#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1973-17)
——————————————-———————————————
(A tribute to Music Composer Ravi on his birth anniversary)
———————————————————————-
With this post we introduce the movie ‘Sone Ke Haath-1973’ on the blog. This is another movie from the year ‘1973’ that was so far missing from the blog.
“Sone Ke Haath-1973” was directed by P.D. Shenoy for ‘Vindhyachal Movies’.
It was produced by R.K. Soral.
It had Sanjay, Babita, Faryal, Amrish Puri, Durga Khote, Sulochana, Jankidas, Hari Shivdasani, B.B. Bhalla, with Mona, Majnu, Vedpal Varma, Lotan, Jugnu Jain, S.N. Mishra, Prahlad Munshi, Sheru, Ramfunny, Polson and Om Prakash and others.
Vijayita, Pinchoo Kapoor, Kailash Sharma, Dr. Purswani, Shakeel, Chander Bhasin, and Arpana Choudhary had friendly appearance in this movie.
The story idea of this movie was by R.K. Soral and dialogues of this movie were written by S.P. Bakshi.
P.D. Shenoy who directed this movie who also wrote the screenplay for this movie.
Editing of this movie was done by Baburao Barodkar.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 20.11.1973.
“Sone Ke Haath-1973” has four songs which are written by Rajinder Krishan and the music is composed by Ravi. The titles of this movie mentioned Asha Bhonsle and Usha Khanna as the playback singers for this movie.
If you want to know about the movie in a very short note here it is:-
The movie starts with actor Sanjay’s face on the screen and a voice (I am unable to identify) saying the following lines in the background …
“ye kahaani ghareebi aur anyaay ke aag se dahakte aaj ke ek naujawaan ki kahaani hai. Ye samaaj ke bhrashtaachaar se jakde huye aaj ke zameer ki kahaani hai” ….
I have neither watched this movie and nor do I have any recollections of reading about this movie or its songs during my growing years. When I went through the list of songs of this movie I failed to notice any familar song, except the one being covered in this post. After reading the lines of this song I was reminded of this song but I thought this was a well known song (it was frequently heard on radio in those years) so this must be some other song. However it turned out to be the same song. So I was surprised that such a well known song of its time was not posted on the blog till now.
Today’s song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. (Initially I had planned to take anoother song of this movie, but some information needs to be confirmed about that song).
Babita is lip-syncing in Asha Bhonsle’s voice on the screen and performing on this well-known song (?) where in Babita plays a ‘phool bechnewaali ladki’ and she is selling ‘champaa-chameli’ in this song. 🙂
Also seen in the picturisation of this song are Sulochana, Jankidas, Polson (those I can identify) and others (whom I am unable to identify) and many others.
Today 3rd March’2023 is the ninety-seventh birth anniversary of the great music composer Ravi Shankar Sharma who is known to us by the name of Ravi.
He was born on 3rd March’1926 and he passed away on 7th March’2012 leaving behind a treasure of his immortal, unforgettable and iconic songs that he composed for Hindi Film Music.
On this occasion we pay him our tributes and listen to this song composed by him.
We welcome this movie ‘Sone Ke Haath-1973’ on the blog with this song.
Let us listen to this sweet wonderful song composed fifty years ago ….

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
‘Bachpan’ was directed by K.P. Atma for ‘Atma Arts Universal, Bombay’. K.P. Atma co-produced this movie with K.H. Rao.
It had Sanjeev Kumar, Master Sachin, Junior Mehmood, Shahid, Anwar Hussain, Mukri, Sunder, Joginder, Baldev Mehta, Keshto Mukherji, Aruna Irani, Sulochana Chatterjee, Tabassum, Pratima Devi, Baby Gayatri, Baby Guddi, Master Alankar, Naeem and Tanuja.
Story of this movie was written by K.P. Atma. Screenplay and dialogues were written by Raj Baldev Raj. Editing of this movie was done by Shivaji Awdhut.
This movie had made its debut on the blog on 30.08.2010 with its most well-known song Aaya re khilaune waala. I still remember that in my childhood days I used to think that this song and the song ‘chandaa ko dhhonndhhne sabhi taare nikaal pade’ were from the same film. May be there is something common in them as they come from the same composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
I had earlier presented a song from this movie ‘Bachpan-1970’ in May ‘2021 which was a song for Junior Mehmood, Sachin and other child artistes in this movie.
I had not watched this movie then but I always wish to watch it. Also before this song in May’2021 one other song from this movie was presented under ‘blog ten-year challenge’ on 30.08.2020, so I always want to see this movie gets covered with all its song. And since I have also not watched this movie I want to watch it too. (While presenting the first song from this movie on the blog Atul ji also mentioned that if reader has watched this movie should mention about the idea of this movie here).
Recently I watched this movie and I like it very much and enjoyed it a lot. The plot of the movie is good and it keeps one engaged till the end. So even if you are watching it on TV at home you do not get bored.
The sub-plots of this movie have well interwoven with the main plot of this movie seamlessly. The songs also help the story to move and do not make any hindrance to it.
So here is a brief about this movie.
As the title of this movie ‘Bachpan’ suggests it is the story of three childhood friends played by Sachin, Junior Mehmood and Shahid (or Naeem? I am unable to identify him). In the movie they play Ram, Rahim and Tom respectively.
