Today (11 December 2023) is the 101st birth anniversary of Dilip Kumar (11 December 1922 – 7 July 2021). He was the first superstar of Hindi movies, even though this term was not coined during his time. Those who later became known as superstars were often influenced by the acting style of Dilip Kumar.
Dilip Kumar made his debut in Hindi movies with “Jwaar Bhaata”(1944).
“Jwaar Bhaata”(1944) was directed by Amiya Chakravarty for Bombay Talkies, Bombay. The movie had Dilip Kumar, Agha, Shamim, Dilip Kumar, Mridula Rani, K N Singh, Mumtaz Ali, Arun Kumar Ahuja etc in it.
“Jwaar Bhaata”(1944) had ten songs in it. Six songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the seventh song from “Jwaar Bhaata”(1944) to be covered in the blog. This song is sung by Parul Ghosh, Arun Kumar Mukherjee and female chorus. Pt Narendra Sharma is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
I have not been able to get several words in the lyrics. I request our readers with keener ears to help decipher them.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.

“Shanti”(1947) was directed by S U Sunny for Firdaus Art Productions, Bombay. The movie had Vijayalaxmi, Jeevan, Afzal, Latika, Sunalini Devi, Pratima Devi,Sharada, Shabnam, Munees Begum, Mustafa, Amir, A.R.Kashmiri, Master Ratan, Suleman etc in it.
“Shanti”(1947) had ten songs in it. Five songs have been covered so far in the blog.
Here is the sixth song from the movie to appear here. HFGK mentions this song as sung by B S Thakur, but we can notice that the song is in the voice of female voice (parul Ghosh). Likewise, another song from the movie is mentions as sung by Parul Ghosh but that is in a male voice (B S Thakur). So we guess that there was a clerical error that led to singer credit getting switched for two songs in the movie.
The song is a sad lullaby. Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Music is composed by B S Thakur.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

‘Shanti’ (1947) was directed by SU Sunny for Firdaus Art Productions, Bombay. The movie had Vijayalaxmi, Jeevan, Afzal, Lathika, Sunalini Devi, Prathima Devi, Sharada, Shabnam, Munees Begum, Mustafa, Amir, AR Kashmiri, Master Ratan, Suleman etc in it.
‘Shanti’ (1947) had ten songs in it. Four songs have been covered so far.
Here is the fifth song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Parul Ghosh (credited as Shrimati Ghosh). Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Music is composed by BS Thakur.
Audio of the song is not very clear. The lyrics as sung appear a bit amiss. It appears to me that the lyricist Shakeel Badayuni handed over the lyrics and he was not called upon to explain the meaning of words and their pronunciations to the singer when the song was to be recorded. As a result, the song appears to me to be sung without much feeling. May be it is just my observation and others may differ with me.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

तक़दीर में रोना है

दामन को भिगोना है

क्यों टूटे हुये दिल को
ये दुनिया सताती है
क्यों टूटे हुये दिल को
ये दुनिया सताती है
जलती हुई आशा को

डगमग है मेरी नैया
अब क्या मुझे साहिल से
डगमग है मेरी नैया
अब क्या मुझे साहिल से
जलती हैं तमन्नाएं
उसका है गुमां दिल पे
जलती हैं तमन्नाएं
उसका है गुमां दिल पे
मालूम है इस दिल को
अंजाम जो होना है
तक़दीर में रोना है
Gunchey sharminda na hon

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.137
————————————————————————————–
On this date ten years ago (23 June 2013), four songs from four different movies were covered in the blog.
Here are the details of the songs covered in the blog on that day:-
| Post No | Song Title | Name of the movie | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8229/td> | Do haklon ka suno fasaana | Subah Ka Taara (1954) | 6 songs covered out of 8 by now |
| 8230 | Chala chal chala chal gar hai andhera | Baarood(1960) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog by now |
| 8231 | Ik aisa geet sunaavo | Tohfaa (1947) | 9 songs covered out of 10 by now |
| 8232 | Adaa qaatil nazar barq e bala | Ghazal (1964) | Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song |
We observe that one movie (out of four movies) whose songs were covered on this date ten years ago have since been YIPPEED. In fact, the true statement would be that one movie out of four got YIPPEED in the blog on this date ten years ago. Other three movies are still unYIPPEED ten years later.
One of the unYIPPEED movie is just one song short of getting YIPPEED.
That movie is “Tohfa”(1947).
“Tohfa”(1947) was directed by Aghajaani Kashmiri for Seth Brothers Productions, Bombay. The movie had Nawab, Veera, Anuradha, Rehman, Mishra, Basant Malini, T N Charlie, Agha Mirza, Masih, Shakuntala, Pushpa, Baby Janet, Anita etc in it.
The movie had ten songs in it. Nine songs from this movie have been discussed in the past.
Here are the details of the songs already covered in the blog:-

