The film was made by Ranjit Movietone, Bombay. This was a rare occasion when Ranjit was making a Mythological movie, but to make use of the dancing skill of the film’s Heroine Sadhana Bose, it decided to make this film, in which there was plenty of scope for her dancing. The film was directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi and the music was by Gyan Dutt. Songs were by Pt. Indra. The cast of the film included Sadhana Bose-as Parvati, Arun Ahuja-as Shankar, Kamala Chaterjee, Rewa Shankar, Narmada Shankar, Mahipal, Sulochana, Shyam and others.

Today’s song is from a totally unknown film Krishna Bhakta Bodana-1944.

This was a film made by Wadia Movietone, exclusively owned now by the elder brother J.B.H.Wadia, after the younger brother left this jointly owned company, to start his own outfit. Being a Gujarati Parsee, no wonder Wadia wanted to make a film on a lesser known Gujarati Saint to attract the Gujarati audience. The film was directed by J.B.H.Wadia himself – with a gap of 9 years i.e. after his last directed film Noor-E-Yaman-1935. In all he directed 15 films. His last film was Saaj aur Sanam-1971. During this 9 year gap period, he wrote film stories, produced films and did overall management of Wadia Movietone.

Today’s song is from a very old-as many as 87 years- film Brahmachari-1938.

When Talkie films started, all the filmmakers looked for ways to make their films cater to a wider area and bring a lot of profits. One sure way was to tap the All India market, which would fulfil their desires. Initially the film productions were in very limited cities – Bombay, Kolhapur, Lahore, Calcutta and Madras. For going to All India, the filmmakers in Bombay, Lahore and Kolhapur had no problems, but for Calcutta and Madras, language was an obstacle. Who would see Bengali and Tamil/Telugu films in North and East India ?

Today’s song is from the film Pataal Bhairavi-1952. This is the film’s last song to feature here, making the film an YIPPEE film.

With all the earlier 8 songs already discussed in detail, almost all the information about the film and its cast is already given by the contributors-including me. This posed a big problem for me as to what I can discuss now that is not yet conveyed in earlier posts. But for every problem there is always a solution and I found it, looking at the cast again. This film was a dubbed film, not a remake and hence all the artistes were from the south. Barring a few main Hero heroines, people outside South are not familiar with other character actors from below the Vindhyas.
