Chandrabati Devi played Chandramukhi in Bengali version. In Hindi version, role of Chandramukhi was played by Rajkumari. The question is which Rajkumari.

It is Rajkumari Calcuttewali positively. She did films only in calcutta and she was in this Devdas,doing Chandramukhi’s role.In Listener’s Bulletin 72,in an interview (Feb 1988),Rajkumari Banareswali has clarified that the Rajkumari working in NT films was Pullobai,also known as Rajkumari Calcuttewali.

Thanks for this information. Wikipedia is spreading the disinformation that T R Rajkumari of south played this role in this movie.

To my knowledge,except for Chandralekha-1948, T R Raajkumari of south hardly ever worked in Hindi films.

Atul ji,
I think the suitable words to fill in the blanks appearing in your lyrics seem to be thus:
Baithhe Soche ‘Brijdham’,
Neeko Lage Nahin ‘Kaam’.
Thanks & regards,
Avadh Lal

The voice in the song does not sound like that of Rajkumari Dubey. Probably, the actor and singer is Rajkumari Calcuttewali. This needs to be confirmed.
