Today’s song is from an obscure film called Paigham aka Message-1941.
The film was made by Chimanlal Desai’s banner Amar Pictures, Bombay. This Chimanlal Desai was the same person who had established Sagar movietone, along with Dr. Ambadas patel. In its time, Sagar was a famous studio, making several hit films. Chimanlal lost Sagar due this habit of gambling. The film was directed by his son Surendra Desai. Amar Pictures was named after the son of Surendra desai-Amar. Just being the son of a producer does not make one a good director. Surendra was an average director. His elder brother Virendra Desai was a good director, but he spoiled his own as well as Nalini Jaywant’s life, when he married the 16 year old Nalini. He was already married and had 2 children also.
Film Paigham 1941 had music by Gyan Dutt. The cast of the film included Sadhana Bose, Surendra, Anil Kumar, Protima Devi, Ansari, Sulochana Chaterjee and others. There were 11 songs in the film, written by Pt. Indra, Safdar Aah and Balam. There were 3 solos of Surendra and 3 duets with Sadhana Bose, 2 solos of Sadhana, 1 solo of Bulo C.Rani and 2 duets of Bulo C.Rani.

Today’s song is from a 90 year old film – Manmohan-1936.
The film was made by Sagar movietone and it was the 3rd Directorial film for Mehboob Khan. The music was by Ashok Ghosh, a very well known name in Bangla filmdom- who had a very enthusiastic and talented assistant- Anil Biswas. The cast of the film consisted of Miss Bibbo, Surendra (his 2nd film), Yaqub, Ashalata (real name Mehrunnisa, who later married Anil Biswas), Ram Marathe, Zia Sarhadi, Bhudo Advani and many others. Lyricist, dialogue writer and story writer was Zia Sarhadi who also did a small role in this film.
You will be surprised if I tell you that this film would not have been made if K L Saigal was not acting in films of New Theatres in Calcutta ! Strange, but true ! Let us see how….

Today’s song is from a film which is almost 90 year old – Jaagirdar-1937. It was made by Sagar Movietone, Bombay.
The talkie films started in 1931 and there was a great activity in the film industry. Major filmmakers from the Silent era were cautious about the future of the Talkie Films, but some people with a vision jumped into making Talkie films. At the same time some more adventurous people entered filmmaking and new studios and companies came up.
The first decade, i.e. from 1931 to 1940 was full of experiments. At a time many Genres were tried. Many experiments were undertaken. The industry was still under the influence of a silent era mentality, so those who could not cope up with the new approach soon eclipsed-like Madon Theatres. Intelligent directors understood that the Talkie films have to be made with a different approach- like V.Shantaram and Sohrab Modi, for example. They not only became famous but also lasted for longer periods.
