At the time of the release of National Studios’ film ‘Roti’ (1942) in August 1942, the production house was sold to KM Modi, a prominent film exhibitors of that time who had no interest in producing films. At that time, three films of National Studios were under the advance stage of completion. ‘Jawaani’ (1942) was one among the three films, other two films being ‘Lala ji’ (1942) and ‘Apna Paraaya’ (1942). Anil Biswas was the music directors for all the three films.

Some established producer-directors generally have their wish list to make a film or two on the subjects that are close to their hearts. The fulfilment of their wishes gets postponed until such time the producer-directors are able to make the successful films in normal course of their career. After all, they need the financial security to take risk in producing films of their personal choices irrespective of the outcome at the box office.

Before the partition in 1947, two of the well-known and successful Lahore-based producers-directors were Dalsukh M Pancholi of Pancholi Art Pictures and Roop K Shorey of Shorey Pictures. After the partition, both of them had to shift to Bombay (Mumbai), having lost their assets including the studios which were burnt down during the communal riots. It took some time for both of them to re-organise their film production companies in Bombay. Roop K Shorey released his first post-partition film, ‘Ek Thhi Ladki’ (1949) under a new banner, Shorey Films. Dalsukh M Pancholi took one more year to release his first post-partition film ‘Meena Baazar’ (1950) under a new banner, Pancholi Productions.

In my recent article, I had listed the films from 1936 to 1942 in which Anil Biswas was associated with producer-director, Mehboob Khan under the banners of Sagar Movietone and later National Studios. Their association came to an end with the release of ‘Roti’ (1942). A news clipping in October 1942 issue of ‘Filmindia’ magazine revealed that on the eve of the release of ‘Roti’ (1942), National Studios was sold to K M Modi (I believe, he was the younger brother of Sohrab Modi) who was a film exhibitor.

During the early days of sound films in 1931, Calcutta (Kolkata) film centre had actresses like Patience Cooper, Jahanara Kajjan, Violet Cooper, Anwari, Sabita Devi (real name: Iris Maude Gasper), Kanan Devi, Radharani etc. Most of them had graduated from the silent films. Those days, in the absence of playback singing system, actresses had to sing their own songs in the films. So, those with good voices also got chance to act in the films made especially in the 30s. Begum Akhtar, Mukhtar Begum, Indubala, Kamala Jharia etc are few names that come to my mind. Ratan Bai was also one of those who joined the bandwagon of actresses in Calcutta in 1932 as an actor-singer. Incidentally, this Ratan Bai (Begg) was a different actor and as such she should not to be confused with Ratan Bai (Shilotri), the mother of Shobhna Samarth.
