Today’s song is from an inspirational film Shri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu-1953.
The film was made by Prakash Pictures, which started as makers of C grade action and stunt films, but ended as makers of top class Religious, Mythological and Social films of merit.
This film was directed by one of the owners – Vijay Bhatt. Music was by R.C.Boral. He was probably invited because the Main character belonged to Bengal. Perhaps it was expected to create a musical semblance to the atmosphere in the film suitable for the story. The cast of the film included Bharat bhushan, Ameeta, Durga Khote, Sulochana Chaterjee, B.M.Vyas, Madan Puri, Umakant, Pinakin Shah, Raaj Kumar and a long list of smaller actors.

In this post I am again sharing a Qawwalee song from the golden period of Hindi Film Music i.e. the decade of 1951-1960. I had come across this song around a month back and later it got delayed for one reason or other. This Qawwaalee song is sung by the famous Qawwaal duo Shankar-Shambhu. It gives me immense pleasure to present this song for the listening pleasure of readers of this blog.
This song is from the 1956 movie ‘Fighting Queen’. It was produced and directed by Nari Ghadiyali for N.K.G. Productions, Bombay. As is clear from the title of this movie it was a stunt movie. It was passed by the Censor Board on 04.08.1956.
The cast of this movie had Nadiya, John Cavas, Pramila, Shaikh, Habib, Shamim Chaudhary, Noorjahan, Anjum, Hanuman, Mustafa, Azeem, Ahmed, S. Jahangir, and Shankar-Shambhu Qawwaal.

The year 2025 is ending soon, and a quarter of the 21st century is over. This year has gone by very fast for me, with so much travel. Too much travel in fact that I have lost count. 6 weddings in close family and only one of them in greater Mumbai, which is a record.Mullah ki daud masjid tak, so we travel to Belgaum every time. Add to that visit to UK, plus a visit to Nanded. Another visit to Nanded is due before the end of the year. A 2 day trip to the good old Bangalore. See I forgot the Pune visit for yet another wedding in this melee. Throw in a combining of holiday/relaxation stops to Lonavla and Mahabaleshwar, here you have a full calender.

“Maano Na Maano”(1955) alternatively titled “Believe it or not” and “Andhkaar” was produced by Pranlal K Doshi and directed by B K Adarsh for Movie Entertainers, Bombay. HFGK, in its footnote describes this movoie as Indian’s first psychological drama. The movie failed at the box office so spectacularly that information about its star cast too is not known. The music director Hansraj Bahl provided HFGK the names of some actors as Satish, Chitra, Baldev Mehta and Naaz. That is all the information that is available about this movie.
