एस. के. कल्लह

S. K. Kallah was a lyricist and dialogue writer active in Hindi cinema at the start of the 1940s. His documented work is the 1940 film Geeta, a Hindi–Marathi bilingual produced by Circo Productions and directed by Parshwanath Yeshwant Altekar, starring Chandra Mohan and Durga Khote. Kallah wrote both the dialogues and all ten songs of the film, which were set to music by Datta Korgaonkar (K. Datta). His lyrics for Geeta ranged widely in register — from the devotional 'Sanwla Murliwala Yashoda Ne Paala' and 'Prem Bina Yeh Jeevan Khaali' to the social-reform chorus 'Door Karo Door Karo Kachchra Door Karo' and the lyrical 'Sundar Sadi Phoolonwali Lata Odhkar'. Like many writers of the early studio era, little else about his life and career has been documented.
