Posti (Template:Lang-pa) is a 1950 Punjabi film and the first production of Kwatra Production (of Sardul Singh Kwatra and Harcharan Singh Kwatra),[1] directed by K. D. Mehra (Krishan Dev Mehra), starring Amarnath and Shyama in the lead roles. Shyama was the principal female actress of this movie.[1] [2] It did very well at the box office and was a hit not only in the East Punjab Circuit, but also in the Delhi area.[1] A noted playback singer, Asha Bhosle, made her debut with the film.[1][2]
Music
The music, composed by Sardul Singh Kwatra,[2] played a major role in the film's success.[3] Sardul modified the folk tunes of Punjab and the songs were hits. Asha Bhosle, Mohammad Rafi, Shamshad Begum, Rajkumari and Jagjit Kaur were the playback singers. Rajkumari first sang for a Punjabi Kurhmai in 1941, but in the film Posti, her songs became real hits.[1] Popular songs of the film include "Do Guttan Kar Merian" by Asha Bhosle, "Kajjle Di Paanian Dhaar" by Rajkumari and a duet, "Ja Bhaira Posti" by Mohd. Rafi and Shamshad Begum.[2]
