We observe that two movies (out of eight) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago (on 19 april 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. So we have six unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge today (19 April 2023).
“Lalkaar”(1956) is one of the movies that is eligible for BTYC today.
“Lalkaar”(1956) was produced by Labhshankar T Mehta and Kantilal M Parekh and directed by Nanubhai Vakil for Himachal Films, Bombay. The movie had Nirupa Roy, Mahipal, Krishnakumari, Ram Singh, Kumkum, Radhakishen, Kesari, Bheem, Sadiq, Wazir Muhammad Khan, Jugnu, Prakash, Champak Lala, Moti, Naazi, Nalini Chonkar,
Sharad Shukla, Narbada Shankar, Hiralal etc in it.
“Lalkaar”(1956) had eight songs in it. Three songs have been covered so far.
Here is the fourth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Shamshad Begam and femal chorus. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by Shanmukh Babu Upadhyay.
Only audio of this song is available which sounds like a Rajasthani dance song. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Chor-1950. For reasons unknown, the name of this film in HFGK is written as Chore, whereas everywhere else, including in Hindi in HFGK itself it is mentioned as Chor only !
The film was directed by Anand Prasad Kapoor (32 films as a director and 2 films as an actor) and the film had music from Pt. Govind Ram. Before we move further, I have a query – do you know which actor in Hindi films had his real name as Indriya Daman (इंद्रिय दमन ) ? I know it is a difficult question and 99% readers will not be able to give the right answer.
It was almost a custom in Hindi films, until recently, to have a ” Filmi” name instead of having the real name. There were many reasons for this, like hiding odd names, religion, caste, language or mostly to avoid having a very common name. Sometimes existing names in the industry also forced the artiste to have a pseudonym. For example, most people know that Meenakumari’s real name was Mehjabin. Do you know there was another actress with the same real name Mehjabin…who ? Ok, who were the well known film artistes having the real names like – Kalyan kumar, Shashikala, Gopal Bedi, Padmavati, Nargis jahangir, Susheela Pawar, Badshah Begum, Roshan Ara, Zulfiqar Ali, Sunita Kulkarni, Khurshid Mirza, Sahebjan, Syed jafri, Vijaya Deshmukh, Yasmin Joseph, Krishna Sarin or Vishwanath ?
There are more than 100 odd names like this, but these names are enough to prove my point. All right, here are the answers…. Real name and Filmi name…
Mehjabin-Jabeen, Kalyan Kumar-Anup kumar, Shashikala-Minakshi Seshadri, Gopal Bedi- Ranjit, Padmavati-Mamta kulkarni, Nargis Jahangir- Shammi aunty, Susheela Pawar- Vanmala, Badshah Begum-Shakeela, Roshan ara- Husn Bano/ Naseem Bano/ Sarojini, Zulfiqar Ali- Feroz Khan, Sunita Kulkarni- Kajal Kiron, Khurshid Mirza- Renuka Devi, Sahebjan- Sulochana Latkar, Syed Jafri- Jagdeep, Vijaya Deshmukh- Sandhya, Yasmin Joseph-Mandakini, Krishna Sarin- Bina Rai and Vishwanath- Nana Patekar.
Now coming to the original first question – Who was Indriya Daman ? He was none other than actor Shekhar- Hero of today’s film, Chor-1950. He was born on 8-10-1923,at Dehradun. He did his schooling in Meerut and Graduated from Agra university. Then he worked as an Announcer in All India Radio,Delhi. He came to Bombay with a desire to act in films. He got the Hero’s role in Devendra Goel’s first production,” Aankhen”-1950,opposite his own dreamgirl Nalini Jaywant. Composer Madan Mohan also made his debut with Aankhen-50. In Spite of 3 debutants,the film became a Hit. The 5′ 8” tall,fair and handsome Shekhar became a star overnight.
Shekhar became very famous when he sang ‘ Tujhe kya sunaun main dilruba ‘ from film Aakhri daon-58 ( melody made by Madan Mohan and inspired by Sajjad Husain’s ‘ye hawa ye raat ye chandni’ from film Sangdil, in Talat’s voice). Shekhar was a very lucky person.In one of the interviews he gave in 1956,he himself has recounted incidents where his luck helped him. This interview can be read on Cineplot. After leaving films,Shekhar looked after his production and Distribution business,expanding it further. Shahid Latif was his close friend and when Shahid made his first film Darwaza-54,he gave the distribution rights for Delhi and U.P. of this film to his friend Shekhar. Thus started his business even while he was still acting. Shekhar acted in about 35 films.
Shekhar’s career as an actor was cut short abruptly,because he decided to become Film producer.He produced Chhote Babu-57,Aakhri Dao-58 & Bank Manager-59.The last one was a total wash out. Not heeding to it, he started” Pyas”,with Phani Mazumdar as director & N.Dutta as M D. Bina Rai was signed as heroine against himself. To arrange finance he accepted C grade films, such as Dilli Ka Dada with Sheikh Mukhtar & Hum Matwale Naujawan, both 62 movies. Soon he was out of the job & worst, his film remained stalled, due to financial crunch. Shekhar completed the film with great difficulty.The film was ultimately released in 1968, with a new title “Apna Ghar Apni Kahani”. As anticipated,the film attracted no audience,due to its dated look & long forgotten, middle aged lead pair. Financially ruined, Shekhar migrated to Canada. He expired there, a long time back.
The music director of this film was Pt. Govind Ram, who was one of the most respected persons in the film industry. C.Ramchandra was very much impressed with his music and work method. Lata Mangeshkar also respected him calling him ” Master ji”. However none of her songs composed by Govind Ram became famous or a hit song. It is very sad that his date of birth or even the date of death is not known.
