Today’s song is from the film ‘Kisaan Kanya’ from 1937. This movie is famous for being the first indigenously made colour film of India, by Ardeshir Irani’s Imperial Film Company. Film pioneer Irani was also the first to make an international co-production, with Italy – the film ‘Nala Damayanti’ – a silent film of 1920. Secondly, and more importantly, he also holds the honour of making and releasing India’s first talkie film ‘Alam Ara’ in 1931.

Today’s song is from a very old film, His Highness-1937.
The film was made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay, who were intomaking B and C grade stunt and costume films, till they made Mythological films, starting with ” Bharat Milap”-1942 and their luck changed. This film, based on a Ramayana story became a Hit and Prakash Pictures found a Gold Mine !. They made another film on Ramayana – Ram-Rajya-1943 and this became a blockbuster, breaking many records all over India. The pair of Prem Adib as Ram and Shobhana Samarth as Seeta became All India famous and Prakash changed their production stance. They started making social and religious films which made them a successful film company.
The film His Highness-1937 was a Costume film. It had nothing new in the story except that along with the human star cast it also used animals like Dogs (Tiger and Tommy) and a Horse (Bahadur), which made some difference. Hitherto only the Wadia Movietone had used different types of animals in their stunt films. The film was directed by Balwant Bhatt. He was the elder brother of director Nanabhai Bhatt.

Today’s song is from a film of the first decade of Talkie films in India – Moti ka Haar aka Pearl Necklace-1937.
The year 1937 was a year of Revolution for the newly started Talkie Film. Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar. From this year, a variety of subjects were used to make films. If we briefly look at some path breaking, landmark films using Novel themes, we will understand how the film industry was attempting to change itself.

Today’s song is a Qawwali from the film Hurricane Hansa-1937.
The Indian film industry was still in its childhood in 1937. It had been just 6 years since the first Talkie film was made in India. The initial years were of experimentation. The filmmakers were trying various topics in their films.
Indian audiences may be from different states and languages, but Mythological and Stunt films were common favourites all over India. From the first decade when the first silent movies were made till the 1960s, these two genres continued unabated.
Most of us like to see films, be it on a TV, in a cinema hall, or through DVD. Some like old films, some like new films. Did you ever see films like, Khooni Khanjar, Dagabaj Doctor, Shaitan ka paash, Char chakram, Daku Rani Talwarwali, Jaadu ka dandaa, Zinda Laash, Revolver Rani, Sinbad-Aladdin-Alibaba, Flying man, Fighter Sheela, Khooni Darinda, Tarzan aur Jadugar, Tarzan aur Jadui Chiraag, Golden Gang, Murde ki jaan khatare mein, or Jadui putli ?

1-10-2012.
This is the date which I shall never ever forget in my life. There are dates for several milestones in one’s life, like date of Birth, Date of graduation, Date of Marriage, Date of retirement etc etc. barring a few, one forgets all other dates, because those dates have no relevance to his current or future life.
Certain dates one can never forget, because those are the dates when one’s life had taken a turn – like a Marriage date or a Retirement date etc. 1-10-2012 is neither my date of Birth nor my marriage nor retirement date. So, what is there that makes it so unforgettable ?

Today’s song is from an 88 year old film- Premveer-1937. It was made by Huns Pictures, Kolhapur by the owner, producer and the director of this film – Master Vinayak.
It was just 6 years ago that India had entered the Talkie film era, with Alam Ara-1931. Initially films were based on Mythology, folk stories and historical figures. Soon the talented filmmakers like V.Shantaram, Master Vinayak, Baburao Painter, Sohrab Modi, Himanshu Rai, B.C.Sircar, S.S.Vasan and others realised that the Talkie films have to be handled differently that the Silent films. Being a novelty, the moving pictures or the Silent films were in a sellers’ market – which meant that whatever was produced was sold. But now that the films had started talking, story content, music, acting, direction and the themes needed to be accepted by the audience. This meant that new filmmakers were in Buyers’ market and they needed to make what had a demand from the audience.
