“Kavi”(1954) was directed by Debki Bose for sunrise Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Bharat Bhushan, Geeta Bali, Nalini Jaywant, Chandrashekhar, B M Vyas, Jankidas, Om Prakash etc in it.
The movie had ten songs in it. Six songs have been discussed in the blog in the past.
Here is the seventh song from “Kavi”(1954) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by C Ramchandra and Asha Bhonsle. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.
Only audio of the song is available. From the lyrics, it is clear that the song takes a light hearted look at the “fashionable” ladies of those days. Yes, women used to be fashionable and westernised even seven decades ago. 🙂
Song-Chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar (Kavi)(1954) Singers-C Ramchandra, Asha Bhonsle, Lyricist-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra

Lyrics
shahar mein dekha ek tamaasha
beech sadak ik naar
shahar mein dekha ek tamaasha
beech sadak ik naar
sainya ke sang chalee ghoomne
banee galey ka haar

chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
cigarette peetee dhuaan udaatee
rail ka jaise bamba
are mardon jaise baal kate
bhai naar hui ya khambha
cigarette peetee dhuaan udaatee
rail ka jaise bamba
are mardon jaise baal kate
bhai naar hui ya khambha
laal bahu ke gaal gulaabee
nain musaafir maar
musaafir maar
musaafir maar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
baabu ko vo kahe darling
darling
kahaan kee hai ye bolee
baabu ko vo kahe darling
kahaan kee hai ye bolee
lamb tadanga kurta pehne
na ghoonghat na cholee
ram ram
lamb tadanga kurta pehne
na ghoonghat na cholee
maal to desee chaal bidesee
samajh na aaye yaar
na aaye yaar
na aaye yaar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
buree hai kya phir yaaron
apne raamlal kee maa
bholee bhaalee
seedhee saadee sada kare jee haan
buree hai kya phir yaaron
apne raamlal kee maa
bholee bhaalee
seedhee saadee sada kare jee haan
arre bachche paale chauka deke
kare balam sang pyaar
balam sang pyaar
balam sang pyaar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar

Today, January 5, 2025, is the 44th Remembrance Day of Ramchandra Narhar Chitalkar, popularly known as C Ramchandra as a music director and Chitalkar as a playback singer. He regaled the connoisseurs of Hindi film music with his melodious musical compositions in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the pioneer of introducing popular foot-tapping songs with western musical influence and western musical instruments like saxophone and guitar in his compositions as early as in the 1940s. At the same time, he was composing classical raag-based as well as folk-based songs. He was trained in Hindustani classical music for six years first under Vinayakbua Patwardhan and later Shankarrao Sapre.
Despite producing many melodious songs especially in the 1950s, it is unfortunate that C Ramchandra did not get any award – whether National Film Award or Filmfare Award as a music director. The first Filmfare Awards were announced in April 1954 for films released in 1953. But his film, ‘Anarkali (1953) was not in the reckoning for the best music director’s award. His film, ‘Aazaad’ (1955) and ‘Paighaam’ (1959) were nominated for the Filmfare Award in best music director category but did not win. But the fact remains that many of his melodious and rhythmic songs of 1950s are still popular among the current generation which itself is a great award to a creative genius.

Today’s song is from the comedy film Hangama-1952.
1952 was an year which was going through a lean period for Hindi films. Increased costs of Film production, escalating rates of stars and music Directors, establishment of Star System in place of earlier Studio System, increasing taxes, decreasing number of Cinema Halls etc caused a worry in the film industry. Financiers with Black money were making films – in 1952 the number of Hindi films made went up to 105 from 97 of 1951, but dropped again to 98 in 1953. Most films were of lower quality. Because of superior music there were some great films too, but the situation was grave nevertheless.

Today’s song is from the film Sipahiya-1949.
Many film artists – actors, singers, directors etc – have written their autobiography. If you take a look at all these, the females have more autobios than the males, for reasons not known to me. In my last few years of activity in the arena of old films, I have collected many books and have received many books as ‘Gifts’ from the authors. Among these, there are many autobios, including the autobio of C Ramchandra, music director of today’s film Sipahiya-1949.

This is my 1400th post on this Blog. For me, it is like a big dream. I feel I will wake up and find that this figure was only a dream figure ! But looks like it is all real.
While I am glad for this new Milestone, it is still a mystery how it has happened. When I retired from my service in 1998 and later from all professional activities in 2010, I was thinking what to do now. Then one day I remembered about my old notebooks in which I had written about the old films which I saw in my younger days and I opened those Pandora’s boxes. A new world opened before me. I bought a Laptop and learnt how to operate it from my grandchildren, who seemed to be born with that knowledge ! I was 71 years old then.

Today’s song is a duet by Rafi and Chitalkar from the social comedy film Hangama-1952.
This is my 1300th post on this Blog. Is it for real ? It is too difficult for me to accept that I have written 1300 posts on old film songs. How did it happen ? If someone had predicted, when I was 71 year old, that I would write a New Chapter in my life and achieve few Milestones, that my name will be known to many people all over India and other countries, and that I will even write a couple of books…. and all this on old films and its music, I would have laughed aloud for a long time ! But it did happen !!
