Today’s song is a Parody song from a C grade Stunt film Diamond Queen-1940.
From the time the Silent films started, it was the time to make Stunt and Costume films. The entire focus of these films was on attracting the workers, daily earners, the poor and the lower class of the society, who looked for entertainment which they could afford. C grade films were the cheapest to make. After the Talkie films started,the Silent films vanished forever slowly. It took about 3 years after the Talkie films started in 1931 to stop making Silent films. The last Silent film was ” Shareef Badmash” made by Shri Ganesh Films, Bombay (Censor Certificate -B-13975 dt 2-11-1934).

Today’s song is a duet from the film Punarmilan-1940.
My favourite Marathi/Hindi/English author ISAQ MUJAWAR has written several – over 30 – books on Hindi and Marathi old films, people and related topics. One of his books in English is ” Maharashtra – The Birthplace of the Indian Film Industry”. This is a very rare book to find one. I have the original as well as its xerox copy. The original book was gifted to me by my Friend from Ahmedabad, Mr. P.S.Seshadri. He is an occasional visitor and commenter of this Blog.

Today’s song is from an old film Paak Daman-1940.
Actually, I need not have written ” from an old film”, because my name is now firmly connected with old films only. This is in spite of my posts on a fair number of films and songs from 1970 to 2016 also. However branding and the label has stuck to me pucca.

Today’s song is from the film Alakh Niranjan-1940.
This was a bilingual film made in Hindi and Marathi (in Marathi the title was ‘ Gorakhnath ‘). This was made by Arun Pictures, a banner floated and owned by the film’s director Bhal G. Pendharkar. Bhal ji, like V.Shantaram, was trained by the Kala Maharshi Baburao Painter, who employed them in his pioneer film company ‘ The Maharashtra Film Company’, Kolhapur.

Today’s song is from the film Aaj ka Hindustan-1940.
The second world war had already begun in 1939 and the British Government had promulgated many restrictions on the Indian people like rationing of food items. rationing of petrol and other essential items. As far as the Film industry was concerned, the Raw Film used to be imported as it was not yet made in India. The Government started a quota system for the filmmakers, based on a formula of films made in an year on average and many related parameters. This created problems for individual filmmakers who made films at random and had no studio of their own.

Today’s song is a famous Ghazal by Mirza Ghalib, from the film Qaidi-1940.
Film Qaidi-1940 was a Landmark movie. It was a Muslim social film. It was not the first film depicting the muslim culture in a hindi film, still it occupies a special place in this Genre for many reasons. Muslims have been a major and the biggest Minority in India for many centuries. Muslim kings who came from outside India ruled this country for many years too. Therefore it was but natural that films depicting Muslim culture were made in India from the early era onwards after Talkie films started.
