#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
Today’s song is from the ‘1957’ movie ‘Saakshi Gopaal’.
This movie had made its debut on the blog on January 06, 2013. So far only two songs from this movie have been posted on the blog.
Readers can easily note that this movie has already completed its ‘ten-year’ run on the blog recently. So the movie was due for a song presentation under the ‘blog ten-year challenge’. However, we missed that opportunity.
Today we will listen to a lovely song from this movie which is sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
“Saakshi Gopaal-1957” was directed by Balchandra Shukla and Ramnik Vaidya for ‘Ratnadeep Pictures’. It was produced by Trikambhai-Labhubhai.
It had Bharat Bhushan, Kumari Nanda, Madan Puri, Manju, Chaman Puri, Meenu, Babu Raje, Umakant, Pande, Gadadhar Sharma, Champak Lala, Rajkumar, Heera, Niranjan Sharma, Achala Sachdev, Narbada Shankar, Nadir, Anand Joshi, Sitaram, Tikaram, Ajit, Ajay, Dinanath and others.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 02.12.1957.
“Saakshi Gopaal-1957” has ten songs written by Bharat Vyas and composed by Chitragupt.
(HFGK Vo-III (1951-1960) – mentions in the foot-note for this movie details that the song number at sr.no. 10 seems to be added later to the movie.)
Let us have a look over the song-list of this movie given below.
| SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Kali ik tumse poochhoon baat | Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi | 06.01.2013 |
| 02 | Palkon mein na samaaye re… mere nainaa bade naadaan re… | Lata Mangeshkar | |
| 03 | Tere paiyyaan pade teri maiyya | Lata Mangeshkar | |
| 04 | Ho jamuna kinaare jhilmil kare | Manna Dey | 04.12.2013 |
| 05 | Shrikrishna sharnam mamah: | Manna Dey, Mohd Rafi, chorus | |
| 06 | Aaj hoga wahi tum samajh lo sahi | Mohd Rafi | |
| 07 | Toot gaye hain kapaat kapat ke…mere man mein base nandlala | Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey | |
| 08 | Ab to sahaa nahin jaata… sune dharti gagan paataal | Mohd Rafi | |
| 09 | Runjhun baaje painjani re aur dolan lagaa jahaan | Dilip Dholkia | |
| 10 | Dhanya hai bharat teerth | Manna Dey, chorus |
From the above table we can see that two songs from this movie have been posted earlier on the blog, and both of them were posted in the year ‘2013’ only. So, let us start our journey for the remaining songs from this movie, and listen to the third song from this movie today.
As mentioned above today’s song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and the songs is a nice song to listen to.
Lyrics are by Bharat Vyas and music is composed by Chitragupt.
Lyrics for the song were sent by Prakashchandra.
Only the audio of this song is available. I guess that none of the videos from this movie are available on internet.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.

————————————————-
A tribute to Poet-Lyricist – Bharat Vyas
——————————————–
Today 6th January’2022 is the One hundred and fourth birth anniversary of Poet Lyricist Bharat Vyas. He was born on 06.01.1918 and he passed away on 05.07.1982.
As per the statistics page on our blog he has written over twelve hundred songs for Hindi Films. Out of these 1246 songs, so far, only 436 songs have been posted on the blog. So it is still a long way oof before we have all the songs of Bharat Vyas on the blog.
It is quite possible that many of the songs written by him many not be available now.
It will be interesting to bring on board as many songs of Bharat Vyas as possible.
Today, as a tribute to him, here is a song written by him for the movie ‘Raja Vikram-1957’.
‘Raajaa Vikram-1957’ was directed by Dhirubhai Desai for ‘Sharad Productions. It had Usha Kiran, Shahu Modak, Nigar Sultana, Niranjan Sharma, P. Kailash, Vimla Kumari, Bhagwan, Suryakant, Sushil Kumar, Dilip, Ranjana Shukla, Vijaymala, Prabha Shankar, Bharat Kumar, Premi, Nemo, Poonam Kapoor, Mohini, Santosh Kumar, Chhotelal, Kalla, Anil Kumar, Pandya, Kesarbai, Noorjahaan, Nirmal Kumar, Devchand and others.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 22.10.1957.
‘Raajaa Vikram’ has eleven songs written by Bharat Vyas and composed by B.N. Bali.
Here is the list of songs as mentioned for ‘Raajaa Vikram’ in HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960).
| SNo. | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Ham aaj safar ko chaley | Rafi, chorus | 01.04.2013 |
| 02 | Na maangoon main tera jahaan | Rafi | 28.04.2013 |
| 03 | Chali re… piya ki gali re | Geeta Dutt, chorus | 05.07.2013 |

| 09 | Dharti par jo rahaa, | Manna Dey | |
| 10. | Hey ambe hey durge, hey kaali | Not mentioned | |
| 11 | O aasmaan waale | Geeta Dutt, chorus |
From the above table we can see that three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog and all of them were posted in the ‘year 2013’. After that no song from this movie has appeared on the blog.
