This song from “Joru Ka Bhai” (1955) is sung by Lata. The lyrics of this song sound similar to a Talat Mehmood song from this movie, but the lyrics are different and that has forced me to treat this song as a different song and not as a multiple version song.

Teri zulfon se pyaar kaun kare

In this blog, I treat the number of songs discussed as the same as the number of posts. For instance, as of now, it is mentioned that the blog has 4876 songs. But it is not true. It means that this blog had 4876 posts. Multiple version songs, where songs with same lyrics are sung by different artists are discussed in one post in this blog, but they are really different songs. If one begins to count the number of songs that way (which is the actual way of counting songs), then this blog has already has already discussed over 5000 songs. It is for the sake of convenience and to avoid duplication of work that such multiple version songs are discussed in one post.

Main rotaa hoon mat manaa karo

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Comparatively, the treasure of Hindi songs by Pankaj Babu is limited. In the Hindi/Urdu domain, Pankaj Babu has scored music for about 25 films from 1933 to 1954, some of them in collaboration with RC Boral. He has rendered less than 40 songs in all, in Hindi films. Outside of films, and excluding the live programs and recordings, the non-film Hindi songs number about 20. And so comparatively, his contribution appears to be not as significant (in the Hindi domain) as that of his contemporaries. His musical creations are more prolific in the Bengali film and non-film space. By some accounts, Pankaj Babu has composed over five thousand songs. Simply going by the numbers, it is evident that his major contribution has been in Bengali.