In the pre-partition period of Hindi films, there were many schools of music directors, many times on a regional basis, but some were just unique. The Punjabi school of film composing was a very important and innovative school among these. This school gained popularity in the 1940s, which also resulted in the immense popularity of Punjabi folk music. Ghulam Haider was considered to be the most important of these, but equally great were Pandit Amarnath , Shyam Sundar , Husnlal – Bhagatram , G. A. Chishti , and Pandit Gobindram .
Pandit Gobindram Ji ( born in 1912) was a trained musician from Lahore, and was equally popular in both Hindi and Punjabi films. Unlike other music directors of the Punjabi school, music composed by him did not typically reflect native Punjabi trends, but instead lay firmly in the category of mainstream 1940s’ music. One could very well say that he played a crucial part in shaping the music of the 1940s. His music is truly melodious and varied, with a unique combination of highly expressive tunes, yet very fun and foot tapping and rhythmically catchy. He is one of the music directors who used a very large number of singers, only second to Gyan Dutt, one of his worthy contemporaries. He excelled equally in composing happy, sad, romantic, serious, comical, classical, just any kind of songs. It is a pity that he has never received the attention that he deserved.
Among his landmarks are the introduction of enormous contributions to making Shamshad Begum and Zohrabai the top singers in Hindi films. He recorded the maximum number of Hindi film songs with Shamshad Begum – 86 songs in 19 films. He was also one of the foremost music directors to encourage and bring forward great veteran Rafi , and also introduced great singer Zeenat Begum to films. He has 32 films to his credit and each one had equally superb music. He composed 302 songs.
Some of his films were Himmat-41,Sahara-43, Pagli-43, Aabroo-43, Naseeb-45, Laila Majnu-45, Sassi Punnu-46, Chalis Karod-46, Ghar ki izzat-49, Nisbat-49, Bholi-49, Raj mukut-50, Chore-50, Sarkar-51 and his last film Naqab-55. Most popular singers of that period have graced his songs. His use of light music, Ghazals, Thumris and various popular music forms in films, provide a ready insight into the uniqueness of 1940s music, and with a slightly unique flavour of both his compositions as well as a tiny tinge of Punjabi style.
Pandit Gobindram Ji started his career with Jeevan Jyoti (1937), but his first Hindi film in the 1940s was Himmat (1941). Today, it is remembered for being the second ever Hindi film of veteran singer Shamshad Begum Ji, where she beautifully sang the traditional Dadra ‘Inhin Logon Ne Le Leena Dupatta Mora’ , in her young, sweet but powerful voice. The famous song with the same lyrics in Pakeezah (1972) is largely a copy of this song. This was the first song composed by Gobindram that helped him gain recognition. Other songs from this film included a beautiful duet by Ghulam Haider and Umraozia Begum , ‘Main Hoon Rani Ek Sunehri Nagri Ki’.
His last film was Naqaab-55. Gobindram worked with more than 30 lyricists during his career. With 56 songs in 8 films, his collaboration was the highest with Ishwar Chandra Kapoor. Some of the other prominent lyricists he worked with include Bharat Vyas , Ram Murti Chaturvedi , Ramesh Gupta , and Qamar Jalalabadi . (adapted from an article by Vidur Sury, with thanks).
Let us now listen to the duet sung by Shamshad Begum and S.D.Batish.
Song- Tere gaaon mein sajan mora dil na lagey (Chor)(1950) Singers- Shamshad begum, S D Batish, Lyricist- Harish Bharadwaj, MD- Pt. Gobind Ram
Lyrics

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
# Desh ki mitti ki khushboo #
————————————————————————
Welcome all to this post under the title ‘Desh Ki Mitti Ki Khushboo’ after a very long gap.
The following three posts were presented on the blog under this caption earlier.
| S No | Song | Date of post |
|---|---|---|
| 1) | Ek thhi maa punyakoti | 14 January 2015 |
| 2) | Sangam mein nahaa lo aur punya kamaa lo | 8 february 2016 |
| 3) | Arun Kiran Sheesh Bhushan | 20 february 2016 |
However this series then went on backburner. When I went abroad for a project assignment for almost three years, this series totally lost its way among other priorities/posts.
When I took up this series I envisaged songs that would discuss folklores, talk about folktales, folksongs, culture, traditions, customs of our Country, patriotic songs, songs that would be based on historical and yes geographical settings of our country too.
I had even decided to include songs based on art and crafts of our country (if there were any).
I was sure that I will be able to find many songs in our films based on the above theme.
Today we resume this series, after a gap of almost seven years. 🙂 Now in the recent months when I was regularly browsing the blog and remaining songs from various decades in the Geet Kosh, I found that there are many songs from movies based on ‘mythology’ which can be included in this series.
So here is a song from the movie ‘Kan Kan Mein Bhagwaan-1963’.
It is the song telling us about the four sacred places (‘chaar dhaam’) viz. Badrinath, Dwarka, Rameshwaram and Jagganathpuri of Hindu religion in our country.
‘Kan Kan Mein Bhagwaan-1963’ was directed by Babubhai Mistry for ‘Roopkalaa Pictures’. It was produced by Mahipatray Shah.
