Kabootar aajaa aajaa re
Posted on: December 8, 2009
“Manglaa” (1950) was the second Hindi movie made by Gemini pictures, who till then were mainly producers of South Indian language movies. Like in their earlier effort, this movie too was made in Tamil and then dubbed into Hindi. The songs however were re recorded using singers and lyricists of Hindi movies.
Here is a song sung by Geeta Dutt and picturised nicely on P Bhanumati. Pt Indra was the lyricist. This movie had as many as three music directors. M D Parthsarthy, E Shankar Shastry and B S Kalla were the three music directors. This song was composed by E Sankar Sastry.

Gemini pictures introduced a different flavour to the kind of movies Hindi movie watchers were used to. And movie watchers liked these movies.
I call South Indian movies as “Chandamama” movies. “Chandamama” was a popular children’s magazine published in several Indian languages and the story in the magazine were similar to the stories of these South Indian movies. In fact, the owners of “Chandamama” were into producing movies too.

Delightful old song and one that I had never heard before. Also liked your writeup –the picturization does have a south Indian feel to it.
