Peevesie’s Mom ji,
Yes,he is the same actor who did the role of Shashank in Chandralekha-1948.
Born as Ramnarayana Venkatramana Sarma,he was named as Ranjan in 1942.
His career started with Tamil film Ashok kumar(1941).
He acted in 28 Hindi movies,some of them are Shin shinaki bubla boo(1952),Ishq Ishq Ishq-1975,Jaan Hazir hai-1975,Ram Balram(as Thekedar)-1980,his last film .
As far as I know,the actor who died while doing a scene on Horseback was SHYAM KUMAR(film-Shabistan).
Ranjan was born in 1918 and died in 1983,of illness.

OK Deshmukhji. thank you for the information.
whenever you give information i feel i am talking to my dad. he is also a treasure trove as far as movies of that era is concerned. and he has been watching movies since 1950 i think since he was 12; before that he has seen whatever my grandfather showed him. even my grandfather had a collection of K.L.Saigal records which he has passed on to us but unfortunately we r unable to play it as our record player pin is spoilt.

Arun sir,
My guess is that you must be atleast 75 years of age(E.&O.E.),otherwise how can you have so much of knowledge about old films?
Ofcourse knowledge is not bound to age.

Atul’s Song A Day- A choice collection of Hindi Film & Non-Film Songs

Atul ji,
The above song is picturised on RANJAN,the hero of the film.
HAQDAAR(1964) was produced by R.S.Mistry under the banner of Sri Ganesh Chitra and was directed by P.S.Wagle.Lyrics were provided by 3 little known people,Prem Varbartani,S.T.Hussaini(also wrote the story) and Raj Vyas.
Raja Vikram of Anand Nagar,had a stillborn son after 20 years.Unknown to the king,loyal Vazir Mangal singh replaces this child with one of the twins born to Asha,a poor woman.
Prince Ranjit singh (Ranjan) grows up,so also his twin Ajit-an expert Archer.Once Ajit saves the Prince’s fiancee Madhumati(Nasreen) from the attack of outlaw Maansingh.Madhumati,princess of Anjangarh,thinks that the prince was the rescuer.After a long and eventful screenplay,at the end Asha(mother of twins) appears and the loyal Vazir spills the beans and everything is fine !
RANJAN was a popular star of B and C grade movies in 50s and 60s.He was expert in sword fighting-in reality too-and featured in such type of movies.
Master Bhagwan did the role of Bahadur,Ajit’s friend who loves Chakori(Ratnamala),the Princess’s maid.
