Today’s song is from an absolutely obscure film – Maldar-1951.
I called it an absolutely obscure film, because except what is given in the HFGK, no other information on this film is available anywhere – neither in any books nor anywhere on the Internet. Even the film booklet is not available (either not printed for cost saving or less number printed to economise). It just came and went.
It was a Debut film for Amit Mitra – Director, Satish Bhatia – Music Director, Usha Bhatia – Playback singer, Roshan Joshi – Playback singer and Pran – Lyricist. Since we do not know the credits for other departments, we are unaware of that part.
The cast of the film was Balraj Sahni, Smriti Biswas, Chhabi Biswas, Neelima and others. The 8 songs of this film, composed by Satish Bhatia were quite nice but not good enough to compete, stand out or remain in memory compared to the other songs of the Golden Era of Film Music. 1951 had offered much more melodious songs by well known composers.

Today’s song is a duet from the Mythological film – Veer Arjun-1952.
The film was produced by Ratilal Punatar ( he was the nephew of Sardar Chandulal Shah of Ranjit Movietone), for his own banner Ajit Pictures ( Ajit was his son’s name). The film was directed by Ramchandra Thakur ( highly educated, originally from Sagar Movietone). 6 songs of this film were composed by Avinash Vyas while one song was composed by S.Mohinder- who made G.M.Durrani sing, probably his life’s only bhajan in this film !

Today’s song is from a 72 year old Costume film- Shamsheer-1953.
Though the film was made by Sargam Pictures, Bombay, after completion of the film, all the rights were purchased by Bombay Talkies – which was already sinking and was unable to make films on its own. Just to save Bombay Talkies, all the current and ex employees of the company got together and made a film- Baadbaan-1954. However, this could not save Bombay Talkies and it was sold to Tolaram Jalani.
Film Shamsheer-1953 was directed by Gyan Mukherjee. It had 2 MDs- Arun Kumar Mukherjee and Anupam Ghatak. There were 3 Lyricists. The cast was Ashok Kumar, Bhanumathy, Smriti Biswas, Rama Shukul, Nana Palshikar, Mehmood, Bhagwan and many others.
