Today’s song is a parody song from the film Ham kahan jaa rahen hain-1966.
This long titled film was made by Filmistan, which was once upon a time famous for for giving excellent, entertaining, musical and meaningful films like Eight days, Shikari,Do Bhai, Nadiya ke paar, Anand math, Anarkali, jagriti, Nagin, Shaheed, Shabistan, Sargam, Munim ji, Tumsa nahi dekha, paying Guest, nastik Aab E Hayat, Hum sab chor hain etc.
When Sashadhar Mukherjee left Filmistan to start his own studio, Filmalaya to launch his son Joy Mukherjee, the company was bought from the owners (S.mukherjee and Ashok Kumar0, by a Non Filmi shrewd businessman-Tolaram Jalan. After that films which came out from Filmistan were not in keeping with its past reputation, glory and tradition. The standard went down in subsequent years. The last film to come out from old Filmistan was Dooj ka Chaand-1964, directed by Nitin Bose and then the studio wound up. Now it is only a shooting studio under the management of one Jasraj Purohit and outside producers take it on rent to shoot their films.
Today’s film HKJRH (short form of the long title)-1966 was directed by Nitin Bose and the music was by basant prakash – the younger brother of the yesteryear music Director Khemchand prakash (12-12-1907 to 10-8-1950), who gave us memorable films like Mahal, tamasha, Muqaddar, Rinjhim, Saawan aaya re, Ziddi, Gaon, Mulaqat, Sindoor, Prabhu ka ghar, Bhanwara, tansen, Chandni, fariyaad, Shaadi, Ummeed etc.
Basant Prakash was born on27-1-1928 and died on 19-3-1996. I remember having seen a discussion on this Blog about his date of death. Most people thought that he died in the 50’s, whereas it was his elder brother Khemchand Prakash who had died then, before his most famous film Mahal was released. It was released just 10 days after his death. His name will always be remembered with the evergreen songs of his last film Mahal-1950.
Basant Prakash gave music to only 11 films. His first film was Jai Shankar-1951 and the last was Jyot Jale-1973. He had composed only 1 song for the film Anarkali-1953, when he left the film due to differences with the Filmistan people (later first Hemant Kumar and then finally C.Ramchandra took over and completed the film’s music.). Basant Prakash had 2 wives and 8 children. After leaving the films, he returned to his hometown in Rajasthan.
The songs of this film were written by Qamar jalalabadi. On the first glance it looks like a Muslim name and naturally so, because in that period, many lyricists were Muslims. However there were also Hindus having a command over Urdu, in addition, there were poets who wrote songs in pure Hindi too.
Om Prakash Bhandari (9 March 1917 – 9 January 2003), better known as Qamar Jalalabadi, was a poet and lyricist . He composed the title track of the popular television serial Vikram Aur Betaal.
He was born as Om Prakash Bhandari in a Punjabi family on 9 March 1917 in Jalalabad, a village near Beas in Amritsar district, Punjab, India. Right from the age of seven, he started writing poetry in Urdu. There was no encouragement from home, but a wandering poet named Amar Chand Amar met him in his hometown and encouraged him to write, recognising his immense talent and potential. He also gave him the pen name of Qamar which means moon, and Jalalabadi was added for his native town. It was the general trend in those days for writers to name themselves after the towns they hailed from. After completing his matriculation from Amritsar, he embarked on his journalistic career journey by writing for Lahore-based newspapers like Daily Milap, Daily Pratap, Nirala, Star Sahakar etc.
Attracted by the promise of a career in the film industry, Qamar Jalalabadi came to Pune in the early 1940s. In 1942, he wrote lyrics for his first film Zamindar which was a Pancholi Pictures production and the songs of this film were very well received, especially the song sung by Shamshad Begum “Duniya Mein Garibon Ko Aaram Nahi Milta”, which also had a line or two written by writer and poet Behzad Lucknawi.
Subsequently, Jalalabadi relocated to Bombay, and worked there as a lyricist for nearly four decades. His songs were sung by many notable singers including S. D. Batish, Noor Jehan, G. M. Durrani, Zeenat Begum, Manju, Amirbai Karnataki, Mohammad Rafi, Talat Mahmood, Geeta Dutt, Suraiya, Mukesh, Manna Dey, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. He worked with many popular composers including S. D. Burman and Sardar Malik.
As a lyricist, Qamar Jalalabadi was very versatile. On one hand he wrote mesmeric duets like “Sun Meri Sawari Mujhko Kahin Tum Bhool Na Jaana…” sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi (film: Aansoo 1953) and on the other hand he penned comic relief songs like “Khush Hai Zamana Aaj Pehli Tarikh Hai” endured with full throttle gusto by Kishore Kumar (film: Pehli Tarikh-1954). This song became very popular and was played on Radio Ceylon on the first of every month for decades, and it probably continues so.
The film Howrah Bridge (1958) skyrocketed his career as lyricist to unprecedented heights. Songs like “Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu” (Geeta Dutt) and “Aaiye Meherbaan, Baithiye Jaanejaan….” (Asha Bhosle) became highly popular.
In his long career span he worked for several film companies like Prabhat Film Company, Pancholi Pictures, Filmistan Ltd., Famous Pictures, Minerva Movietone, Prakash Pictures, Wadia Films Ltd., Filmkar Ltd., Sippy Films, N.C. Sippy Films, Shri Shakti Films, Mitra Productions and many more.
He was one of the founder members of prestigious organisations like Film Writers Association & IPRS in Mumbai. The music composers he worked with were: Ghulam Haider, G. Damle, Pandit Amarnath, Khemchand Prakash, Husnlal Bhagatram, S.D. Burman, Anil Biswas, Shyam Sunder, Sajjad Hussain, C. Ramchandra, Madan Mohan, Sudhir Phadke, S.D. Batish, Sardar Malik, Ravi, Avinash Vyas and in the latter phase of his career with O. P. Nayyar, Kalyanji-Anandji, Sonik–Omi, Uttam Singh and Laxmikant–Pyarelal as well. Qamar Jalalabadi wrote song lyrics for 155 films and wrote a total of 709 songs in his long career. He was a poet (shayar) and participated in several mushairas all over India.
In his personal life, Jalalabadi was a highly religious person and he chanted excerpts from the Bhagavad Gita, the Koran as well as the Bible. He was deeply into transcendental meditation, and was mostly embedded in his writing for most part of the day. He once gifted a bungalow in Khar, Mumbai to one of his married sisters to save her from a difficult marriage, and shifted to simpler accommodation in Juhu with his own family. He and his wife Leelawati had seven children.
He had several friends and hundreds of fans whom he called his “pankhe”. His fan mail came in various languages; Hindi, English, Urdu and many regional languages as well. He replied to all his fan mail and judiciously sent an autographed photo as well. ( I have used information from an old book Filmi geetkar, wiki, muVys, HFGK and my notes for this article).
Film Ham Kahaan Jaa Rahe Hain-66 had a cast of debuting lead pair of Neena and Prakash, Abhi Bhattacharya, Badri Prasad, Leela Mishra, Jagirdar, Vithal Panchotia, Nadira, Rajan Haksar (ex husband of Manorama and father of actress Rita Haksar), Narbada Shankar, Jankidas and many others. Readers will notice that barring the lead pair, almost all the major actors were from the early era or the earlier generation. For example, Badri Prasad started his career in 1932, Abhi Bhattacharya in 1947, Leela Mishra in 1935, Panchotia in 1932, Gajanan Jagirdar in 1932 etc. Rajan Haksar and Nadira were also old actors. All these actors were in the evening of their careers. possibly they were taken because of Nitin Bose, who was always sympathetic about old artistes.
