Today’s song is from an obscure and less known Costume film- Captain Kirti kumar-1937.

Initially the films were mainly based on Folk tales, Parsi dramas and Mythological stories. 1937 was a year in which the Film industry was trying to drop its old skin and don a New Avtar.

Today’s song is from a Comedy cum Suspense cum Love story cum identical double role film Dhandora-1941.

Dhandora is a typical North Indian Hindi word, with which not many other state people may be aware of. Since there is an almost similar word with the same meaning, in Marathi, I knew about this word and so, maybe many Maharashtra readers too will know it.