We observe that Mukesh was the only male playback singer in the movie, whereas there were three female playback singers (Parul Ghosh, Hamida Bano and Geeta Roy (Later Dutt). There were only two duets (both by Mukesh-Hamida Bano). All other songs were solo songs.
There were six lyricists in the movie namely Nazeer Hyderabadi, Aghajaan Kashmiri, Aarzoo Lucknowi, Saqib Lucknowi, Shant Arora and Rafiq Ghaznavi .
Here is the ninth song from the movie. This song was sung by Parul Ghosh (described as Shrimati Ghosh in HFGK). Aghajaan Kashmiri is the lyricist. Music is composed by M A Rauf Osmania.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
With this song, all the songs of “Tohfa”(1947) have been covered in the blog. The movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

If one looks at the details of “Milan”(1946) in HFGK part 2, we get the information that it is a “Social” movie that was directed by Nitin Bose for Bombay Talkies, Bombay. The movie had Dilip Kumar, Meera Mishra, Ranjana, Pahadi Sanyal,Moni Chattterjee, Sham Laha,S Nazeer. HFGK mentions eight songs in this movie. Four songs each were penned by Aarzoo Lucknowi and P L Santoshi. HFGK mentions the name of singers in five songs and record numbers in six songs. Details of singers and record numbers are not given for two songs.
That is as far as HFGK is concerned. We in this blog have gathered far more information about this movie that is not available anuwhere else. For example, we now know Thanks to our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, that this was not just a “social” movie, but it was a movie based on a Rabindranath Tagore novel “Naukadoobi”. This novel has been a constant source for movie making. Several Bangla and Hindi movies (andf may be movies in other languages too) have been made based on this story. The reason is that the story seems tailormade for Indian movies as it has masalas like people separated in a mishap, cases of mistaken identities taking place subsequently, good amount of drama, including melodrama etc. The details are provided in past writeups on a few songs of this movie.
The story of the movie , as described in a past writeup by Arunkumar Deshmukh jee, is reproduced here:-
The story is set in 1905. Ramesh (Dilip Kumar) is studying law in Calcutta and has just appeared for his final exams. He is a friend and neighbour of Jogen who is also studying law. Jogen (Shyam Laha) lives with his father Annada Babu (Moni Chatterjee) and sister Hemnalini (Ranjana). Ramesh and Hemnalini are fond of each other and Ramesh visits their house most days for tea. Their association is disliked by another friend Akshay (Pahadi Sanyal) who also likes Hemnalini.
Ramesh has been asked to come back to his village for the holidays by his father but is dissuaded from going by Hemnalini. Ramesh’s father Braja Mohan (KP Mukherjee) is from the priestly caste and lives in the village. He receives an anonymous letter stating that his son is involved with the neighbour’s daughter who comes from a tradesman caste and that he spends his entire time there.
Braja Mohan goes to the city and brings Ramesh back with him to the village. He has arranged Ramesh’s wedding with a poor widow’s daughter. Ramesh tries to convince his father about his involvement with Hemnalini. His father after satisfying himself that Ramesh has as yet not committed himself to Hemnalini prevails upon Ramesh to marry Sushila because of the promise he had given to the girl’s mother. There is a storm at night when the wedding party from the groom’s side is returning to their village by boat. During the crossing the boat capsizes. Nearly all on the boat are drowned including Ramesh’s father and Ramesh appears to be the only one to survive. He sees a woman in bridal dress lying unconscious on the bank. He brings her to his village but soon understands that this is a case of mistaken identity. She continuously checks him when he calls her Sushila and tells him her name is Kamala (Meera Mishra). He realizes there was another bridal procession and their boat too had capsized.
After the formalities of his father’s funeral service Ramesh decides to take Kamala to Calcutta. He finds out about her only living relative, an uncle, and writes to him. A letter arrives telling him of the death of Kamala’s uncle but the sender has mentioned Kamala’s husband’s name and profession. His name is Nalin and he’s a doctor. Ramesh now starts searching for Dr. Nalin. He has so far made no mention about his marriage to Hemnalini or her family nor told anyone regarding the mistaken identity of his supposed bride to avoid any embarrassment to the girl.
On arrival in Calcutta, Ramesh suggests that Kamala get an education. After allaying her apprehension regarding her age he admits her in a girl’s boarding school. Akshay’s sister also studies in the same school and through her Akshay gets to know the truth about Ramesh’s marriage. In the evening he questions Ramesh in front of Hemnalini. Ramesh deflects the question and asks Hem to trust him. Preparations are on at Annada’s house for the wedding of Hemnalini and Ramesh. Their wedding is set for the coming Sunday but Ramesh is asked by the principal to take Kamala home for the weekend. Ramesh postpones the wedding and brings Kamala back from school. Akshay brings Jogen to Ramesh’s house where they see Kamala and on being questioned Ramesh keeps silent. Hemnalini goes into a state of shock when she’s told about Ramesh’s wife.
Her father takes her to Kashi to recuperate. Ramesh decides to leave Calcutta and he takes Kamala with him to Ghazipur. Kamala reads the letter Ramesh has written to Hem explaining the entire situation and mentioning Kamala’s husband’s name. She finally recognizes the truth about her and Ramesh’s situation. She decides to kill herself and leaves the house. She is rescued and comes under Nalin’s mother’s care.
She realizes that Nalin is her husband but finds out that Hemnalini and he are to be betrothed. However, Nalin is not happy about the betrothal as he refuses to believe that Kamala is dead and wants to wait a while longer. Finally the truth comes out and she’s accepted by her husband and his mother while Ramesh and Hemnalini get back together.
The movie had eight songs in it. There are missing details in some of the songs as mentioned above. But by now we have been able to fill up all the missing details.
Here are the details of the songs (including missing details) contained in the movie:-
| SNo in HFGK | Song Title | Singer/s | Lyrics | Posted On | Record number | Remarks |

