Today’s song is from a social film, Actor-1951.
The film was produced by Kerawala and Bhojani for the banner of Sarosh Pictures, Bombay. It was directed by Ramji Bhai Arya, for whom this was his last film as a Director. He had spilled over from the Silent films. He started as an assistant to several directors before starting as an independent director of Talkie films. He directed films like Hindi ke laal-40, Manthan-41, Jungle ki pukar-46, Bhedi Dushman-46 and Sher e dushman-47. There were 2 Music Directors – Aziz Hindi and Ibrahim. Both names had an aura of mystery around them.

Today’s song is a trio from an obscure film Oonchi Haveli-1955.
Though the HFGK mentions this film as a social film, from the photos of this film which I have seen, this film looks more of an action packed Costume drama of B grade. I am calling it a B grade film, because the cast of this film has featured well known artists of that time. It had Nirupa Roy (as a Stunt Girl)), Karan Dewan, Lalita Pawar, Bhagwan, Janaki Das,Yashodhara Katju, B.M.Vyas, Indira Bansal, Heera Sawant and many others, including a Guest artist-N5iranjan Sharma. Music Director was Pt. Shivram Krishna.

Today’s song is from an obscure film – Char minar-1956. Though the 50s decade was known for entertaining, Mythological and musical films, there were also plenty of ordinary films, lacking in content, star power and good music. Such films just came and went without leaving any trace. But these lacklustre films actually gave enhanced importance to memorable films.
Char Minar-56 was a Nagina film presentation (which was owned by Ravindra Dave, the Director of Nageena-51. After this film’s tremendous success he opted for its name for his company). The film was produced and directed by Ravindra Dave. Not only that, the assistant director was Narendra Dave, Assistant Photographers were Pratap Dave and Arvind Dave, Assistant Editor was Balwant Dave and the production manager was Surendra Dave. It looked like an employment exchange for Dave’s family !
