This is a song from film ‘Shair’ (1949). I am not sure if that is the correct name for this film. If the name is ‘Shaayar’ or ‘Shaayir’ than it will mean ‘the poet’. If it is ‘Shair’ than it is ‘a couplet’. Eight songs from this film have appeared in this blog. I was able to find only one Rafi song in this film which is luckily not posted.

C RAMCHANDRA is generally considered a rebel amongst the composers of his times. He is the one, who, in the fifth decade of the 20th century itself brought full fledged western music variety in Hindi songs. At the same time he composed soft and extremely melodious songs based on various Ragaas also. He took Lata Mangeshkar to the pinnacle where she remained, later, on her own merit, for a long period. Very few composers have exhibited such variety in their music. It was a fact that many of his films were sold merely on the strength of his music.

Searching for the early songs of Chitragupt, I found this wonderful duet that I had not heard before. This from the film ‘Shoukeen’ from 1949. The film is produced under the banner of Gautam Chitra, Bombay, and is directed by Nanabhai Bhatt. This is another stunt film that came the way of Chitragupt for music direction. The star cast of this film includes Bhagwan, Baburao, Chand Barq, Kanta, Yunus, Nadir, Baalaram, Seetaram. And the dog Moti once again has a place in the credits.

Roshan – a name that spells a purist, a name that is acknowledged as a creator of master melodies. The career of an artist in the film industry is measured by the films one is associated with. In a short career of 19 years, this giant amongst music directors accomplished 56 films. The filmography is as impressive as can be – Baawre Nain (1950), Humlog and Malhaar (1951), Anhonee, Naubahaaar and Malhaar in 1952, Maalkin, Aagosh and Maashooqa in 1953, Chandni Chowk and Jashan in 1955, Agra Road and Coffee House in 1957, Aji Bas Shukriya in 1958, CID Girl and Heera Moti in 1959, and then on to sixties with Barsaat Ki Raat, Baabar, Aarti, Surat Aur Seerat, Wallaah Kya Baat Hai, Dil Hi To Hai, Taj Mahal, Chitralekha, Bheegi Raat, Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal, Devar, Mamta, Bahu Begum and Anokhi Raat. In this sampler list, each film represents a treasure of melodies that would be the envy of other music directors. With this post, we are celebrating the 200th song of this illustrious melody maker to be represented on this blog.
