#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #
—————————————————————
In this post I am presenting a song from the 1948 movie ‘Aap Beeti’. Geet Kosh spells this movie as ‘Aap Biti’ and that may also be the case for the Censor Certificate of this movie. I do not remember if I have ever heard any song from this movie earlier. Two songs from this movie are available on this blog.
‘Aap Beeti-1948’ was directed by Kumar for ‘Kumar Studios Limited, Bombay’. It had Khursheed, Kumar, E. Bilimoria, Agha, Leela Mishra, Pramila, Mehndi Raza, Agha Peer Jaan, Hameed, Shabnam, Girdhari, Chandrakala, Hainak, Afroz Bano and Indira Acharya and others. This movie has nine songs which were composed to music by Hari Bhai.

Today’s song is from the film Veer Ghatotkach (aka Surekha Haran)-1949. The meaning of Ghatotkach is a person with a bald head.
The film was made by Homi Wadia’s Basant Pictures and it was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt, a veteran in directing such films. Music was by S.N.Tripathi, who, as usual, also acted in this film.
S N Tripathi was an actor, director, composer and a singer too. He acted in 83 films, sang 13 songs in 7 films, directed 18 films and gave music to 111 films, composing 863 songs. In the early cinema, we had many such multi-faceted artists.

Today’s song is from a Special Film – Raj Laxmi-1945.
The film was made in Calcutta by M.P. Productions. It was directed by Premendra Mitra and the music was by 2 MDs namely, Robin Chaterjee and Dhiren Mitra. Lyricist was Suresh Chaudhari. The cast of the film included Kanan Devi, Chhabi Biswas, Poornima, Jahar Ganguly, Iftekhar Ahmed, Puri, Talat Mahmood etc etc.
I called it A SPECIAL FILM, because it was Talat Mahmood’s first Hindi film in which he sang a Hindi song. Earlier he had sung a few NFS and a few Bangla songs in Calcutta. The film was made in Calcutta by M.P.Productions, so everyone connected to the film was from the Bangla cine world.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Laila Majnu-1945.
1945 was the year when the devastating II World War ended and the film industry heaved a sigh of relief. Many irksome regulations were relaxed. There was no force now to make Propaganda films for war, no shortage of Raw Film and plenty of Finance available through black money , generated during the war times. However, the year saw only 73 Hindi films made.
