Today’s song is from a film made almost 90 years ago….Maaya-1936.
This was a presentation of New Theatres, Calcutta, founded by its owner B.N.Sircar on 10th February 1931. In a span of just 24 years, it had made 150 films in Bangla, Hindi and some other languages. New Theatres actually was like an Academy for training film industry personnel in the Indian subcontinent. B.N.Sircar, though the owner of the company, had a very restricted role in its film making, once it started shooting. After the story was approved and the required finance was provided, he never interfered in the making of the film, rarely even visiting the shooting floors. This freedom helped many talented composers, directors, actors and the technical staff to learn how to face problems and solve them. There was a “Family” feeling among the workers.

Today’s song is from a very old film Gol Nishan aka Mark of Zero – 1936. It is sung by Gauhar Karnataki.
The title of this film resembles the Hollywood silent film of the 1920 namely, “The Mark of Zorro” and a Talkie film bearing the same title made in 1940 again. Douglas Fairbanks was the hero in the silent film and Tyrone Power in the talkie film. The Hindi film Gol Nishan aka Mark of Zero was obviously inspired by the 1920 film of Zorro – the swashbuckling swordsman. The character of Zorro was the creation of the author Johnston McCulley in his 1919 story ” The curse of Capistrano”. I have seen films of Zorro during my younger age and I remember that Zorro used to leave a mark of Z with his sword, wherever he went.

Today’s song is from an early era film- Jeewan Naiya-1936.
The film was produced by Bombay Talkies. This was their just the second full length Talkie film, since the company was started. How Bombay Talkies was conceived, established and became one of the India’s top film studios has been told several times- here and on the Internet. They were pioneers and pall bearers of making films on social evils of Indian society, led by their senior in this field – Prabhat Film Co., which was started a few years earlier.

Today’s song is from the film Village Girl aka Gram Kanya-1936.
Nine years later, Ramnik Productions made another film with the same title in 1945 with the famous singer Noorjehan singing under the baton of Melody maker music director Shyamsundar. So, when the name Village Girl is mentioned, one’s mind thinks only of the 1945 film of Noorjehan- Village Girl aka Gaon ki Gori-45.

Today’s song is from film Manzil-1936.
The film was made by Calcutta’s New Theatres. It was directed by P C Barua – who also acted in the film. P C Barua (24-10-1903 to 29-11-1951) had acted in 8 Hindi films and directed 14 films in Hindi. In film Jawab-42, he even sang one song. The lyricists for this film were Arzoo Lucknowi and A H Shor. The music was composed by R C Boral, duly assisted by Pankaj Mullick. Though there were 9 songs in the film, it seems only 4 songs were issued on commercial records. 2 songs are already discussed and today’s song will be the 3rd song from Manzil-36. The cast of the film was Jamuna, Molina Devi, P C Barua, Prithviraj Kapoor, Nimo, K C Dey, Harimati, Sitara, Shor etc.etc.
