Though tens of thousands of songs have been uploaded on YT and other hosts, there are still lots and lots of great songs that are yet to be uploaded. I call them forgotten gems, because people are not even aware of their existence.
Here is one such forgotten gem. This song is from “Chakradhaari” (1954). As the name suggests, it was a religious/mythological B grade movie made with a shoe string budget and with small time actors. Such movies and their songs tend to get lost into oblivion, and this movie is no exception. But the songs of this movie are wonderful songs. I have already discussed three songs from this movie. Here is the fourth song.
This song is rare and it is quite a song. The song is sung by Rafi, Asha Bhonsle and Pradeep. Pradeep is also the lyricist of this song. Music is composed by Avinash Vyas.
This has to be one of the rare non solo songs where one can find Pradeep singing. One is normally used to Pradeep singing solo songs.
It is a superb song and I am sure readers will enjoy listening to this rare gem from “Chakradhaari” (1954)
PS-Later I found out (thanks to nahm) that the video of this song is available on YT. Now I have included that video link too.

Atul ji,
Your observation that usually Kavi Pradeep sang solo songs,is right.However,like the above exception,there is one more song where pradeep had another singer.
Film- Kangan(1939) song ” Main to arati utarun….” singers Pradeep and Leela Chitnis.
In the same movie,there were 2 more songs(Kabir bhajans) in which Pradeep sang with a chorus.

Krishna ji,
There were 4 personalities in Hindi films,at a time,with surname VYAS.
Out of this Shankar rao Vyas and Narayanrao Vyas were brothers from Kolhapur.The elder one Shankar rao was Music Director for over 50 Hindi/Marathi films.The younger Narayan rao was a renowned classical singer of repute.
The others were Bharat Vyas,essentially a Lyricist (but also a singer,Story writer and Dialogue and screenplay writer as well) and Avinash Vyas,essentially a Music Director with more than 100 Hindi/Gujrathi films to his credit.
There was no relation between them,apparently.Bharat was from Rajasthan,Avinash Vyas was from Gujrat.

You were not able to find this on youtube? There is audio as well as video available. There are more bhajans from the same movie , videos are there for solos of Asha, Shamshad & Rafi. Here is a link to the video of ” Wah re dayaalu” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ONx8z23XLI&feature=related
Yes, a ‘superb’ rare gem !!
(The songs starts in Rafi’s voice (lip synced by Shahu Modak and Trilok Kapoor both, then the antaras is in Pradeep ji’s voice lip synced also by Shahu Modak)

Thanks for this information. It is my fond wish to be able to discuss all songs sung by Pradeep. I do not think there may be too many of these songs.