Today we present the fourth song from this movie which is sung by Manna Dey. I came across this song during my daily browsing on ‘Youtube’ and when I listened to it I immediately fell in love with this action packed song. I had always been a great fan of such songs.
Only the audio of the today’s song is available.
When I was about to send this song yesterday I noticed the date of his birth anniversary wich falls today. So, we are presenting this song as a tribute to this great poet and lyricist who has given us some of the ‘timeless’ songs.
Let us listen to today’s song now…
Audio
Song-Aaya zor se toofaan (Raja Vikram)(1957) Singer-Manna Dey, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-B N Bali
Lyrics
aaya zor se toofaan
aaya zor se toofaan

tera jeewan na tere haath

raam bharose teri naiyya
aaya aaya zor se toofaan
chaaron oar se saagar ki goonjti
lehron ne tujhko gheraa aa
ab to na kuchh bhi deta dikhaayi
chhaane lagaa hai andheraa aa
aaj doley re dagmag praan
aaj doley re dagmag praan
bhanwar ka aage hai
bhool bhulaiyya
tera jeewan na tere haath
chhod de
raam bharose teri naiyya
aaya aaya zor se toofaan
angaaraa ban ke dhadhke re dharti
dhadke gagan ki chhaati
lehraati aur bal khaati bijaliyaan
baadal mein aag lagaatin
aaj kaanpe re saaraa jahaan
aaj kaanpe re saaraa jahaan
huaa hai krodhi wo jag ka rachaiyya
tera jeewan na tere haath
chhod de
raam bharose teri naiyya
aaya aaya zor se toofaan
aaj praan ka daanv lagaa ke
kar le prabhu ko raazi
sankat ki in ghadiyon mein saunp de
uske haath teri baazi
jo rakshak hai sabkaa mahaan
jo rakshak hai sabkaa mahaan
kanhaiyya
wohi tera hai bachaiyya
tera jeewan na tere haath
chhod de
raam bharose teri naiyya
aaya aaya zor se toofaan
na koi tadbeer chalegi khiwaiyya
tera jeewan na tere haath
chhod de
raam bharose teri naiyya
raam bharose teri naiyya

Today’s song is from a Costume drama-Jalti Nishani-1957.
There was another film Jalti Nishani made in 1932, by Prabhat Film Company of Poona. It was a bilingual film, made in Hindi and Marathi and the Marathi version was titled ” Agni kankan” ( अग्नी कंकण ). That was the usual story of an honest king, a bad Vazir, a runaway queen with her son and the revenge taken after 20 years. The 1957 film with the same title had almost a similar story with some variations. This film was made by Emsheth productions, produced aptly by a rich person called A.G.Dhanik. It was directed by Tara Harish and the melodious music was provided by the grand old man of Hindi film music – Anil Biswas.
The image of Anil Biswas carved in the minds of Music lovers is that of a smiling person who was respected by one and all in the industry. But few people know that behind that smiling face were many unpleasant events in his life. A failed marriage, loss of all earnings while settling the separation, loss of a dear friend-Mehboob, loss of an young son in Indian Air Force, a failed musician son, a pathetic end of his musical career field in Bombay and a life spent away from Bombay made Anil Biswas a Philosophical person at the end of his life.
I have full respect and liking for him as a person and also as a music melody creator in Hindi films. Today, in this post, we will take a short look at his life and a retelling of some interesting happenings of his life. In his Bio,you will find a less known story of his ambitious but unfortunate son who died untimely. I am not going into the details of his songs and music nor am I going to delve into the details of his interesting early life in Bengal, before coming to the Bombay film world scene. So, here we go….
Anil Biswas,the Bhishma Pitamaha of HFM,was a respected person in the industry.He started from the mid 30s and for the next 25 years or so,he created many everlasting gems in film songs. In Bombay,the Playback was first started by him in the film Mahageet-1937. By the mid 50s his magic started waning and by 1960,he was almost gone from the industry. Initially he did 10-11 films with Sagar,then with Mehboob for National studios and then in Bombay talkies- where his name became immortal with the film Kismet-1943.
He married Ashalata in 1936. Along with her he started variety pictures and they produced films like Laadli-49,Laajawab-50;Badi Bahu-51,Hamdard-53 and Bajuband-54. ( a less known fact is-Anil da had made a Guest appearance in the film Hamdard-53 as a barber.) He also acted in the film Mehman-53 (produced by Ashalata),as a Pujari and a song was shot on him.In both cases he did not get any payments. As a Producer he lost heavily, because Ashalata usurped all the money. Frustrated, he gave up everything and separated from her in 1954.