The story of this film was prepared by the “Story department of Filmistan”. Their intention was very good and they wanted to stress the importance of Indian tradition and values as following and copying the western styles at the cost of our own culture was not good. But then only good intentions or a good story is not enough to make a good film. if the film is not entertaining, all the scenes seem to be a crude way to stress your point. The handling of the story was faulty and the film flopped badly.
The story, in short, was……
Badri Prasad and Leela Mishra, visit their son in a city after a long time. What they see is, due to the neglect of the daughter in law-nadira- and the son-Rajan haksar- the children felt alienated from them and were going bastray. The old couple try and somehow manage to give the right direction to the family but they are insulted by the bahu, with the son helplessly watching. Badri Prasad and Leela Mishra leave the house. The children also go with them. After some time their daughter-heroine- falls sick and dies. The son and bahu realise their mistake too late.
Indian audiences generally like a happy ending. Gone are the days of the 30’s and the 40’s when Saigal and Dilip Kumar died in the films and still the films were hits There used to be immortal music and a strong story content. Without these 2 important elements, no wonder Ham Kahaan Jaa Rahe Hain-66 was a flop.
Today’s song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor, Krishna Kalle and chorus. It is a two part song in one video. The parodied songs can be easily identified by our readers. Enjoy the video….

# Superstar Child Artist – Junior Mehmood # 14
——————————————————–
(A tribute to Shamshad Begam – Shamshad Begam sings for Jr. Mehmood)
In this post I am presenting a song from the ‘1971’ movie ‘Ustaad Pedro’.
This film was passed by the censor board on 28.09.1971.
It was directed by Chand for ‘Time-Life Films, Bombay’.
‘Ustaad Pedro’ had Sheikh Mukhtar, Meena Rai, Jeevan, Padma Khanna, Asha Nadkarni, Kundan, Raka, Shyam Kumar, Helen, Junior Mehmood, Master Dingoo, Sadik, Hamid, Kaku, Fazlu, Bihari, B.A. Bagi and new face Anil Dutt.
Music for this film was composed by C.Arjun and lyrics were written by Asad Bhopali.
‘Ustaad Pedro-1971’ has six songs and this movie made its debut on the blog on 31.07.2015 with its song ‘chhaayi ghataa baaghon mein mor boley’.
Today we present the second song from this movie. It is sung by Shamshad Begam. Actor Jeevan too utters a few dialogues in this song.
Actor Junior Mehmood is lip syncing in the voice of Shamshad Begam. S I have considered this post under the series ‘Superstar Child Artist – Junior Mehmood’ where I had earlier presented songs sung by various singers for Junior Mehmood.
I guess that today’s song must be the only instance when Shamshad Begam had given her voice for Junior Mehmood.
Today 23rd April’2023 is the tenth ‘remembrance anniversary’ of the legendary singer Shamshad Begam.
She was born on 14th April’1919 and she passed away on 23rd April’2023.
As a tribute to her today, let us enjoy this song from the movie ‘Ustaad Pedro-1971’. Incidentally her voice also appears in a couple of songs in the movie with the same title released in ‘1951’.
Today’s song is a ‘parody song’. It includes parodies of some iconic songs in the Hindi Film Music. Readers will be able to guess all these songs easily.
Other than Jeevan and Junior Mehmood we can also see Meena Rai and Kundan in the picturisation of this song. (The video of this song is available, but it is not very clear).
Under the series ‘Superstar Child Artist – Junior Mehmood’ so far we have had songs sung by Mohd Rafi, Hemlata, Shanti Mathur, Asha Bhonsle, Sushma Shreshtha and Lata Mangeshkar in this series.
Today we add this song sung by Shamshad Begam for the ‘superstar child artist – Junior Mehmood’.
Let us enjoy this song now…
Lyrics for the song are by Asad Bhopali and music is composed by C. Arjun.

#the Decade of Fifties –1951 – 1960 #
——————————————————————
In this post we cover a song from the movie “Deepak-1951”.
This movie made its debut on the blog on 11.01.2017 with its song ‘sooraj chaand sitaare jab tak’. Later, two more songs from this movie were posted on the blog on 09.09.2017 and 23.06.2018 respectively.
Today we present the fourth song from this movie on the blog.
“Deepak-1951” was directed Chandrashekhar for ‘Ram Ganguly Productions’. It was produced by Ram Ganguly the music composer.
Before this movie he had composed music for movies like ‘Maharana Pratap-1946’, ‘Mahasati Tulsi Vrinda-1947’, ‘Aag-1948’, ‘Banwaasi-1948’, ‘Jalsa-1948’, ‘Anmol Moti-1949’. (These are movies already available on the blog and I have noted them in order of their release as mentioned in the blog.).
‘Deepak-1951’ was passed by Censor Board on 07.02.1951.
“Deepak-1951” had Prithviraj, Vijaylakshami, Umesh Sharma, Arun Ganguly, Sajjan, Kamal Mehra, Shanti Madhok and others.
This movie has ten songs. Seven songs were penned by Madhukar Rajasthani and two by Pt Narendra Sharma. Lyricist is not known for one song.

Hullo Atuldom
Wishing the followers of the blog A Very Happy 2023. Hope the year brings joy & contentment to one & all.
Presenting a fun song to start the year. It is from the 14/11/1986 released “Insaaf Ki Awaaz”. It was directed by B. Gopal, who was essentially a director of Telugu films who had also directed two Hindi Films, the other being “Kanoon Apna Apna” (1989).
“Insaaf Ki Awaaz” (IKA) was produced by D. Rama Naidu, who had produced close to 130 films in 13 Indian languages before he passed away in 2015. His other Hindi films were ‘Prem Nagar’ (1974), ‘Dildaar’ (1977), ‘Anari’ (1993- the Hindi debut of his younger son Venkatesh), ‘Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain’ (1999), ‘Aaghaaz’ (2000), ‘Kuch Tum Kaho Kuch Hum Kahein’ (2002)- all of which were remakes of his successful Telugu films.
‘IKA’ starred Rekha as the avenging angel (a cop too), with Raj Babbar as her husband and Anil Kapoor as her brother. Richa Sharma, Nilu Phule, Sushma Seth, Anupam Kher, Shafi Inamdaar, Gulshan Grover, Roopesh Kumar, Tej Sapru, Jagdeep, Parikshit Sahni, etc formed the rest of the cast. Of course, ‘IAK’ was a made in South film, so it needed Kadar Khan, Asrani and Aruna Irani. Aruna Irani & Asrani formed part of the love triangle with Jagdeep being the 3rd angle. Kadar Khan was the head of the villains brigade with Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Roopesh Kumar and Tej Sapru were the rest of the brigade.
Just by telling that Rekha played an avenging cop we should understand what the story of the movie was. I had not seen it at the time of the theatrical release but got to see it last week, when some channels were screening Anil Kapoor films. I have read somewhere that Anil Kapoor was mighty pleased when Rekha was roped in for the role which Smita Patil was going to play originally; he was a huge fan of Rekha.
‘IAK’ had music by Bappi Lahiri and songs written by Indeevar. Today’s song is a parody where we have Aruna Irani torn between her husband Jagdeep and paramour Asrani. They mouth a parody of songs that were famous in the 80s, all Bappi Lahiri creations. The songs have been rewritten to suit the situation and recorded in S Janaki- Kishore Kumar voices.
