Recently,I came across an audio clip of a film FOR LADIES ONLY (1951). This film was also known by the name ‘TITLI’. I had never heard of this film. A search in the Indian Film Trade website revealed that the film was produced under the banner of Jaimini Dewan Productions ( Jaimini was the brother of Karan Dewan) and directed by Vedi. The cast included Satish, Roopa Verman, Kuldeep Kaur, Sadhana Bose, Ramnath. As per the same website, there were three lyricists for the film – Sahrai, Kaif and Sahir Ludhianvi. Another website gives the names of six lyricist – Sharma, Vashisht,Prakash, Kaif, Sahrai and Sohanlal Sahir ( and not Sahir Ludhianvi). Vinod (Eric Robert) was the music director for the film.

Roshan, a name that immediately brings to mind the iconic qawwalis of ‘Barsaat Ki Raat’ (1960), or the perennial sentimental favorite “Caarvaan Guzar Gayaa, Gubaar Dekhte Rahey” from the film ‘Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal’ (1965). A master musician who would blend the classical and the folk with graceful ease, Roshan had his training under famous masters such as Ustad Allauddin Khan and Ustad Bundu Khan (saarangi king). After working with All India Radio in Delhi for about a decade, he moved to Bombay in 1948 in search of a career as a music director in films. He got introduced to Kidar Sharma, who was so impressed by his musical acumen that he actually made some changes to his next production. Plans were underway for the film ‘Neki Aur Badi’, and Snehal Bhatkar was already assigned the music direction responsibility. After meeting with Roshan, Kidar Sharma had a talk with Snehal Bhatkar, who agreed to let Roshan handle the music department. That is how the debut break came Roshan’s way.