| 08 | Main kiski laaj nibhaaun | Parul Ghosh | Aarzoo Lucknowi | Song under discussion | HMV N 35040 | All details available |
It can be observed from the above that Geeta Dutt (who is uncredited in HFGK for this movie) sings for one leading lady and Parul Ghosh for the other leading lady in the movie.
Here is the eighth and final song from “Milan”(1946) to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Parul Ghosh. Aarzoo Lucknowi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Video of the song is available. Prakashchandra, who sent me the lyrics of the song, guesses that the lady lip syncing the song is Meera Mishra. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song as well as other songs that we can update the details about the picturisation of all the songs of this movie.
PS-Sadanand Kamath jee informs that all Parul Ghosh songs, including this one, are lip synced by Ranjana in the movie.
With this song, all the songs of “Milan” (1946) are covered in the blog. The song thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

During 1930s and 1940s, when India was a desperately poor country, literacy level was very low. Even males were largely unlettered. The less said about the literacy of women, the better. So under those circumstances, an educated woman, who was also a workng woman, was a source of great curiousity among common folk. One can imagine how it must be like in 1940s. Basic literacy is one thing. To become educated in the medical field was obviously way tougher.
In 1940s, we had quite a few titles about medical profession. Not just male professionals, but even females.
“Doctor”(1941) was a well known movie of those days Pankaj Mullick played the title role there. How can women be behind. Soon we found titles like “Nurse”(1943) and “Lady Doctor” (1944). “Lady Doctor”(1944, as the name suggests, was supposedly about a Lady who pursues medical profession.
When we look at the songs of these movies, we cannot find any songs dealing with the profession. The lead actor playing the title role would hardly be shown practicing as a medical professional. Most of the time he would be romancing and singing relevant songs dealing with various feelings associated with the process. We would have songs dealing with separation, sadness, looking forward to the arrival of beloved, sense of betrayal etc.
In other words, No matter what the genre, be it religious, stunt, social, fantasy, war, mystery, the movie would get reduced to a love story. 🙂
“Lady Doctor”(1944) was directed by Wali Sahab for Venus Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Mumtaz Shanti, Maya Banerji, Nandrekar, David, Premi, Rafiq, Master Anil, Ulhas, Mubarak, Kesari, Jamshed Ji, Sajjan, Anwari Bai, Sulochana Chatterji etc in it.
There were ten songs in this movie according to HFGK, but the name of the singers are not available for any of these songs. For that matter, even the name of the music director is not known.
Matters changed after the first song from this movie was covered in the blog in 2016.
