Today’s song is from the film Dhoomketu (1949).

There was one more film having the same title in 1985, but that film had a credible story dealing with some scientific research etc. However today’s film was only a C grade stunt film and had nothing to do with Astronomy or any other science. It was a plain, simple, predictable stunt film. Dhoomketu (Comet) is the name of the film’s Hero. In my entire life I have never come across such a name in any language or any state of India. Hats off to the story writer of this film.

Searching for songs from as yet unrepresented movies is an important activity for me. As we keep adding more and more movies to the blog, searching for songs from as yet unrepresented movies becomes increasingly difficult, especially for movies from the earlier decades.

Collecting information from forgotten artists is extremely difficult. First problem is to find them. Many yesteryear actors who are still alive are living in anonymity. People who live around them also may not know their identity, many times. If they are members of CINTAA (Cine and TV Artists’ Association, Mumbai), one may get their addresses, but some actors do not even inform CINTAA, when they shift.

Mention of the name Uma Devi, almost invariably brings to mind the peerless melody – ‘Afsaana Likh Rahin Hoon Dil e Beqaraar Ka’ from the film Dard (1947). And then, in the current memory, there is very little else that emerges from depth of yesteryears. But the fact is that Uma Devi (later also known as the comedienne Tun Tun) was fairly active as a playback singer in the 40s and early 50s. And there is a fairly good number of memorable songs that she has rendered during her short career as a playback singer.