It had Anita Guha, Mahipal, with Ramsingh, Krishnakumari, Kummo Tripathi, and Raja Nene. They were supported by Ratnamala, T.N. Sinha, Prakash, Yunus Parwez, Mridula, Punam Kapoor, Baijnath, Ajit, Rehana, Uma Dutt, R.S. Dube, Munshi, Shekhar, Chand, Devchand, Lal Bahadur, Kishore, Dilawar Khan, Baby Chand, Burhan, Jugal Kishore, Dinanath, Vijay Kumar and Master Aziz.
The story of this movie was written by Vishwanath Pande, C.K. Mast, Pandit Madhur, and S.M. Abbas.
Editing of this movie was done by Ramchandra Mahadik.
‘Kan Kan Mein Bhagwan-1963’ had nine songs, all written by Pandit Bharat Vyas. The music was composed by Pandit Shivaram.
Mahendra Kapoor, Manna Dey, Mukesh and Suman Kalyanpur had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Mahendra Kapoor had sung six solo songs in this movie and Manna Dey had sung one solo, Mukesh had one duet with Suman Kalyanpur which has been posted on the blog. Suman Kalyanpur had one solo song other than the duet with Mukesh which has also been posted on the blog.
Following is the list of the songs of this movie as appearing in the HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970).
| S.No. | Song Title | Posted On |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Sabko naach nachaane waala,/a> | 24.11.2011 |
| 02 | Bhagwaan Krishna ki amar kahaani | |
| 03 | Jaa jaa jaa chhod de o chhaliyaa | 07.08.2010 |
| 04 | Apne piyaa ki main to bani re joganiya,/a> | 25.10.2009 |
| 05 | Bhaarat bhoomi mahaan hai | Being covered in this post |
| 06 | Ye duniya banana aur banaa ke phir chalaana | 07.08.2020 |
| 07 | Nadiya na piye kabhi apna jal | 15.05.2015 |
| 08 | Ho o naag devtaa traahimaam paahimam | 28.08.2021 |
| 09 | Kan kan mein bhagwaan |
So far, six songs out of the nine songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. We are going to listen to the seventh song from this movie today on the blog.
Today’s song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and it is a background song. In the picturisation of the song we can see actor Mahipal leaving behind his wife (Anita Guha) and mother (Ratnamala) in the village and setting out for the journey of the four ‘pilgrimage centres’ mentioned in the song. Thus we can see Badrinath, Dwarka, Rameshwar and Jagannath temples shown in the picturisation in the order they are mentioned in the song.
Lyrics for the song are by Bharat Vyas and music is composed by Pandit Shivram.
As I have mentioned in my earlier posts with the songs of this movie, I like the songs from this movie very much and they are a part of my nostalgia of ‘black and white’ movies I watched during my childhood days. The songs of this movie and the movie ‘Janam Janam Ke Phere’ have been embedded on my mind since then.
Let us now listen to and enjoy one more song from ‘Kan Kan Mein Bhagwaan’.

Today’s song is from an ” interesting” film – Pamposh-1953.
I have always been stating that History is never permanent. Whenever new evidence comes, the history changes to that effect. Same is the case with Film History. It keeps on changing, whenever honest workers dig up new evidence with credible proofs. This is normal and Film History lovers have accepted it too. Occasionally – very occasionally or almost rarely, some such evidence comes out which no one had ever dreamt about and when no one had ever doubted the existing accepted matters as facts.
From the early 80’s or to be precise, when Harmandir Singh Hamraz ji published his HFGK for the 50’s decade, as the first in his series of many decades subsequently, we all had known that the Music Director of film Pamposh-1953 was Manoharlal Khanna – father of MD Usha Khanna, the second prolific woman composer for hindi films. (the first prolific woman MD was Saraswati Devi). It was mentioned in the HFGK and Usha Khanna too had repeatedly told so in her articles and interviews.
During the last few years, I have met close relatives of many yesteryear artistes and interviewed them. One thing I noticed was that most relatives, those close ones, did not know or were not sure of certain matters. Sometimes they knowingly told wrong things to enhance the image of that artiste. So I learnt to counter check facts before including them in the interview material.
Usha Khanna’s case also seems to be like this. I carefully listened to her interview about her father, posted on RMIM recently and I found that she made claims which were not wholly correct about her father. One of the claims she always made was that it was she who actually had given music to film pamposh, but her father’s name was credited. Actually neither Usha Khanna (who was barely 12 year old in 1953)nor her father M.L.Khanna had given music to film Pamposh-53. It is noteworthy to note that HFGK has a footnote for this film stating that ” The film booklet mentions MD’s name as Mohan Lal Aima and Cecil Mendoza”. Enthusiastic senior RMIM members worked furiously on this issue and dug up several proofs to arrive at a conclusion that MOHAN LAL AIMA was actually the Music Director of film Pamposh-53.
Film Pamposh was screened at the Cannes Film Festival, France on 9-4-1954 with the French title “FLEUR DE LOTUS” (Lotus of Kashmir or कश्मीरी कमल ). In that also the MD’s name was given as Mohan Lal Aima. This film was made in English, French, Spanish,Italian, German, Hindi, Bengali and Tamil and had won high praise in Cannes, as per the French newspaper “LE MONDE”. This information is from the book ” The world of Ezra Mir” by N.J.Kamath, pub.2005.
I am not only impressed but also amazed to see how the active RMIM members coordinate while working on a research project. Some of the senior members, like Magicians, produce Links, Photographs, Book extracts, Paper cuttings etc. to add to the information. I am not taking any names, because
i) the list will be too long and
ii) they all are equally knowledgeable and hard workers.
Imagine doing their regular jobs and yet contributing enthusiastically on the forum which is simply superhuman ! My Hats Off to RMIM !. Over the years, they have contributed substantially to Hindi film history. I Hope some members produce a book on RMIM. One small book already published is not enough.
