As the nation is celebrating 77th Republic Day on 26th January, 2026, I have found yet another patriotic song by Mohammed Rafi sahab. I had zeroed in on another song, the sound quality was not so good. Suddenly this song came up on the feed, as a newly found song. I have checked; it is available on youtube for many years.

Another special thing is that it is a non-film song, written by Rajinder Krishan. Music directors name and the Album name is missing from the list of Rafi song as well as on the links available on youtube.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-53)

We resume our journey of Kavi Pradeep songs after a gap of more than a month. I had planned to post Kavi Pradeep songs regularly because we have yet to cover many of the songs that he wrote for Hindi films.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Basant Panchami-1956’. This movie has ten songs written by Kavi Pradeep. Chitragupt was the music director. Asha Bhonsle and Kavi Pradeep were the playback singers. The movie had two duets and eight solo songs by Asha Bhonsle. So far, five songs from this movie have already been posted on this blog. Today we are going to listen to the sixth song from this movie.

‘Basant Panchami-1956’ was directed by Jayant Desai for ‘Hemlata Pictures’. Jayant Desai was also the producer of this movie and it was passed by Censor Board on 24.07.1956. ‘Basant Panchami-1956’ was a devotional or ‘bhakti pradhaan’ movie. The cast of this movie included Nirupa Roy, Anant Kumar, Jeevan, S.N. Tripathi, Radhakishan, Yashodhara Katju, Niranjan Sharma, Kumkum, Babu Raje, Charubala, Anand Joshi, Sukumar, Dubey, Uma Dutt, Naazi, Shri Bhagwan and others.