Wishing Govardhan Asrani- popular simply as Asrani- on turning 83. He has acted in close to 350 films, mostly as a comedian. He has also produced and directed a few films. He was first seen as Biswajeet’s friend in “Hare Kaanch Ki Choodiyan” (1967), and then followed ‘Satyakam’, ‘Mere Apne’, and and and numerous other movies where he had some memorable role. ‘Sholay’ gave him a new identity and he was made to enact a caricature of the ‘angrezon ke zamaane ka jailor’ in many movie that followed.
Happy Birthday to this versatile actor who was last seen in ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ (2021 which was a sequel of the 2005 hit).

Today’s song is from an early period costume film-His Highness-1937.
The film was made by Prakash Pictures, who were into making C grade stunt, action and Costume films, before they became famous for Religious and Mythological films in the early 40’s. There was nothing new in the film story, except that in addition to several villains, it had some animals opposing them along with good people. The film was directed by Balwant Bhatt, the elder brother of Nanubhai Bhatt-father of Mahesh Bhatt. The cast of the film was jayant, Sardar Akhtar, Shiriun bano, Umakant, Ismail, Radha, M.Zahoor and many others. There were 2 MDs. The usual MD of Prakash- Shankar Rao Vyas and Lalloobhai Naik. All the 12 songs of the film were written by Sampatlal Shrivastav ‘ Anuj’.
Today’s song is a Parody song. What is a Parody / ” Humorous imitation of a serious composition” is a simple definition. Like Comedy songs, Romantic songs, Childrens songs, Loris, etc, parody songs are also an important segment of poetry. Parody has a very long history. Actually one can say that a Parody is a type of comedy poem. In early Sanskrit Literature also we find Parody, which was called ” Vidamban Kavya” (विडंबन काव्य ).
When the Talkie films started, songs became an integral part of films. Once the set of film making became stable in initial 5-6 years, the films started having Parody songs in it. I remember, I had done a series on “Parody songs in Hindi films” from 16-3-2013 to 2-4-2013, on this Blog, featuring 10 Parody songs from films. In the first post of that series 9 years ago, I had given information on the first few Parody songs in Hindi films. I reproduce here a small relevant portion of that post, for the benefit of our new readers….
” The very FIRST Parody song in Hindi films came as early as 1936. It came from a film called ” Sunehra Sansaar”-1936. It was a Parody of a famous patriotic song by Dr.Iqbal-” Saare jahan se achha Hindosta hamara…” The parody song was ‘ Saare jahan se achha saabun bana hamara,hum kishtiyan hai iski…’
The lyricist was Vijay Kumar, B.A. and the Music Director was K C Dey. When the song was released, instead of becoming popular, it drew people’s ire for distorting a patriotic song. There was criticism and several protests.
Another Music Director Master Mohd. (who was well known for composing many patriotic songs in those days, in his films) decided to make a Parody of K C Dey’s famous song, ‘Jao jao aye mere sadhu…’ from Pooran Bhagat-1933.
He included this parody song in the same year in his film ‘ Miss Frontier Mail ‘-1936. The lyrics for this song were- gaao gaao aye mere aye mere sadhu…’.It was sung by Minu,the Mystique in the film. This Minu was actually Minoo Cooper, a regular singer in Bombay city Parsi circles. He used to sing in many Hotels in those days. He has also sung a few more songs in Hindi films later.
This retaliatory Parody song was well received by the audience and it became popular too.
So, parody songs entered Hindi films with an interesting History behind them ! ”
In addition to the above, there is an example of a famous Parody song which became popular in its time. The story is, when singer actor Surendra was discovered by Sagar Movietone, they decided to project him as Bombay’s answer to Calcutta’s K L Saigal. Impressed with Surendra’s singing capabilities, Sagar made him a hero in his first film ” Deccan Queen ”-1936. In this film Surendra was given a Parody song for saigal’s famous song ” Balam aaye baso mere mann mein” from film Devdas-1935. In this film the song was ” Birha ki aag lagi mere mann mein”.
Thus one finds that parody songs became instant hits in their first appearance in the initial years 1936-1937 itself. In the subsequent years many such Parody songs featured in films. The most important condition for a Parody song is that the Original song must be so popular that people will recognise it from the tune of the parody song itself. For presenting my series on parody songs, I had searched and collected about 250 parody film songs. A big list was available on the then popular group “Hamara Forum”, on the internet.
Coming to today’s parody song “Kabhi tum ko bhi hum se pyaar tha”, from film His Highness-37, it was a Parody of the famous Ghazal “wo jo hum mein tum mein qarar tha, tumhe yaad ho ke na ho” written by the famous Urdu poet Momin Khan Momin (1800-14-5-1852). he was also known as Hakeem Khan, due to his ancestral profession. He died from an accidental fall from his terrace.
The Hero of the film was Jayant. Jayant was born as Zakaria Khan,on 15-10-1912 at Alwar, Rajasthan. His father Syed Ahmed Khan was originally from Peshawar, but was working as a Sports Coach in the court of the Maharaja of Alwar,Rajasthan. Along with his elder brother Jahangir Khan, Jayant used to sell ‘Makka-Bhutta’ (Maize) on a roadside thela and thus earned his pocket money, with which he used to see films. When he grew up, he was taken by his father to the Maharaja, who recruited him as Second Lieutenant in his Army. Jayant soon got bored with this life, left the job and came to Bombay in search of a job in films. When he met Vijay Bhatt of Prakash pictures, this 6’1″ tall,handsome and young man was liked by him. Jayant also knew Horse riding and swimming. He was named JAYANT by Vijay Bhatt and offered a role in their film Nayi Duniya-1934. Rajkumari Banaraswali also debuted in this film.
Excellent Urdu delivery and handsome personality earned Jayant Hero’s roles in Bambai ki Sethani,Bombay Mail, Lal chithi, Shamsheer-e-Arab, Azadveer, Passing show, Snehlata, Top ka gola, Challenge, His Highness, Khwab ki duniya, Mr.X, State Express, Hero no.1, Sardar and Mala. By now his salary was 3700 per month. He was more at ease in Costume and stunt films than social flicks.
Khwaab ki Duniya-37 was based on the story of Invisible Man and this was the first film as a Director for Vijay Bhatt. Babubhai Mistry from Surat used Trick photography in this film,by using Black Thread on black background.
Jayant was married to 13 year old Kamarbano Sultan. His first son,Imtiaz khan was born on 15-10-42 and second son was born on 21-10-43. He was Amjad Khan (Gabbar singh of Sholay). As a child, Amjad khan was very frail and weak till his second year. Later in his youth, of course he expanded out of proportion. Jayant’s elder brother Jahangir Khan died suddenly in an accident. Jayant was very much attached to him. To forget the sorrow, Jayant started smoking and drinking. After he was out of Prakash Pictures, he was taken by Minerva for Sikander’s role. When Sohrab Modi saw him smoking and drinking on sets, he was summarily thrown out and the role went to Prithwiraj Kapoor, for whom it was a Milestone in his career.
Jayant worked in Aladdin, Laila, Bulbul e Baghdad, Mere saajan, Zewar and Dawat. He even went to Lahore to act in “Poonji” and “Shirin Farhad”. When Shirin Farhad became a resounding flop, Jayant stopped getting roles, but he never went to anyone to ask for roles. P N Arora went to Jayant’s house to sign him for Doli. After Partition, his finances became critical and he had to sell even family jewelry for his drinks. He acted in character roles in Amar ,Insaniyat, Madhumati, Maya, Memdidi, Son of India, Kabli Khan, Hakikat, Leader, Himalay ki God mein, Sangharsh, Do Raaste, Heer Ranjha, Mera Gaon Mera Desh etc. He worked in 105 films. Can you imagine Jayant singing ? Yes, he had sung a song in the film State Express-1938, along with Sardar Akhtar.
