Today’s song is from an obscure film – Char minar-1956. Though the 50s decade was known for entertaining, Mythological and musical films, there were also plenty of ordinary films, lacking in content, star power and good music. Such films just came and went without leaving any trace. But these lacklustre films actually gave enhanced importance to memorable films.

Char Minar-56 was a Nagina film presentation (which was owned by Ravindra Dave, the Director of Nageena-51. After this film’s tremendous success he opted for its name for his company). The film was produced and directed by Ravindra Dave. Not only that, the assistant director was Narendra Dave, Assistant Photographers were Pratap Dave and Arvind Dave, Assistant Editor was Balwant Dave and the production manager was Surendra Dave. It looked like an employment exchange for Dave’s family !

#Debutant Movie – ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’#

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’. This movie is making its debut on this blog today.

With over twenty thousand songs already on the blog, and over six thousand of them being from the decade of 1951-1960, I was shocked to note that this movie was still missing from the blog. I was even more surprised when I listened to a few songs from this movie. I must say that this movie has some great melodious compositions in it. It is likely that the songs from this movie were not available online in the past. Personally I had not heard any songs of this movie anywhere to the best of my knowledge. Nevertheless, almost four thousand songs from the decade of 1951-1960 are still missing from the blog. Some of them are available and some more songs may become available with time. As we cover these missing songs, we will come across movies that have not yet made their debuts in the blog.

I checked and double checked and finally came to the conclusion that this movie “Dwarkadheesh” is making its debut today in the blog.

Today’s wonderful song is from the 1959 movie ‘Grihalaxmi’. I guess that the song is addressed to Lord Krishna who has come in disguise. It is just my guess because it is a social movie and not a mythological movie.

‘Grihalaxmi-1959’ , a social movie was directed by Raman B Desai for ‘Bombay Movietone, Bombay’. The cast of this movie has Pandhari Bai, Shahu Modak, Lalita Pawar, Kumari Nazar, Rooplaxmi, Miss Kala, Indira Bansal, Ram Avtaar, Raj, Umakant, Praveen Pal, Devendra, Suryakant Shukla, Polsan, Bhairav, Bipin Gupta and others. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.02.1959. So the movie is now almost sixty-seven years old. This movie has nine songs written by Bharat Vyas and music is composed Avinash Vyas.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

Today I am presenting a lesser heard melodious duet from an unreleased movie ‘Rani Chandravati-1960s’. It is a nice melodious song suitable to be heard at late night (viz fitting the category of chitrahaar song).

HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970)mentions this movie under the section of Un-Released movies. Geet Kosh lists six songs leaving space for the possibility of more songs. Singers for all the six songs have been mentioned. Suman Kalyanpur and Subir Sen are the singers. Suman Kalyanpur has sung three solos, whereas Subir Sen has sung one solo.

S.N. Tripathi is the music director. Out of the six songs of the movie two are known to be penned by lyricist B.D. Mishra. The song being covered today is one of these two songs.

Our senior member Shree Sudhir jee had introduced this movie on the blog on 06.01.2016 by presenting tth December 2015, Sudhir jee has also mentioned the following about this today’s movie.

Today I bring on a very rare solo song from an unreleased film, ‘Rani Chandrawati’ from the 1960s. Some sources peg the year for this film as 1968. However, as per the Geet Kosh, this film was not released for exhibition.

The second song from this movie, in the voice of Suman Kalyanpur, was posted on the blog on 17.12.2025.

Today I am presenting the third song from this movie here. This song is a duet song in the voices of Suman Kalyanpur and Subir Sen.

Let us now listen to this rarely heard duet song …
