Today’s song is from an obscure but good film Apni Chhaya-1950.
The film APNI CHHAYA-1950, literally means ‘our own shadow’. The story is such that what happens to the father when he is young, happens to his son as well. Only difference is he is the hero in the first case and the Villain in the second phase. The film was made by Chitralaya limited Bombay. The story and Direction was by P L Santoshi, who had also written all songs of the film. The music was by Hanuman Prasad and Husnlal-Bhagatram. There were 10 songs and 7 singers were used. The cast of the film was Balwant Singh, Sulochana Chatterjee, Radhakishen, Mumtaz Ali, Sajjan, Tiwari, Jawahar Kaul etc. Except perhaps the Husnlal Bhagatram duo, major contributors to music, direction, lyrics, acting etc were on the declining stages in their careers.