Jayant was a family man. Till the end he had only one wife and he followed the rule to partake the dinner at home with all family members daily. He contracted Cancer, lost his voice in 1970. His last film was ‘Love and God’,which was released 11 years after his death.
Jayant died on 2-6-1975. ( Thanks to shri Harish Raghuvanshi ji, for Jayant’s profile in his Gujarati book ,Inhe na Bhulana ).
The story of film His Highness was…….
When the king of Rajnagar dies, the Queen (Gulab) discovers that he had bequeathed the throne not to her mad son Pratap (Umakant), but to their nephew, the young Prince Kirit (Madhav). This made the queen very angry.
Captain Dilip (Jayant), Kirit’s bodyguard, takes the boy and his animal pals, Tiger (Dog Tiger) and Bahadur (Horse Bahadur), on an outing along with servants Ram (Lekhraj) and Rahim (Chhotejan). A group of ruffians surround Dilip and Kirit and attack them, knocking Dilip unconscious, and kidnapping Kirit. Bahadur gallops away to inform Ram and Rahim while Tiger takes off after the goons. Meanwhile, back at the palace, the aged prime minister (Jal Writer), Princess Asha (Sardar Akhtar), and Asha’s maid Kala (Shirin), are told of the kidnapping. Kala then overhears the queen planning to place the blame on Dilip for the kidnapping, thus doing away with him. Kala finds and informs Dilip that it is safest if he stays away from the kingdom for the time being.
Tiger finds Kirit but is unable to free him. However, the dog is able to lead Dilip, on horseback, to the cabin where the prince is being held. Dilip, Tiger and Bahadur put up a good fight against the ruffians, but the crooked Jalim Singh has Dilip arrested. Jalim attempts to take off with Kirit, but Ram and Rahim are able to rescue him.
The queen learns that the prince has been saved by some unknown persons and arranges that the boy should be found and killed, and that the killer will be appointed Prime Minister. Her plan is foiled by a masked man and eventually Kirit is returned safely to the palace.
But with Dilip having vanished, the minister must find someone else to play bodyguard. The Queen suggests her loyal follower Captain Ajaya (M. Zahoor), but the minister disapproves of that choice. When the Queen starts to form another dastardly plan, the mysterious masked man makes an appearance and cautions her to take no actions against Kirit. But the Queen soon ignores the warning and arranges a plot to frame the minister for some crime, thus leaving Kirit with no protection. But she didn’t count on the involvement of Asha, Kala, Tiger, Bahadur and Tommy (Dog Tommy) in trying to save the life of the child prince. (Thanks to pedrotheapebomb.com) .
let us now enjoy the Parody song,a Triad, sung by Rajkumari, Lallobhai and Ismail.

Today’s song is a funny Parody song taking place in a Mental Hospital and the singing artistes on the screen are all hospital patients including the Hero of the film. The song is from the film Do Dulhe-1955.
This was a film made by United Film Art, Bombay, with the joint producer Gemini Pictures, Madras. The entire film was shot in Gemini Studios, Madras. This was a remake of a very successful Tamil film ” Manam Pola Mangalyam”- 1953, in which Gemini Ganesan ( real name R.Ganesh) and Savitri had acted. This was their first film together. Later they did many films, but from this film onwards their love story started and Ganesan made Savitri his second wife.
In the 30’s and 40’s decades there were many films made in Poona/Bombay and Calcutta which were Bilinguals, i.e. in Marathi and Hindi as well as Bangla and Hindi. This was primarily to grab the local and all India markets. In those days, there were no Hindi films from the south. With the launch of film Chandralekha-1948, first time producer director S S Vasan released his film’s Hindi version on a grand scale all over India with about 700 prints. It was a very bold and maiden effort, but it paid very rich dividends to Vasan.
Encouraged by Vasan’s success, other film companies of South, including AVM entered the fray and from 1949 Bilinguals and Trilingual films were made in Tamil , Telugu and Hindi. Within a few years film remakes in Kannada and Malayalam also started in Madras. Compared to other languages, Kannada and Malayalam film production had started late in their states. Madras took its advantage. Few Tamil film makers made remakes even in Sinhala languages for the Sri Lanka market. By that time their Burmese market was lost. This went on till about the 70’s. After that film makers resorted to dubbing the film or selling the rights to Bombay to make remakes and the import of Hindi remakes from the south ended.
It was interesting to note that during that period, southern film makers had some favourites among Actors, actresses and MDs. Bombay film artistes used to be very eager to go to Madras for shooting, because of few reasons. One- their payments were immediate. Secondly, their production schedules were well planned and the work culture was disciplined. Thirdly, their stay, transport, travel and food arrangements were impeccable. All in all, they had only to go there and work diligently, without having tensions, usually seen in the Bombay film industry.
I have been seeing southern language films since the late 40’s. Their films used to be very entertaining and suitable for family viewing. There was ‘ something for everybody’ in their films. Comedy, Tragedy, Adventure, Fighting, Tears, Love, Lullaby and what not ! But then this made their films lengthy and full of too many characters and subplots.
Today’s film was also one such film. The film was directed by K.J.Mahadevan and the MD was B.S.Kalla. Many south Indian composers had tried their hand at giving music to Hindi films in the 50s decade. MDs like, Ghantasala, B S Kalla, S D Parthasarathi, E.Shankar, C.Subramanyam, B.Laxman, Vishwanathan, R.Sudarshanam, S V Venkataramana, T R Ramanathan and T G Lingappa are few of the less known names-for Hindi belt-from south who gave melodious music, but somehow they did not succeed here. One reason could be their use of southern singers, for whom acceptability was a problem here for Hindi songs. Names like Ramesh Naidu, Adi Narayana Rao and the pair of Vishwanathan- Ramamurthy were at least known names here. Their films like Piya milan-55, Suvarna Sundari-58 and Naya Aadmi-56 had many popular songs.
Balkrishna Kalla and E. Shanker team gave music to films like Mangala-50, Sansar-51, Mr.Sampat-52, Bahut din Huye-54. Balkrishna Kalla with Mohd. Shafi gave music to Krishna Kanhaiya-52. With Parthasarathi and Rajeshwar Rao he gave music to Nishan-49. Independently he gave music to only one film-Do Dulhe-54. B.S.Kalla had also done a small role in the film Mangala-50. The southern composers gave music only to dubbed films or remakes essentially.
The lyricist was south’s favourite Pt. Indra. The cast was huge. Main artistes were Shyama, Sajjan, Vananja, Agha, David, Lalita Pawar, Kanhaiyalal, B M Vyas, Achala Sachdev, Suryakantam, Ishwar lal etc etc. The hero was Sajjan- and in a double role too !. Some of the readers will be surprised with this name. Unfortunately artistes like Sajjan, who were multi-skilled, did not get due recognition in Hindi film industry or in even the general film going public. Artistes like Badri Pershad, Dewan Sharar, Shakuntala Paranjpye, Ranjan etc. were experts in fields other than film acting and had achieved expertise, name and fame in different fields. Sajjan was also one such artiste. He was a film actor, Stage actor, writer of Poetry, assistant film director, a poet, lyricist, Dialogue writer and a T.V.Artiste.
