Chhodo morey raaja kalaiyya hamaar ho
Posted on: April 22, 2012
“Talwaar Ka Dhani” (1956) is as obscure a movie as any. This movie was a Vikas Production presentation. It was directed by Dwarka Khosla. The movie had Nadira, Manhar Desai, B. M. Vyas, Anwar, Maruti, Pakku etc in it.
Little is known about the movie or its music. Recently I came across a song from this movie and I found it a wonderful song to listen to. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Only the audio of this song is avialable but from the sounds of it, the song appears to be a mujra song.
If the YT entry is to be believed then the lyrics of this song were written by Dwarka Khosla, the producer of the movie. Music was composed by Chitragupta.
PS-Anjum Jaipuri is the lyricist of this song as informed by Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh.
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie. Even though I have heard this song for the first time only just now, I feel that this song is a forgotten gem and the song deserved to be much better known among music lovers.
Song-Chhodo morey raja kalaiyya hamaar ho(Talwar Ka Dhani)(1956) Singer-Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Anjum Jaipuri, MD-Chitragupta

Atul ji,
TALWAR KA DHANI-1956 was a costume drama and also a stunt film.When I first went to see this film in its second run in 1960 or so,I thought that this must be based on the story of “King Arthur and his sword”,but I was mistaken.Probably the producers had not even heard who this Arthur was,and they based their story on Gujarat background.
Appropriately,the hero was also Manhar Desai(real name Malcom Alfredo Desai,a Goanese,from 3-8-17 to25-2-92),who was a Popular Hero in Gujarati films those days.
The Vikas prodn.film was directed by Dwaraka Khosla-a veteran of 40 films in 30 years from 1932(Veer kunal) to 1962(Reporter Raju).He did not write any lyrics for any film in his entire career.The Lyricists in this film were Anjum Jaipuri(for above song) and G.S.Nepali.The story,s/play and dialogues were by Masood.
The title was very misleading,but many films with Talwar were produced,like Talwar ka paani,Bedhari Talwar,Chauhani T,Bhawani T,Nangi T,Tati T,Tilasmi T and also a Talwarwala !
Queen mother Sudha(Sulochana) sent her infant prince(Pakku) to a secret place thru her Loyal sardar(B.M.Vyas) to avoid torture by the rebell Villain Megha(Anwar).Megha’s army chases them but they escape safely.Megha starts killing all the loyalists and Queen sends S.O.S. to her loyal Thakurs.From them come Vijay(Manhar),Rani(Nadira) and Gopu(Maruti).They enter the Palace in disguise of Dancers and meet the Queen.They hatch a plan to kidnap the Princess and reach her to hideout of Prince.This plan is passed on to Megha by Indira(Shammi) the loyal maid.Megha allows the plan and then captures Prince,Princess and these 3 fighters.But a helpful Saroj(Kammo),maid helps them to freedom.
These 3 fighters collect an army of Thakurs and attack Megha.There is a fighting in which Megha is burnt alive,instead of the Prince.
The Queen makes Vijay her Vazir and marries him with Rani.
