Today’s song is from a Muslim Social film – Ismat aka Asmat-1944.
!939 to Aug 1945 was the II World War period. Almost every country in the world was affected, either directly or indirectly. The year 1944 was a time when the world knew that the end of World War II was near, however, till that time the Raw Film shortage was troubling the film makers in India. Black money generated through Black marketing was disturbing the industry. The cost of the filmmaking, which was about a Lakh or so in 1940, had escalated to 5 to 6 lakhs per film. Studio system was weakened due to individual production practices started by black money investors.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No. 40
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years back viz on 12 March 2013, eight songs from eight different movies were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-
| Blog post number | Song | Movie (Year) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7658 | Kyun tumne hamko daraaya | Prem Sangeet (1943) | 4 songs covered out of 10 by now |
| 7659 | Raat ki malka ban thhan ke | Ismat(1944) | 3 songs covered out of 7 by now |
| 7660 | Preet ki jyot jalaakar chup hai | Vishkanya(1943) | 7 songs covered out of 12 by now |
| 7661 | Chaand mera baadalon mein kho gaya | Pathan (1962) | 4 songs covered out of 7 by now |
| 7662 | Raja haweli ki khidki zara kholna re | Veer Rajputaani(1955) | 5 songs covered out of 9 by now |
| 7663 | Assalaam aalekum baabu | Kalpana(1960) | 6 songs covered out of 10 by now |

| 7665 | Meri patni mujhe sataati hai | Pati Patni(1966) | movie YIPPEED by now |
It can be noticed that two movies (out of eight movies) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 12 March 2013) have since been YIPPEED on the blog. That leaves us with six movies that are still unYIPPEED and therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (12 March 2023).

Today’s song is from the film Ismat-1944 – a Muslim Social film made by Fazli brothers. This film was directed by the younger brother Sibtain Fazli, making his Debut as a Director. This was the second film of Fazli brothers to be made in Bombay, after the earlier film Fashion-43 also made in Bombay. Prior to that, they began their film making from Calcutta. This was to avoid the possible hindrance from the Muslim fundamentalists in Bombay, who were against making films depicting Muslim social life. Their first such film was Qaidi-40, made at Calcutta. It was followed by Masoom-41 and Chauranghee-42-all at Calcutta. Then they shifted to Bombay.

Raat ki malka ban thhan ke
Posted on: March 12, 2013
“Ismat” (1944) was an extremely obscure movie. Hardly any information was available about this movie.
I have discussed one song from this movie in the past. The comments by our knowledgeable readers, namely our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh as well as another reader, Mr Sami, on that post has given us some rare information about this movie. Now we know that this movie was produced by Fazli brothers and directed by Sibtain Fazli. The movie had Nargis and Jaani Babu in the lead,supported by Mehtab, Nandrekar, Bhudo Advani, Pratima Devi, Irshad, Ghori etc. The story had an interesting Muslim social story whereby Nandrekar the hero is married to Mehtab and then remarries to Nargis as second wife.