Born on January 15, 1921 in Jaipur, his full name was Sajjan Lal Purohit, a Pushkarna Bramhin. For many generations in his family, no one was interested in music or acting. He was famous with his first name in the movie world. Sajjan did his graduation from Jawahar college, Jodhpur. He had a desire to be a lawyer but not an actor.
In 1941, he arrived in Calcutta and worked as an apprentice in a laboratory of East India Film Company. His initial breakthrough in films was as an extra in films like Masoom (1941), Chowringhee (1942). Sajjan left Calcutta during World War II and reached Bombay. In Bombay he knew Prithwiraj Kapoor from his Calcutta days. He joined the Prithvi Theatre and worked in dramas like, Shakuntala, Pathan, Deewar, Aahuti, Kalakar, Kisan Paisa etc etc. Here he came into contact with Shammi, Raj, Shashi kapoor, Omprakash, Premnath, Zohra Saigal, B M Vyas, Ram Ganguli, Shankar, jaikishen and others. Afterwards, he started doing dramas separately. In ” Dhola Marwan” his heroine was Snehprabha Pradhan. He did many One Man Shows too.
He was a writer of Poetry. He participated in many gatherings of poets. His poetry book ” Jawan” became so popular that even Nehru had bought 100 copies of it. It was reprinted four times.
In Mumbai he worked as an assistant to famous director Kidar Sharma. At that time great showman Raj Kapoor also worked as an assistant to Kidar Sharma. He also worked as assistant to Gajanan Jagirdar and for the film Vakil Sahib-43 and got Rs. 35 as salary.
A poet by heart, Sajjan showed His talent when he wrote dialogues for Meena -1944 and lyrics for Door Chalen -1946, Jail Yatra-47 and Dhanyavad -1948.
His acting debut film was Mera Suhag-47. After that Bombay Theatre’s Muqaddar was released in 1950. His heroine was Nalini Jayvant. As a Hero, he worked with Geeta Bali,Nutan,Nimmi,Shyama,Shakila, Nalini Jaywant etc etc.
Now Sajjan was well established in the film world. In 1950s- 60s Sajjan acted as hero or side-hero in films like, Sainya, Rail Ka Dibba, Bahana, Sheesha, Malkin, Nirmohi, Kasturi, Mehmaan, Lagan, Girl School, paridhaan, Do Dulhe, Ghar-Ghar Mein Diwali, Haa-Haa-Hee-Hee-Hoo-Hoo, Poonam, Jhanjhar, Halla- Gulla. As a hero his last film was Kabuliwala-61 and as an artist he last appeared in the 1986 release Shatru.
Artiste of more than 150 films, Sajjan also worked in TV serials. In Vikram-Betaal he played Betaal. His other serial was Lena-Dena.
Sajjan acted in more than 150 films. Though he was a reasonably good actor, he felt very awkward while singing a song on screen. His Producers and Directors knew this and they gave him minimum songs. Thus he is on record in his 150+ films to have sung around 20 odd songs only, in spite of being a Hero in some films. After retirement, Sajjan was not in good health, but he wrote a book ‘ Ras-Bhav ‘, discussing all the 9 Rasas as enunciated by Bharat Muni’s Treatise on “Natya Shastra”. He also published a book on the Birth Centenary of Prithviraj Kapoor, whom he revered very much. Sajjan died on 17-5-2000.
Film Do Dulhe was an entertaining film. I saw this film again yesterday evening. Here is the story, in short…
Parvati/ Paro (Shyama) is a motherless daughter of B.M.Gupta (B.M.Vyas). Her step mother (Lalita Pawar) and step sister Dulari (Vanaja) torture her with household chores etc. Dulari’s marriage is arranged with Kundan (Sajjan), who comes from Madras to see Dulari. On the way he meets Paro and they fall in love. Paro’s marriage is being arranged with an old widower Seth Deen Dayal (David) who has lent 15 thousand to Paro’s father. Kundan goes to Madras to bring money to pay Deen Dayal . When he comes he sees Paro’s marriage preparations. He returns heartbroken to Madras. Meanwhile Paro also runs away from home and goes to Madras to meet Kundan. They meet but due to misunderstanding he leaves her.
Kundan is caught by mental Hospital employees as their patient kanhaiya-a look alike(Sajjan again). The patient Kanhaiya escapes and is brought as Kundan to Dulari’s house. After a few (actually many) coincidences, everything is clear and finally Kundan marries Paro and a recovered Kanhaiya marries Dulari. Thus Do Dulhe get Do Dulhans and the audience feels relieved from seeing further ridiculous levels the story could go to !
Today’s song is the 6th song from this film to feature here. This is a funny parody song sung by patients of the mental hospital on the screen and after seeing this video you are supposed to ROFL !

# Superstar Child Artist – Junior Mehmood # 10
——————————————————–
Welcome all to the tenth post under this series where we are discussing songs picturised on Junior Mehmood.
We have so far enjoyed songs sung by Mohd Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Hemlata and Shanti Mathur and picturised on Junior Mehmood. All the song performances showcased the talent of Junior Mehmood, as a child-star, where he had performed and entertained movie-watchers. (movie-goers 😊).
In today’s song we will watch Junior Mehmood performing on a ‘parody song’.
This song is from the movie ‘Do Bachche Dus Haath’ of the year 1972.
While preparing this post I come across through some posters of this movie where they mentioned ‘for the first time Junior Mehmood as James Bond’. That is more than sufficient to tell us how popular Junior Mehmood was during those years.
I had an opportunity to speak to him again and I asked him about his role in this movie how he remembers it now. He was as usual very passionate while talking about his role, which was of a ‘detective’ type, where the circumstances lead him helping a small girl and saving her from the ‘goondas’.
As he was talking about this movie and his role, I noted that he still remembered the story of this movie and, he also pointed out to me that Subhash Ghai was the lead hero in this movie. That tells us how deeply he got involved and played the roles given to him.
This fact also be noted in his interviews available on ‘YouTube’.
‘Do Bachche Dus Haath -1972’ was directed by Parvez for ‘Sargam Chitra’. It was produced by S.J. Rajdev. It had Mehmood Junior, Anupama, Subhash Ghai, Ramesh Deo, K.N. Singh, N.A. Ansari, Satyadeep and Premnath (in special appearance).
They were supported by Sajjan, Chandrima Bhaduri, Asit Sen, Jayshree T., and Dog Rexy and Baby Pinky, also featuring Indira Bansal, Imtiaz, Uma Dutt, Anant Tiwari, Uma Khosla, Rajni Bala, Sopariwala, Sunder, Abdul Raut, Khan, Haroon, Jillani, Hasan, Mama, Musa, Khalid, Mukrani, Hamid, Fatima Begam, Mahesh Kumar and others.
Ayaz was the writer of this movie and editing of this movie was done by Kantibhai Shukla.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 23.09.1972.
‘Do Bachche Dus Haath -1972’ had four songs all written by Verma Malik. Music for this movie was composed by Sonik Omi.
Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Sushma Shreshtha and Omi had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Here is the list of songs appearing in this movie.
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Mar gayi, mar gayi, mar gayi, main to haay rabba | Asha Bhonsle |
| 02 | Chal lagaa le sutta, yah jag jhoothha | Asha Bhonsle, chorus |
| 03 | Kaan mein jhumkaa, chaal mein thumkaa (parody song) – | |
| 04 | Honthh gulaabi kurtaa laal, umr hai solah satraa saal | Kishore Kumar |
HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) does not mention the name of the singers. However, I guess that the singer for today’s song must be Sushma Shreshtha and Omi (of Sonik-Omi).
