“Rangeeli” (1952) was an M & T Production movie. It was directed by Najam Naqvi. This obscure movie had Raj Kumar, S. Nazir, Leela Misra, Yakub, Rehana etc in it. I presume that the Raj Kumar of this movie is one of the lesser known Raj Kumars.

Ps-Mr Harish Raghuwanshi, the compiler of Mukesh Geetkosh and a regular of this blog informs me that this movie in fact was the debut movie of the famous Raj Kumar. So this Raj Kumar is in fact the well known “Jaani” Raj Kumar.

C RAMCHANDRA is generally considered a rebel amongst the composers of his times. He is the one, who, in the fifth decade of the 20th century itself brought full fledged western music variety in Hindi songs. At the same time he composed soft and extremely melodious songs based on various Ragaas also. He took Lata Mangeshkar to the pinnacle where she remained, later, on her own merit, for a long period.

C Ramchandra can be easily called the King of Anokhe Bol songs, though he is not who started it.