Initially I had discussed a song that had the same first line as the song contained in HFGK entry for this movie viz:- Aankh milne ka bahaana ho gaya. It turned out that the uploader had mistaken a song with the same first line to be a song from “Lady Doctor”(1944). In reality, that song, sung by Naseem Akhtar was from some other movie. The actual song from “Lady Doctor”(1944), with same mukhda was then incorporated in the writeup. Lots of research was carried out by stalwards like our own inhouse researchers like M/s Arunkumar Deshmukh, Sadanand Kamath and Harish Raghuwanshi. Their research threw up informations that were not there in HFGK. It turned out that “Lady Doctor”(1943) actually had music by Anil Biswas, even though this movie was missing from Anil Biswas filmography prepared by many music lovers. Also, the voices contained in the actual song that was discussed were that of Hamida Bano and Snehal Bhatkar.
Likewise, names of singers for other songs that had become available were also identified. The amount of research that got triggered after that one post was quite staggering, to put it mildly. I thank all our musical stalwarts for their yeoman service rendered in the cause of HFM.
Here is the second song from “Lady Doctor”(1944). This song, like the first song, is more like a love song than a song about the medical profession. 🙂 The song is sung by Parul Ghosh. Wali Sahab is the lyricist. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Song-Kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya (Lady Doctor)(1944) Singer-Parul Ghosh, Lyrics-Wali Sahab, MD-Anil Biswas
Lyrics
kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya
kuch aag laga ke chhod diya
ye kis zaaalim ki mahobbat ne
ye kis zaalim ki mahobbat ne
toofaan mein laa ke chhod diya
kuchh apna bana ke
pahle to nazar ke saaghar mein
halki si gulaabi mai bhar di
pahle to nazar ke saaghar mein
halki si gulaabi mai bhar di
aur honthon se ungli ko rakh kar
aur honthon se ungali ko rakh kar
peene ke liye phir na karti
bedard ne kis bedardi se
bedard ne kis bedardi se
saaghar ko dikha kre chhod diya
kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya
kuchh aag laga ke
deepak ne sikhaaya thha mujhko
main haule haule jalti thi
deepak ne sikhaaya thha mujhko
main haule haule jalti thi
ik aag daba kar seene mein
ik aag daba kar seene mein
main karwat tak na badalti thhi
par ik aansu ne aankh se gir kar
ik aansn ne aankh se gir kar
dil ka chhaala phod diya
kuchh apna bana ke chhod diya
kuchh aag laga ke

Lyrics(Provided by Prakashchandra)
Kabhi tarsi hui aankhon ki hasrat
chhup nahin sakti
parakhne waali nazron se
haqeeqat chhup nahin sakti
chhupaao laakh pardon mein
muhabbat chhup nahin sakti
chhupaao laakh pardon mein
muhabbat chhup nahin sakti
zamaana chaahe jitni door
pahuncha de
juda kar keh
muqaddar bhi ??
jitni hi deewaaren khadi kar de
samaai ho jo aankhon mein
wo soorat chhup nahin sakti
samaai ho jo aankhon mein
wo soorat chhup nahin sakti
jo dil mein ho shuru se hai
shikan aati hai maathhe par
banaawat ki hai ??
?? ne keemat ??
kisi soorat tadapte dil ki haalat
chhup nahin sakti
kisi soorat tadapte dil ki haalat
chhup nahin sakti
na kat’te aankh mein ??
?? lagaawat mein
kali daali mein ho
?? khushboo ??
chaar gulshan mein
adaawat chhup bhi sakti hai
muhabbat chhup nahin sakti
adaawat chhup bhi sakti hai
muhabbat chhup nahin sakti
Tum hi sab kuchh ho meri maa