Now the important point would be to know who this M L Aima is. Here is his information,collected from various sources made available on RMIM forum.
Mohan Lal Aima was born in a family of ‘Datatreya Kauls’ of Fateh Kadal, Srinagar, on 21-7-1922 . This area was across the Jhelum river and close to Syed Ali Akbar locality. His father , Pandit Ved Lal Aima had earned respect and goodwill in the society even with his modest means and simple living. The family got Aima nickname as some elder from this clan was a gifted osteopath (Waatangor) who cured many people with fractures and dislocations.
After completing his M.A. LLB, and a Diploma in Statistics, he was to join Bar and establish himself as an advocate, but contrary to that, he gave a surprise/shock to his family and the conservative Kashmiri Pandit society ( at that point of time) when he decided to opt for music and singing as his career. During those days, it was something like a rebellious act for his middle-class family. And he earned the nickname “Mohan Chhakri”.
He also led a group of boys that sang this song when Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and Sheikh Mohd Abdullah addressed a huge gathering at Palladium cinema Lal chowk Srinagar in November 1947 . This song was written by Maulana Masoodi, a close associate of Sheikh Mohd Abdullah during those days and it used to be played as an anthem song in official functions during 1948 and 1949.
He scored music for first full-length Kashmiri feature film MAENZRAAT. He scored music for Nadim sahib’s opera ‘Bombur Ta Yemberzal’ that was widely appreciated and shown to Russian dignitaries Nikita Khruschev and Nikolai Bulganin. during their visit to Kashmir. It was performed in early December, 1955 at Nedou’s Hotel , Srinagar by a galaxy of Kashmiri artists and singers. Marshal Bulganin was reportedly seen tapping his foot when the artists sang the Bomburo Bomburo. He also scored music for the Kashmiri version of the movie “Shayar e Kashmir’ Mehjoor”.
His tune for Nadim Sahib’s composition “Bomburo Bumburo Shaam Rang Bomburo” became popular in the entire length and breadth of the country after it was used in a Bollywood movie.
He scored music for Ezra Mir’s 1953 film “Lotus of Kashmir(Pamposh)”.It was produced by Ambalal J. Patel. He also scored music for “ROKO” a short telefilm produced for Door Darshan by M Y Bhat . It was telecast from four metros of the country sometime in1975 or 1976. He further gave music to the film “Kashmira”, produced by Childrens Film Society.
He was also commissioned by Muzaffar Ali as a music consultant cum co-composer for his aborted high profile film Zooni ( Story based on the life of Habba Khatoon ) . The music of the international version was to be done by Oscar winner Japanese composer, Riyuchi Sakamoto, while music for all the songs in Kashmiri was to be scored by Mohan Lal Aima. And the renowned fashion designer, Mary McFadden of New York had been engaged to design the costumes of the film.Muzaffar Ali had to put his project on hold due to widespread militancy in Kashmir. The shooting of this high profile movie with Dimple Kapadia and Vinod Khanna in lead roles had been started during the summer of 1989.
He was the Head of the Music section in Radio Kashmir, Srinagar from 1949 to 1964. Aima was sent as Director General, on deputation to Kabul for Radio Afghanistan. He became extremely popular there. Later he was transferred to New Delhi and Bombay also. During 1979, he lived in Seven Bunglows area of Andheri West in Bombay. He was always eager to help the visiting Kashmiri artistes and arranged for their staying free at Bombay.
Aima could play several traditional Kashmiri Musical instruments. In Bombay, he prepared a CD of kashmiri Devotional geets. It was named ” Man Pamposh”. It became very popular. In 1990, he was bed ridden with Cancer and he died in Bombay.
Many eminent music experts and his friends like Padmashree Pran Kishore Kaul, Bihari Kak – actor, Muzaffar Ali, Padmashri Moti Lal Khemu and others have written about him.
His brother Omkarnath Aima was an actor. He was the hero of the First Kashmiri film “Maenz Raat”. Onkar’s son Alok Aima was also an actor and worked in many Hindi films like “Jaane bhi do yaaron “. M.L Aima’s son Satish Kaul was also an actor. (Based mainly on an article by Shri Autar Mota, on his Blog The Chinar Shade, with thanks and RMIM sources.)
This film was directed by Ezra Mir. Some of the Senior readers, in the bracket of 55 to 75 years of age would recollect the Indian Documentaries made by Ezra Mir, shown before almost every film in the theatres. Indian News Reel and these documentaries on various subjects were actually used as a facility to enter the theatre late and still catch the whole movie from the beginning. These documentaries were made mostly by Ezra Mir and the voice over used to be that of Pratap Sharma usually. ( his younger brother Mahesh Sharma was my good friend in those days).
Ezra Mir was one of the rare persons who worked in the famous Hollywood studios for a considerable time, before he came to India and got involved in making films here. He was also a rare person who, despite being in great demand in the commercial cinema, chose to join a Government organisation and did monumental significant work for the future generations. For a long time, I was thinking him to be a Muslim man, but at a much later date, I came to know that he was a Jew person.
Ezra Mir ( real name Edwyn Meyers) was born on 26-10-1902 at Calcutta. After completing his education, he joined Madon Theatres in 1921. In 1923, he left for Europe and America to work in the film industry. After doing bit roles in Rudolph Valentino’s films in Long Island, New York and working for First National Biograph Studios, he joined the Universal studios as a ” Film Cutter” and later as a Scenario writer. By his diligent and hard work he became the chief of story Department in United Artistes. In 1929, he wrote and directed a film ‘ Simbolisque ‘, which created a sensation in the film circle there.