Lyrics for today’s song are by Verma Malik and music is composed by Sonik-Omi.
Let us now enjoy today’s song where Junior Mehmood the ‘Superstar Child Artist’ is is seen playing a ‘female naachnewaali’, and we can see baby Pinky and many others in the picturisation of this song …
With today’s song the movie ‘Do Bachche Dus Haath-1972’ makes its debut on the blog.

Hullo Atuldom
May 3 is not any celebrities birthday going by the listings on the anniversaries page of the blog. But a more important date for followers of movies. That was the date when the first Indian movie released in the year 1913.
“Raja Harishchandra” directed and produced by Shri. Dhundiraj Govind Phalke a.k.a Dadasaheb Phalke, was a silent film that released in Bombay’s Coronation Cinematograph and Variety Hall, Girgaon on 3rd May 1913 after a Premier at Olympia Theatre on 21st April. This was the genesis of the Indian Film Industry which has been entertaining generations since then. The movies, as we have come to love, has thrown up stories that are inspired from our mythology, history, real-life experiences etc. There are fans for a “Jai Santoshi Maa” as well as “Sholay”. I remember that when the Malayalam movie “Swami Ayyappan” came to the theatres in Bombay (it had hit the marquee in 1975 in Kerala) Manoj Kumar’s “Kranti” had also released and our family chose to see the Malayalam movie as it gave us an insight into the life and times of the lord Ayyappa.
Today we are having a song, from a movie, whose title is inspired from a famous song of the late 70s. The director of the movie was a person who has grown up in the film industry (so to say) as he is the son of a famous producer-director. The cast is headed by a fan of movies who himself has a huge fan-following.
I am talking of a song from the 2008 released “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” (meaning “Match made in the heavens”) which was written and directed by Aditya Chopra, son of Yash Chopra who was also the producer of the film. And I need not add that Yash Chopra was a successful producer- director who began his innings in the film industry in the 50s. The movie had a cast headed by Anushka Sharma and Shahrukh Khan.
Today’s song happens when the lead pair have gone to see movie. “A cinema inside a cinema” as I would like to put it. The lady- Taani (Anushka) is bored with the proceedings on the screen. Then she imagines that one of her acquaintances has jumped on to the screen and then the whole atmosphere perks up. He says: “Taani partner do not fear when Raj is here. Humne bhi Ishq ke ustaadon se seekha hai” (I think those are his exact words). And then the song starts.
IMHO this song can claim to be fully inspired by all the preceding generations of actors and actresses. We have Shahrukh Khan and Kajol beginning the song as Raj Kapoor and Nargis, this is followed by Shahrukh as Dev Anand and Bipasha Basu as Sadhana. Then we have Lara Dutta as Helen to Shahrukh’s Shammi Kapoor act which is followed by Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore by SRK and Preity Zinta. The song has SRK and Rani Mukherjee reminding us of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. So basically we go down memory lane as we see this song and try and relive the 50s, 60s and 70s.
I must complement the lyricist Jaideep Sahni for coming up with a song that had to have pre-existing words/lyrics/thoughts. One must not miss how “Babu Moshai” has fitted beautifully into the song. Also worth mentioning the art director’s and set designer’s contributions. They have done so much detailing- we should not miss the book that Preity as Sharmila Tagore is trying to read. It is called “Amar Prem” and has a photo of Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore from “Aradhana” in the song ‘Kora kaagaz tha ye mann mera’. Also we should not miss the huge Raj Kapoor hat at the start of the song as also the Dev Anand Cap, the eye from where the Shammi Kapoor segment starts and finally the long scarfs/mufflers that Rishi Kapoor used to sport and the steps that he and Neetu were exponents of. We should not forget the choreographer too. The composers Salim-Suleiman have also showed that they have also grown up on this fodder. They had an unenviable task of making a song from the music that was tuned by the legends of Bollywood and also not make a bad rehash.
Let us also enjoy this tribute to the great Ustaads (masters).
P.S: After I wrote this post I realized that 3rd May also happens to be Nargis’s death anniversary. It is 39 years since her passing and it was Dadasaheb Phalke’s birth anniversary on 30th April 1870- 150th birthdate.

Today’s song is a Parody song from film Phoolwari-46. It is sung by Mohantara Talpade. Jayashree T and Meena T were her brother’s daughters, I believe. Mohantara was a major female playback singer in the 40s. Starting with film Mamaji-42,she sang 117 songs in 54 films, till Inaam-55. Though she got married in 1950 to Dr. Ajinkya, she continued with using her maiden name to avoid confusion. Mohantara was a popular Bhavgeet and film singer in Marathi also.
In Hindi films we find a variety of songs. Love songs, Happy songs, Sad songs, Comedy songs, Birthday songs, patriotic songs, Chorus songs, prayers, Lories, Bhajans and many more types.
However there is one type of songs which is a sure hit with all viewers and that is a PARODY SONG(in Hindi it is called VIDAMBAN song – विडंबन ). Normally a Parody song is equated with a medley of old popular song tunes, set to new Lyrics, enacted by someone else.
While this is right to a great extent, the actual definition of a Parody song is ” A song which involves changing or copying well known musical ideas or lyrics or copying a particular style of a composer or an actor or even a general twisted style of Music ”.
Our friend AK ji of Songs of Yore says, “As is commonly known, parody is an exaggerated imitation of a person, song, literature or performance to produce a comic effect. It seems parody has existed from the earliest days of dramatic performance. Wikipedia states that according to Aristotle, Hegemon of Thasos was the inventor of a kind of parody; by slightly altering the wording in well-known poems he transformed the sublime into the ridiculous. In ancient Greek literature, a parodia was a narrative poem imitating the style and prosody of epics “but treating light, satirical or mock-heroic subjects”. The ancient Indian treatise on dramaturgy, Natyashstra by Bharat Muni, is of similar antiquity. Though it mentions Prahasan as one of the ten types of play, from its definition it seems to be a low form of performance – something like burlesque – and not quite parody as we know today.
Where do parody songs in Hindi films fit in the above general description? Parody songs do not have any pretensions of being art. They are not intended to mock the original either. Very simply, these songs are a recognition of the original’s popularity. They include a large number of such songs. Broadly classified Parody songs are in two types: one, parody based on a single song, and the other, a medley of songs. There could be some more subtle variations within these broad categories.” (adapted, with thanks, from his article on Songs of Yore dt.2-3-2018)
The very FIRST Parody song in Hindi films came as early as 1936. It came from a film called ” Sunehara Sansaar”-1936. It was a Parody of a famous patriotic song by Dr. Iqbal-” Saare jahan se achha Hindosta hamara…” The parody song was ‘ Saare jahan se achha saabun bana hamara,hum kishtiyan hai iski…’
The lyricist was Vijay Kumar, B.A. and the Music Director was K C Dey.
When the song was released, instead of becoming popular, it drew people’s ire for distorting a patriotic song. There was criticism and several protests.
Another Music Director Master Mohd. (who was well known for composing many patriotic songs in those days, in his films) decided to make a Parody of K C Dey’s famous song, ‘Jao jao aye mere sadhu…’ from Pooran Bhagat-1933.
He included this parody song in same year in his film ‘ Miss frontier Mail ‘-1936. The lyrics for this song were- gaao gaao aye mere aye mere sadhu…’.
It was sung by Minu,the Mystique in the film.
This Minu was actually Minoo Cooper, a regular singer in Bombay city Parsi circles. He used to sing in many Hotels in those days. He has also sung a few more songs in Hindi films later.
