ALBELAA (1951) was a musical blockbuster produced and directed by Master Bhagwan. In my childhood days, I had quite often heard ‘shaam dhale khidki tale tum seeti bajaanaa chhod do’ but none of the other songs from the film. I saw this film for the first time on Doordarshan in early 80s. Thereafter, I must have seen this movie a couple of times after I bought VCD of this film last year. This was Bhagwan’s first venture for a big budget film after producing and directing some low budget C grade films. The film was the third highest box office grosser of 1951 ranking after ‘Aawaraa’ and ‘Baazi’. It was an amazing feat for Bhagwan to achieve a box office success with this film despite having a run of the mill story ( probably based on his own life), a lacklustre direction and a non-conventional lead actor like him. The credit goes to the film’s foot tapping songs which became a craze those days and are still popular with the new generation as well.

I have commented in the past that Hindi movie songs are mostly based on topics that are of interest to Indians. But often there are day to day activities that have sadly gone underrepresented in Hindi movie songs.

Presenting the song in response to the farmaish posted by Arun ji Deshmukh.
I am sure the number of folks would be very few, those who have not heard the iconic song, ‘Mere Piyaa Gaye Rangoon’ . The film Patanaga comes from the year 1949, which is considered as a watershed year in the annals of Hindi film music. So many wonderful movies with great music and great songs were released in this year, that it became a memorable year in terms of rising popularity of film music in India. The film is produced under the banner of Verma Films, Bombay and is directed by the distinguished Harnam Singh Rawail.

Though I have discussed as many as seven songs from “Nastik” (1954), I was not aware of this song till a few hours ago.
This song is a bhajan cum public lament. In this song, Ajit, Usha Kiran and others are sitting in a temple in front of the idols of gods and Ajit sings this song. The song states that non believers tend to blame God for their misdeeds, but their efforts to give a bad name to God cannot succeed. God’s flag will always fly high, come what may.
