In the early era, when silent films were made, it was Maharashtra – especially Bombay which led the new medium as the production centre for silent films. Of course, some films were also being made in other places like Poona, Kolhapur, Coibtor, Nashik, Bangalore, madras, Calcutta and other occasional towns.

After the Talkie films started, Calcutta came up with one of the most organised, well equipped and big studios, making films in Bangla, Hindi and some other eastern languages. That was New theatres, Calcutta. In those days, Calcutta quickly rose as a busy centre for filmmaking in several languages and many studios and production houses came up, but no one could match the magnificence of New Theatres in terms of consistency, number of star actors, actresses and directors along with technicians. New Theatre ruled supreme till the rise of Bombay Talkies and Ranjit Studios in Bombay.

Today’s song is from film Manzil-1936.

The film was made by Calcutta’s New Theatres. It was directed by P C Barua – who also acted in the film. P C Barua (24-10-1903 to 29-11-1951) had acted in 8 Hindi films and directed 14 films in Hindi. In film Jawab-42, he even sang one song. The lyricists for this film were Arzoo Lucknowi and A H Shor. The music was composed by R C Boral, duly assisted by Pankaj Mullick. Though there were 9 songs in the film, it seems only 4 songs were issued on commercial records. 2 songs are already discussed and today’s song will be the 3rd song from Manzil-36. The cast of the film was Jamuna, Molina Devi, P C Barua, Prithviraj Kapoor, Nimo, K C Dey, Harimati, Sitara, Shor etc.etc.