This retaliatory Parody song was well received by the audience and it became popular too.
This song has been posted on this Blog, by our dear SUDHIR ji, on 29th June 2012.,along with a very interesting write up, for which he is known.
So, parody songs entered Hindi films with an interesting History behind them !
I can recall that during our younger days, it was our hobby to twist the popular songs with comic lyrics. Even today I still remember a few of them…
1) Jiya beqarar hai
Nargis ko bukhar hai,
Aja be Dilip kumar
tera intejar hai.
2) Dhoti chhod ke mat jaana
Dhoti saath mein le jaana
kasam tujhe mere Pehelwanki….
3) Bhaiya mere, saambaar mein Idli na dubaana
4) Ek saal pehle,tum to Bekaar the
Gadhe pe sawar the,
aaj bhi ho,aur kal bhi rahoge…
5) De gayi bill, budhiya dukaan ki… etc etc
I am sure many of the readers also must have done this,in their times. These song Parodies added spice to our lives. So when some film had a Parody song, we used to see that film without fail !
Making a Parody song is one of the easiest matters for the Music Directors and many Music Directors have resorted to Parody songs at least once, except probably serious composers.
The cast of the film Phoolwari was Motilal, Khursheed, Dikshit, Tiwari, Himmat Sharma (brother of Kidar Sharma), Leela Shinde, Baby Anwari etc etc. The film was made in Ranjit studios. Ranjit was almost like a factory, churning out films after films continuously. The studio had 6 shooting floors. When a Ranjit film was not shooting, the floor would be given on hire to other producers. When film Phulwari was being made, there were other five films shooting in Ranjit , on other floors. They were Prabhu ka Ghar, Chaand Chakori, Dharati, Rajputani and Seeta Haran. In this list, Khurshid had 2 films, Trilok kapoor was in 2 films and Mumtaz Shanti also had 2 films being shot there at the same time. In other films actors like Jairaj and Surendra were acting. By the way this was Khurshid’s last film at Ranjit Studios.
The film was directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi. Chaturbhuj Doshi (1894–1969) was a Hindi and Gujarati writer-director of Indian cinema. He was one of the top Gujarati screenplay writers, who helped script stories for the Punatar productions. He is stated to be one of the leading figures who launched the Gujarati film industry with work on notable films like Gunsundari (1948) and Nanand Bhojai (1948). He was well known for his family socials and had become a celebrity in his own right. He made a name for himself as a journalist initially and was referred to as the “famous journalist” & publicist by Baburao Patel, editor of Filmindia.
His debut film as a director was Gorakh Aya (1938), produced by Ranjit Movietone, though he joined Ranjit in 1929, as a scriptwriter. In 1938, he directed another film for Ranjit, a social comedy, The Secretary, and both films were box-office successes for Doshi. His forte was socials, regularly adapting stories and novels for films. He worked initially on comedies like Secretary and Musafir (1940), but then “shifted to more significant films”.
Chaturbhuj Anandji Doshi was born in 1894 in Kathiawad, Gujarat, British India. He was educated at the University of Bombay, after graduation he started work as a journalist for a daily, Hindustan (1926), working for editor Indulal Yagnik. His entry into films was working as a scenarist in the silent era for directors like Jayant Desai, Nandlal Jaswantlal & Nanubhai Vakil. He joined Ranjit Movietone in 1929, and wrote stories and screenplay for several of Ranjit films.
Film Gorakh Aya (Gorakh has come) in 1938, was the first film directed by Doshi. It was produced by Ranjit Movietone with screenplay by Gunvantrai Acharya & dialog-ues by P. L. Santoshi. The music, termed “good” was composed by Gyan Dutt. The Secretary (1938), was a “riotous comedy”, starring Madhuri, Trilok Kapoor. Charlie. The music was composed by Gyan Dutt, became a regular in most of the films directed by Doshi. Musafir in 1940 was a comedy costume drama, which had Charlie playing a prince.
Bhakta Surdas, a devotional film directed by Doshi in 1942, is stated to be the “most famous” of the several versions made. It starred K. L. Saigal and Khursheed “the singing idol(s) of millions”, winning “unprecedented popularity” everywhere.
Maheman (1942) starred Madhuri, Ishwarlal, Shamim and Mubarak. Music director Bulo C. Rani had come to Bombay in 1942, and joined Ranjit Studios assisting Khemchand Prakash in music direction.
Doshi helped enormously in the development of the Gujarati cinema. During 1948-49 he directed three successful Gujarati films which “brought immense success to the industry”. The success of the Gujarati film Kariyavar in 1948, directed by Chaturbhuj Doshi from a story by Shaida, called Vanzari Vaav, helped establish the Gujarati film industry along with other films like Vadilo Ne Vanke (1948) by Ram chandra Thakur and Gadono Bel (1950) by Ratibhai Punatar. His next Gujarati film was Jesal Toral (1948) based on folk-lore, which proved a big box-office success. In 1949, Doshi directed another Gujarati film, Vevishal, an adaptation of Meghani’s novel of the same name.
He also wrote stories, and one of his stories Pati Bhakti was used in the Tamil film En Kanawar (1948) produced by Ajit Pictures, which starred the Veena maestro, Sundaram Balachander, who was also the debut director and music composer for the film. In all he directed 24 Hindi films. His last Hindi film was Sanskar-1958. He had also written few songs in film Maya Bazar-32.
Chaturbhuj Doshi died on 21 January 1969 in Bombay, Maharashtra, India.

In the cast, you will find a name Dikshit or Dixit. In the olden films Dixit and Ghory was a comedy pair, which became very famous. Some times they even acted singly in different films. Phoolwari-46 was one such film for Dixit.
Manohar Janardhan Dixit was born on 12-11-1906 at Sinner in Nashik district,Maharashtra (Bombay state at that time.) His comedy career started with silent film ‘Sparkling youth’-1930. His first day of work in a film was 14-11-1929. He did 3 more silent films with Navjivan Films and then joined Ranjit studio. Here he met his mate Nazir Ahmed Ghori,born on 11-8-1901 at Bombay.He was the senior of the two,having started in 1927. He worked till 1931 in silent films of various companies and then joined Ranjit studio in 1931 Here too he did 4 silent films.
He paired with Dixit first time in Char Chakram-1932,directed by Jayant Desai.The film was a terrific hit and the pair did many films together like, Bhutio mahal, Do Badmash, Bhola shikar, Bhool bhulaiya, Vishwamohini, Nadira etc. They worked together till 1947,doing solo films also in between. Unfortunately none of their films have survived and we know about their acting only through Photographs,interviews and articles. However Dixit’s solo films like Pehle Aap-44, Jeevan yatra-46, Aap ki sewa mein-47 and Pugree-47 are still available. In film Pugree,his name was Ramu kaka and the very fat Dixit (222 pounds) carried the world’s smallest dog-Chikoo in the film. Later comedian Omprakash did this role in the remake of the film in Dil Daulat Duniya-1972.
Dixit acted in 66 Talkie films and 8 silent films in 17 years. He died on 29-6-1949 due to a massive heart attack. His partner Ghori migrated to Pakistan and did 8 films there till 1960,without much success. He too died on 9-12-1977 at Karachi. (Thanks to book Ina Mina Dika by Sanjit Narwekar.)
Music was by Hansraj Behl, for this Ranjit movie. I have heard many many parody songs, have seen also many, but this must be the only time when the singer of the original song is also in the same film in which that singer’s song is ‘parody- ed’. Today’s song is a parody of the famous song of Khurshid from film Tansen-43 ” Ghataa ghanghor ghor, Mor machaave shor “. I wish I was able to this film.