Sachin’s father has been killed by Anwar Hussain who is an active ‘smuggler’ and runs a ‘sharaab ka thhekaa’ to hide the smuggling activities. Ram is being taken care by his aunt (Sulochana Chatterjee) who is Nekiram’s (Anwar Hussain) sister. But she hates him due to his ‘crime’ and tries to keep Ram safe from him. Nekiram has also got hold of one ‘puraani haveli’ which he rumoured people that it is a ‘haunted one’ but stores his smuggled goods there.
Rahim (Junior Mehmood) lives with his father who is taangawaala (Mukri). Mukri is a habitual drinker and a regular feature at Nekiram’s ‘thhekaa’ where he also used to play gambling and keep losing every time there. Once, when he loses everything he puts his horse on stake and loses it too. Which he regrets later and do real ‘mehnat’ to pay the debt and bring him back again.
Tom’s parents are Keshto Mukherjee (a lawyer, whose importance is realised in the end of the movie) and Tabassum (obsessed with her figure to contest Miss India and Miss Universe). Tom has a unhappy childhood since his parents always have issues between them and specially his mother never taking care of him.
Ram, Rahim and Tom learn together in a same school where Sundar is their teacher and here we get some comic relief in between as the children often doing lot of ‘pranks’.
Lajjo (Tanuja) lives with her Mom (Pratima Devi) and is ‘flower seller’ (phoolwaali). She sells flowers for offering to god even if somebody doesn’t pay her. But if you pay her and still want to carry the flowers for a ‘other woman’ she will not give that at any cost
Now we come to the hero of this movie i.e. Sanjeev Kumar-Kashi. Kashi is a ‘toy-seller’ having two kids-master Alankar and Baby Guddi (I guess)). Geeta Siddharth plays Kashi’s wife. They are happy family where Kashi do his ‘toy-selling’ and singing ‘aaya re khilaunewaala’ till tragedy struck them. It so happens, that Kashi’s father in law is serious and his wife and children have to travel by boat to see him. But the boat gets drowned in the ‘vortex’ of the river water and all of them are lost forever.
After this incident Kashi drink severy evening in the ‘gham’ of ‘their memories’…
Ram, Rahim and Tom love their Kashi Chacha and they request Lajjo to give them a child for Kashi Chacha so that he will overcome his sorrow, unaware of how a child is born. Lajjo too has a soft corner for Kashi.
And now the turning point, Kundan -Joginder (Shelly) is a side-kick of Nekiram (Anwar Hussain) and often has a fight with him over his ‘hissaa’ from the earnings which Nekiram always try to avoid discussing and paying.
Nekiram want to get rid of Kundan so he had a plan. Aruna Irani gets an opportunity here and she performs a dance at Nekiram’s ‘thhekaa’. Kundan already getting intoxicated by then. Taking advantage of Kundan’s condition Nekiram took him to ‘bhutiya mahal’ and kills him in the fields nearby. Hearing the noise around Kashi goes there and falls upon Kundan’s body with his shirt getting soaked with blood of Kundan…
Kashi is arrested, as just days before Kundan’s murder he has threatened Kundan to kill him when he had tried to molest Lajjo.
So, everything in place for Nekiram to frame Kashi in the murder of Kundan…
But, the three boys are the eye-witnesses for Nekiram murdering Kundan and they take help of Tom’s father Keshto Mukherjee who is a lawyer and inform police about Nekiram. Nekiram’s sister also comes to court and tell the court about Nekiram killing Ram’s father. Knowing this Ram wants to take revenge and follows Nekiram who is trying to leave the place…
Finally everything gets settled and the boys and their friends get Kashi and Lajjo married …
dekho maine gudde ki
shaadi hai rachaayi…
meri pyaari gudiyaa ki
baaraat hai aayi
***
This movie had total six songs which were written by Anand Bakshi and composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
So far, four songs from this movie have already been posted on the blog. Today we present the ‘penultimate song’ from this movie. This song is the first song appearing in the movie.
Sanjeev Kumar lip-syncs in Kishore Kumar’s voice in this song introduces him to the audience as well as the children in the school…
We can see our three main child artistes and others in the picturisation of this song. This song is a nice hummable song.
Let us now enjoy the song …

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
Today’s song is from the movie “Saara Jahaan Hamaara-1961”.
Three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog earlier. I do not remember to have heard the song associated with this movie name earlier. I had not read also about this movie earlier till the preparation of this post.
“Saara Jahaan Hamaara-1961” was directed by Prakash Chhabra for ‘India Films’.
It had Premnath, Shyama, Heeralal, Rajeshwari, Azra, Jankidas, Majnu, Ajay Kumar and others.
Here is brief information about this movie provided by Shri Arunkumar ji in his comments on a song from this movie posted on the blog earlier.
SARA JAHAN HAMARA-1961 was a film when Premnath as a hero was becoming a misfit, due to his age. As such he had started accepting some character roles also.
An India Films movie, it was directed by Prakash Chhabda, who had earlier directed one flop film Shahzada in 1955.The music was by Babul(of the Bipin-Babul jodi) and the lyrics were by Anjum Jaipuri and Kaamil Chandpuri.Mangal (Premnath) is a deadly criminal. When he comes, even the police are afraid. An orphan, Vagabond and gunda mangal is a Terror. But this same Mangal is very kind to the poor, helpless and orphans. He gives free foods and medicines to the needy. He is treated like God by the downtrodden people.
he accidentally comes to know about a sex racket, in which the main criminal head of the Racket’Seth ji'(Heeralal) trades poor good-looking girls who are helpless.A chance meeting with Rama(Shyama),and he comes to know of a plan to deport few girls to dubai for immoral purpose. Seth ji also tries his hand at one of the girls when mangal appears there and kills him, setting the girls free. Chhabili, Katari and other girls call him their brother. But the ruthless police arrest him, make a case and send him to 7 yrs’ jail.
