Jagmohan Sursagar was known mostly for his non-filmy songs whether in Bengali or Hindi. After the success of his songs in ‘Meghdoot’ (1945), he collaborated with Faiyyaz Hashmi and Kamal Das Gupta for recording many non-filmy Hindi songs which became very popular. Faiyyaz Hashmi was a full time employee of EMI (HMV) at Calcutta. After bifurcation of British India, Faiyyaz Hashmi was transferred to Dhaka in 1947 and to Lahore a year thereafter to strengthen the office which was affected by the migration of many of its artists to India. With this, the collaboration of these trios virtually came to an end. Thereafter, Jagmohan Sursagar recorded some more Hindi non-film songs with different lyricists such as B C Madhur, Madhuraj, Rajinder Krishan etc. But most of these songs are silent on the name of the composer. It is believed that during this period, Jagmohan himself may have composed the music for most of his non-filmy songs.

In the 30s and 40s, legendary singers like K C Dey, K L Saigal and Pankaj Mullick with their Hindi film and non-film songs mesmerized not only the people of Bengal but the whole of India. In fact,it was the K L Saigal-Pankaj Mullick duo who ruled the music scene in Calcutta (Kolkatta) in the 1940s. It was during this time that a new singer emerged in Calcutta who, with his solo song ‘o varsha ke pehle baadal meraa sandesaa le jaana’ in the film MEGHDOOT (1945) impressed the listeners very much. This song became the most popular song of the film. The singer was none other than Jagmohan Sursagar, born as Jaganmoy Mitra. The popularity of this song resulted in a collaboration of Jagmohan-Faiyyaz Hashmi-Kamal Das Gupta trio in bringing out some of the finest non-film Hindi songs which became even more popular than their filmy songs.
