Today’s song is a DayDream song video from the film Brandy ki Botal-1939.

The period of early Talkie cinema was interesting in many ways from the point of view of Cinema history. The experimental attitude of the filmmakers allowed the audience to enjoy a variety of subjects of life. Not only this, but due to studios like Prabhat, Huns, Maharashtra Film co. etc making bilingual films in Hindi and Marathi, gave a taste of Marathi style of acting and pronunciation of the dialogues. Exposure to Marathi actors, who acted only in Marathi films, had a typical accent, diction and style of delivering the dialogues which , at times, sounded funny and odd. The Hindi language that was used in these Bilingual films from Maharashtra was sprinkled with ” Hindi-ised” Marathi words, which, though not completely wrong, were rarely used in day-to-day use in the Hindi Belt. One example would be ” मैं तुम्हारी बाट ( वाट in Marathi) देखूंगी “…. which simply meant ” I will wait for you ” !

Today’s song is from the film Aap ki Marzi aka As you please-(1939).

The Talkie era started with the beginning of the 1930s decade, i.e. in 1931. By 1939, it entered the last year of that decade. Within the first 9 years, the film industry had shed its skin several times before beginning a new phase in the 40’s. Most artistes of the early Talkie era were those who came over from the Silent films. Many such artistes ended their careers while the remaining ones began ending their careers. While all this happened there were new entrants with their own new styles of acting.

Today’s song is from an old film ‘Ek Hi Raasta’ (1939).

This film was made by Sagar Movietone and was directed by a young Mehboob Khan. This was his  last film with Sagar, because after this Sagar was merged with National studios and later on it was closed down forever. This proves that generally, family enterprises where it is a one man show, be it films or politics, does not last long. If the enterprise does not adapt  to changes or does not learn from its mistakes, its downfall is sure. Mehboob Khan grew big with Sagar. Mehboob was influenced by Nehru’s ideology and was his staunch supporter. It was a coincidence that Nehru died in the afternoon of 27th May 1964 and within 12 hours, Mehboob Khan too died in the early hours of 28th May 1964.

Today’s song is again by a comedian, from a stunt film of the First decade of the Talkie era. It is from the film Gareeb ka Laal-1939.

For our old and regular readers, perhaps the title of this film may sound familiar. The first song from this film was the 500th song of our friend Sudhir ji and it was posted by him on 28-2-2013. It was a funny, special song , having 32 names of actors and actresses of those times, in its lyrics. (Tujhe Bibbo kahoon ke Salochana (Gharib Ka Lal) ).