When he comes out he is welcomed with flowers and Rama is still waiting for him.
Premnath preferred roles which were like Robin Hood. He enjoyed such roles.
“Saara Jahaan Hamaara-1961” has seven songs. Four of them were written by Anjum Jaipuri and one by Kaamil Chaandpuri. Lyricist name for one song is not mentioned in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970).
Going through the song-titles doesn’t ring any bell for me. I only find one song a little familiar one which is ‘ye phoolon ka gajraa, ye mera singaar’. However it seems that all the other songs of this movie are ‘new’ to me.
Here is the list of songs of this movie:-
| SNo | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Haaye main mar gayin | Khawar Zamaan | Sudha Malhotra | |
| 02 | Yahaan jo jhhoothh bolega wahi noton se khelega | Not mentioned | Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi | |
| 03 | Dil bechten hain, jigar bechten hain | Anjum Jaipuri | Shamshad Begam, Mahendra Kapoor, chorus | |
| 04 | Bhare hain aankh mein aansoo | Anjum Jaipuri | Asha Bhonsle, Mukesh | 29.02.2012 |
| 05 | Ye hain chaaku ye hai chhoori, ye hain kainchi | … Anjum Jaipuri | Asha Bhonsle | |
| 06 | Ye phoolon ka gajraa, ye mera singaar | Anjum Jaipuri | Suman Kalyanpur | 25.07.2013 |
| 07 | Hai ye zameen hamaari wo aasmaan hamaaara | Kaamil Chaandpuri | Mukesh | 22.07.2020 |
As mentioned above three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog earlier.This song is the fourth song from this movie to be posted on the blog.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. The song is picturised on Shyama (I guess). This song seems to be picturised near ‘Bombay Chowpati’. I cannot say if I can call it as ‘sales-pitch’ song or not. (?)
Lyrics are by Anjum Jaipuri.
Music is composed by Babul.
Below is brief information about music director Babul shared by our respected Shri Arunkumar ji, in his comments on the same song mentioned earlier above.
Syed Maqbul Babul was an assistant to Madan Mohan for a long time. His speciality was making melodious tunes.
Independently, he gave music to 5 films-
Chalis din-59
Mujrim kaun khooni kaun-65
Reshmi Rumal-61
Nakli Nawab-62 and
Sara jahan hamara-61Many of his songs became famous,e.g. ‘ main deewaana mastana-Mukesh,40 din, Gardish mein ho taare-mukesh, reshmi Rumaal and ‘sarpe chunariya kaali motiyan wali’ etc.also ‘chheda jo dil ka tarana-rafi, Nakli Naqab.
He also acted as a Choreographer in the film ‘Ek baar muskura do’-1972.
After this he migrated to Pakistan and died there penniless in 1995.
He did a better and more fulfilling work as a jodi of Bipin-Babul.
Let us now listen to this song which is sung by Asha Bhonsle and is picturised on Shyama.
Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra.

Today (11 August 2022) is Rakshabandhan. This is the 15th Rakshabandhan for this blog. The first Rakshabandhan for the blog fell on 16 August 2008. That day saw the iconic Rakshabandhan song namely Bhaiyya mere raakhi ke bandhan ko nibhaana (Chhoti Bahan)(1959) getting covered on the blog.
On those early days, only one song was discussed in a day. Subsequently multiple songs began to be covered daily. Festival days were no exception. So more than one Rakshabandhan songs were also discussed in the subsequent occasions.
Till now as many as 24 Rakshabandhan songs have been covered on the blog. Most of these songs (if not all) are sung in the female voice and lip synced by a female character playing the Rakhi tying sister.
The Rakshabandhan song under discussion today is different in quite a few respects. It is sung by a male singer. It is a “sales pitch” song where Rakhi is being sold. The song is sung by Amit Kumar (though HFGK is silent about the name of the singer). It is picturised on Vinod Khanna disguised as an old Rakhi seller. So this song is a “disguise” song as well. Rakesh Roshan and Pradeep Kumar are also seen in the picturisation.
This song is from ‘Hatyaara’ (1977). The movie was produced by Sunil Sharma and JR Shah and directed by Surendra Mohan for Sunil Arts, Bombay. The movie had Vinod Khanna, Moushumi Chatterjee, Rakesh Roshan, Priyadarshini, Nirupa Roy, Pran, Dev Kumar, Man Mohan, Kanahiyalal, Raj Mehra, Chand Usmani, Abhi Bhattacharya, Sunder, Gulshan Bawra, Sahu Modak, Johny Whisky, Sabeena, Shyam, Shefali, Rajkumar, Premji, Bihari, Moolchand, Hamid, Raj Malhotra, Rajkishore, Nazir Kashmiri, Omi, Harun Khan, CL Shah, Jugnu, Kedarnath Sehgal, Chandrima Bhaduri, Baby Prerna, Master Bittu, Master Raju, Master Rajesh Valecha etc. The movie also had guest appearances by Pradeep Kumar, Laxmi Chhaaya and Mehmood.
The movie had five songs in it. One song has been covered so far.
