Today’s song is from the maiden film Hotel-1956. The film was made by Bright Light Productions, Bombay.

After the II World War, a lot of Black Money came into the film industry. People having this type of unaccounted money were on the look out for investing it clandestinely so that they could earn legitimate profit on it and a part of their money could become White. Many times it was also a way to show huge losses and escape from the Income tax levies. In addition, Film industry glamour was an added attraction. Moving and mixing with well known stars and the late night parties where wine and women were freely available were very alluring too. some of such financiers had an ambition to become Director or an actor and their ill gotten money was helpful to fulfil such desires. So, during the period of 1946 to the mid-50’s, one can find few ‘onetime’ directors and actors in the credits of films. In the Geet kosh, one will find the column of ‘producer’ blank in many such films, as remaining anonymous was an early escape from drawing attention.

#Debutant movie-Zaalim Teraa Jawaab Nahin-1960 #
——————————————————————

In this post we launch a movie from the year ‘1960’ on the blog. This movie is titled as ‘Zaalim Teraa Jawaab Nahin’.

This movie seems to be an obscure movie of its time and also I guess that the songs of this movie were not available on internet earlier. The couple of songs from this movie I came across have been uploaded only recently. I would like to thank the up-loader for providing the songs of this movie on ‘YouTube’.

Music lovers and regulars on the blog are aware that this blog already has more than 17500 song-posts by now. Many of them are surely aware that we still have a long way to go in bringing many of the songs ‘including from the golden period of HFM’ here on the blog. These songs could well be hidden gems lost with the passage of time despite being ‘good compositions’ because they could not become popular. But then the competition at that time was of a very high class !! So many talented persons (now considered legends) were active at the same time competing for the same space!!

Today’s song is a duet from the film Chor-1950. For reasons unknown, the name of this film in HFGK is written as Chore, whereas everywhere else, including in Hindi in HFGK itself it is mentioned as Chor only !

The film was directed by Anand Prasad Kapoor (32 films as a director and 2 films as an actor) and the film had music from Pt. Govind Ram. Before we move further, I have a query – do you know which actor in Hindi films had his real name as Indriya Daman (इंद्रिय दमन ) ? I know it is a difficult question and 99% readers will not be able to give the right answer.

Today’s song is from the film “Hum bhi kuchh kam nahin” -1958.

The film, as per its story belongs to a Costume and imaginary genre, but HFGK mentions it as a ” Social ” film. I wonder why ? The cast of the film consisted of Ameeta, Ranjan, Sumitra, P. Kailash, Kanu Roy, Majnu, Ram Avtar, Manju and others. The 7 songs of this film were written by Anand Bakshi, Rahil Gorakhpuri, Kaif Irfani and Sharki Bhopali. The lyricist Rahil Gorakhpuri wrote 30 songs in 12 films from Sun to le haseena-58 to Aaja Sanam-75. In addition, as Anwar in the pair Javed-Anwar, he wrote songs in 8 films. Javed in this pair was Manohar Lal Khanna – father of Composer Usha Khanna. The Music Director for today’s film was S.D.Batish. The film was directed by Raman Desai.
