Today is the birth anniversary of Roshan (14 july 1917- 16 november 1967). In his 18 year long career, which was cut short in his prime, he composed music for 52 movies. This blog has 176 songs from as many as 49 of these movies. It is a matter of time before this blog will have almost all Roshan compositions that are available.

“Ramman” (1954) was a Metropolitan Films Production. It was produced by Gemini Dewan and directed by Hiren Bose. The movie had Karan Dewan, Meena, Cuckoo, Om Prakash, Purnima, Majnu, Gulab, Randhir, V. Panchotia etc in it. I wonder if the Meena of this movie is Meena Kumari or Meena Shorey. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this fact as well as on this obscure movie itself.

“Maha Pooja” (1954), as the name suggests, was a low budget religious mythological movie, the kind which was partonised in rural and semi rural areas rather than in big cities.It was an Amar Jyoti Films production. It was directed by Shanti Kumar. The credit for this movie shows names like Amirbai Karnataki, Shashi Kapoor, Anant Marathe, Naina, Prem Adib, Ratnamala etc in it. I am certain that the Shashi Kapoor of this movie is different from the brother of Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor.

Despite discussing so many songs from this movie, we are noswhere near exhausing all the songs from this movie. We are only around the halfway mark as far as the songs of this movie are concerned.

I had neither heard of the film RISHTA (1954) nor its songs till a few days back. The film was produced under the banner of Rajasthan Productions and directed by Aslam. The star cast included Suresh, Nigar Sultana, S Nazir, Vijaylaxmi, Rammohan, Leela Mishra, Neelam. I could not get anything about the story line or genre of the film on the internet. But from the title, I guess, it was a social film. What interested me to look for the songs from this film was its music director K Datta (Datta Korgaonkar) whose immortal songs from films like ‘Badi Maa (1945) and ‘Daaman’ (1950) had impressed me a lot.