Here is this second song from ‘Hatyaara’ (1977). The movie had three lyricists in it but the lyricist of this song is no known. This song only appears in the movie. Its records were not made. Music direction was by Kalyanji Anandji.

#The Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # # A tribute to lyricist Verma Malik#
————————————
Today 15th March’2022 is the thirteenth Remembrance anniversary of lyricist Verma Malik (13 April 1925 – 15 March 2009).
As a tribute to him here is a song from the ‘1972’ movie ‘Be-imaan’. All songs for this movie were written by Verma Malik.
For today’s presentation I was looking for a song specially from the seventies and the year ‘1972’, as we are already celebrating ‘fifty’ years of the year ‘1972’.
‘Be-imaan’ had all the songs penned by Verma Malik and had also brought him his second ‘Filmfare’ award too.
Secondly, other than its songs the movie was also the most ‘controversial’ movie of that year because of the way it was adjusted the winner of best movie award at the filmfare awards function at the expense of other more desrving movies.
“Beimaan-1972” was directed by Sohan Lal Kanwar for his home productions ‘Filmnagar, Bombay’.
It had Manoj Kumar, Rakhi, Nazeema, Snehlata, Prem Chopra, Prem Nath, Pran, Murad, Sulochana, Raj Mehra, Brahm Bharadwaj, Gulshan Bawra, Rajpal, Sahbeena, Dulari, Sudarshan Sethi, Aarti, Vishal Dutt, O.P. Kohli, Tun Tun, V. Gopal, Rajrani, Sheikh, Ravi Thakur, Kamaldeep, Lata Bose, Kedar Sehgal, Deepak, Sikander Lamba, Parvez, Ayyub, Shankar, Ramesh, Khodu Baba, Mustafa, Uma, Neeta, and others.
(HFGK Vol-V (1971-981) mentions 05.06.1972 as the date of certification by Censor Board of this movie. However, the version of this movie available on internet mentions 28.11.1972 as the certification date by Censor Board.)
“Beimaan” had seven songs written by Vermal Malik and composed to music by Shankar-Jaikishan.
Following is the list of songs of this movie as given in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980).
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Na izzat ki chinta…jai bolo beimaan ki | Mukesh, chorus | 07.02.2013 |
| 02 | Ye raakhi bandhan hai aisa | Lata, Mukesh | 24.08.2010 |
| 03 | Neela neela kurta, chudidar pajama | Mahendra Kapoor, Asha Bhonsle, Chorus | |
| 04 | Chali saj ke hai dil ko mila ke | Sharda, Asha Bhonsle, chorus | |
| 05 | Dekho ji raat ko zulam ho gaya | Asha Bhonsle | 23.09.2016 |
| 06 | Bam ragad… ham do mast malang pilaayen bhar bhar thhande jaam | Kishore Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor | Being discussed today |
| 07 | Kitni kism ki beimaani… jai bolo beimaan ki | Mukesh | 07.02.2013 |
The title song of this movie ‘Jai bolo beimaan ki’ stood sixth in the annual ‘Binaca Geetmala’ list of 1972. Other than this the ‘raakhi’ song of the movie was also a very popular song.
I had a big nostalgia of the songs of this movie because one of my uncles had brought the Record Player and he had a LP record of this movie songs. When I started my own music collection, I had a big attraction for the songs of this movie and the other Manoj Kumar movie ‘Pehchaan-1970’. Audio cassettes were generally available for ‘Pehchaan-Beimaan’ songs in one cassette.
I think the songs of ‘Pehchaan-1970’ were also very popular and heard frequently on ‘Radio’ then. My Uncles used to remind me of the ‘ye gangaram ki samajh’ song every time during a family ‘get-together’. They said that they used to tease me with this song when I was a child and was ‘quite’ a healthy child 😊 (I don’t know why I used to be annoyed then on people calling me ‘Gangaram’ 😊)
Coming back to today’s song from ‘Beimaan-1972’, the picturisation shows Pran and Manoj Kumar lip-sync the song in the voices of Kishore Kumar and Mahendra Kapoor respectively.
The situation and context of the song is anybody’s guess.
Other than Manoj Kumar and Pran, the picturisation shows one actress whom I am unable to identif. Many other artists are visible in the picturisation of this song.
Let us now listen to today’s entertaining song and pay our tributes to lyricist Verma Malik.
This song also reminds me another song of Manoj Kumar-Pran ‘jodi’ in the similar situations in the movie ‘Dus Numberi’ and the song is ‘na tum ho yaar aalu naa ham hai yaar gobhi’ .

Today we have a 2-part song from the film Guzara-1954.
The film was made by Aina pictures-owned by S.M.Yusuf. The film was produced and directed by S.M.Yusuf himself. he also did a small role in this film- the only film role he ever did in his film career. There were 3 lyricists- Raja Mehdi Ali Khan (5 songs), Fauk Jami (2 songs) and Munir Lucknowi (1 song) for the film’s 8 songs. Music Director was Ghulam Mohammad.
I have not seen this film. However, from what I have learnt about the film from various sources is that , the film was based on the life of a middle class family who finds it difficult to run the family in the limited income that the family had. The story concluded that mental happiness with our own people is the greatest happiness compared to rich living ! A typical Nehruvian philosophy- very popular in those times. Even big filmmakers like Mehboob Khan were also sold on this ideology. These were the days of rationing and shortages, increasing corruption and black marketing. The common man was broken in pieces but was fed the socialistic wine to keep him quiet !
