Today’s song is from an absolutely obscure film – Maldar-1951.
I called it an absolutely obscure film, because except what is given in the HFGK, no other information on this film is available anywhere – neither in any books nor anywhere on the Internet. Even the film booklet is not available (either not printed for cost saving or less number printed to economise). It just came and went.
It was a Debut film for Amit Mitra – Director, Satish Bhatia – Music Director, Usha Bhatia – Playback singer, Roshan Joshi – Playback singer and Pran – Lyricist. Since we do not know the credits for other departments, we are unaware of that part.
The cast of the film was Balraj Sahni, Smriti Biswas, Chhabi Biswas, Neelima and others. The 8 songs of this film, composed by Satish Bhatia were quite nice but not good enough to compete, stand out or remain in memory compared to the other songs of the Golden Era of Film Music. 1951 had offered much more melodious songs by well known composers.

Today’s song is from an eminently forgettable film Ek tha Ladka-1951. The film was produced and directed by Roop Sanwre and the music was handled by 2 MDs- both unknown to most people- Murari Sharma and Rajhans Kataria.

#The Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
Today 20th August 2025 is the forty-first Remembrance anniversary of music director Avinash Vyas ((21 July 1912 – 20 August 1984). On this occasion I am presenting a song from the movie ‘Dashaavataar-1951’ where Avinash Vyas was the music director.
After getting associated with this blog I had got many opportunities to listen to and share the songs composed by Avinash Vyas ji. Though I was not aware of his great contribution towards Hindi Cinema and Gujarati Cinema and Non-Film music in Gujarati. In my childhood I must have watched many black & white Hindi movies where music was composed by Avinash Vyas, but I was unaware of this fact. However, the song ‘tere dwaar khadaa bhagwaan’ from ‘Waaman Avtaar-1955’ is my all-time favourite and I would also like to mention the songs from ‘Chakradhaari-1954’ which I watched during my stay at Nagpur (exactly nine years back around this time i.e. 15/16 August 2016) where I liked all the wonderful songs this movie has.

Today’s song is from the film Stage-1951.
The film was produced by J.D.Chandana and directed by young Vijay Mhatre. Music was by 2 MDs. Husnlal-Bhagatram composed 5 songs and Sardar Malik composed 7 songs. After 5 songs, Husnlal-Bhagatram left the film, fed up by the frequent interference of the director in their work. Sardar Malik was invited to complete the music of the film.

Today’s song is from the film Bade Bhaiya-1951.
From the title it seemed to be a family drama, but in reality this was a love story of 2 brothers, with the background of a Carnival and its various shows. This is what I call a misleading title !
The film was made by Super Pictures, Bombay, owned by the film’s Director Aspy Irani. The Parsi community of Bombay made a lot of contribution to the early cinema. Remember that the very first Talkie film made in India was by Ardeshir Irani, a Parsi who owned a premier studio and a filmmaking organisation -The Imperial Film company, Bombay. Over a period, the Parsis found other interests and their participation in filmmaking reduced. However, some of the great and memorable actors and directors like Sohrab Modi, the Billimorea brothers, Pearl Padamsee, Boman Irani etc kept the Persian Presence in Hindi films going.
