Today’s song is from an obscure film called Maharani Minal devi-1946.

The film was produced and directed by Chimanlal Trivedi for his own banner Laxmi productions, Bombay. The music director was Saraswati Devi. The Lyricists were Ramanand and Neelkanth Tiwari. However, for lack of individual credit for each song in the HFGK, we do not know who wrote which song. Even the uploaders do not mention specific names. The cast of the film included Prem Adib, Leela Desai, Durga Khote, Jagdish Sethi, Agha, Sankatha Prasad and many others.

Today’s song is from the film Bhabhi-1938.

When the film ‘Bhabhi’ is mentioned, we first remember the 1957 AVM film Bhabhi, which had very good songs like ” Chal ud jaa re panchhi” in 3 parts or “Chali chali re patang meri chali” etc. This was a very successful and a popular film – a truly ‘Family Picture’, in those days. There were 3 movies with the same title ‘Bhabhi’ released in 1938, 1957 and 1991.

Today’s song is from a very old film- Janmabhoomi-1936.

During the British Raj, film makers had to be very careful in making a film to ensure that nothing derogatory or against the Raj was found in the film. Making a Patriotic film was a risky business and hence hardly any direct patriotic dialogue or songs could be found which would incite the Censor Board to hold their film for issuance of the Censor Certificate.

Today’s song is from a film which was a milestone in the lives of its Hero, Heroine, an actor, singer and the company that made this film. The film was Jeevan Naiya-1936, made by Bombay Talkies.

Founded in 1934 as a Public limited company, Bombay Talkies had a modern, well equipped film studio. Its owners were Himanshu Rai and Devika Rani, both coming from rich and educated families. Having spent years in England and Germany, they had very ambitious plans for film making. Their technical staff was from Germany and for other departments, they had a very good select team. The studio was run like a company, having its own canteen and other amenities for its staff.

Today’s song is from the 86 year old film Bhabhi-1938.

Writing with fervour and emotions on old films is like being a doctor with a very odd and unknown speciality, e.g. Medical geneticist, which is a very rare type of speciality. In the entire USA there are less than a thousand such specialists. Another odd speciality is Aviation Medicine. In the USA, there are hardly 500 such specialists. For a common man these specialities are a waste of time and these are not big income earners. Nowadays, everything is measured in terms of earning money. Liking and choice have no value. I am sure, in India specialists of the above two categories may not have marriageable values even !

Today’s song is from a Mythological film ” Usha Haran’-1949.

Hindi films or for that matter Indian films are a mix of various Genres. They cater to almost every segment of Indian society. Some stories are more popular than others and some Genres give surprises. For example, one would feel that comedy films are very popular, but statistics says that Tragedy films too are equally supported by the audience. One glaring example is, the early tragedy films of Dilip kumar ( in which he invariably died at the end ) and Meena Kumari and Nimmi made them Grade 1 artistes ! On the contrary, none of the 3 comedy actors like master Bhagwan, Mehmood or even Kishore Kumar were ever called A class actors !!

Today’s song is an ‘Unique and a Special’ duet from the film Parakh-1944.

Why and how this song is ‘Unique and Special’ will come later, but first let me point out another important matter. In recent times, in India, the women are better treated, respected and also honoured for their contribution to running the household as well as earning equally to manage the married life on level fields. Women can be seen practically in every field of activity and have reached the top of the work places in almost every sphere. We have seen them as President, Prime Minister of the country, In Judiciary, Banks and even in Armed forces-be it Army, Navy or Air Force, the police, sports etc. There is hardly any field where women have not put their stamp.