With the advent of the Talkie, he came back to India , joined Imperial Film co. and made film Noorjehan-31 in Hindi and English. In 32-33, he joined Sagar movietone and directed Zarina-32, Pagal premee-33 and Farzand e Hind-34. Then Ezra went to Calcutta. After doing some films he came back and made documentaries on second world war. In 1940, he was appointed by the Govt. on the Film Advisory Board. In 1942, when V.Shantaram left as its head, he became the head. From 1942 to 1946, he made 170 documentaries.
In 1951 he joined the Films Division and in 1956, became its President. In his tenure here, he made 400 documentaries. In 1970 he got ‘ Padma Shri ‘. Ezra Mir died on 7-3-1993. His Filmography is Noorjehan-31, Zarine-32, Pagal premi-33, Farzand e Hind-34, Mera Pyara and Rasheeda-35,Jeevan Sangram, Parivartan,Rajdulari and Shaitan ka pash-36, Rikshawala-38,Sitara-39, Beete din-47, pamposh-54 and Raju aur gangaram-64.
The cast of the film was Moghali (Leela Kanade), B.Bilimorea, Violet Smith,Savitri,Vinod, Savi Multani, Rusi Patel and others. The story, screenplay and direction was of Ezra Mir. The film was produced by Ambalal Patel, who was with Sagar Movietone when it was launched in 1932. The lyricist was Manohar lal Khanna.There were 5 songs sung by Seeta Kalyanpur and Moti Sagar -3 solos and 2 duets.
Lastly, about the singer of today’s song-Seeta Kalyanpur. I have not got any information about her anywhere, but I faintly remember having read somewhere that She was the sister of Suman Kalyanpur’s husband. However I can’t confirm it. With this song Film Pamposh and Singer Seeta Kalyanpur make their Debut on our Blog.
Song- Jannat hai Kashmir hamaara (Pamposh)(1953) Singer-Seeta Kalyanpur, Lyricist- Manohar Lal Khanna, MD- Mohan Lal Aima and Cecil Mendoza

Lyrics
mathura na jaao bhaai

koi na aaye kaam re ae
baba ke charnon mein dhoondho
milenge chaaron dhaam re ae ae
milenge chaaron dhaam re ae
na bhasmi ramaao aur na maala phiraao
mandir mandir mann ko at bhatkaao
jin ki ek jhalak se janam janam ke paap kat jaayen
aise baba ke gun gaao

sabhi devta jhilmil taare
baba to dhruv taara hai ae
baba to dhruv taara hai
in ki mohini moorat bhaai
sab ki jyot hai in mein samaai

मथुरा ना जाओ भाई
काशी ना जाओ
तीर्थ ना जाओ

जिनकी एक झलक से जनम जनम के पाप कट जाएँ
ऐसे बाबा के गुण गाओ
बाबा की धूनी रमाओ
ऐसे बाबा के गुण गाओ
बाबा की धूनी रमाओ
मथुरा ना जाओ भाई
काशी ना जाओ
तीर्थ ना जाओ

कोई ना आए काम रे
बाबा के चरणों में ढूंढो
मिलेंगे चारो धाम रे
मिलेंगे चारो धाम रे
ना भस्मी रमाओ और ना माल फिराओ
मंदिर मंदिर मन को मत भटकाओ
जिनकी एक झलक से जनम जनम के पाप कट जाएँ
ऐसे बाबा के गुण गाओ
बाबा की धूनी रमाओ
ऐसे बाबा के गुण गाओ
बाबा की धूनी रमाओ
मथुरा ना जाओ भाई

बालक रूप है कितना प्यारा
हर देवों से न्यारा है
सभी देवता झिलमिल तारे
बाबा तो ध्रुव तारा है
बाबा तो ध्रुव तारा है
इनकी मोहिनी मूरत भाई
सबकी ज्योत है इन में समाई
जिनकी एक झलक से जनम जनम के पाप कट जाएँ
ऐसे बाबा के गुण गाओ
बाबा की धूनी रमाओ
ऐसे बाबा के गुण गाओ
बाबा की धूनी रमाओ
मथुरा ना जाओ भाई

Today’s song is from the film Stage-1951.
The film was made by Jeevan Pictures, Bombay. The producer was G D Chandana and the film was directed by one Vijay Mhatre, who was basically a successful Cinematographer. He got an opportunity of directing a film but could not do much to make the film a Hit, despite having a popular lead pair of Dev Anand and Ramola (Khajanchi-41 fame). This was due to a very weakened run of the mill story of the film. He ended his directorial career with only this film and went back to his comfort zone of remaining a successful Cinematographer.
There were two Music Directors who composed 12 songs of the film. However, HFGK credits only 9 songs with MD’s name. The remaining 3 songs are left ‘ Ram Bharose’. Luckily there was only one Lyricist-Sarashar Sailani, so it is understood that all the songs were written by him only.
Sarashar Sailani was born on 12-3-1925 in Lahore. He was not much educated (not a graduate), but was a school teacher, used to participate in Mushairas. The owner of Jeevan Pictures,Lahore, was Motiram Jain and he was a lover of Shayari and poetry. Motiram liked his shayari. When Motiram started his First film Arsi-47, he invited Sailani to write story, song and dialogues for this film. Arsi-1947 was his first film as a Lyricist. Some songs became popular and Sailani jumped into the film line.
