Today’s song is from the film Ankh ka Nasha(1956).
Same Title films were also made in 1928 and 1933. The Talkie film of 1933 was a remake of the 1928 Silent film. Today’s film was made by Natraj Productions, Bombay and was produced by a Trio of Madan- Ved and Daljeet. The film was directed by the Debut making team of Ved-Madan. They went on directing 8 more films in next 14 years. Their films were Johnny Walker (1957), Mr. Cartoon M.A.(1958), Kala Admi(1960), First Love(1961), Neeli Aankhen(1962), Gazal(1964), Haye Mera Dil(1968) and Sau saal beet gaye(1970). The Lyricist of all the 7 songs was Harsh and the Music Composer was Pt.Dhaniram. The cast of the film was Anita Guha, M.Rajan, Raj mehra, Shammi, Chaman Puri, W.M.Khan, Helen etc
An interesting name in the cast was Chaman Puri. Some readers may remember him as the eldest brother of Madan Puri (30-9-1915 to 13-1-1985, 430 films) and Amrish Puri (22-6-1932 to 12-1-2005, 283 films. Chaman Puri (2-10-1914 to 22-6-1998, 95 films) had one more brother Harish Lal Puri and one sister Chandrakanta. Both were not connected with films in any way. All the siblings were the First Cousins of Actor Singer K.L.Saigal.
Chaman Puri started his career from Calcutta, with the help of Saigal, in the film Abhagin (1938) and Street Singer(1938) made by New Theatres, Calcutta. His other famous films were Sargam(1950), Bahaar(1951), Shart(1954), Paying Guest(1957), Howrah Bridge(1958), Leader(1964), The Train(1970), Victoria 303(1972) etc.
There were 3 more cases of 3 brothers working in films as Actors. The first was Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar and Anup Kumar. The other Triplet was Johnny Walker aka Badruddin, Tony Walker aka Kamaluddin and Vijay Kumar aka Jamaluddin. The third was Dev Anand, Chetan Anand and Vijay Anand. Offhand I don’t remember any other Triplet of male actors. If any reader remembers, please write in the comments section.
Edit: How did I forget Kapoor brothers Raj, Shammi and Shashi. Another example is from the family of Raj Kapoor’s brother in law family, viz Premnath, Rajendranath and Narendranath.
However, among the Actresses such triplet cases were more. The first was Zubeida (Alam Ara fame)- Sultana-Shahzadi. Some others were Zohra-Mushtari-Anuradha (Khursheed Akhtar), Patience Cooper- Violet- Pearl, Sitara Devi-Alaknanda-Tara Devi, Shakila-Noor-Nasreen and Padmini-Ragini-Lalitha. Let us know about any other names.
2 Brothers or 2 sister cases like Dilip Kumar and Nasir Khan and Leela Desai and Monica Desai were many in numbers.
The story of the film Ankh ka Nasha had nothing to do with its title. Perhaps the writer meant the Nasheeli ankhen of the film Heroine ! Maybe ! The story was :-
Gulnar was the most beautiful dancer of Ispahan. The king of Ispahan loved two people the most. His son-Murad and his General Azam khan, who won many wars for him. By chance they both loved Gulnar, but she loved young Murad. However the king fixed her marriage with the General-Azam khan. Murad and Azam khan started quarreling. The king was furious and ordered the beheading of Gulnar. Next day, before sunrise, Murad and Gulnar ran away from the kingdom. On their way, they met a Caravan, whose head was Jabbar. He caught both and threw Murad in the jungle to die without food and in an unconscious condition.
Jabbar was a slave dealer and took Gulnar to the king of Dilbad. There the king and the Vazir fought for Gulnar. The vazir arrested the King and kept Gulnar in his Harem. Meanwhile Murad was saved by a kind soul named Baglol. Both of them went to Dilbad to make money, not knowing that Gulnar was there. There the Vazir’s sister-Yasmin fell in love with Murad. From Yasmin , he came to know that Gulnar was there only. Murad and Baglol killed Vazir and Yasmin, freed the king and got Gulnar. The king made him the Vazir and married him to Gulnar.
Gulnar’s role was done efficiently by actress Anita Guha. Anita was born on 17-1-1939 on the Indo-Burma border, where her father was a Forest Officer. Her childhood was spent in the North-East, but after Partition her family shifted to Calcutta. She did her schooling here. In the early 50s, she became “Miss Calcutta”. In 1952, she also won in the Kolynos Talent competition in Bombay, along with Chand Usmani and Peace Kanwal.
A R Kardar signed a contract with her for 2 years and she returned to Calcutta. However, she started getting many film offers in Bangla, so she cancelled her contract with Kardar and did many films in Bangla Language. Meanwhile she also picked up Hindi fluently.
Actor producer Omprakash met her in one of his visits to Calcutta and he offered her the Heroine’s role in film Duniya Gol Hai-1955, opposite Karan Dewan. She accepted the film and shifted to Bombay. Not having proper guidance, she started accepting any film that came to her. As a result in A grade films, she did side roles and in B grade films she became a Heroine. After Duniya Gol hai and Tangewali, she did many Hindi films. Her first Mythological film was Pawanputra Hanuman in 1957 and then she was branded a Religious film heroine. She however did some social and comedy films like Gateway of India, Dekh kabira Roya, Goonj uthi shehnai etc etc.