The cast of the film was Karan Dewan, Paro, Jabeen jalil, Chand Burke, Baby Naaz, Romi, Tiwari, Balam and many others. This was the film in which actress Jabeen Jalil made her Debut.
In the early days of cinema, people joined the film industry for various reasons like…
1) joining filmline did not need any special skill
2) language, religion, education was not a consideration
3) need to earn
4) readiness to do any work
As the Talkie film era started, the requirements changed. For acting, one needed the ability to speak Hindi/Urdu fluently. A reasonably good looking personality and knowledge of singing were additional qualifications. For other technical departments, readiness to do hard work and a will to learn were required. During this phase many girls from singing families (read Tawaifs) were preferred and for them entry into films was easier compared to others. Many girls joined the filmline to get a good husband and settle as a housewife with dignity. Thus many Gujarati Sethiyas married actresses.
There was a very small but distinct category of artistes, who joined films as a “time pass’ or a passion for a short period. These artistes had no intention to continue in the film line.Their interests were varied and different from only doing work in films. included in this category were Classical singers like Manik Varma, Hirabai badodekar, Ram Marathe, Phiroz Dastoor, actresses like Shakuntala Paranjpye, Vasanti, Renuka Devi etc, writers like Dewan Sharar, Lyricists like Moti,B.A., MD like Mukund Rai Trivedi, actors like Kaycee Mehra, Shashi Kapoor Sr. etc, classical instrument players like Ravi Shankar, Pannalal Ghosh, Alla Rakha, Ali Akbar khan etc.
Nevertheless 99% of people joined because they needed to earn money. In the cast of today’s film Guzara-54, you see a name Jabeen Jalil. She is one such artiste who needed to earn money. Jabeen Jalil was a short petite but attractive actress.She was born on 1st April 1936 in Delhi, but was educated in Japan and Bombay, as her father was in foreign services of India.
She used to take part in college dramas and in one such drama the judges were Nigar Sultana and her director husband S.M.Yusuf. They offered her a film as a Heroine. Jabeen’s father had expired and only mother and younger brother were there. She accepted the offer. Her first film was Guzara in 1954. Her second film in 55 was Lutera. Her first hero was Karan Dewan and second was Nasir khan.
She became famous in New Delhi-56, in the role of Kishore’s sister Nikki’s role. She acted in 29 films, out of which 6 were unreleased. She also acted in 4 Punjabi films. She got a National award in 1962 for a Punjabi film in which her Hero was Prem Chopra.
She married Ashok Kak, a kashmiri Brahmin in 1968 and she did her last movie in 1974 Vachan. In 1989 they went to the US for 10 years and came back to Mumbai.Her son Divvij Kak is also an actor and Jabeen became a producer with Jabeen International.
She lives in Dadar, Mumbai nowadays.
Jabeen was a very short, thin and small frame girl. Some other actresses like her were Nimmi, Chand Usmani,and Smriti Biswas who all always looked like young girls.
The Hero of the film was Karan Dewan.
In Hindi films, there have been three actors who were very handsome and very lucky but zero in acting – Karan Dewan, Pradeep Kumar and Bharat Bhushan. They all appeared in leading roles opposite all leading actresses of their times. They had the best films, best songs and best roles. Karan Dewan had about 25 Silver Jubilees to his credit and was considered a lucky star. Bharat Bhushan had the most musical films to his credit like ‘Baiju Bawra’ (1952), ‘Shabaab’ (1954) and ‘Mirza Ghalib’ (1954) etc. Pradeep Kumar had ‘Anarkali’ (1953) and ‘Taj Mahal’ (1963).
All three had their brothers producing films for them. Gemini Dewan made films for Karan Dewan, R Chandra made films for Bharat Bhushan and Kalidas for Pradeep Kumar. Unfortunately, in later years, all three lost everything and died in poverty and neglectful anonymity. Karan Dewan was a manager with BR Chopra’s production company. When he died no one came for his funeral except for Chandrashekhar and Manmohan Krishan from the Cine Artists Association. Bharat Bhushan worked as a watchman in a film studio, in his last days. Even he died unsung and only the men from the Association were present at the cremation.
Pradeep Kumar’s case is the saddest. He lay seriously ill in the ICU of a Calcutta nursing home, abandoned by his relatives. The hospital was not discharging unless the bills were paid. Luckily one Mr. Pradeep Kondaliya, an estate agent, recognised him, despite his grown beard. He paid the huge outstanding bill of the hospital and took Pradeep Kumar to his home, where he passed away after a few days. He was cremated by his fan. Such is the film industry – cruel and ruthless, where the recognition lasts only till one is successful.
Dewan Karan Chopra aka Karan Dewan ( 6-11-1917 to 2-8-1979 ) youngest of three brothers, was born at Gujranwala, Punjab (now in Pakistan), British India. He studied in Lahore, where he became interested in Journalism and started editing a film magazine in Urdu, Jagat Lakshmi. One of the local distributors he met was Tarachand Barjatya, who was then the Manager of Chandanmal Inder Kumar’s distribution office at Lahore. Through his connection with Barjatya he landed in Calcutta, and in 1939, made his acting debut as Puran in the Punjabi feature film Puran Bhagat
Dewan started his film career with the role of Puran in Puran Bhagat in Punjabi in 1939 in Calcutta. It was produced by Raisaheb Sukhlal Karnani and directed by Roop K. Shorey’s father R. L. Shorey. His second film Mera Maahi (1941) was also a Punjabi film, directed by Shankar Mehta at Lahore and starring Ragini and Manorama. This was the movie in which he sang songs for the first time in the movies under the baton of legendary music director Shyam Sunder. Later, in Rattan, he sang for the first time in Hindi movies for Naushad. B R Chopra, then working as a film journalist in Lahore, helped Karan Dewan to get in touch with Devika Rani, who invited Dewan to come to Bombay. When this did not help Dewan get films, he taught “Urdu pronunciation to actors and actresses”.
