The song being covered in the article is a nice melodious bhajan from the movie ‘Bhakt Dhruv-1957’.

As many as seven Hindi films have been made on the story of Dhruv Kumar or Bhakt Dhruv. These movies are ‘Dhruv Charitra-1933’, ‘Dhruv Kumar-1938’, ‘Bhakta Dhruva-1947’, ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1957’ and ‘Bhakta Dhruv Kumar-1964’ and ‘Baalak Dhruva-1974’. There was one movie in 1983 which was a dubbed movie titled as ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1983’.

Three of the abovementioned movies are already represented in the blog. They are ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1947’, ‘Bhakta Dhruv-1957’ and ‘Bhakta Dhruv Kumar-1964’. The two movies of 1930s are not represented because the songs of these movies are perhaps not available. Movies from the seventies and the eighties could make their debuts in the blog in near future.

“Bhakt Dhruv-1957” was directed by Gunjaal for ‘Ashok Pictures’. It was produced by R.L. Arora and this movie was passed by Censor Board on 18.10.1957.
