Today’s song is from an imaginary (Kalpanik) film – Hatimtai ki Beti-1955.

The film was produced and directed by Nanubhai Vakil for his own banner Vakil productions, Bombay. Music was by A.R.Qureshi, assisted ably by the yesteryear’s composer, Damodar Sharma. Sharma was one of the well known Music Directors of the early era films. Among the old era MDs, Damodar Sharma was different, in the sense that his songs were always unlike those of his contemporaries. When you hear his songs, you will notice that difference. From 1934 to 1948, he gave music to just 41 films. All his films were C grade films made by Paramount, Liberty, Ramnik Productions, Mohan Pictures and others. After 1948, he stopped getting films, so he worked as assistant to MD A.R.Qureshi till 1964.

The cast of the film included Chitra, Mahipal, Daljit, Krishnakumari, Kamal, Kammo, Heera Sawant, Helen, Ruhi, Tun Tun, Naaz,Maruti, Sunder, Kesari, W.M.Khan and others. The guest artistes were Heeralal, Ram Singh, Al Nasir etc. Lyricists were Shevan Rizvi and Kaifi Azmi.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Hatimtai ki Beti’ (1955).

When I was very young and had just started taking interest in reading books and seeing films, I always felt that HATIMTAI is a girl’s name. This was because “Tai” in Marathi, means Didi in Hindi. It was only after I read the book “Arabian Night stories”, that I was surprised that Hatimtai was a Male name !

In Hindi films have a few commandments that are scrupulously followed by all movie makers.

The first commandment is:

1. There shall be song and dance.

As a blog dealing with songs, most of which are accompanied by dance, we can authentically claim to have vast experience and knowledge when it comes to talking about songs and dances in Hindi movies. 🙂
