Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 24
———————————————————
MEENA (1944) appears to be an obscure movie at least to me as I had never heard nor came across the name of this film until I found a multiple version song from the film a few days back. The film was produced under the banner of Bharat Pictures and was directed by Phani Majumdar. The star cast included Hansa Wadkar, Vasanti, Master Shashi Kapoor (Sr.), Dixit, Gulab, Ratan Piya, Anand etc. There were 7 songs (including a multiple version) in the film, all penned by Pandit Phani which were set to music by Hari Prasanna Das.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 15
———————————————————
During the British rule in India, film censorship was introduced under Indian Cinematography Act, 1918 under which the films could be exhibited only after getting certification from the Censor Boards. During the height of freedom struggles, film censorship was used as a tool to discourage political and socio-economic issues which were perceived to be anti-British rule in India. In the talkie era, ‘Mill’ (Mazdoor, 1934) was probably the first Indian film to be banned for exhibition by the Censor Board after the film was released. The story and script written by Munshi Premchand dealt with the exploitation of labourers by a Mill owner. The film was considered to contain inflammatory undertones creating a rift betwen the labourers and owners in factories.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 10
———————————————————
The history books of Maratha empire (1674-1818) tell us that the empire reached its zenith between 1720 and 1760 when about two-third of the Indian sub-continent was under their control. During this period, Madhavrao Peshwa, also called ‘Thorle’ (Senior) Madhavrao Pehswa or Madhavrao-I is credited with recovering the lost ground of the Maratha empire and for his administrative skills. During his reign, Madhavrao Peshwa appointed Ramshastri Prabhune (mostly known as Ramshastri) as ‘Mukhya Nyaayadheesh’ (Chief Justice) of the Peshwa court who was known for his honesty, impartiality and integrity. The highlight of his tenure was that he passed a judgement of capital punishment on Raghunathrao, the Peshwa-in-waiting, his involvement in the assassination of young Narayanrao Peshwa who was under his protection.