Today’s song is from the film Devadasi-1945.
The custom of Devdasi has been in India since the 6th Century. Devdasi means- a female artiste dedicated to the worship and service of God in Temples or a Deity for life. She is said to be married to God. (sounds similar to Nuns in Christian Churches, who are also supposed to be married to God). These Devdasis learned the art of dance and music. Initially their status in the society was very high during the period from the 6th century to 13th century. Devdasis used to be quite rich too, due to large donations and gifts from the kings and the Royalties. However, later on Devdasis were used for personal purposes by the Nobles and the kings and their status became worse than prostitutes. They became poor and dependent on their patrons. They bore children too. Their daughters became traditionally Devdasis again.
The British brought the ” Devadasi protection Act” in 1934. However the Devdasis continued to be used unabated. The system continued like other social ills like Dowry system and Child marriage etc. After independence, all state governments made laws abolishing Devadasi custom, but even now – after 75 years of independence -this custom is followed in villages in some or the other form.
Unlike the other social ills, not many films were made on the plight of Devdasis. I found only 1 film -today’s film- on this subject. A film on similar subject was ” Jogan”-1950, but not on Devdasi custom. Pity that Indian filmmakers opted for several versions, in all Indian languages, to make films on Devdas, but none on Devdasis ! So much for Women’s Emancipation !
Film Devadasi-45 was made by New Maharashtra Productions. It was directed by C.S.Bose and the music was by the first blind composer-K.C.Dey. The 11 songs were written by Narottam Vyas. Except prithviraj Kapoor, majority of the cast and singers were Bangla artistes. The other cast members were Monica Desai, K C Dey, Vikram Kapoor, Suman, Kamla, Dar Kashmiri, Prasannat Kumar etc.etc.
The heroine Monica Desai (sister of actress Leela Desai) was talented and an interesting person. Her entry into Bombay’s Hindi films, courtesy Kidar Sharma, was sensational but strange enough to put the owners of Ranjit and her Mentor Kidar kapoor on the edge of anxiety !. It so happened that…..
For film Gauri-1943 Kidar Sharma insisted to Ranjit owners that the Hero’s role of Khumar- the Idol Maker be done only by his friend Prithviraj kapoor. His name was of course agreed upon. However, Goharbai queried as to who Sharma had in his mind to do the sensitive Heroine’s role. Sharma ji replied that he needed someone who looked fresh and innocent. He asked for some time. Actually he had thought of Monica Desai- the younger sister of famous actress Leela Desai. Monica worked as a school teacher in Calcutta. She had done a small role in his film ‘ Chitralekha’-41. In those days Sharma was impressed with her and had assured her that when he gets stabilised as a Director and has a suitable script, he will give Heroine’s role to Monica.
Next day, Sharma ji told Chandulal Shah about her selection. Chandulal had confidence in his judgement. The big hearted Shah gave Rs. 5000/- to Sharma to send to Monica for coming to Bombay comfortably in First Class. Kidar Sharma sent the money to her and asked her to travel only by First class to Bombay, to get down at Dadar, keep the luggage in Cloak room and freshen up in the waiting room. She was asked to wear a silk saree also. Sharma asked her if she understood all the instructions and she confirmed. She was to visit Ranjit Studios at 2.30pm, when Sharma would introduce her to Sethji.
On the afternoon of her arrival day, the Shah couple and others waited anxiously for Monica’s arrival. In the afternoon, Monica arrived at the gates of the studio looking tired and untidy, along with all her luggage. Seeing her, Chandulal became nervous, but asked Sharma ji to arrange for her stay and food etc. Chandulal Shah was not only upset with Monica’s looks but also annoyed. Still without commenting, he left the studio immediately with Goharbai. Sharma as well as Prithviraj felt humiliated with the foolish Monica who came to the studio, not following Sharma’s instructions. This she did to save some money, but put everyone in an awkward situation. Anyway, Sharma made her staying etc arrangements.
Next day, Chandulal called him to his office and said that he will continue making film Gauri, as promised, but he will not participate in any shootings, recordings or other matters till the film is completed. He will, however, see the finished movie before it goes to Censors. It was too obvious that both the Shahs were upset about the ordinary looking and childish, immature Monica as Heroine.
