“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. 🙂

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

In this short write-up, I present the last song, ‘aaya hoon gharbaar chhod main ban ne filmi star’ to be covered on the Blog from an obscure film, ‘Bahke Kadam’ (1971). The song is written by Dharmesh Dutt which is set to music by Usha Khanna. The film was produced and directed by Dharmesh Dutt who also acted in the film and wrote the songs. The cast included Agha, Aprajita, Dharmesh Dutt, Madan Puri, Jagirdar, Sundar, Mridula, Sulochana, Kanu Roy etc. This appears to be the only film of Dharmesh Dutt as a producer, director, actor and song writer. The VCD/DVD of the film is not available on any video sharing platform.
The song under discussion is rendered by Mohammed Rafi. Since video clip of the song is not available, I can only make a guess based on the lyrics that the song may have been picturised on Agha. Two features of this song are that in the last stanza, suddenly the mukhda part of the song, ‘dil dekhe dekho’ gets incorporated. Incidentally, the old song was also rendered by Mohammed Rafi and set to music by Usha Khanna.

#the Decade of Thirties – 1931 – 1940 #

(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 !!!
Song-Suno pyaaree suno pyaaree zaraa aaahistaa aahistaa (Double Cross)(1938) Singers-Fatty Prasad, Ameena, Lyricist-Unknown, MD-Pt Badri Prasad

zaraa aahistaa aahistaa
suno pyaaree ee
suno pyaaree ee
zaraa aahistaa
aahistaa

Today’s song is from the film Adab Arz-1943.
It is one of those films, where you don’t find any connection between the film’s title and its story, even with a far-fetched imagination. This is what I call “Cheating” the audience. In the first instance you would feel that this is a story about a Muslim family. But no, it is not. Maybe the word ‘cheating’ is a harsh word, we can call it a misleading trick !
The film was made by Amar pictures, Bombay – which was started by Chimanlal Desai after Sagar Movietone closed and he also left National Studios. The film was one of the 8 films that his son-Virendra Desai – directed in his failed career. Music was provided to the 12 songs written by Rammurthy Chaturvedi, Kailash G Matwala and Pt. Indra, by Gyan Dutt who had recently left his long association with Ranjit Movietone. The cast of the film was Nalini Jayawant, Karan Dewan, Kamla Chaterjee, Ansari, Pratima Devi, Dulari, Mukesh, Nagendra M, M Kumar, and many others.
