Today’s song is from the film Sailaab-1956. Sailaab means Flood or Deluge.
The film was produced by Mukul Roy for his own banner M R Films, Bombay. Initially the film director was Ravindra Dave, but after shooting 4 reels, he left the film due to some serious differences with the producer. The rest of the film was directed by Guru Dutt.

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-53)
—————————–
We resume our journey of Kavi Pradeep songs after a gap of more than a month. I had planned to post Kavi Pradeep songs regularly because we have yet to cover many of the songs that he wrote for Hindi films.
Today’s song is from the movie ‘Basant Panchami-1956’. This movie has ten songs written by Kavi Pradeep. Chitragupt was the music director. Asha Bhonsle and Kavi Pradeep were the playback singers. The movie had two duets and eight solo songs by Asha Bhonsle. So far, five songs from this movie have already been posted on this blog. Today we are going to listen to the sixth song from this movie.
‘Basant Panchami-1956’ was directed by Jayant Desai for ‘Hemlata Pictures’. Jayant Desai was also the producer of this movie and it was passed by Censor Board on 24.07.1956. ‘Basant Panchami-1956’ was a devotional or ‘bhakti pradhaan’ movie. The cast of this movie included Nirupa Roy, Anant Kumar, Jeevan, S.N. Tripathi, Radhakishan, Yashodhara Katju, Niranjan Sharma, Kumkum, Babu Raje, Charubala, Anand Joshi, Sukumar, Dubey, Uma Dutt, Naazi, Shri Bhagwan and others.

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Bandhan-1956’. I do not remember to have listened to the songs from this movie earlier or maybe I have forgotten them. The video of this movie is now available on internet which I guess was not the case years back when other songs from this movie were posted on the blog. I have not watched this movie so far, so can’t say much about this movie. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 05.11.1956.
‘Bandhan-1956’ was directed by Hem Chander for ‘Sarkar Productions, Calcutta’. It was produced by D.K. Sarkar. The cast of this movie has Meena Kumari, Pradeep Kumar, Shashikala, Motilal, Achala Sachdev, David, Kammo, Natwar, Nana Palsikar, Meenu, Bhupendra Kapoor, Leela Mishra, Shaikh, Sarita Devi, Shivjee Bhai, Pt Tulee, Ranu Mukherjee, Asit Sen, Zahar Ganguly and others. Music for this movie was composed by Hemant Kumar. This movie has seven songs which were all written by lyricist Rajinder Krishan. The playback singers for the songs of this movie were Hemant Kumar, Bela Mukherjee, Lata Mangeshkar, and Asha Bhonsle. So far three songs from this movie have already been posted on this blog.

Hullo Atuldom
Back after a year of inactivity. My last post was on 27th December 2025. Since then the calendar has changed and we are into 2026- a New Year. Even if the gap has been of only a few days, it feels like I have been away forever- feels like an Year of Inactivity. 🙂

Today’s song is from a Costume film (HFGK mentions it as a ‘social’ film) – Awara Shehzadi-1956.
There are a total of 14 film titles having Awara in it. Funnily, the original “Awara Shehzada”was a film of 1933. It took 23 years to bring about a female version of the Title with Awara Shehzadi in 1956 ! Incidentally, the film ‘Awara Shehzada’-33 was the First Talkie film, having a Double Role. Shahu Modak had done the roles of the Prince ( Rajkumar) and the Pauper ( Bholaram) in this film. It was directed by Master Vithal, the First Hero of First Talike of India, “Aalam Ara “-1931. Master Vithal was also the first male actor to feature in the Silent Films’ first double role in the film ” Prisoner of Love “- 1927 (aka Raj Tarang) made by Sharda Films.
