Today’s song is from a confusingly titleed film-Anban-1944.
Hindi film titles are sometimes funny and sometimes confusing. Funny, we can understand but confusing titles can cause problems. I can understand the same titles for films. There are hundreds of such examples. Same titled films can be found from 2 to 7 films. Yes. Film title ” Insaaf’ was used for 7 films from 1937 to 1997 – one each in every decade !
When titles are similar but not exactly the same, they can still cause confusion. Here are some examples….. Aajkal and Aaj aur kal, Aarsi and Aarti, Shadi ke baad and Shadi se pehle, Agent 1-2-3, Agent 777 and Agent 999, Lagaan and Lagaam, Daanaa Paanee and Dana Pani etc etc.
Today’s film also falls in this category. There was a film called Aanbaan and this is Anban. For several years I was confused, but when I read in a Film magazine that this is Un-bun (discord or rift in English), my confusion was cleared. (Aanbaan means dignity or pride in English).

Today’s song is from a totally unknown film Krishna Bhakta Bodana-1944.
This was a film made by Wadia Movietone, exclusively owned now by the elder brother J.B.H.Wadia, after the younger brother left this jointly owned company, to start his own outfit. Being a Gujarati Parsee, no wonder Wadia wanted to make a film on a lesser known Gujarati Saint to attract the Gujarati audience. The film was directed by J.B.H.Wadia himself – with a gap of 9 years i.e. after his last directed film Noor-E-Yaman-1935. In all he directed 15 films. His last film was Saaj aur Sanam-1971. During this 9 year gap period, he wrote film stories, produced films and did overall management of Wadia Movietone.

Today’s song is from the first film of Filmistan Studio – Chal Chal Re Naujawan -1944.
A group of disgruntled employees – actors, directors, technicians etc -left their parent company studio, Bombay Talkies, in 1942 and established their own studio- Filmistan. In the year 1942, they were not the first or the only people to leave their parent studio and start their own ventures. There were many like them.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Caravan-1944.
This was yet another film rolled out by Ranjit Movietone, who took pride in claiming that they have ” more stars in their studio, than are in the Sky !” and that they had 8 shooting floors, the most among the existing studios.

Today’s song is from a Muslim Social film – Ismat aka Asmat-1944.
!939 to Aug 1945 was the II World War period. Almost every country in the world was affected, either directly or indirectly. The year 1944 was a time when the world knew that the end of World War II was near, however, till that time the Raw Film shortage was troubling the film makers in India. Black money generated through Black marketing was disturbing the industry. The cost of the filmmaking, which was about a Lakh or so in 1940, had escalated to 5 to 6 lakhs per film. Studio system was weakened due to individual production practices started by black money investors.

Today’s song is from a social film-Us Paar-1944.
The film was made under the banner of Sun Art Pictures. It was directed by Chiman Lal Luhar and the music was given by Firoz Nizami, B.A.
Those days, film industry had very few educated persons and those who were graduates, proudly flaunted their degrees after their names. Of course not everyone did that. The director Chiman Lal Luhar was also a Science graduate, but he never put B.Sc. after his name. Not that it added to their popularity or it was in any way helpful in improving their performance but it was a tool to make them more respected in the crowd of film fraternity.
