Today’s song is the last and final song from a less known film- Bazuband-1954.

When I came across this film for the first time, I was wondering as to what Bazuband meant. That time there was no Internet, so I could not ask Google.

The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. It was directed by Phani Mujumdar (husband of actress Monica Desai, the younger sister of actress Leela Desai), and the music was by Khayyam. This was his 4th film (3rd independent film) after he took the name Khayyam. Earlier he was using the pseudonym of Sharma ji. He gave music independently as Sharma ji in two films = ‘Parda’ and ‘Parivartan’ (in 1949) and working as part of the team Verma ji-Sharma ji, for 1 film – ‘Heer Ranjha’ in 1948.

Today, May 26, 1926, is the 34th Remembrance Day of producer-actor, Ashalata Biswas. On this occasion, I have a picked up one of the songs from ‘Baazooband’ (1954) which was produced by her and the last film under her banner, Variety Productions, by which time she was separated from her husband, Anil Biswas.

Ashalata Biswas (17/10/1917 – 26/05/1992), born as Mehrunissa Bhagat in a Gujarati Muslim family based in Bhuj, started her filmy career as an actress in ‘Sati Toral’ (1935) with the screen name of ‘Ashalata’. While working in the film, ‘Manmohan’ (1936), Ashalata and Anil Biswas, the film’s music director got married. She continued to work in films which included ‘Jwaala’ (1938) with Chandramohan, ‘Premveer’ (1938) with Master Vinayak, ‘Deepak’ (1940) with Prithviraj Kapoor, ‘Zindagi’ (1940), ‘Sukhi Jeewan’ (1942), ‘Chaar Aankhen’ (1945) among 20 odd films till 1949.