Lachhiram called him for his next film Mohini-47 and Shyamsunder called him for Ek Roz-47. Along with director Daud Chaand, Sailani also shifted to Bombay. However, after the Partition, Daud returned to Lahore but Sailani remained in India. He wrote lyrics. generally he got only low budget films, but he worked with some quality composers like Pt. Amarnath, Husnlal-Bhagatram, Roshan, Chitragupta, Jaidev, A R Qureshi, Hansraj Behl etc.
In all, he wrote 150 songs in 32 films. From 1960 onwards, after the film ‘ Bade ghar ki bahu’, he stopped songwriting and took up only story, dialogue writing, in which he did many good films. some of such films were Bewafa,Baaz,Barsat ki raat,Unpadh,Aayi milan ki bela,Aapki parchhaiyan,Ganga ki laharen, Majboor, Aaye din bahaar ke, Aman, Devar, Gunahon ka devta, kanyadaan,Aya saawan jhoom ke, Anjana etc.etc. His last film as a dialogue writer was Maa aur Mamta-70. He died on 10-4-1969 at Bombay.
One of the Music Directors was Sardar Malik for this film. Sardar Malik today is a lesser known composer compared to other giants of the film industry, but he has created some golden melodies. Born on 13-1- 1925, Sardar Malik had learnt classical music from Ustad Alauddin Khan. He also learned a variety of dancing skills from Pt.Uday Shankar. Some other stars like Guru Dutt and Mohan Sehgal too were part of the troop under Pt. Uday Shankar, same time.
Sardar Malik got his break as a Music Director in a movie called ‘Renuka’ which was released in 1947. Sardar Malik also sang 4 songs in this movie – 2 solo songs and also 2 duets with Zohrabai. But the movie was not a big success and he remained unrecognized. In the same year, he also composed music for a movie ‘Rain Basera’, but that movie too was not successful. In 1949, only one movie was released of Sardar Malik and that was ‘Raaz’. The movie had some wonderful numbers from Rafi, Amirbai and Binapani Mukherjee.
In 1951, Sardar Malik shared the credits with Husnlal Bhagatram and composed a few songs for a movie ‘Stage’, which had lovely numbers sung by Asha Bhosle like ‘Dil Machalne Laga’. Asha Bhosle had excellent control in her voice in the early 50s and her association with Sardar Malik was very special in this era when Lata and Geeta Dutt were at the top.
His next movie was ‘Laila Majnu’ which was a huge success. Sardar Malik composed only 3 songs for this movie ‘Baharon Ki Duniya Pukare’, ‘Tere Dar Pe Aaya Hoon’ and ‘Dekh Li Ae Ishq’. All the other songs were composed by Ghulam Mohammed but the songs showed his versatility and he gained recognition in the film industry. Thokar (1953) established Sardar Malik as a successful composer. Songs like ‘Ae Gham-e-Dil Kya Karoon’ by Talat and Asha Bhosle and ‘Hawa Ghungunayee Fiza Muskayee’ are evergreen numbers.
‘Aulad’ (1954) showed Sardar Malik’s overall class through his magical compositions. This movie had some great numbers like ‘Duniya Tasveer Ha’i (Talat Mahmood) and ‘Tum Salamat Raho Hazar Baras’ (Asha). The same year saw the release of ‘Chor Bazar’ (1954), which had some of the best songs rendered by Lata Mangeshkar. She sang 3 beautiful songs in this movie ‘Chalta Rahe Yeh Karvan’, ‘Huyi Yeh Humse Ye Nadani’ and ‘Dar Dar Ki Thokare Hain’. In the mid-50’s Sardar Malik composed music for a few movies like Ab-e-Hayat-55, Taxi-555-58, Chamak Chandni-57 and Maa Ke Aansoo-59. All these movies had some nice songs. If we observe the decade of the 50s, Asha Bhosle, Talat Mahmood and Rafi sang some of the best songs of Sardar Malik.
The decade of 60’s saw the release of ‘Saranga’ (1960), which can be considered as one of the best movies of Indian Cinema. The title song of the movie sung by Mukesh and the sad version of the same sung by Rafi is still as popular as it was 60 yrs ago. Many veteran music composers consider this movie as the best movie composed by Sardar Malik ever. The same year saw the release of ‘Mera Ghar Mere Bachche’ which contained some great songs sung by Mukesh, my favorite song being the duet of Mukesh with Suman Kalyanpur ‘Baharon Se Poochho’.
Sardar Malik remained active in the first half of the 1960s and composed some outstanding music for second rung movies like Madan Manjari, Bachpan, Pick Pocket, Naag Mohini, Jantar Mantar, Maharani Padmini, Roop Sundari and Main Hoon Jadugar. It was destiny that most of the films he composed for were not box-office successes, but he never compromised on the quality of his music. His career appears to come to an abrupt halt in the mid-60s. The last movie of Sardar Malik was Gynaaniji which was released in 1977. This movie had songs sung by Rafi, Asha, Jaspal Singh and Jagat Singh Jagga. After this he gave music to one film in which all his family was working- Nigahain-1983. He even wrote a few songs for this film.
Sardar Malik gave music to 25 films, composing 199 songs. He sang 8 songs in 2 films-Renuka-47 and Raaz-49.
Sardar Malik had huge knowledge on all forms of Indian Music. He always depended on light background orchestration in many of his songs. He made the use of accordion and flute in many of his songs. As he was classically trained, he had excellent knowledge on various ragas too. Married to noted lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri’s sister, Kausar Jahan (Bilqis), Sardar Malik had three sons – Annu, Abbu and Dabbu Malik. Thanks to his father’s blessings, Annu Malik met with a lot of success in the 1990s and 2000s.
