“Baadshah”(1954) was directed by Amiya Charkaborty for Mars and Movies, Bombay. The movie had Ulhas, Usha Kiran, K N Singh, Agha, Pradeep Kumar, Mala Sinha, Hari shivdasani, Achla Sachdev, Praveen, Raja salim, G B Singh, Vinay Sukaale, Laxminivas Tiwari, Janardan, Shantaram etc in it.
Here is the story of the movie as recounted by Mr K Satish Shenoy who had watched this movie as a school kid during its first release.
It was based on French Author Victor Hugo’s fiction ‘Hunch Back of Notre- Dame’ (there is a Hollywood movie of same title as the book)
Briefly,( as I remember) it is about an ugly hunchback who develops a crush on a young lady. Knowing his poor prospects in winning the affection of the lady, he satisfies himself in secretly watching her in admiration. He slowly assumes the role of her protector (unlike Sharukh’s harmful obsession with kkkk Kiran in ‘Darr’),. All this, while the lady is unaware of anything. The lady finds a lover. But she is separately lusted by a villain who happens to be the master (feudal employer) of Hunchback. Hunchback helps, by staying in the background to unite the lovers, and in the bargain takes on his master and kills him. Ulhas played the hunchback, named Badshah, and K N Singh played the villain( both,very effectively), ably supported by Usha Kiran as the tormented belle.
The movie had eight songs in it. As many as seven songs have already been discussed in the past.
Here is the eighth and final song from “Baadshah”(1954) to be covered in the blog. This song is sung by Lata. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by Shankar Jaikishan.
With this song, “Baadshah”(1954) joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog.

Lyrics
jab pal bhar
jab pal bhar chain na paaoon re balam
to kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
ho piya
kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
jab pal bhar chain na paaoon re balam
to kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
ho piya
kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
man hi man mein
jalte rehte thhe ham
guzaarte thhe din
ro ro ke teri kasam
man hi man mein
jalte rehte thhe ham
guzaarte thhe din
ro ro ke teri kasam
teri kasam
kyun na birha
kyun na birha aag bujhaaun re balam
sun sun ke main meethhi meethhi batiyaan
o piya
sun ke main meethhi meethhi batiyaan
jab pal bhar chain na paaoon re balam
to kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
ho piya
kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
laage na tujhe bahaaron ki nazar
in aankhon mein rehna
dil ban ke dard e jigar
laage na tujhe bahaaron ki nazar
in aankhon mein rehna
dil ban ke dard e jigar
dard e jigar
kyun na kajra
kyun na kajra se nain rachaaun re balam
jab laagi hain tum sang ankhiyaan
o piya
laagi hain tum sang ankhiyaan
jab pal bhar chain na paaoon re balam
to kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
o piya
kaise bitaaun din ratiyaan
