Yamla Jat was released on May 22, 1940 in Palace cinema Lahore. So it is not
a 1939 movie. RANJAN is actually Ranjana... the heroine and Durgaha Kote is actually
Durga MoTa.. a comedian. Baby Noor Jahan acted in the movie as younger sister of Anjana.
The song 'kankaaN diyaaN fasalaaN' was picturised on
Anjana.Typographical errors (errors and omissions allowed)
and the movie was directed by Moti Gidwani.
Here is a still from the movie. Pran and Ranjana are the personalities.

One late evening in Lahore in 1939. A well-dressed personable young man stands with his friends at his favourite paan shop having an after-dinner pan when a total stranger interrupts, the conversation and asks the young man if he is interested in acting in films. If so, he should present himself at the Pancholi Studios the next day at 10 am and meet the boss, Dalsukh Pancholi. The young man is definitely interested but who is the stranger? "My name is Walli," says the stranger, naming one of the biggest directors in Lahore in the pre-Partition days. "After a few drinks every person imagines himself to be a Wallia" (which is Urdu for enlightened man), mutters the youth almost to himself and the stranger walks off, probably without hearing the last bit. The next day, in the harsh light of the morning sun, the entire incident seems improbable and the product of some stranger's over-fertile imagination. The youth does not go. A couple of days later, while catching up with a matinee show at a local theatre (the Plaza), the young man once again meets the stranger who had claimed to be Walli Saheb. The stranger is incensed, Mr.D.S.Pancholi and he had waited at the studio for an entire day. The young man is contrite and says that he would be interested if the offer is still open. It is. This time, however, Walli Saheb is taking no chances and a car is sent to pick up the young man. By the evening of the next day the young man is playing the villain's role in Pancholi Studios' Punjabi film, Yamala Jat, and yet another star is born - a star who is destined to hold sway over his audience for the next 50 years and more. Pran Krishan Sikand- for that was the name of the young man - was the son of a noted government and civil contractor, Lala Kewal Krishan Sikand, who would have definitely objected to his son's choice of career, but he never did find out till the film was released a good four months later and became a terrific hit. After that it was too late and he chose not to interfere. Pran's accidental entry into films is typical of the pre-Partition era. It was a time when actors were considered to be untouchable and though there were quite a few well known actors from decent, well-to-do families it was not exactly the profession parents planned for their children. However, Pran's career as an actor almost came to a standstill even before it had begun. Though a Punjabi he had spent his formative years in Delhi (where he was born on February 12, 1920) and Uttar Pradesh, where his father generally took up contracts, and hence could not speak proper Punjabi. He was about to be thrown out of films when Walli Saheb's brother Nazim Panipati, took up the responsibility of polishing up his accent. Had it not been for this intervention Pran would have eventually gravitated towards the profession he was toying with at the moment: photography. And the man who was destined to face the camera would have remained behind it all his life. After Yamala Jatt, Pran did a few more Punjabi films (Chaudhury being one of them) as well as a walk-on role in the Hindi film, Khazanchi, which starred S.D. Narang (later to become a filmmaker) and Ramola and was destined to become a runaway hit. But all this was mere preparation for Pancholi had bigger things in mind for the young man. In 1942, Pran was signed to play the hero opposite Noor Jehan for a film titled Khandaan. Both were making their Hindi film debuts but had acted with each other in Chaudhary and once before when Noor Jehan had played the heroine's sister in Yamala Jatt. After that there was no looking back for Pran and he went to play significant roles in as many as 22 films up to 1947 when Partition rudely interrupted his career as it did the lives of so many other people.
