Today’s song is from a very old film, His Highness-1937.
The film was made by Prakash Pictures, Bombay, who were intomaking B and C grade stunt and costume films, till they made Mythological films, starting with ” Bharat Milap”-1942 and their luck changed. This film, based on a Ramayana story became a Hit and Prakash Pictures found a Gold Mine !. They made another film on Ramayana – Ram-Rajya-1943 and this became a blockbuster, breaking many records all over India. The pair of Prem Adib as Ram and Shobhana Samarth as Seeta became All India famous and Prakash changed their production stance. They started making social and religious films which made them a successful film company.
The film His Highness-1937 was a Costume film. It had nothing new in the story except that along with the human star cast it also used animals like Dogs (Tiger and Tommy) and a Horse (Bahadur), which made some difference. Hitherto only the Wadia Movietone had used different types of animals in their stunt films. The film was directed by Balwant Bhatt. He was the elder brother of director Nanabhai Bhatt.

Today’s song is from the first decade of the Talkie i.e. the 1930’s. The film is Mera Ladka-1938. Made by Prabhat Film company, Poona, it was directed by a person who wrote his name in the most unconventional way – K.Narayan Kale. His actual name was Keshav Narayan Kale. Instead of the usual custom like Keshav N. Kale, he hid his own name and gave prominence to his father’s name ! This radical journalist’s life was full of ” in and out”of the film industry !