In 1961, she appeared as Sita, in Babubhai Mistry’s Sampoorna Ramayana, which made her a household name. But it was her title role in Jai Santoshi Maa (1975) that brought her the most fame. She had never even heard of goddess Santoshi until she was offered the role, as this was a little- known goddess. It was only a guest appearance, and her scenes were shot in 10–12 days. She fasted during the shooting. The low-budget movie was a surprise hit and broke box office records while becoming a cultural phenomenon. The goddess Santoshi now became a famous goddess, and women all over India worshipped her. People treated the movie theatres showing Jai Santoshi Maa as a temple, bringing offerings of food, leaving slippers at the door. Guha claimed that people came to her asking her to bless them, as they perceived her to be a real goddess.
Other mythological films she acted in include Kavi Kalidas (1959), Jai Dwarkadesh (1977) and Krishna Krishna (1986). She wasn’t happy that she became typecast as a mythological actress, because acting offers eventually stopped coming her way. Her earlier credits include period films such as Sangeet Samrat Tansen (1962), Kan Kan Mein Bhagwan (1963) and Veer Bhimsen (1964). She played Rajesh Khanna’s adoptive mother in the huge hit Aradhana (1969).
Anita Guha was married to actor Manik Dutt, they had no children. After her husband’s death, she lived alone in Mumbai where she died of cardiac failure on 20 June 2007. Anita Guha was the maternal aunt of actor Prema Narayan and Prema is the daughter of her sister Anuradha Guha. She was also the aunt of another film actress Mithu Mukherjee.
She acted in more than 100 films and acted in Hindi (72 films),Bangla, Rajasthani and Bhojpuri films. (The post is based on information culled from beetehuedin.com, S. Sarvaiya’s article, muVys, HFGK, Ateet ke sitare,wiki and my notes.)
Today’s song-a qawwali- is sung by Sabita Bannerjee, S.Balbir, Krishan Goel and Chorus. Not much is known about Krishan Goel. Krishan Goel was born on 29th September 1927, and he left this world on 4th June, 2010. At the age of six, he started singing in the court of Maharaja Hari Singh Ji of J&K, and was a friend of Prince Karan Singh Ji. During his later years, he also used to accompany Jagjit Singh in his concerts.
Krishan Goel sang very few songs in HFM, and most of them are quite difficult to locate. atulsongaday blog has six songs sung by him.
He was born in Jammu. He got educated in Lahore and started singing on Lahore Radio. He came to Bombay in 1946 and in 1947 he met Shyambabu Pathak, who gave him a chance to sing 2 Bhajans in the film ‘ Krishna Sudama’ -47. He had also acted in that film in a small role. He had also acted in the film Apna Desh-1949.
He had some limitations in singing. He could not sing in high pitch. Due to this , he got few singing opportunities. He sang in films like,Krisna Sudama, Dahej, Dhuaan, Kaale Badal, Ladki, Lanka Dahan, Mallika, Naag padmini, Passing show, Ankh ka Nasha,Raees and Khul ja sim sim. He sang 20 songs in 12 films. He did not sing after 1957.
Some more additional information about Krishan Goel is that later in life, he joined a famous Bombay restaurant, Copper Chimney, and used to sing there as well. ( the period is around 1996-7). He was a shy and reserved person. ( Thanks to Arvinder Sharma ji-his relative- for this extra information).

Today’s song is a Special song having a Historical Value. It is from the film Andhon ki Duniya-1947.
There is a solid reason why I am calling this song a Special song with Historical value. Every singer has a First song in his career. For an ordinary or a less famous singer this First song has no problem, but in the case of an established, famous, Popular and for one who has sung in several languages, the First Song has many cousins. First song means which song ? Is it the First recorded song, or the First released song, or First song in any language or First song in Hindi Film or First song filmed on the singer on screen or the First Playback song in Hindi film or a First song as NFS or a first solo song ?
Usually, for the popular, famous and multi-Language singer all the above varieties of ‘First Song’ are applicable. For the major singers like Mohd. Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Talat Mahmood etc or Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Geeta Dutt, Shamshad Begum, Amirbai Karnataki, Zohrabai etc, the Hindi Film music lovers have already found out the various types of their ‘First Songs’. However, an important rule for any History – be it National History, Film history or Music history – is that the facts available today are only Correct till a new evidence is discovered and the Correct Fact of today is gone to accommodate the New fact.
Such things have happened in case of ALL major singers of Hindi films and now in cases of most singers the Facts are almost final for their songs. OR IS IT ?
Now, this is where today’s song which is a Special song with a Historical value comes in. In the case of the famous, evergreen and versatile singer Asha Bhosle, till today, her First Hindi film playback song was considered as “Saawan Aaya” from film ‘ Chunariya’-1948, but now new evidence has come to the fore which clearly proves that her First Hindi Film Playback Song is from film “Andhon ki Duniya”-1947. This is also a chorus song (like the Chunariya song, with 4 singers), in which the singers are Asha Bhosle, Zohrabai, Manmohan Krishna and Krishna Goel (as confirmed by film music historian shri Girdharilal ji Vishwakarma ).
