas, Balraj Vij, Pahadi Sanyal, Zahar Roy, Heeralal Asit Sen, Bela Bose and many others. The 11 songs of this film were written by Prakash, Shyamal Gupta, Anant Krishnan and Deshraj.

Today’s song is from an obscure and less known film- Miss Devi-1944.
This film had a story revolving around twin sisters who looked alike. The 1940s were replete with such ‘ Look alike’ films, as if there was a great demand for these films. Few days back I wrote about the film Dhandora-1941 which too had ‘Look alikes’ in its story. Another well known film was Muqabla-1942, a film with Fearless Nadia, with such a story. I have always wondered why the film stories get repeated so frequently, as if there is a shortage of imagination. Few years ago, I answered this question.

Today’s song is from a Comedy cum Suspense cum Love story cum identical double role film Dhandora-1941.
Dhandora is a typical North Indian Hindi word, with which not many other state people may be aware of. Since there is an almost similar word with the same meaning, in Marathi, I knew about this word and so, maybe many Maharashtra readers too will know it.

Today’s song is from a religious film (labelled as ‘social’ film in HFGK) – Alakh Niranjan-1950.
1950 was the final year of the decade of the 1940s and matters which took place in this period had tremendous impact on the coming decade of 1951 to 1960. The rush of Muslim artists to their Utopia- Pakistan, had slowed down and the new entrants to replace them here were in the process of solidifying their presence. The extraordinary success of the Mythological and Religious films in the 1940s decade, with films like Bharat milap, Ram Rajya and Har Har Mahadev gave impetus to such films in the 50s decade, peaking their numbers to 124 in the period 1951 to 1960.
