“Chaand” (1944) was a Prabhat Films Production. Details of this movie have been provided by Mr Sadanand Kamath while discussing a song from this movie in the past. Here is what he had to say about this movie:
CHAAND (1944) was produced under the banner of Prabhat Film Company and directed by D D Kashyap. The star cast included Prem Adeeb and Begum Para in the lead roles with Sitara Devi (Menaka), Sapru, Master Balakram, Ram Singh, Vatsala etc in the supporting roles. The film is a love triangle between Prem Adib, Begum Para and Sitara Devi. The first half of the film has some streak of light comedy but the second half is melodramatic with a happy ending.
Murarilal (Prem Adib) is a singer and musician in Sitara Devi’s (Menaka) theater company in Lahore. Ghungaroo (Master Balakram) is his assistance. Murarilal along with Ghoungroo leave Menaka’s theater company to join as a music director in a Bombay theater company. Menaka who loves Murarilal, tries to persuade him to remain with her theater but the lure of Bombay is far greater than Menaka’s one-sided love for him. By the time he reaches Bombay, the theater has already employed some other person as he was late by couple of days. After struggling in the streets of Bombay, he decides to start a music school for which he manages to get the paying guest accommodation in Seth Jwalaprasad’s (Sapru) house by posing as a well to do man.After some initial hiccups with Rajkumari (Begum Para), the only daughter of Seth Jwalaprasad, Murarilal and Rajkumari starts liking each other. When things were going smooth between them, Menaka comes to Bombay and meets Murarilal in his rented house, once again asking him to join her theatre group mainly to pursue her love for him which he declines. Misunderstanding creeps in the mind of Rajkumari when she sees Murarilal and Menaka together and expels him from her house without listening to his side of the story. After being back in the streets for a few days, Murarilal and Ghungaroo manage to join Seth Jwalaprasad’s company as clerk and a peon respectively mainly to be near Rajkumari so that one day, he could explain his side of the story to her which he eventually does.
Murarilal with his hard work impresses Seth Jwalaprasad who promotes him as Manager. With this promotion, Murarilal and Rajkumari think that deck would be cleared for their marriage. However, unaware of this relationship, Seth Jwalaprasad plans his daughter’s marriage with the son of a businessman. When Rajkumari reveals her desire to get married to Murarilal, her father is furious. He creates another misunderstanding in Murarilal about Rajkumari by telling him that she is no longer interested in him. A dejected Murarilal plans to leave Bombay. Again, Menaka takes the entry at the right time and persuades him to join her theater group which is scheduled to perform at Calcutta.
When Rajkumari comes to know that Murarilal has left for Calcutta, she joins a volunteer group in Calcutta without the knowledge of her father to serve as a nurse for patients of malnutrition due to Bengal famine.She meets Menaka and tell her side of the story. Maneka becomes a good Samaritan and assures Rajkumari of all her help in bringing back Murarilal to her. Murarilal gets caught in the Japanese air bombing injuring his eyes. He is brought to the hospital where a nurse tends him after his successful eye operation. When his eye bandage is opened, it is like ‘jab aankh khule unki tasweer-e-nazar aaye’ for Murarilal as the nurse is none other than his beloved Rajkumari.
In the meanwhile, Seth Jawalaprasad’s company make huge losses and he is about to be declared as insolvent. With the twin tragedy of business losses and rejection of his daughter’s marriage proposal with a businessman’s son, he realises his folly. Now all his attention is to trace her daughter and Murarilal and keep her happy by agreeing to her marriage with Murarilal. It is once again Menaka who helps in reuniting him with his daughter and Murarilal thus making a happy ending.
For Begum Para, it was her debut film. Her expressionless dialogue-delivery was pathetic. The performances of other main actors were good. But, it is 11 years old Master Balakram whose performance impressed me the most with his natural acting.
This movie had eleven songs in it. Ten songs from this movie have been discussed in the past. The tenth song from the movie was discussed yesterday (26 january 2014) on the occasion of Indian Republic day. It was then that I realised that this movie was on the verge of joining the list of movies with all their songs covered in the blog. So I decided that I would discuss the eleventh and final song the next day (27 january 2014).
Easier said than done ! On the morning of 27 january 2014, I first checked up to see if I had received the lyrics of this song from any of our contributors. I drew a blank. Then I searched YT for this song. I drew a blank again. So I realised that this was a case of last mile connectivity that one faces in all walks of life where one gets stuck up at the last stage of some activity. I searched far and wide and finally managed to find the audio of this song. In the meanwhile I also discovered the video of the movie. As discussed by Mr Sadanand Kamath, the movie was light hearted in the first half and serious in the second half. This was a serious song and I discovered this song in the second half of the video. But this video only had part of the full audio that I had managed to locate.
That done, the next stage was to ensure the availability of this song on YT. All this took up so much time that I was unable to discuss any songs on the morning of 27 january 2014.
Here is this eleventh and final song from “Chaand” (1944). This song is sung by G M Durrani and it is picturised on Prem Adib as a melancholic stage song. Lyrics by Qamar Jalalabadi are superb and it is the lyrics of the song that are the real star of this song. Music is composed by Husnlal Bhagatram. It is a very long song, nearly six minutes long, which means that the audio of this song must have been released on two sides of a record. The video of this movie that I watched only had the later half of the song though.
This song, which was not available on YT till now, must be among his more wonderful songs sung by G M Durrani in his singing career.
With this song, “Chaand” (1944) finally joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog. This is the fourth oldest movie in the blog to achieve this status after three movies of 1943, namely “Hamaari Baat”, “Waapas” and “Tansen”.

Lyrics
Ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
aabaad nahin hota
aabaad nahin hota
barbaad to hone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
aansoo nahin aankhon mein
aansoo nahin aankhon mein
ye gham ka khazaana hai
aansoo nahin aankhon mein
ye gham ka khazaana hai
kuchh haar piroye hain
kuchh haar piroye hain
kuchh haar pirone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ik aankh mein yaadon ki
ik aankh mein yaad unki
ik aankh mein dard unka
ik aankh mein yaad unki
ik aankh mein dard unka
ik aankh ko hansne de
ik aankh ko hansne de
ik aankh ko rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
har roz ka tadpaana
har roz ka tadpaana
achcha nahin ae kismat
har roz ka tadpaana
achcha nahin ae kismat
yaa le ja kinaare par
yaa le ja kinaare par
yaa naao dubone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
samjhe thhe jise apna
samjhe thhe jise apna
nikla hai wo begaana
samjhe thhe jise apna
nikla hai wo begaana
tu yaad na kar usko
tu yaad na kar usko
ab ae dil e deewaana
tu yaad na kar usko
ab ae dil e deewaana
roti huyi aankhon ne
do baat hi dekhi hai
roti huyi aankhon ne
do baat hi dekhi hai
ik unse nazar milna
ik unse nazar milna
ik unse bichchad jaana
ik unse nazar milna
ik unse bichchad jaana
khaane ke liye thhokar
peene ke liye aansoo
khaane ke liye thhokar
peene ke liye aansoo
taqdeer mein likkha hai
taqdeer mein likkha hai
ban ban ke bigad jaana
taqdeer mein likkha hai
ban ban ke bigad jaana
taqdeer ki marzi hai
taqdeer ki marzi hai
soti hai to sone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de
ae dil mujhe rone de

I am really grateful to you for adding this last very long song a little short of 6 minutes, sung beautifully by Mr. Durrani, I remember seeing this movie when I was very young in early fifties & remember going to the cinema Hall with my elders then….had been trying & tracing this song since then but did not find any where till you had been really very gracious to add this one….God Bless you.