Kidar Sharma gulped all this quietly and started work on the film quickly. The team went to Calcutta also and came back. When the film was completed, Sharma invited Chandulal and Goharbai to see it. Actually whenever such a preview was done all other Directors of Ranjit also attended it, but this time there were only the two of them-Chandulal and Goharbai. The entire team of the film was also present. Sharma had known that when Chandulal did not like the film, he usually abused loudly and sometimes even threw his chappals at the screen. With bated breath, Sharma showed him the film Gauri and waited for his reactions, expecting fireworks. Instead, Chandulal and Goharbai left the room and went to their office. Everyone,including Sharma was sure that Sharma has to leave the company now.
With great courage, Sharma went to their office to know their opinions. To his great surprise, Chandulal dug into his pocket and removed whatever money was there and gifted it to Sharma. He said,” this is my gift to you for making a sublime movie.” Gohar too appreciated it heartily. Both of them were spellbound with Monica’s performance. Shah offered Monica a 3 year contract, furnished house and a new car with a driver etc. Shah also increased Sharma’s salary to Rs.5500/pm.
Thus Monica Desai’s first film was a great success. ” GAURI” was a winner. Kidar Sharma was the winner.
One film old Heroine Monica Desai- was called from Calcutta by Kidar Sharma. He knew her well earlier,from Calcutta.
Monica Desai was a famous Indian actress during the 1930’s and 40’s. She was the daughter of Dr. Umedram Lalbhai Desai and Satyabhama Devi, a well-known musician of the early 20th Century. Her father was a Gujarati, and her mother hailed from Bihar. Her father who was a reputed Doctor of that period died in the year 1930.
Monica Desai first worked for Bangla movie ‘Nimai Sanyasi’ which was released in the year 1940. She was an actress who represented the era of upcoming character actresses like Leela Mishra, Ram Dulari, who made debut along with her and later ruled the Indian screen.
Monica Desai acted under the direction of Phani Majumdar and Kidar Nath Sharma. She did not concentrate much on acting as she got married to Phani Majumdar, a pioneering Indian film director, who worked in Hindi cinema. Phani Majumdar is known for Meena Kumari’s classic films ‘Aarti’ (1962) and ‘Oonche Log’ (1965). Monica Desai had a sister named Leela Desai, who was a renowned actress in Hindi and Bengali cinema. Leela Desai has even acted in the film ‘Kapal Kundala’ (1939) directed by Phani Majumdar. After completion of the venture, Phani Majumdar married Monica Desai.
Monica acted with Prithviraj Kapoor in her career, in the film Gauri. ‘Gauri’ was an Indian Bollywood film that was the seventh highest grossing Indian film of 1943 and this established Monica Desai as an actress. Later, she featured in a film ‘Devdasi’ as a heroine that was also among the top seven grossing films at the Indian box office in 1945. She appeared in the film ‘Chitralekha’ which was the second-highest grossing Indian film of 1941, in this movie, she portrayed the character of Yashodhara.
This film also was a debut film for actor Bharat Bhushan, who later achieved fame with ‘Baiju Bawra’ (1952). Monica Desai had also acted with a legendary actor and singer K. L Saigal.
Monica worked in only 9 Hindi films- Qaidi-40, Chitralekha-41, Bhakta Surdas-42, Gauri-43, Bhanwara-44, Lakharani-45, Devdasi-45, Rangeen Zamana-48 and Vikram Shashikala-49.
One name Dar Kashmiri appears in the cast. He was the eldest brother of actor Jeevan (Narad roles and later on comic villain roles). When Jeevan came to Bombay he was called O.K.Dar. Since some confusion arose between these names, here is the explanation to clarify. Om Prakash Dar was born into a large family, he had 23 siblings. His grandfather was the Governor of Gilgit in Gilgit-Baltistan. He lost his father when the youngest- Jeevan- was 3 years old and his mother died at childbirth. Being the eldest,he came to Bombay in search of jobs and entered films. Instead of his original long name,he was called Dar Kashmiri.
Actually, When Jeevan came to Bombay in search of film roles, Om Prakash Dar aka Dar kashmiri, his elder brother, was already working in films. Jeevan appeared for the first time in Fashionable India-35. Since his name was Onkar nath, he was billed as O.K.Dar (and not Dar kashmiri-please note).
His elder brother Dar Kashmiri worked in some films like –
Noor Mahal-34, Watan parast-34, yaad rahe-40, Abla-41, Saugandh-42, Angoori-43, Naya Tarana-43, Devdasi-45, Room No.9-46, Hua savera-48, Kundan-55 and Ayodhyapati-56. and many other films. Every film, he was billed as Dar Kashmiri only.
Jeevan was billed as O.K.Dar (Jeevan) from film Romantic India-36 onwards and then on as Jeevan only-except still a few films where he was billed as O.K.Dar(Jeevan).
In the film Patit pawan-1955, both brothers acted and they were individually billed as Jeewan and Dar Kashmiri. This settles their name issue completely.
Here is the second song from the film Devadasi-45, sung by Parul Ghosh.
