When I started writing the article on the film, ‘Mrigtrishna’ (1975, I found it be very long (3500+words). So, I felt better to convert it into two separate articles. My first article on this film was posted on the Blog on June 10, 2025 in which I have mainly covered the story of the film with some other details. In the second article on the film, I will cover a brief biography of the music director and lyricist, Shambhu Sen along with some additional information on the film.

Today’s song is from a film having a very ‘confusion causing’ title- Lachak-1951.

Yesterday morning, one of my Facebook friends, who is also a lover of old hindi film songs, sent me a message on messenger….” Today SLBS had broadcast a song from the film Lachak-1951,naming Inayat Ali as the Music Director. As per HFGK Lachak-1951 had music by Pt. Motiram. I am confused. Can you please solve this issue ?”

There are movies that are well made with good story line. I, who considered myself as a moviegoer with highbrow taste ( 🙂 ) liked such movies. For example, I liked movies like Sholay, Deewaar, Don etc. Then there are movies with silly story lines that low brow audiences liked but I did not.