In 1944, Karan Dewan acted in Rattan, a musical romantic drama, directed by M. Sadiq, which became one of the most popular films of that year. “A tremendous hit”, it paired Dewan with Swarnalata. His decisive film was Rattan (1944), which was produced by his brother Jaimini Diwan, and this movie turned out to be the biggest hit of 1944. He also sang songs in this movie under music director Naushad, and his song “Jab Tum Hi Chale Pardes” became popular. He sang in films such as Piya Ghar Aaja (1947), Mitti Ke Khiloune (1948) and Lahore (1949). His other important films were Zeenat (1945), Lahore (1949), Dahej (1950), Bahar (1951) and Teen Batti Char Rasta (1953). Known as a “jubilee star”, about twenty of his films are stated to have been jubilee (twenty-five weeks or more) hits.
Dewan married co-actress Manju in 1944 following the release of Rattan, in which she had a character role. By 1966, he was working as a casting agent for the film unit of Maya (1966). He continued to work in the 1960s and 1970s playing supporting parts in films such as Apna Ghar (1960), Shaheed(1965), Jeene Ki Raah (1969) and Nadaan (1971), with the last film in which he was credited, being Sohanlal Kanwar’s Atmaram (1979).
He worked in 73 films and sang 18 songs in 9 films. He worked with all leading actresses of his times,including Noorjehan and Nargis. At the end of his career, however, he was down financially and had to work as a Manager with B R Chopra’s company. When he died, except two workers of the Cine artistes association, no one else from the Film industry was present.
Today’s song is the 3rd song from the film Guzara-1954. In the part 2 song you will be surprised to hear the voice of Pt.Hridaynath Mangeshkar. It sounds just like a girl’s voice. I was confused but on inquiry, our Sadanand Kamath ji confirmed that the voice was that of Hridaynath only. Enjoy…

Leela Desai was one of the top actresses during 1937-47 both in Kolkata and Mumbai. There was a curiosity in me as to why she suddenly disappeared from the film industry after 1947 when her career was at the peak. Thereafter, she lived in almost obscurity. What is surprising about Leela Desai is that information about her date/year of birth, her marital status, what she did after she left the film industry and when she passed away are unknown or sketchy.
Leela Desai was the 4th of the 5 children born to Dr Umedram Desai from Gujarat and Satybala Devi, daughter of a Bengali landlord settled in Bihar. It was a second marriage for both of them as Satyabala Devi lost her husband during the childhood while Dr Umedram Desai got married to his first wife in his childhood through whom he had two sons. Later, Dr Umedram Desai married Gunobati Mitter, a Bengali Christian, for the third time with whom he had 6 children. Before her marriage, Gunobati Mitter worked as a tutor for the children of Dr Umedram Desai and Satyabala Devi in Rampur. So apart from her own 4 siblings, Leela Desai had 8 step brothers/sisters.
Leela Desai was born in Newark when her parents were in the USA for a 3-year stint. She was brought up in Rampur as her father, Dr Umedram Desai became the State Surgeon for the State of Rampur and the personal Physician to the Nawab of Rampur. At the age of six, Leela Desai was sent to Kolkata for her primary schooling and to Kurseong near Darjeeling from where she completed her Matric and Junior College. Thereafter, Leela Desai returned to Lucknow by which time her father had passed away in Mumbai. In Lucknow, she enrolled to learn Kathak from Shambu Maharaj. During her training, she gave a lot of charity dance performances and made a good name as a dancer.
Hemchandra Chunder, one of the film directors in New Theatres who was on a visit to Lucknow, attended one of Leela Desai’s dance performances. He was impressed by her dance performance with her expressive eyes. He offered her a role of a younger sister of Kamlesh Kumari in New Theatre’s ‘President’ (1937) in which she had also a dance performance. At first, she did not show much interest to work in the film. However, after few days when she watched New Theatres’ Krorepati’ (1936), she felt that she could act in the film. She wrote to Hemchandra Chunder about her willingness to work in the film. The fact that Hemchandra along with Nitin Bose rushed to Lucknow with a contract showed their eagerness to take Leela Desai for the film without the screen test.
‘President’ (1937) became a hit on the box office and Leela Desai’s performance in the film was appreciated so much that overnight she became the star. Under New Theatres’ banner, apart from ‘President’ (1937), she worked in ‘Vidyapati’ (1937), ‘Dushman’ (1938), Kapal Kundala’ (1939) and ‘Nartaki’ (1940). Except ‘Kaapal Kundala’, she also acted in Bangla versions of the films and had also dance performances in these films.
