Many times I peruse old Hollywood magazine to see if they have something interesting about India. I usually find something.

Yesterday I found out about Lal Chand Mehra, a highly educated man who wrote Hindustani titles for King Of Kings (1927, silent) and then became a technical advisor.

From The Motion Picture Almanac Annual 1932.

I was in grade 10 when this film came out. I was not allowed to see films so I had to watch them during school hours. Saw only 3-4 films  a year. This one did not make the cut. Saw it yesterday for the songs and any other interesting info.

During the club song, 'Kahnaa Meraa Aaj Maan Le', Nazi is singing and we see the back of a man. He suddenly turns and we see Mehmood, a surprise guest, only seen here, not mentioned anywhere.

Of course, he is going into the filmography and the song picturization information!
