“Paataal Bhairavi”(1952) was a Vijay Productions movie. It was directed by K V Reddy. The movie had N T Ram Rao, Malti, Relangi Girija, T. G. Kamla, Surabhi Kamla, Balkrishna, S. B. Ganga Rao etc in it.
Here is what Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia has to say about this movie:
PATAAL BHAIRAVI-52 was directed by K. Venkat Reddy and the music was by Ghantasala (Assisted by A Krishnamurthy). Lyrics were by Pt. Indra. There were 9 songs , sung by Talat Mehmood, G M Durrani, Geeta Roy, Kamala Devi and Jikki (P G Krishnaveni).
The story of Pataal Bhairavi is a Fantasy, full of drama, dances, Magic, Sword Fights, Heavy costumes, palaces and accompanied bymany Trick scenes.
Ramu (N T Rama Rao) is the son of an ordinary gardener, who falls in love with Princess Indumati (Malati) of Ujjain Kingdom. While the Rajmata has no objection, the king does not approve a commoner. So, Ramu decides to become rich and meets a mantrik (S V Ranga Rao) who promises to make him rich in quick-time. Actually, the Mantrik wants to sacrifice Ramu to the Goddess ( Girija) to propitiate her and get rich himself.
Ramu comes to know of mantrik’s plan and plays the game in such a way that instead of Ramu, the Mantrik is sacrificed to the Goddess, who appears before Ramu and makes him rich and powerful. Meanwhile, the king is attacked by a big enemy, but Ramu helps the king and defeats the enemy and saves the kingdom. The king is now in his favour and Ramu not only gets married to Indumati but also is declared the heir Apparent to the king’s throne.
There are many trick scenes and sword fights in the film, worth seeing. It is said that actor RANJAN helped the producers in shooting the sword fight scenes.
( The story was once again remade in 1985, with Jeetendra as Ramu, Jayaprada as Indumati and Kader Khan as the Mantrik. Shoma Anand played the Goddess Patal Bhairavi.)
One song from this movie has been discussed in the past. Here is the second song from the movie. It is sung by Geeta Dutt. Pt Indra Chandra is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ghantasala.
Only the audio of this song is available and so it is difficult to say how and on whom this song is picturised. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Nitin Shah.

Lyrics(Provided by Nitin Shah)
tann mann mera tarse
kyun tarse
tann mann mera tarse
kyun tarse
kisne preet geet sunaaye
sapne aaj sundar aaye
tann mann mera tarse
kyun tarse
doley pyaar ras sagar mein
baaje taar beena ke
doley pyaar ras sagar mein
baaje taar beena ke
armaanon ne kyun kaanon se (?) chhup chhup nain milaaye
tann mann mera tarse
kyun tarse
chanda sang rajni sajni
ghoonghat khol khel rahe
chanda sang rajni sajni
ghoonghat khol khel rahe
taare saare khil khil pyaare
rang jamaane aaye ae
tann mann mera tarse
kyun tarse
kisne preet geet sunaaye
sapne aaj sundar aaye
tann mann mera tarse
kyun tarse
tann mann mera tarse
kyun tarse

I have heard the Tamil version sung by P. G. Krishnaveni (Gikki).
Who are the three gentlemen sitting behind Geetaji? Could the mandolin player be Sajjad Saab?
