Today’s song is from the film Mr. Sampath-1952.
The cast of the film was Motilal, Padmini, Vanaja, Kanhaiyalal, Agha, Badri Prasad, Sundari bai and many South Indian artistes. The music was by the pair- Balkrishna alias B.S.Kalla and E.Sankar Sastry. The film was produced by Gemini and directed by S.S.Vasan, owner of the banner. The film was based on the novel “Mr. Sampath- Printer of Malgudi” by the famous writer R.K.Narayan and a hit Tamil film ” Miss Malini”-1947. I have read the novel and also seen this film, after it was released on 25-12-1952 and again 2-3 times after few more years…the latest being in last month. There are many changes in the story. The novel’s Hero is very loveable, so is the film’s Hero but only as entertainment.

“Rasta”(1947) was directed by Har Prasad for Fazli Brothers, Bombay. This obscure “social” movie had a starcast of Mayadevi, Abdul Latif, Shahida, Ameena, Razi, Zaki, Wazir Mohammad Khan, Anwar, Anwari, Ismat sultana, Abbas, Sharbat Ali etc. Most of these names ring no bells.

Today’s song is from the film Sipahiya-1949.
When India got independence in 1947 and the British Rule ended, the Indian public breathed a sigh of relief. Especially, the film industry felt like coming out of a prison. During British rule, there were so many restrictions, specially during the war period, on the filmmaking – like, you can’t show the British in bad light, you can’t speak about Independence openly, you can’t criticise Government policies etc etc. Even the wordings of songs and dialogues were under a sharp lens. The best example of this oppression was the song in the film ” Kismet”-1943, ‘Aaj Himalay ki choti se ‘ written by Kavi Pradeep. He had to go underground to avoid arrest for this song !

Today’s song is from the film Aahuti-1950.
I have not seen this film and I could not get any details of this film like its story etc from any source, so I do not know what kind of ‘ sacrifice ‘(aahuti) this film was about. From some of the songs, this film Aahuti aka Anokhi qurbani seems to be a film about Independence struggle or on conditions soon after India’s independence. This also looks like having a love story in the background.

Today’s song is from the film Akash Pari (1958).
The film industry is a Gold mine for some people and it is a big crater of Mud for some people. It is not that a well established famous film company or a filmmaker does not suffer loss due to a flop film, but new entrants, who enter this field with a hope to make a lot of money, frequently end up with unforeseen obstacles which forces them to dump their filmmaking adventure midway.

Today’s song is from a film made in Madras – ‘Naya Aadmi’ (1956).
The film was made by Jupiter Films, Madras, simultaneously along with the Telugu film ‘Santosham’. The cast was mainly from the South, taking few Hindi actors for the Hindi film, like Anwar Hussain, Gope and Helen (her first Telugu film incidentally, when she danced in film ‘Santosham’ also). The Music Director pair was Vishwanath – Rammurthy (their first Hindi film) with 8 songs and Madan Mohan with just 3 songs. The cast was Anjali Devi (South), NT Rama Rao, Jamuna, Raja Sulochana etc. For the Hindi lyrics it was, of course, Rajendra Krishna- the South’s favourite.
