# Bhoole-Bisre Geet #
—————————————
Today I am presenting a song from the 1977 movie ‘Aanand Aashram’. It was directed by Shakti Samanta for his home productions ‘Shakti Films’. I had earlier presented a song from this movie on this blog on 14.01.2023. This song is ‘jab chaaho chalee aaoongee’. I had not watched this movie till then, but I did always remember the two well-known songs from this movie i.e. ‘raahee naye naye rastaa nayaa nayaa’ and ‘saaraa pyaar tumhaaraa maine baandhh liyaa hain aanchal mein’. So, when I presented the third song from this movie I had also gone through the remaining songs from this movie and some parts of this movie. I am always fascinated by the movies coming from the Bengali directors and those which are based on the literary works of the writers coming from Bengal. I have a great admiration for the arts, culture, theatre and films coming from that part of our country. I always had this movie on the back of my mind and that is the reason for this post today.

#Debutant Movie- Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960#
Today we introduce the movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ on this blog. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.02.1960. Initially I was surprised to note this, because I was under the impression that this movie has been represented on the blog long back. But the reason for this was confusing this with the title ‘Alam Ara’. We have three movies with this title made in the year 1931, 1956 & 1973 already available on this blog.
This movie ‘Alam Ara Ki Beti-1960’ was directed by Nanubhai Vakil for Desai Kalamandir, Bombay. Moghabhai Desai was the producer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Naina, Maruti, Daljeet, Prakash, Kanchanmala, Jeevankala, Sadik, Tuntun, Munshi Munakka, Chandabai, Nazmi, Sashimala, M. Kumar, Nadir, Meharbanu, Razzaq, Pawan Kumar, Ismail Azad, Yusuf Azad Qawwaal and others.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-52)
—————————–
Today we remember Ramchandra Narayandut Dwivedi whom we fondly admire and respect as Kavi Pradeep or ‘Rashtra Kavi Pradeep’ on his 28th Remembrance Day. He was born on 6th February, 1915 and he passed away on 11th December, 1998 leaving behind a great body of work, including poetry and songs in his voice. Many of the songs penned by him and sung by him have now become immortal heritage of our country. Today we pay our tributes to Kavi Pradeep on his Remembrance Day.On this occasion I am presenting a song written by him for the movie ‘Dashehraa-1956’.

(Debutant Movie-‘Double Cross-1938’)
Today I am presenting a song from a movie of 1938. Regulars on this blog will be surprised to see a write-up from me presenting a song from a movie which is around eighty-seven years old. I have been sharing older songs but this must be the oldest of them. I had come across this song more than a year back.
This song is from the movie ‘Double Cross’ from the year 1938. Most of us are aware of the movie titled ‘Double Cross-1977’. This movie of 1977 has a song that is part of my childhood and I had shared that song on this blog. Adding songs from movies with same title is one of my missions, and that is the reason for this post as well. With this post ‘Double Cross’ of 1938 joins the ‘Double Cross’ of ‘1977 🙂 on the blog.
“Double Cross-1938” was directed by M. Bhawnani for ‘Bhawnani Productions, Bombay’. M. Bhawnani was also the story writer of this movie. The cast of this movie had Bimla Kumari, S.B. Nayampalli, Faity (Fatty?) Prasad, Ameena, David, Kishore, A.S. Gyani, R. Dilawar, Master Hussain, Rai Mohan and others. This movie has eight songs as listed in Geet Kosh Vol-I (1931-1940). However the lyricists name is not known for this movie. Music for this movie was composed by Pt Badri Prasad and Walter Coffman was the ‘orchestra organizer’(as mentioned in Geet Kosh). Singer’s names for all the eight songs are mentioned in Geet Kosh. They are Gauhar (Bikaner), Bimla Kumari, Bashir Qawwaal, Faity Prasad, and Ameena.
It will be interesting to know if all songs from this movie can be located. So far, only this song is available. It is a duet song and one of the oldest example of a ‘nok-jhonk’ song.
Let us now listen to this song. The man likens himself to vegetables and likens his sweetheart to sweets. 🙂 Faity Prasad and Ameena are the singers of this song. Lyricist is not known whereas music is composed by Pt Badri Prasad.
I was not able to note correct words at some places.I would request knowledgeable readers to kindly suggest the correct words at those places.
Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that the singers had also acted in the movie, one can guess that the song was picturised on themselves in the movie.
With this song, let us welcome ‘Double Cross-1938’ on this blog !!!

suno pyaaree ee
zaraa aahistaa
aahistaa
