Today’s song is a very good Bhajan from the film Achhut-1940.

This film was made by Ranjit Movietone. The director was Chandulal Shah, Lyricist P.L.Santoshi and the M.D. was Gyan Dutt. The cast included Gohar Mamajiwala, Motilal, Vasanti, Charlie, Sitara Devi, Mazhar, Yakub and others.
Hindi film industry’s growth in Bombay in the early years from 1920s to 1940s was contributed to by 2 major communities. One of them was the Gujarati businessmen who immediately identified this business as the future gold mine. The other major community was the local Marathi, who lent their brain and hard work to this industry. As the time went by, people from Punjab, UP, Bengal and other states of India joined hands to help this industry to prosper. However, till the mid 1950s it was the Gujarati Sethias who poured the finances. Financiers like Sampat Sheth, Gokuldas Pasta, Manik Sheth Patel, Chunilal Munim, Mangaldas Parekh, Abdulali Yusufali, Mohd Ali Rangwala, Chimanlal Desai, Bhogilal Dave, Mayashanker Bhatt etc. only supplied the money, but never dabbled in other departments nor did they learn anything about the film making, more than what was needed to get some profits.

Today’s song (in two parts) is from the ‘C’ grade costume film – Al Hilal-1958 aka Judgement of Allah.

My first encounter with the film Al Hilal was when I read that this was the first film in 1935, which was directed by Mehboob Khan. This film had an interesting history too. Mehboob Khan started his acting career with the Imperial Film Company, as an extra. Ardeshir irani was impressed with this young man’s earnestness in work and thought of making a hero in one of his Silent films. At the last minute E. Billimoria was taken as that film’s Hero and Mehboob Khan lost his first chance. When Irani thought of making a Talkie film Alam Ara, he again decided to make Mehboob as its Hero. His costumes were also stitched with his measurements and Mehboob Khan was excited. However, as advised by some experts,an existing popular Hero Master Vithal was taken as its hero and Mehboob lost his second chance. Third time it was decided to make him the hero opposite Sabita Devi for the film Shehar ka Jaadu, but luck played a ball again and a New entrant Motilal was given that role.

Today’s song is from the 86 year old film Brahmachari-1938.

The film was made by master Vinayak under the banner of his own short-lived film company “Huns Pictures”. During its existence of only 4 years, the company had given 10 memorable films. Though Vinayak’s films had a lot of demand, he had to close the company due to financial miscalculations which led to its being sold.

Geetanjali Pictures of Hemant Kumar had tasted success in the genre of suspense/mystery thriller in ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962) and ‘Kohra’ (1964). The banner had also produced ‘Faraar’ (1965), ‘Bibi Aur Makaan’ (1966) and ‘Khamoshi’ (1970) without much success at the box office. After a decade of the box office success of ‘Bees Saal Baad’ (1962), Hemant Kumar tried to repeat the success formula in ‘Bees Saal Pahele’ (1972). He introduced his son, Ritesh Mukherjee (real name: Jayanta Mukherjee, husband of Moushumi Chatterjee) in the lead role.