To sustain life,he bought a Truck and did a business of transportation. In addition he also took the contract for a canteen in Mehboob Studios. He failed in both ventures. By now,his relations with Ashalata were soured and sweet links were established with singer Meena Kapoor-25 years younger to him, since 1948 itself.According to some reports, they got married with each other on 19-3-1957. The death of Brother in law and close friend Pannalal Ghosh in 1960 and younger brother Sunil in 1961 as well as his eldest son- Pradeep,broke his heart. He left Bombay and joined A.I.R. at Delhi on 1-3-1963,where he worked upto 27-6-1975. Later he was a consultant for Nehru University for a few years.
Like many filmi couples,Anil da’s married life was also a failure. In Bombay,he used to stay in a huge bungalow,called ” Asha-Pradeep “, on Vincent Road. From Ashalata,he got 3 sons-Pradeep,Amit and Utpal and 1 daughter-Shikha. His son Utpal formed a pair as Amar-Utpal and gave music to few films. The other son Amit established the First Digital Recording Studio in Bombay. Daughter Shikha too got married and settled.
However,hardly anything is known about his eldest son Pradeep,anywhere. Here is some information,hitherto not known much,brought specially for our readers.
Pradeep was a very bright student and always topped in school and college. He passed his entrance exam and the interview,with flying colours for entry to NDA college at Poona,to join armed forces. He excelled even in NDA training.Not only was he very popular there but sang well too. He participated in the music Festival of Khadakwasla NDA and sang 3 songs,winning all prizes. He was also a NDA Topper.
Shri Gopinath Talwalkar,an A.I.R. Programmer at Delhi,used to interview the Toppers of NDA every year. That year Pradeep was the Topper, so he was interviewed. Though the interview was in Hindi, after the recording,Pradeep asked Talwalkar,in pure Marathi,whether his interview had been good. Talwalkar was shocked. Pradeep then explained that he was Anil Biswas’s son and he had learnt Marathi from his actress mother Ashalata. Pradeep knew Hindi,Marathi,English and Gujarati languages.
After completing his NDA training,he was posted as Flight cadet at Jodhpur. He was further promoted and became Pilot Officer in 1957. During one Training flight some altitude problems occurred and his plane crashed at Begumpet Airport, Hyderabad, killing Pradeep instantly. This happened in 1961.
This was also the time of crisis for Anil da. He was struggling to survive. Films were not coming to him. Since he married Meena Kapoor, Lata Mangeshkar-a fast close friend of Ashalata , had gone against him and Meena’s singing career was suppressed. He had already lost Pannalal Ghosh and Sunil-his brother and now Pradeep’s death devastated him and he was literally forced to seek employment with Delhi A.I.R., when the opportunity came. After retirement, till his death on 31-5-2003, he spent his life in total anonymity and recluse. So sad for a composer, who was once a fountain of enthusiasm and who was considered Mentor by leading contemporary composers like C.Ramchandra.
Here is an anecdote about C.Ramchandra and Anil Biswas…
On the day of recording the first ever Hindi film song (a chorus song) of C.Ramchandra, (in 1942) all arrangements were done. Chorus singers were ready, musicians were ready and technicians were ready. Suddenly, a set of visitors arrived at the studio. The visitors were all top composers of the day like Anil Biswas, K.Datta, Naval Chatterjee and some others.They all had heard about C Ramchandra, his tunes and his work. They wanted to see how he operated. C Ramchandra had tremendous respect for Anil Biswas. He knew that the contributions of Anil Biswas to Hindi Film Music was praiseworthy. Anil Biswas was a master of harmonization technique in western and Indian music instruments.
C Ramchandra described this event thus-
” It was my great fortune that a senior composer whom I considered as my Guru was present at my first recording. To my greatest surprise all the visitors joined the Chorus group for singing. I just wanted to check if the final take can be taken. I said one ..two..three and the song and music started, but I felt something was wrong. One singer sounded different. I stopped and ran outside to the singers. To my shock it was Anilda who put a Teevr Nishad which was not in my composition. He smilingly asked, is it Ok ? I said respectfully, No Dada, this is not right. He very magnanimously and without further questions agreed and they all sang on my tune only !. ”
Here is one more anecdote about Anil Biswas and Dilip kumar…
A few interesting lines about the duet –‘Aa mohabbat ki basti basayeinge hum’. One afternoon Anil Da at his residence was in the company of celebrated actors –Dilip Kumar and Ashok Kumar. He played on his harmonium and hummed the serious tune of his forthcoming melody -‘Aa mohabbat ki basti basayeinge hum’. As to who will be the female singer, there was absolutely no doubt about Lata; but who will give the male voice? “Dada it should be Talat”-said Ashok Kumar. Whereas Dilip Kumar suggested –“Anil Da, in any case looking at the serious lyrical notes, male singer should be your favorite Mukesh.” Anil Da had something else in his mind. “How if Kishore sings with Lata”- said the maestro. “Kishore!’ –Dilip was taken aback; “if Kishore will sing such a serious song, then ‘Aapka joota aur mera sar (if Kishore will sing such a serious song, my head is ready for your shoe-beating)’” –added Dilip Kumar. “Mein joota le kar aataa hoon, sar tayyar rakho (Be ready with your head, I am bringing my shoe).”