Sardar Malik passed away on January 27th 2006, but the legacy he has left behind will always remain with us.
Today’s song is sung by Master Sonik and Lata mangeshkar. Hindi films had so far, to my knowledge,3 artistes who were blind and into film music. The first was K C Dey, a singer and a music director. The second was Manohal Lal Sonik- again a singer and a music director and the third one was Ravindra Jain who was a Lyricist, singer and a Music Director. Their natural deficiency did not come in the way of their music careers and the industry too gave them the recognition for their talents.
Master Sonik aka Manohar lal Sonik was born on 26-11-1926 in Sialkot, Punjab.By his third year, he lost his vision completely. Undaunted, he learnt music-first from the Music school of Lahore and then from Lucknow. For sometime, he was assistant to pt. Amarnath Batish.
After Partition he joined Delhi A.I.R. Later, he sang 8 songs in 7 Hindi films,namely Chaar Din-49, Stage-51,Kashmir-51, Khaibar-54, Mast Qalandar-55, Inquilab-56 and then after 20 years he sang in film Umar qaid-75 also. He gave music to film Ishwar Bhakti-51 along with Giridhar and then film Mamta-52, with Hansraj Behl.
Meanwhile, his nephew Omprakash Sonik, who was a singer in Delhi A.I.R., proposed working as a team of composers, calling themselves as ” SONIK-OMI “. They got their first film ” Dil ne phir yaad kiya”-66. The songs became popular. They continued to give music till Anadi Dada-93, when Master Sonik died on 9-7-1993. As a team, music was given to another 5 films by Omi alone till the film- Yeh hai basti Badmashon ki-1999. As a team, they gave music to 104 films composing 536 songs.
Today’s song is from the film Stage-51. There was a time between say, 1940 to 1970 when many film stories were woven around the Hero or Heroine being either a part of or an aspirant to be a part of a drama company or a musical group ( some examples are Albela, Hum sab chor hain, Teesri Manzil etc). This gave the producers ample scope and opportunities to include song and dance items in the film without any problem. Stage-51 was also one such movie having a murder mystery of a singer dancer. The film story was….
Prof.Rajan(Raj Mehra) is sad because his family life is spoiled due to the sharp and acidic tongue of his wife(Kuldeep Kaur).His daughter Sudha(Ramola) is with him on this issue.One day he discovers that his college love Kamini(Gulab) is in town as Neelam the stage dancer.He goes to meet her.Both share their grief but Rajan can not help her.In due course, Rajan’s wife learns about Neelam,there is a fight and Rajan is injured by accident.He goes to meet Neelam-who is murdered and police arrest Rajan with blood stained clothes.
Sudha, who is enjoying her boy friend Anand’s(Dev Anand) Birthday party, learns about it. She is determined to find out the real culprit. With help from Anand, his friend Chunnu(Sunder) and some clues, they reach Poona. Sudha joins as Dancer in the previous stage company of Neelam. They get the proof that the Owner of the theatre(Mubarak)is the culprit.
After some chase,suspense and a mock fight(it is funny to see Dev Anand fighting 7-8 gundas at a time),the murderer is caught by the police, Rajan released,Sudha-Anand married and Rajan’s wife reformed.
Let us now listen to the funny song which gives advice on how to be careful in Bombay.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Aazmaaish’ (1952). It was a ‘C’ grade action film made by Vinod Chitra. The producer HS Thorani was the director also. This was Thorani’s last film as a Director. Earlier to this film, he had directed 4 films, namely- ‘Stage Girl’ (1947), ‘Black Market’ (1947), ‘Taqdeerwale’ (1948) and ‘Achha ji’ (1950). During and after the World War II, such nondescript (meaning those who had no earlier Filmi background) producers and directors had cropped up. I strongly believe Thorani too was one of such people. The entry of black money into the film industry was due to such people only.
Funnily, all such novices made only C grade action and stunt films on priority. Why ? The reason was simple. In those days i.e. during the 1940s decade, a C grade stunt film was made in just about 75000 to 1 lakh Rupees, all inclusive. These films had a captive audience in almost every city and town in India, hence the films gave guaranteed returns of 100-150 % returns on Investment. Whereas the success rate of A grade Social films was not predictable and the investment was also four times more. So, no wonder, investors like Thorani preferred making stunt films only.
I was a great fan of stunt films and would not miss any stunt films running as a morning show (11 a.m.) at much reduced rates. In those days- I am talking about the early 50’s- the morning show rates were very low like 5 Annas, 8 Annas, 12 Annas and 1 Rupee for Balcony etc. All my pocket money and short term loans were spent on this. In the late 40s and early 50s I could see some films of the 30’s and 40’s shown in their second or third runs. By mid fifties, films of the 30’s became rare and then zero, but 40’s films were coming till late into the 50’s. I have seen fearless Nadia films, and films of Master Bhagwan, Prakash, Navinchandra, Kadam brothers, Billimoria brothers, Raja Sandow, John Cavas and many more.
In those days, it was not just me or people like me, but some of the film actors of those times too were great fans of stunt films. One great example was that of Kishore Kumar who was an ardent fan of Stunt Hero Shankar Rao Vazre and he used to coax Ashok kumar to do fighting like these actors, instead of singing songs with Devika Rani ! He himself has told this thing in his several interviews. Master Bhagwan was famous as a Producer, director and actor of C grade stunt films, till he made ‘Albela’ (1951) and entered the social film circle. Once Sanjeev Kumar introduced Bhagwan to his mother saying that he used to bunk school to see Bhagwan’s stunt films.
