Today’s song is from the film Service Limited-1939.

It was a Sagar Movietone presentation, directed by C.M.Luhar. Music was by Anupam ghatak – a famous and popular Bengali composer. The cast of the film consisted of Surendra, Maya Banerjee, Bibbo, Yakub, Harish, Kalyani, Zia Sarhadi, Bhudo Advani, Kanhaiyalal and his brother Sankatha Prasad and other Sagar regular artists.

Film Service limited-1939 was a Social cum Crime cum Mystery cum Comedy film. After the initial enthusiasm of making Mythologicals and Parsi Theatre type costume dramas, film makers of the late 30s started trying to present films based on imported themes or comedy films. While films were made on works of authors like Agatha Christie etc, there were directors who tried their hands on offbeat entertaining themes.

This song post marks the 100th song of actor-singer Surendra in the blog as a singer.

Today’s song is from an 86 year old film Service Limited-1939.

The film was made by Sagar Movietone, which was on the peak of its existence from where it was soon to fall down. If one falls down from the first floor, the injuries are not fatal and soon he returns to normal life but falling from the 20th floor, the life becomes unrestorable ! In 1939, Sagar had made 7 films, 5 of which became successful. Unfortunately, this was also the year when the downfall of the company took place. I will not repeat this painful process, which was triggered by the owner Chimanlal Desai’s gambling habit and his bad luck ! It has been discussed here several times. Sagar movietone closed and Chimanlal became a partner in National Studios. Later this too was abandoned by him and a new company- Amar pictures was started.