Kishore Kumar was called, who at the first instance, bluntly refused to sing the said duet with Lata. But, the maestro’s conviction prevailed and eventually a heart-throbbing duet was created!
Film Girls school-49 has a very interesting History. As we know the film had 9 songs and there were 2 MDs-Anil Biswas and C Ramchandra (4 and 5 songs each).
This film was produced by Kavi Pradeep under the banner of Lokmanya Productions,Bombay. This was a company floated by him and Amiya Chakrawarty-director of this film. To understand the complexities of Girls school, we must go back a little. In 1942, Anil Biswas was invited by Ranjit @ 1500 pm and by Bombay Talkies @ 2500 pm. As National studio was winding up, AB wanted to make a change anyway, but due to the contract of national he could not join Bombay Talkies openly. He ,however , gave music to film Basant-42 and the name of his brother in Law, Pannalal Ghosh was used as its MD.
Finally when AB joined Bombay Talkies, there were already 2 groups there. One was led by Devika Rani and Amiya Chakraborty and the other was led by S. Mukherjee along with Ashok kumar, Gyan Mukherjee, Pradeep etc- a total of 15 artistes. AB was invited by Devika Rani and that too at 2500 pm,when Pradeep was getting 1500 pm. This irritated Pradeep to no end and he started troubling and finding faults with Anil Biswas. However Anil Biswas gave excellent music to film Kismet and then everyone was happy as the film celebrated jubilees everywhere.
With this background,Anil Biswas joined Girls school as a MD, mainly due to Amiya who knew his calibre. Kavi Pradeep being a producer and a Lyricist started interfering with Anil Bswas’s work and criticising him at every opportunity. AB was fed up. He had already recorded 3 songs and a solo by Lata , ” tum hi kaho,mera man udas kyun na rahe” was to be recorded. Anil Biswas had taken C Ramchandra as his assistant for this film. Though CR was already a popular and well known composer himself, still due to sheer respect for Anil Biswas, he had accepted to be his assistant here. When the tune for Lata’s solo was made, Pradeep passed caustic remarks about it being not so good. There was an altercation between Anil Biswas and Pradeep and Biswas quit then and there and went away.
Automatically, C Ramchandra had to take over as MD for the balance songs. Pradeep was very happy. Next day recording of Lata’s solo song took place under the supervision of C Ramchandra, as planned. Later when Lata came to know that Anil Biswas had left and C Ramchandra had replaced him,she was very angry and said that she would not have recorded the song had she known about AB’s exit. She objected to CR’s taking over and complained to the Artistes association too. (Remember, at that time Lata and CR’s relations had not formed yet, Lata was still with Husnlal.)
Later on in 1954, when O P Nayyar replaced Roshan for Mehbooba-54, Lata took up the issue with the MDs’ association. Anil Biswas was the chairman that time and OPN was boycotted. That time Lata quoted the film Girls school incident to prove that she was ” highly Principled” !
Anyway, this was how C Ramchandra became the next MD of Girls school-49,with 4 duets of Shamshad and 1 solo for Lalita Deulkar. All the 4 duets of this pair are very interesting. However, with all this jhamelas, film Girls school-49 was a total Flop. Pradeep lost heavily and closed the production company forthwith, after just one film.
One peculiar thing with Anil Biswas was that he liked to compose Chorus songs. That is why in almost every film you will find at least one chorus song. Right from his first film to his last film, I checked the song list. Even in his today’s film there are 2 chorus songs. Today’s song also has a chorus in it. It is a good song. Let us enjoy it.

Only one song from the movie is left to be covered.
Here is that final song from the movie. The song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Bharat Vyas is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi.
The song is picturised on Nirupa Roy playing a bride and getting married to the wrong groom. She would not point this out to her elders, rather she would make the most of this opportunity to sing a melancholic song. Singing a melancholic song,(when wronged by fate) was considered the ultimate act of Bhartiya Nari in Hindi movies of those days. Nirupa Roy was one of the leading Bhartiya Naaris of those days. subsequently she graduated to the role of the ultimate Hindi movie maa. 🙂
Amar is also visible in the picturisation.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
With this song, all the nine songs of “Janam Janam Ke Phere”(1957) get covered in the blog. The movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.
