Today 23rd January (2023) is the 126th birth anniversary of one of the greatest ‘sons of this soil’, a great visionary, courageous and brave leader Subhash Chandra Bose.
He was born on 23rd January’1897.
This grateful nation pays tributes to him on his birth anniversary today.
This blog in turn pays tributes to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose by bringing here songs from such movies which are based on the life of Subhash Chandra Bose.
I had in one of my earlier posts here noted such movies which have been represented on the blog. Two movies more have been added to this list later and I am now presenting below the updated list of such movies on the blog.
Here is the list of movies made on the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose that have been represented on the blog till now.
| SNo | Movie | Year of the movie |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Pehla Aadmi | 1950 |
| 02 | Netaji Subhashchandra Bose | 1966 |
| 03 | Subhash Chandra | 1978 |
| 04 | Subhash Chandra (Bangla) | 1978 |
| 05 | Bose- The forgotten hero | 2004 |
| 06 | Gumnaami (Bangla) | 2019 |
Other films inspired by Subhash Bose and INA are,
1. ’Samadhi’ (1950) was inspired from Indian National Army and it had couple of patriotic songs too).
2. ‘Ami Subhash Bolchi’ (2011) (Bangla) – a film about a social movement in Bengal inspired by the vision of Subhash Bose (something akin to ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’ (2006)).
3. ‘Raag Desh’ (2017) – a film about the famous Red Fort trials in which the leading soldiers of INA, Colonel Prem Sahgal, Colonel Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, and Major General Shah Nawaz Khan, were tried by the British Govt. for sedition and waging war against the British Empire. They were sentenced to deportation for life, but the public outcry in favour of these soldiers was so great that the British were forced to release all the defendants. The protest slogan of ‘Sehgal-Dhillon-Shah Nawaz’ became very popular amongst the masses.
Today I am presenting a song from the ‘1978’ movie ‘Subhaash Chandra’.
‘Subhash Chandra-1978’ was directed by Piyush Bose.
It was an ‘A.K.B. Films, Calcutta’ presentation and passed by Censor Board on 06.02.1978.
It had Ashish Ghosh, Amar Dutt, Samar Kumar, Ajit Prakash, N. Vishwanathan, Lamsden, Bown, Smith, Reba Devi, and Rama Das.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 06.02.1978.
This movie has six songs written by Kaifi Azmi and Saraswati Kumar ‘Deepak’.
Bansari Lahiri, Mukesh, Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, Hemant Kumar, and Usha Mangeshkar had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Music of this film was composed by Aparesh Lahiri.
Here is the list of songs in this movi. (HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980) does not mention the name of the lyricist for individual songs except for one song.
| SNo | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer/s | Posted On |

Today I present a song from this movie ‘Subhaash Chandra-1978’ which is sung by Hemant Kumar and composed by Aparesh Lahiri. It is the fourth songs from this movie to be posted on the blog.
I guess that in the movie this songs happens showing the journey of Subhash Chandra Bose when he escaped from Calcutta to Afghanistan and travels further to Russia and Germany.
I have not been able to note correct words at few places. I would request knowledgeable readers to kindly provide the correct words.
Let us listen to this poignant song sung by Hemant Kumar. Only the audio of this song is available.

Dear Avinash ji,
Not many would know that Netaji had pre-empted the selection of JANA GANA MANA as the National Anthem of India, long before the Constituent Assembly put its official stamp of Approval.
In 1942, during an Official visit to Germany, Netaji had selected this Song as the Anthem of India during the founding of the German-Indian Society and it was played by the Hamburg Radio Symphony Orchestra at the Meeting held in Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg on 11th September 1942.
It just so happened that during the UN General Assembly in New York in October 1947, one of the Members of the Indian Delegation had a copy of the recording of that performance in Hamburg in 1942 and it was handed over to the UN Authorities who arranged to have it played before the August Assembly as the National Anthem of India.
The rest, as they say is History.
Here is a Song that served as inspiration to a young Subhash Bose
The Song was written by noted Bengali Poet ATUL PRASAD SEN (1871-1934) and the story goes that Atul Prasad had been moved by a Boatman’s Song during a visit to Venice and based his Patriotic Song on that tune.
With warm regards
PARTHA CHANDA
