‘Sikandar’(1941) was produced under the banner of Minerva Movietone and was directed by Sohrab Modi. The star cast included Prithviraj Kapoor, Vanmala, Sohrab Modi, Sheela, Meena (Shorey), K N Singh, Sadiq Ali, Shakir, Yakub, Gajendra Singh, Jillo Bai, Zahur Raja, Noor Jehan (Sr), Prakash, etc. This was the first Hindi film for actress, Vanmala and Meena and the first film for Prithviraj Kapoor in Mumbai after his return from New Theatres, Kolkata. Another noticeable feature about Prithviraj Kapoor in this film is that his voice sounds different than what I have heard in his films of the 1960s.

Today’s song is from an old comedy social film – Do Deewane-1936. The film was made by Sagar Movietone.
The film cast included Motilal, Shobhana Samarth, Yakub, Aruna Devi, Sankata Prasad, Bhudo Advani and others. The name of Aruna Devi may be a new one for many. She started acting in films with the film Village Girl-36. The same year, she also acted in Mard ka Bacha, Lagna Bandhan,Do Deewane and Deccan Queen ( she did a double role in this film. She also sang 2 songs in this film.) and in 1938 she acted in her last film Asha-38. After this she got married to a businessman Mr. Nanavati and settled in England- ending her very short career as an actress.

Today’s song is from the social film Albeli-1945.
There were 3 Same Title films in 1945, 1955 and 1974. To match it, there were 4 films titled Albela in 1851, 1971, 1990 and 2001. There was also Albela mastana in 1967.
This was a Talwar production, Calcutta film. Directed by its owner R.C.Talwar, it had music by G.A. Chishti. There were 2 lyricists – Shanti Swarup ‘Kaif’ and Chishti himself. HGFK, however, does not credit any song to any Lyricist or any singer. Thus, one has to depend upon his own judgement about the singer or believe the uploader’s mention.
The cast of the film was Ramola, Rooplekha, Manorama, Usha, Sunder, Heeralal and others. Film Albeli’s review came in the March – 46 issue of Film India magazine. As usual, Baburao Patel had nothing good to say about this film. The film’s story centred around the love affair of a street girl and a Gypsy boy, who is loved by two more girls. The film was released on 22-12-1945 at Central Cinema, Bombay. The story was by Talwar himself. Dialogues and Screenplay was by J.S.Casshyap. The film’s hero was Satish.

Today’s song is from the film 300 Days and after-1938. This was a rather unusual film title, mixing numbers and words.
Among Hindi films, there were 53 film titles which started with a figure and not words (data from 1931 to 2012). Here are some interesting observations and titbits….

Today’s song is from an obscure film called Paigham aka Message-1941.
The film was made by Chimanlal Desai’s banner Amar Pictures, Bombay. This Chimanlal Desai was the same person who had established Sagar movietone, along with Dr. Ambadas patel. In its time, Sagar was a famous studio, making several hit films. Chimanlal lost Sagar due this habit of gambling. The film was directed by his son Surendra Desai. Amar Pictures was named after the son of Surendra desai-Amar. Just being the son of a producer does not make one a good director. Surendra was an average director. His elder brother Virendra Desai was a good director, but he spoiled his own as well as Nalini Jaywant’s life, when he married the 16 year old Nalini. He was already married and had 2 children also.
Film Paigham 1941 had music by Gyan Dutt. The cast of the film included Sadhana Bose, Surendra, Anil Kumar, Protima Devi, Ansari, Sulochana Chaterjee and others. There were 11 songs in the film, written by Pt. Indra, Safdar Aah and Balam. There were 3 solos of Surendra and 3 duets with Sadhana Bose, 2 solos of Sadhana, 1 solo of Bulo C.Rani and 2 duets of Bulo C.Rani.
