“Ramman” (1954) was a Metropolitan Films Production. It was produced by Gemini Dewan and directed by Hiren Bose. The movie had Karan Dewan, Meena, Cuckoo, Om Prakash, Purnima, Majnu, Gulab, Randhir, V. Panchotia etc in it. I wonder if the Meena of this movie is Meena Kumari or Meena Shorey. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this fact as well as on this obscure movie itself.

Today (28th may), which happens to be the birthday of music director Vinod gives me a good reason to discuss a few songs composed by him. Vinod, whose real name was Eric Robert was born on 28th may 1922 at Lahore. He came to Bombay in late 1940s alongwith Roop K Shorey. Vinod composed music in about 32 Hindi movies and a few Punjabi movies. He was one of the pioneers of Hindi movie music during its formative years. He was one of those who used western music as well as Hinglish lyrics in his compositions at a time when such compositions were not quite in vogue.

The movie had Satish, Kuldip Kaur, Majnu, Neeta, Siddiqui, Kukku etc in it. I am surprised to note that the name of Meena Shorey, the wife of Roop K Shorey does not figure in the list of actors. The list of actors in the starcast could well be only partial.

Recently,I came across an audio clip of a film FOR LADIES ONLY (1951). This film was also known by the name ‘TITLI’. I had never heard of this film. A search in the Indian Film Trade website revealed that the film was produced under the banner of Jaimini Dewan Productions ( Jaimini was the brother of Karan Dewan) and directed by Vedi. The cast included Satish, Roopa Verman, Kuldeep Kaur, Sadhana Bose, Ramnath. As per the same website, there were three lyricists for the film – Sahrai, Kaif and Sahir Ludhianvi. Another website gives the names of six lyricist – Sharma, Vashisht,Prakash, Kaif, Sahrai and Sohanlal Sahir ( and not Sahir Ludhianvi). Vinod (Eric Robert) was the music director for the film.
