For the last eight months or so, I have been scouting for some rare songs which are yet to be posted on the Blog. My first preference was to get those rare songs which have not yet made their presence in YT. During my search, I concentrated mainly of the songs of 1940s and about 50 of such songs have already made their appearances in the Blog. There are some more in my kitty of the 1940s segment, a few of which have already been uploaded on YT. But I thought I would take some pause for the 1940s and divert my attention to the rare songs of the 1950s.
For the 1950s songs, my initial experience showed that in respect of well-known playback singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar, Suraiya, Geeta Dutt, Asha Bhonsle, Suman Kalyanpur etc, there was no need for me to find their rare songs. Almost all of their songs for which mp3 clips are available on the internet, have already been uploaded on YT. I believe that all these playback singers have their fans in YT who would ensure that almost all the songs of their idols get posted on YT. That leaves me room to search for rare songs of only the second string and other lesser known playback singers for the 1950s segment. And I like to explore songs of such category of playback singers.
I have made a beginning by getting mp3 clip of a rare song ‘chhuri bagal mein muhn mein Raam’ from the film GHUNGHROO (1952) which has not yet found place in YT. I am presenting here the same song. GHUNGHROO (1952) had 10 songs of which only one song has so far been covered in the Blog. All the songs have been penned by Rajinder Krishan and are set to music by C Ramchandra.
From a couple of photographs of the scenes from the film that I have seen, it appears that Om Prakash was the lead actor and he had double roles. Naturally, he would have two lead actresses – Sumitra Devi and Kuldeep Kaur. These are just my guesses.
This is a duet song of ‘sawaal jawaab’, probably picturised as a stage show on Om Prakash and Kuldeep Kaur if I go by a photograph of a scene from the film. The dholak beats of C Ramchandra’s style makes this song enjoyable to listen.
Song-Chhuri bagal mein munh mein Raam (Ghunghroo)(1952) Singers-C Ramchandra, Shamshad Begum, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra
Lyrics
ik bewafa se pyaar kiyaa aa
dil ne bhool se ae ae ae
khushboo ki aas ki bhi
to kaaghaz ke phool se ae
chhuri bagal mein
munh mein Ram
aisi mohobaat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
chhuri bagal mein
munh mein Ram
aisi mohobaat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
mujh par balma na karo shaque
dekho mera dil kare dhak dhak dhak dhak
mujh par balma na karo shaque
dekho mera dil kare dhak dhak dhak dhak
naari ke roop mein kaali naagan
jahareeli aankhiyon se na tak
le na jabaan se pyaar ka naam
aisi mohabbat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
chhuri bagal mein
munh mein Ram
aisi mohobaat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
meri nazar se ho ke door
karo na marne par majboor
meri nazar se ho ke door
karo na marne par majboor
aisi chikni chupdi baatein
kisi aur se karo huzoor
ab na chalegaa mujh par daanv
aisi mohabbat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
chhuri bagal mein muhn mein Ram
aisi mohobaat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
maana mujhse huyi khata
tumse jhootha pyaar kiya
pyaar mein dhokha dene waali
teri khata ki hai yehi sazaa
hogi gali gali tu badnaam
aisi mohabbat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
chhuri bagal mein
munh mein Ram
aisi mohobaat ko mera salaam
mera salaam
