Today’s song is from a Special Film – Raj Laxmi-1945.
The film was made in Calcutta by M.P. Productions. It was directed by Premendra Mitra and the music was by 2 MDs namely, Robin Chaterjee and Dhiren Mitra. Lyricist was Suresh Chaudhari. The cast of the film included Kanan Devi, Chhabi Biswas, Poornima, Jahar Ganguly, Iftekhar Ahmed, Puri, Talat Mahmood etc etc.
I called it A SPECIAL FILM, because it was Talat Mahmood’s first Hindi film in which he sang a Hindi song. Earlier he had sung a few NFS and a few Bangla songs in Calcutta. The film was made in Calcutta by M.P.Productions, so everyone connected to the film was from the Bangla cine world.

Today’s song is from a 85 year old film Haar jeet-1940.
I find so many similar film titles in the film index that sometimes I feel like taking up this issue also as a “Same title Confusions” problem. Luckily there is one trick to clarify among these similar titles and that is its year of making ! Therefore it is necessary that whenever a film is mentioned, its year must also be mentioned to avoid the possible ‘Same Title Confusion’ ! There were 4 films of this title made in 1940, 1954, 1972 and 1990. In addition, I also found 2 more Har jeet films which were left incomplete.
1940 was a period when New Theatres, the makers of Haar jeet-1940, were in top speed and in its Golden period. The film was directed by Amar Mullick. Music was by R.C.Boral-considered as the ‘Grand Old man’ of film music in India. His contribution to the film industry is unforgettable.

Today’s song is from the film Raj Laxmi-1945.
This was a special film, because this was the First Hindi film in which Talat Mahmood sang his First Hindi film song, as a playback.
I like most of Talat’s songs. He had a totally unique type of voice, having a Vibrato, and his style was very soft.

I make it a point to wake up at around 4 AM every morning. I do that without fail. The idea is to take my two dogs on their morning walks, one dog at a time. The first dog (Junior Dog Izza) goes first. Her walk starts at around 4:30 and she is back by around 4:50. Then Bhole (the senior dog) goes on walk. His walk typically ends at 5:10 AM. That is the time when the sky begins to get brighter. It is then that “morning walkers” start coming out on roads for their morning walk. To my mind, the best time for morning walk is between 4:30 to 5 AM or so. That is the window of opportunity for a meaningful morning walk. At that time, it is actually morning (viz it is still pre dawn), very few people are out at that time, and one has true privacy, so to say.
