Today’s song is from a C grade stunt film, Lutaru Lalana-1938.

1938 was the first decade of the Talkie films, which started in India in 1931 only. What an era it was ! I feel sad that the present generation (Zen G) can never ever even imagine the pleasure of seeing those films, which regaled the common man no end. I am talking about the C grade stunt/action/costume drama films made then. Those were the days when people went to the theatre with no preconceived notions, because they only went to see good stunts, dances and killing dialogues.

This was a class of lower middle class, working people and young children in their teens, who got entertainment at affordable ticket rates – no matter if the theatre was even 5 to 6 kms away to reach. Walking to get the desired timepass was no problem. No one from the audience expected a sane, reasonable story, no one was even bothered about the histrionic capabilities of the actors or the actresses.

Today’s song is from a Costume film- Jai Bharat-1936.

It was a Wadia Movietone film. It was produced by JBH Wadia and directed by his brother, Homi Wadia who also wrote the story and screenplay. The dialogues were written by Munshi Sarfarash. Music was by Master Mohammed, who also acted in this film. There were just 6 songs in this film, much less compared to the average of 9 songs per film for the period 1931 to 1940. 5 songs were written by Pt. Gyan Chander and today’s song was by Azeem. Gyan Chander mostly wrote for Wadia films. From 1936 to 1940, he wrote about 30 songs in 15 films.
