Today’s song is from the film Bade Bhaiya-1951.
From the title it seemed to be a family drama, but in reality this was a love story of 2 brothers, with the background of a Carnival and its various shows. This is what I call a misleading title !
The film was made by Super Pictures, Bombay, owned by the film’s Director Aspy Irani. The Parsi community of Bombay made a lot of contribution to the early cinema. Remember that the very first Talkie film made in India was by Ardeshir Irani, a Parsi who owned a premier studio and a filmmaking organisation -The Imperial Film company, Bombay. Over a period, the Parsis found other interests and their participation in filmmaking reduced. However, some of the great and memorable actors and directors like Sohrab Modi, the Billimorea brothers, Pearl Padamsee, Boman Irani etc kept the Persian Presence in Hindi films going.

Today’s song is from a failed, potent comedy film Andher Nagari Chaupat Raja-1955.
The film was made by Chitramahal, Bombay and produced by Ashalata Biswas- ex wife of Music Director Anil Biswas. Though she had separated from Anil Biswas in 1954 itself, she continued using his surname till she was in films. The film was directed by Shamim Bhagat, about whom my guess is that he may be Ashalata Biswas’s brother. Her name before marriage was Meharunnisa Bhagat. The Music Director of this film was Avinash Vyas, ably assisted by Sanmukh babu Upadhyaya, who later on became an independent MD for film Lalkar-1956. He gave music to only 7 Hindi films, mostly B and C grade films. The cast of the film was Chitra, Amarnath, Gope, Umadevi and many others.

Today’s song is from the film Alladin ka Beta-1955.
Can there be a child who has not read the story of Alibaba or Alladin or Sindbad the sailor ? All of us have read these stories in our younger days,but not many know that these stories are from ‘Arabian Nights’ or ‘The 1001 Nights’.
These are collections of stories from West and south Asia.The history of this book is very complex.Suffice to say that it is a composite work and that the earliest tales came from India and Persia. Perhaps in the 8th century,these were translated into Arabic and authors from every generation went on adding stories to it. However,the basic Frame story remains the same for centuries.