In one interview Master Bhagwan had said that “we had a fixed story and we used to make changes in the same story several ways in different films and used it. Our audience never bothered about the story or histrionics or songs. All they needed was a few dances and death defying stunts in the films. That we gave plenty in our films.”
Actor Shyam was Bhagwan’s good friend. Once Shyam said, ”I want to work in your films.” Bhagwan said,”First you see the shooting of our films and then we will talk.” It was decided that Shyam would visit Jagriti studios of Bhagwan to see the shooting of film ‘Laalach’ (1948).
Next day Shyam and his ‘close friend’ Munawwar Sultana came to see the shooting. A fight scene was being shot. Baburao Pehelwan was single handedly fighting with 3-4 gundas. During the shooting Baburao got a forceful hit from a fighter and he fell down from the first floor gallery on a glass table below. The table was in pieces. Seeing this, Shyam and Munawwar Sultana shouted in horror. Thinking that Baburao would die from this fall, they hurriedly ran away from the studio.
Luckily, Baburao was safe with some scratches. He tied a hankie and started the fighting again. When Shyam returned, he was astonished to see Baburao doing the shoot. Bhagwan asked Shyam, “so Shyam, do you still want to work in my films ?” Shyam shuddered and said, “No Baba, who wants to die doing stunts ?” Ironically Shyam did die after doing a horse riding stunt for the film ‘Shabistan’ (1951) ! (Actually, Shyam was a trained horse rider. The famous trainer Jimmy Bharucha had trained him in Poona).
Now something about the singer Ragi. We are accustomed to seeing only the usual regular well known names, but when some new or unknown name appears, our brows are raised and we wonder who this singer is. Same thoughts came to my mind when I first came across his name a few years back. One would immediately think of the singers in a Gurudwara, who are also called Raagis. I tried and tried very hard, but except that he hailed from Andhra Pradesh, I could not get any other information on him. Then one fine morning KS Raagi’s daughter- Vijaya Hazari from Pune- appeared on RMIM forum and gave some more information. Though even this was very meager, still at least something was there.
Kewal Singh Ragi was born and brought up in Hanamkonda, Warangal in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh (now it comes in Telangana), about 100 kms from Hyderabad. From childhood he was interested in singing. When he was in his teens, he ran away to Bombay (where else ? In olden days those who ran away used to land in Bombay almost always. Where do people run away to, nowadays ?). He got an entry into All India Radio and started singing there. He was in Bombay for 12 years. He not only got a chance to sing in films, but he composed music too as well as acted in some films,like ‘Daagh’ (1952) and ‘Patita’ (1953) etc.
He sang in films from 1940 to 1952 and sang songs with Geeta Roy, Shamshad Begum, Uma Devi, Kishori (supposedly, his own sister), Zebunnisa, Khursheed, Roshan Ara Begum, Razia Begum etc. These were all songs from B and C grade films. Some of the films he sang in were, ‘Do Bhai’ (1947), ‘Namumkin’ (1946), ‘Hamari Kismet’ (1949), ‘Siskiyaan’ (1950s), ‘Bulbul’ (1951), ‘Humraz’ (1940), ‘Aazmaaish’ (1952) etc. He gave music to ‘Bulbul’ (1951) and ‘Siskiyaan’ (1950s) (unreleased).
At this time, he had a heart problem and after leaving everything, he left for Hanamkonda, where he lived till 1974, when he breathed his last there.
The story of the film ‘Azmaish’ (1952) was nothing special –
Chhaya was engaged to Manoj. But he fell in love with Bela – the gypsy girl. Markus – son of the gypsy leader also loved Bela and his assistant Keron had bad designs on Bela. Disgusted with all this, Bela induces Manoj to run away with her to the city and they leave one night. Meanwhile Chhaya and her friend Bijli come to know that they are in city and they too go to the city to search them.
Keron is furious. He tries to rape Bela but Bela commits suicide. Markus kills Keron and in a fight with Manoj, Markus gets killed by falling from a hill. Manoj now realizes his mistake. He accidentally meets Chhaya and Bijli. They embrace each other and the story ends with their marriage.
Here is a duet of Shanti Sharma and KS Ragi. Shanti Sharma had sung 15 songs in 6 Hindi films – ‘Raees’ (1948), ‘Veer Ghatotkach’ (1949), ‘Kinara’ (1949), ‘Aazmaaish’ (1952) and ‘Maalik’ (1954).

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 99
———————————————————————————–
This day ten years ago (viz 15 December 2010) was a wednesday, viz middle of the week. I was based at Nagpur. After initial struggle early in the year for settling down, I began to post songs at an average of 5 songs a day from
July 2010 onwards. Then there was a temporary slowdown in November 2010. I picked up pace again in december 2010. I notice that I had covered as many as seven songs on 15 december 2010. This was one of the seven occasions in the month when I posted as many as seven articles in a day. The first post appeared at 7:13 AM and the seventh at 9:27 AM. That is the kind of productivity I was capable of ten years ago. ! 🙂
Here is the list of the songs covered that day:-
| Blog post number | Song | Movie | Year | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3346 | Balam mohe chhedo naa | Daasi | 1944 | 6 songs covered out of 11 |

| 3352 | Jalti huyi jawaaniyaan | Bambai Raat Ki Baahon Mein | 1967 | One song out of 5 covered |
One can notice that five out of 7 movies whose songs were covered ten years ago have since been YIPPEED.
