Today’s song is from a Costume C grade film -‘Shah Behram’-1955.
The film was made by Producer Mulkraj Bhakari, under the banner of Baharistan Productions, Bombay. The film was directed by a veteran of such genres – Nanubhai Vakil. He was not just a ” Vakil” (An Advocate) by name, but including him, most of the elders of his family were B.A.LL.B. advocates. It is another matter that he was inclined to make a name for himself in the film industry rather than practising Law in courts.

In my last article, I discussed the film, ‘Naache Naagin Baaje Been’ (1969) which was written and produced by Devi Sharma (19/10/2021 – 30/03/2010). I got acquainted with his name when I had watched his films, ‘Ganga Ki Laharen’ (1964) and ‘Gunaahon Kaa Devta’ (1967)” in my younger days. Meerut born Devi Sharma was a writer and got attracted to the glamour world of Hindi films. He shifted to Mumbai and debuted as a co-producer with Wasti for ‘Basre Ki Hoor (1956). His first independent film as a producer and writer under his banner, Janta Chitra was ‘Taxi Stand’ (1958). The next as a producer-writer was ‘Kaali Topi Laal Roomaal’ (1959).

Today’s song is from a so-called ” हास्य प्रधान ” (Humorous) film Haa Haa Hee Hee Hoo Hoo -1955.
I have seen this film and by any standards it is not a humorous film. The story is very weak. Except for the lead pair the other actors are not so well known. Both the film’s director and the Music Director were poor images of their glorious past. The songs are not worth even a one time hearing. The only redeeming feature of this film I found was , I could see 2 old time actors in it, namely Sulochana aka Ruby Meyers and H.Prakash. I saw Ruby after she was seen in her third Anarkali film-1953. I had thought that she had retired, but she was there in this film !

Today’s song is from a C grade Costume film Taj aur Talwar-1956. This was a Satya Rai production film and the producer was Satya Rai himself. Not only this but he had written two Lyrics in this film, including the song under discussion. Satya Rai had written five songs for yet another of his film-National Musical documentary-Jaigaan-which was shown along with ” Soldier’s Dream or Sipahi ka sapna”-1948, a film based on Subhash Chandra Bose. In that film also the Music Director was Sudipta Bhattacharya-just like in this film (Taj aur Talwar). Sudipta had given music to some other films like Ghulam, Begum,Badshah-56, Silver King-57(with Bipin-Babul) and Shan-e-Hind-1960.