After ‘Nartaki’ (1940), Leela Desai left New Theatres and took a year-long all-India tour with her dance troupe which became very successful both in terms of recognition as a dancer as well as in monetary terms. After accepting the attractive offer from Chimanlal Trivedi of Laxmi Productions, she landed in Mumbai to act in their maiden film ‘Tamanna’ (1942). In Mumbai, though Leela Desai worked as a free-lance actor, she was associated with Laxmi Productions for ‘Inkaar’ (1943), ‘Sharaafat’ (1943), ‘Miss Devi’ (1944), ‘Kamala’ (1946), and ‘Maharani Milandevi’ (1946). She also worked with her New Theatres’ colleagues and directors in Mumbai such as Nitin Bose in ‘Paraaya Dhan’ (1943) and ‘Mujrim’ (1944), with Debaki Bose in ‘Meghdoot’ (1945) and with Kidar Sharma in ‘Kaliyaan’ (1944). In addition, she worked with veterans directors like Vishram Bedekar in ‘Nagad Narayan’ (1943), R S Chaudhary in ‘Magadraj’(1946) and with Ramchandra Thakur in ‘Geet Govind’ (1947).
During her short filmy career between 1937-47, Leela Desai worked in 22 films. After 1947, Leela Desai seems to have taken a ‘voluntary retirement’ from the film industry. Her only connection to filmy industry after 1947 was that her name appeared on the credit titles of Bimal Roy’s film, ‘Kabuliwala’ (1961) as Associate Producer. It is said that Leela Desai bought the rights of ‘Kabuliwaala’ (1961, Bangla) from Tapan Sinha with an intention to make the film in Hindi. However, later she sold the rights to Bimal Roy.
Leela Desai’s elder sister, Shanti Desai was married to Bratindranath Tagore, a nephew of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. Her younger sister, Monica Desai was also an actress in Bangla and Hindi films who got married to film director, Phani Majumdar in 1947.
As I said earlier, not much information about Leela Desai was available after she left the films. One of the commentators has mentioned on the facebook page that Leela Desai remained unmarried for rearing the children of her elder sister, Shanti who passed away at a young age. If it is true, it is a sacrificial act by her to leave the film industry and remain unmarried to take care of her elder sister’s children.
Another reference I got about Leela Desai after her leaving films was from an obituary of Sumita Sanyal written in 2017 by Shoma A Chatterji, a film scholar and a free-lance journalist. In this article, she has mentioned that Leela Desai was staying in Mumbai at her apartment in Worli Sea Face where she used to conduct acting classes for the prospective actors coming from Kolkata. One of such actors to whom she gave acting training was Sumita Sanyal. It is possible that Leela Desai may have recommended Sumita Sanyal to Hrishikesh Mukherjee for the film ‘Ashirwaad’ (1968).
As per the comment on Upperstall, written by Shoma A Chatterji in the context of yester year stars who passed away in oblivion, it was stated that Leela Desai passed away in Mumbai. But her date/year of death was not mentioned. She further stated that none of the newspapers and film magazines carried the news of her death.
Leela Desai who started her filmy career with her maiden film “president’ (1937) under the direction of Nitin Bose, got the opportunity to work under his direction in ‘Paraaya Dhan’ (1943) and ‘Mujrim’ (1944), later film being also produced by Nitin Bose under the banner of Vishnu Cinetone. The star cast included Motilal, Leela Desai, Jagdish Sethi, Yakub, Veena Kumari, Sunalini Devi, Cuckoo etc.
From a very short synopsis available on-line, the film was a ‘musical crime-thrilling family drama’. Motilal is a kind hearted person who meets Leela Desai and fall in love with her. Both of them want to marry each other but a villain, Yakub comes in the way as Leela Desai would inherit a lot of wealth if she gets married. So, Motilal is framed under a false murder case by Yakub. How the real culprit is traced and Motilal and Leela Desai get united, becomes the part of the thrilling end.
The film had 6 songs written by Kailash Matwala (4) and Rammurti Chaturvedi (2). The songs were set to music by Padmabhushan Pandit Jnan Prakash Ghosh, one of the greatest Tabla and Harmonium players.
I am presenting the first song ‘mori dukaniya aana baabu’ from ‘Mujrim’ (1944) to appear on the Blog. The song is rendered by Rajkumari Dubey on the words of Rammurti Chaturvedi. It is very melodious song with unusual orchestration. There is also some influence of Rabindra Sangeet in the musical composition of the song.
With this song, ‘Mujrim’ makes a debut on the Blog.
Note: Leela Desai’s early life sketch is based on an article which appeared in July 1942 issue of ‘Filmindia’ magazine after the release of ‘Tamanna’ (1942), her maiden film in Mumbai. Some personal information about Desai family is supplemented from a Blog of Adeel Desai.

The name of Chimanlal Trivedi, the producer-director may not ring bell in the minds of most of the admirers of old Hindi films. In Mumbai, he was the contemporary of well-known producer-directors like Chandulal Shah, A R Kardar, Mehboob Khan, V Shantaram etc in the 1940s.
After working as a writer in Sagar Movietone, in 1937, he set up a film production company, CIRCO (Cine Industries and Recording Company Ltd.) with the help of some Bombay-based shareholders as a public limited company in association with New Theatres. He became the Managing Director of CIRCO. The arrangement was that films would be produced by New Theatres’ in Kolkata with their artists and the financing/marketing of the films would be done by CIRCO in Mumbai. Both of them would share the profit. In 1939, CIRCO took upon itself the production of films in Mumbai with ‘Laxmi’ (1940).