This “New Fact” is confirmed after a video of an interview of Asha Bhosle, taken by shri. Vishwanath Sachdev, famous author and the ex-Editor of magazine Dharmayug appeared. In this video, Asha Bhosle herself confirms that her FIRST PLAYBACK SONG is from the film ” Andhon ki Duniya”-1947 and NOT the Chunariya song. This is an interview of 1993-94 period. Recently, this video appeared on the RMIM forum and senior members Pavan ji Jha and Girdharilal ji Vishwakarma provided all the details along with an MP3 recording of the song. So, out goes Hansraj Behl ji and in comes Vasant Desai ji as the composer of Asha’s First Hindi Film Playback Song !
Film Andhon ki Duniya-1947 was made by V. Shantaram’s Rajkamal Kalamandir Ltd. Bombay. It was directed by Keshavrao Datey. Keshavrao was a famous actor of early Marathi and Hindi films. He acted in 16 Hindi films, starting with film Pratibha-1937 and ending with Navrang-1959. Earlier, he had also directed another Hindi film- Kisi se na kehna-1942. Keshavrao Datey died on 13-9-1971 at the age of 82 years. His role of Rajguru in the Marathi film Amrit Manthan-1934 had become very famous. This role was done by Chandra Mohan in the film’s Hindi version. This too was famous.
The film’s Music Director was Vasant Desai. The cast was Leela Chitnis, Manmohan Krishna, Munawwar Sultana, Parshuram, Mahipal, Gulab and many others. Today’s song is mentioned in HFGK, but without names of singers or the Lyricist, though luckily the Record number is mentioned. One of the singers of this song is Manmohan Krishna, whose face can not be forgotten due to his bushy thick eyebrows. When this highly educated actor/singer joined the Hindi films, in his 2 early films, he was the hero, but soon he became a character artiste.
MANMOHAN KRISHNA was born on 11-8-1908, at Lahore in Punjab. He was a very studious person and always stood first in school. He completed his M.Sc. in Physics and started working as a Physics lecturer in a Lahore college. He was very fond of singing and also sang on Lahore Radio. Once when V. Shantaram visited Lahore, he heard Manmohan’s singing on stage and was impressed. Shantaram offered him the lead role in his forthcoming film, “Matwala Shair Ramjoshi”-1947, In this film Manmohan sang 6 solos and 3 duets with Zohrabai Ambalewali. However, his first song as a playback singer was in Shantaram’s film, ” Jeewan Yatra”-1946, under Vasant Desai’s baton.
In his career of more than 40 years, he acted in 183 films and directed 1 film – Noorie-1979. He also sang 24 songs in 8 films, namely Jeewan Yatra-46, Matwala Shayar Ramjoshi-47, Andhon ki duniya-47, Apna Desh-49, Afsar-50, Aaram-51, Railway Platform-55 and Shehar aur Sapna-1963. During his stay in Bombay, he anchored a Radio show ” Cadbury’s Phulwari” in the 50’s.
Manmohan Krishna was connected with Indian Peoples Theatre i.e. IPTA and acted in few of their dramas. Being an educated person, he was impressed with Nehruvian Secularism. He worked in films like Shehar aur Sapna by K. A.Abbas as well as the first Indo-Soviet film Pardesi-1957. He also got the Film Fare award for playing the role of Abdul Chacha in the film Dhool ka Phool-64. A song in this film ” Tu Hindu banega na Musalman banega ” shot on him, became very popular.
Being a member of the intelligentsia, he could not sell himself nor gel into the Hindi filmi world fully. He always fought against injustice. He established ‘ Yuvak Biradari ‘ for young Indians, which became a big organisation in due course.
He was a favourite of the Chopra Brothers and acted in most films made by them. Some of his famous films were Deewar, Trishul, Humraaz, Insaaf ka Tarazu, Joshila, Kanoon, Kala Pathar, Dhool ka phool, Waqt, Naya Daur etc. etc. He also worked in 12 Punjabi films. He was prominently spotted in any role due to his thick bushy eyebrows.
In Hindi films, he rarely got a hero’s role, barring few films, because of his ordinary look. He had no looks required for a Hero’s role in a commercial film, in those days. He was of course an excellent Character Artiste. Due to his nature, he kept away from Filmi parties and groupism. He had no real friends in the film industry. Manmohan krishna did not keep good health in his last few years and died at the age of 82 years, in Lokmanya Tilak Hospital, Bombay, on 3-11-1990.
( Based on some information from wiki, ‘Beete kal ke sitare’ by Shriram Tamrakar, muVyz, HFGK and my notes. Thanks to all.)
I thank my friend Shri Abhay Jain ji from the USA for providing this song and our friend Shri Sadanand Kamath ji for uploading it for me.
Let us now enjoy the chorus song, which brought the popular, versatile Asha ji into Hindi Film Playback singing….