Songs Repeated in Hindi Films – 3
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Okay, okay, just before you sit up and ask again – “ये क्या हो रहा है”, a quick reminder that we are into this series of repeat songs. This is the third episode today.
There are well known, as well as obscure, instances existing in which the reused songs appear in the list of the songs of the latter film. The reuse listing of the song can appear as it is – a few examples being,
- “Gori Zulm Karey Zulf Ka Bikhar Jaana” – this song appears in the listings for the film ‘Main Aur Mera Bhai’ (1961) and the film ‘Pyaar Banaa Afsaana’, an unreleased film from 1960s.
- The four songs of the film ‘Ram Rajya’ of 1943 are reused in the film ‘Ramayan’ of 1954
“Beena Madhur-Madhur Kachhu Bol…”
“Ajab Vidhi Ka lekh Kisi Se Padha Nahi Jaaye…”
“Jhoole Mein Jhool Laal, Jhool Tu Jhool…”
“Tyagmayi Tu Gayi, Teri Amar Bhaawna…”
Note: The music director for both films is same – Shankar Rao Vyas; and the lyricist of these four songs is also the same – Ramesh Gupta.
- “Beeti Jaat Barkha Ritu Saajan Nahin Aaye” – this song appears in the listings for the film ‘Muraad’ (1939) and the film ‘Dharam Bandhan’ (1940).
- Four songs of an unreleased film ‘Parda’ from late 1940s are reused in the film ‘Achhaa ji’ of 1950
‘Taqraar Ko Badal Do Pyaar Mein, Na Karo Chhed Bekaar Mein…’
‘Bhool Hai Kisi Ko Apnana, Vichaaron Mein Basana…’
‘Kisi Ke Bholepan Ne… Mere Mann Ko Kheencha…’
‘Bhar Jaaye Aasmaan To Aahon Ki Kya Khata…’
Note: The lyricist (Indiwar) and music director (Shyam Babu Pathak) are the same. The film director (SH Thirani) is also the same.
- Six songs of the 1957 film ‘Pawanputra Hanuman’ have been reused in the 1969 film ‘Hanuman Chalisa’.
- Strange occurrence – two films of the same year, 1958 – ‘Rifle Girl’ and ‘Miss Toofaan Mail’ share the song – “Bheegi Hawa Mausam Jawaan, Masti Mein Dooba Saara Jahaan…”.
- Rare occurrence, the same song is used in three films. The song is “Bhiksha De De Maiya Pingla, Jogi Khada Hai Dwaar…”. The films are ‘Bharthari’ (1944), ‘Raajyogi Bharthari’ (1954), and ‘Gopichand Bharthari’ (1965). Lyricist identified for these songs is Pandit Indra.
- The song “Bolo Jaywantrao Ek Naam Prem Bhara. . .” appears in ‘Mera Imaan’ (1934) and ‘Swadesh Dewa’ (1946).
- Interesting re-use – the song “Phool Chun Le Mere Baalam Ki Jaane Kab Daal Jhuke” appears in ‘Naubahaar’ of 1952 and then again in ‘Firdaus’ of 1953. Artist combination is the same – Sahir, Roshan, Lata.
- Another one – “Baat Chalat Nai Chunari Rang Daali” – appears in film ‘Ladki’ of 1953 and then again in ‘Rani Roopmati’ of 1959.
Then there are films with the same list of songs.
- ‘Satyanarayan’ of 1948 and ‘Bhikhaari’ of 1949
- ‘Sushila’ of 1966 and ‘Subah Zaroor Aayegi’ of 1977
- ‘Amar Kahaani’ of 1949 and ‘Kanchan’ of 1955
- ‘Sipaahi’ of 1941 and ‘Jangi Jawaani’ of 1943
- ‘Suhaana Geet’ of 1941 and ‘Toote Dil’ of 1947
- ‘Ram Bhakti’ of 1958 and ‘Bhakt Raaj’ of 1950
- ‘Paanch Dushman’ of 1973 and ‘Daulat Ke Dushman’ of 1987
Although not specifically confirmed, in most cases, the above list of film pairs with all songs the same, the situation is that the latter film is a somewhat modified, re-certified and re-released version of the earlier film.
The above sampling is in no way exhaustive. More such instances may be discovered by a more meticulous review of the song lists in Geet Kosh.
But then, this observation has also to be annotated by saying that there are exceptions. There are many known cases where the repeat songs do not appear in the official list of songs of the film. The song may have been used as is without any modifications. The song may be used as an abridged version i.e. the stanzas used in repeat form are less than the original version. Or even when the song may be used quite differently.
These repeat instances of songs do not appear in the list of songs of the latter film. This is confirmed by a quick review of the Geet Kosh listings, which are primarily based on the information from the film booklets, and/or information printed on the gramophone records – 78 rpm records or LPs/EPs. Casual reuse, we may call it. Of course, ownership / copyright / permissions etc. are things that have to be taken care of. But it is always fun to be watching a film (especially when watching for the first time), and one is suddenly confronted with an unexpected song. The song already has a life and existence of its own. And it has its own popularity and following. All of a sudden out of the blue, the song will make a surprise appearance in another film, in another time. And one is simply – wow, एसा भी होता है – such things happen too.
The first song in this series – “Aa Ja Re Pardesi. . .” belongs to this category. As does this fun song that I bring to your notice today. An iconic song – a very typical and very strongly a Mehmood song, from the earlier film ‘Gumnaam’ from 1965, makes an unexpected and surprise appearance in the 1968 film ‘Brahmchaari’. This time around, the song is performed by the Junior incarnation of Mehmood, and he has done a superlative job of presenting this song. This song does not appear in the list of songs of the film ‘Brahmchaari’, and hence, when it appears in the film, the mind takes a double take – okay wow, this song, here.
The situation can be labeled as a ‘male-child item song’ 🙂 . It is just there, does not really add to the storyline content of the film. The children of Shammi Kapoor’s private orphanage are together, along with Mohan Choti, the handy man around the house, and Rajshri, who has descended on to this ‘family’ as a distraught outsider with no place to go. The song is heard on a gramophone player, on which the 78 rpm record is playing.
As I said earlier, Junior Mehmood has done a remarkable job performing this song, at that age. Born in 1956, he was all of 12 years old when he performed this song. A little short in height for his age, this performance is really lovable.
This video clip contains two stanzas, one less from the original three. However, my hunch is that all three were initially included when ‘Brahmchaari’ was released. In this video clip also, as the action moves from the first to the second stanza, there is slight jump in the visual, indicating there might have been a cut made – and the middle stanza was deleted later, for whatever reason.
Avinash ji has been posting a mini series on Junior Mehmood performances in Hindi films, so I will skip getting into more details about this fun child artist. Somehow the natural transformation, as these child artists move from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, does not seem to happen. The success of what their performance is, and the kudos it has drawn, continues to overshadow this required transformation as one grows in years. Very few examples are where an artist of proven merit in child roles has also made a successful career once having grown up. But that discussion is maybe another article, or another series.
Meanwhile, enjoy this really likeable performance, which I am sure will prompt you to go and take a look at the original ‘Gumnaam’ song also. I myself sure did.
Song – Hum Kaale Hain To Kya Hua Dilwaale Hain (Brahmchaari) (1968) Singers – Mohammed Rafi, Mehmood, Lyrics – Shailendra, MD – Shankar Jaikishan
