Today’s song is from a social film Azad-1940.
The film was made by Bombay Talkies. Bombay Talkies was one of the premiere production companies of India in those times. Its films became very popular and the music was lapped up by the audience. There were other equally famous production houses like Prabhat Films,Ranjit studios and New Theatres of Calcutta, all churning out blockbusters. While Ranjit showed how to make money, Bombay Talkies added prestige to films.
Language in Hindi films was a great issue in those times and it is here that Bombay Talkies won hands down ! Prabhat films had its Hindi totally influenced by Marathi ( and hence was popular in western India), and New Theatres films had their Hindi straight lifted from books of Hindi Prachar Sabha- too pure ! It was only Bombay Talkies films which used the colloquial language of India- easily understood by the masses and acceptable to all classes equally. While Prabhat called it “Preet” , and New Theatres said ” Prem”, Bombay Talkies used the words like ” Pyar” and “Muhabbat” – a mix of Urdu and Hindi ( called Hindustani). Prabhat dialogues were too formal, while New Theatres’ were highly literary and Bombay Talkies used day to day language understood easily over the length and breadth of India.

In Hindi films, a lori refers to a lullaby song sung within the story to soothe a child or express tender emotions such as maternal love, longing, protection, or sacrifice. These songs became a recognizable musical motif in Hindi cinema, especially from the 1940s through the 1980s, when film narratives often included strong family and motherhood themes.

Today’s song is from an utterly obscure, unknown film of the first decade of the talkie era – Kaun kisi ka-1939.
I have been writing posts on old films starting from the 1930s to the end of the 1960s, but I had not heard about this film till a few years back.
During the early era, very few films from the 1930’s are well known or atleast known, but most films remained unknown. Only the films made by well known film studios like Prabhat, Ranjit, Sagar, New Theatres, Minerva, Bombay Talkies etc are known to people.

Today’s song is a part of my growing up. Hearing it makes me very nostalgic and takes me back to 1981, the year I passed out of my undergrad degree and had joined the queue to land a good job. I eventually got a fantastic job as a Medical Rep for the #1 Pharma company in India – Glaxo Ltd (now GSK Ltd). Our in house encyclopaedia Arunkumar Ji has also spent a considerable amount of time in Glaxo and can vouch for my saying that it was a proud feeling, always.
Now coming to today’s song, “Tujhsa Haseen Dekha Na Kahin” is sung by Kishore Kumar, written by Gulshan Bawra and composed by Rahul Dev Burman. It is from the 1981 film “Harjaee”.

Mukesh and his Composers – 46
Ramu to diwana hai (1970, 1980, 2001) was produced and directed by Chandru.
He wrote the lyrics as well as composed the songs in the film.
Further, the story, screenplay and dialogue were also by Chandru only.
Last but not the least, he also acted in it.
The confusion whether it was Chandru Atma or Chandru Hingorani continues though the latter seems confirmed.
The film titles display the name as only Chandru. There is a very clear snap of his with Raj Kapoor and his wife Krishna along with the actress of the film. And the caption also says Chandru only.
Anyway, this film started as a B/W movie in the 70s and continued to be made for a long time. It was probably censored in 2001 but never released. Some clips of the film including the titles roll are available on the net.
Mukesh sang two soulful solos and a very good duet with Suman Kalyanpur. Both the solos are represented on the blog and I bring forth the classy romantic number in this post.
1 and 2 in the table below give ample information about the making of the film and the stories behind the making.
| 1 | Khwaabon ki duniyaa sitaaron ki duniyaa |
| 2 | Maanga thha pyaar magar |
| 3 | Tu sabse haseen hai dilruba |
I am not giving the full details of the Mukesh songs in the film in the above table as all were written and composed by Chandru.
It seems this was his only film as a composer. I request knowledge readers to throw more light on Chandru if anything is available lately.
I had sought info about this film from late Shri Harish ji and I reproduce his response in as-is basis. Since he was not keeping well for a long time, he wrote in phrases, but it is amply clear that he had a lot of authentic information about films and especially anything to do with Mukesh.
Dear Maheshbhai
Ramu To Deewana Hai Banner : Razzamattazz
Actor, Lyricist, Music director : Chandru
Relative of Arjun Hingorani
There is long story behind this film
I am writing in 3-4 linesFilms shooting started around 1970 in B& W Before it completed colour films started. No value of B& W, So chandru started in B&W heroine changed. But it seems it was not completed
May be producer thought it was not up to the standard. Its songs LP came in the market
around 1980 but film was not sent for censorship. Though it was censored in 2001
it is not released till now
3 Songs of Mukesh recorded Two solo and one duet
Khwabon Ki Duniya………Mukesh
Tu sabse hasin hai……….Mukesh-Suman Kalyanpur
Meri duniyako..Maangaa thaa pyaar magar……Mukesh
Today’s beautiful duet was one of the few that I had brought out as unposted on the blog when I had covered the songs of Mukesh with Suman Kalyanpur.
Here is the link to that memorable post.
Today’s post also has a couple of video links sans the actors lip-syncing it. Hence, I am proposing the audio link only which is good enough to hear.
A beautiful duet with its sweetness amplified in the voices of Suman Kalyanpur and Mukesh.
Listen and enjoy to this duet which sounds so lively to this day.
Editor’s note:- The cast of the movie as available online is Chandru Hingorani, Deepa Rani, Yakub Sayeed, Phonsok, Manvendra Chitnis, Leela Chitnis, Chand Usmani, Janki Das, Shakeel, Toot, Rasool, Baby Ritu, Rehman, David, I.S. Johar, Gulshan Bawra, T L Desai, Padmini Kapila, Raj Kapoor etc. Video of this movie showing Chandru and Deepa Rani frolicking in a beach is available. Deepa Rani had played the role of a career conscious fiancee of Raj Kiran in the movie “Hip Hip Hurray”(1984).
Chandru Hingorani (brother of Arjun Hingorani) was an assistant of Raj Kapoor since 1950s.
This song was picturised on Chandru Hingorani and Deepa Rani.

tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
dil tere bina hai bekaraar
chhodo jee chhodo ye baat humse naa chhedo
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
dil tere bina hai bekaraar
chhodo jee chhodo ye baat humse naa chhedo
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
hum to tere deewaane hain tere bina begaane hain
hum to tere deewaane hain tere bina begaane hain
humne sune ye gaane hain
ye aur kisee ko geet suna
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
dil tere bina hai bekaraar
chhodo jee chhodo ye baat humse naa chhedo
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
mere chaman kee hai tu bahaar
teree adaa pe jaan nisaar
mere chaman kee hai tu bahaar
teree adaa pe jaan nisaar
hum naa karenge koi ikraar
o baaten banaane waale yaar
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
dil tere bina hai bekaraar
chhodo jee chhodo ye baat humse naa chhedo
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
donon jahaan ke maalee
is aashiyaan ke maalee
kaayam rahe ye ghadiyaan
yahee ek sawaal hai
yahee ek pukaar hai
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
dil tere bina hai bekaraar
chhodo jee chhodo ye baat humse naa chhedo
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
kar loon main kaise aitbaar
tu sabse haseen hai dilruba
