A film distributor brought a young and tall handsome lawyer to Bombay and arranged his meeting with Mehboob Khan, the director associated with Sagar Movietone.

The lines of this song “dil deewaana dil mastaana maane na” may remind most music lovers of the “Maine Pyaar Kiya” (1989) song that goes “dil deewaana bin sajna ke maane na”. The song “dil deewaana dil mastaana maane na” is not from that movie though. It is from a much older movie viz. “Aawaaz” (1956) and it is regarded as a timeless classic.

Films made in the early era of Indian Talkie are a national heritage. Unfortunately, most of the films from the period 1931 to 1939 are not available . Very few films of that era are available. Even the leaflets and film books of these films are not traceable in most cases. In few books like Encyclopaedia of Indian Films the short notes on some films are to be found.
