Today’s song is from a Mythological film Ayodhyapati-1956.

The Producer was A.A.Nadiyadwala, the Director was S. Fattelal and the Music Director was Ravi – an assistant to Hemant Kumar for a long time. Ravi had just become an independent Music Director for the film Vachan-1955. However, he still continued for a few more years as Hemant Kumar’s assistant. It was a rare case of Ravi giving music to a Mythological film, if you look at his later years’ performance. But, being a new independent MD, I guess, he accepted whichever film he got.

The cast of the film included Usha Kiran, Abhi Bhattacharya, Achala Sachdeva, Manorama, Rajkumar Khatri, Ratnamala, Anant Kumar, Balraj Mehta, Rajan Haksar, Dar Kashmiri (elder brother of actor Jeevan), Baby Asha Parekh and many others.

Today’s song is from the film Mehndi-1958.

In the year 1899, a famous writer of those times-Mirza Hadi ‘Ruswa’ wrote a novel “Umrao Jaan Ada” on the life and times of a famous Tawaif and poet of Lucknow. There is a dispute whether it was a real or a fictitious character. There have been arguments on both sides giving questionable bits of evidence. Whatever it was, the novel attracted attention of the public and the critics over the next few decades.

The famous Alfred Drama Company of the early 20th century, made it into a drama and it too became popular. During the silent era attempts were made to make it into a film on her, but it did not happen. However, after the advent of the Talkie films, many variations of this story came up and some films were made on it. But due to lack of information, we do not have the details.