Sometime in 1940, Chimanlal Trivedi was under cloud as there was a court case against him for mismanagement of funds of CIRCO. He had resiged as Managing Director of CIRCO in April 1941. I felt that perhaps this court case may have something to do with Chimanlal Trivedi leaving CIRCO to set up a new film production company, Laxmi Productions. After intense searches on the internet, I got a reference to CIRCO court case in indiankanoon. It was an 8-page judgement delivered on November 24, 1941 by Bombay High Court. The gist of the court case is as under:
A shareholder of CIRCO filed a petition in Bombay High Court against Chimanlal Trivedi, the managing director for the mismanagement of funds and to wind up CIRCO as insolvent based on its financial statements for the year ended March 1940. The court did not find any evidence against Chimanlal Trivedi of mismanagement of fund of CIRCO. As regards declaring the CIRCO insolvent, the Company put the arguments that there were 3 films under productions – ‘Apna Ghar’ (1942, directed by Debki Bose), ‘Nai Duniya’ (1942, directed by A R Kardar) and ’Mahatma Vidur’ (1943, directed by P Y Altekar). As per the estimates, CIRCO was expected to earn a profit of Rs. 11 lakhs after the release of these three films taking into account the star value of the main actors and the eminent directors. The petitioner argued that these three films can as well run into losses.
The court held the view that it cannot declare a company insolvent merely based on the speculation that there could be losses after the release of the films. None of the creditors of the CIRCO and a majority of the shareholders have supported the petition for winding up. The court dismissed the petition with cost.
One of the interesting example of the mismanagement of funds of CIRCO was that Shanta Apte was paid Rs,90000/- for working as heroine in a single film which, according to the petitioner, was unreasonably high. The film was not even completed when the matter was under discussion in the court. CIRCO responded by revealing that the amount was paid to Shanta Apte as ‘waiting salary’ for the unexpired period of her contract with Prabhat Film Company. If the CIRCO had not done so, several film producers would have grabbed the opportunity to secure her services for their future film productions.
Another bone of contention between the petitioner and the company was the way the profit was measured in the film industry. CIRCO had drawn the profit and loss account with realizable revenue from film distributors and expected revenue from the films under production for which distribution rights had been contracted. The petitioner found this practice not in keeping with the good accounting principles as this accounting system hides the true financial position of the company.
On the other hand, CIRCO maintained that it followed the convention among the film production companies in drawing its profit and loss account. More often, there were long gap between making of a film and releasing it. During the making of the films, a good amount of money was spent while the income from films would accrue only after their releases and that too, over a period of time. During the intervening period, the company will have to show losses in its profit and loss account. Hence an estimate of revenue of the company was made for the films under production based on the commitment by the film distributors and also the likely response from the film audience based on the star value.
If all the film production companies of that time drew their profit and loss account based on the estimated future profit, it amounts to masking their true financial position. Probably, this type of ‘accounting jugglery’ made some of the producers to float multiple film production companies after closing the earlier ones. Chimanlal Trivedi was no exception as after 1951, he had floated film production companies in different names.
Though the court verdict came in favour of Chimanlal Trivedi and the Company, this was short-lived as CIRCO went into liquidation in 1942. So, the apprehension of a shareholder who had filed the petition in the court about the mismanagement of funds turned out to be correct even though the Bombay High Court had dismissed his petition. It is interesting to note that Chimanlal Trivedil had hired A R Kardar to direct ‘Swami’ (1941) and ‘Nai Duniya’ (1942) under CIRCO banner. After the liquidation of CIRCO, it was A R Kardar who bought CIRCO’s studio at Parel for Kardar Productions.
Chimanlal Trivedi seems to have departed from the usual practice of hiring the actors and crew as per the studio system. It is said that he would first plan the film project and then hire the actors and crew as per the requirements of the new film. Often, he would select the most popular lead actors and directors as per their box office success and pay them in lumpsum for the film which would often work out much higher than what actors would have got under the studio system. It was reported in Filmindia magazine that Chimanlal Trivedi’s ‘highjacking’ of star actors and directors from some of the well known film production companies of that time affected their shooting schedules for the films under productions.
For ‘Tamanna’ (1942), the maiden film under Laxmi Productions, Chimanlal Trivedi hired Leela Desai, one of the successful actresses of New Theatres along with Jairaj with 7 crew members from Bengal which included Phani Majumdar as director, K C Dey as actor-music director, Bibhuti Laha as Cinematographer and Robin Chatterjee as Sound Recordist. It was Leela Desai’s maiden film in Mumbai. It is said that his financial offer to Leela Desai was so attractive vis-à-vis her salary in New Theatre that she accepted the offer.
Chimanlal Trivedi produced around 45 films during 1940-1960. Surprisingly, even with high-end star actors and eminent directors, especially in 1940s when he produced 28 films, there was not a single film which can be tagged as an outstadning film under his banners. In the 1950s, most of his films he produced were of ‘B’ Grade.
‘Sharaafat’ (1943) was third film with Leela Desai-Chimanlal Trivedi combination as actor and producer, respectively under the banner of Laxmi Productions. The star cast included Leela Desai, Pahadi Sanyal, Jagdish Sethi, Agha, Moti, Ghulam Rasool, S L Puri etc. The film had 9 songs which were set to music by Ashok Ghosh. Lyricist for all the songs is unknown.
I am presenting the first song, ‘aayi aayi re maalan singapur se’ from the film to appear on the Blog. HFGK is silent on the singers of the song. But it is apparent that the voices in the song are that of Amirbai Karnataki and Pahadi Sanyal with an unknown female voice in between. At the outset, the song appears to be ‘sales pitch’ but after the completion of the song, a long musical orchestration gives an impression of a stage song.
With this song, ‘Sharaafat’ (1943) makes its debut on the Blog.
