#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
The song being presented in this post is from the movie ‘Bambai Ki Billi-1960’.
Music for this movie was composed by Khayyam. As per the filmography of music director Khayyam Saab this was his thirteenth film as a music composer. He had already composed music for twelve movies. These included some of the well-known films like ‘Foothpath-1953’, ‘Dhobi Doctor-1954’, ‘Tatar Ka Chor-1955’, ‘Lala Rukh-1958’ and ‘Phir Subah Hogi-1958’.
“Bambai Ki Billi-1960” alias ‘Wild Cat’ was directed by Zahur Mohammad for ‘Super Pictures’. It was produced by Aspi Irani. It had Kumkum, Sudhir, Mukri, Heeralal, Nazima, Uma Dutt, Pal Sharma, Shakeel Nomani, Tun Tun, Babu Raje, Sagar, Chandabai, Shri Bhagwan, Bajid Khan, Nazeer Kashmiri, Bagla, Narayan, Jalezar, Ajit, Balaram, Dinsha, Bachu Bhai, Andalib, Jilani, Ashalata and others.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 16.11.1960.
This movie has seven songs written by Hasrat Jaipuri and composed by Khayyam.
So far, only three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. This movie had made its debut on the blog on 03.01.2013. Thus it has already completed a decade on the blog.
Today 18th February’2023 is the ninety-seventh birthday of Khayyam Saab. Had be been alive today he would have turned ninety-six years age.
On this occasion as a tribute to him we present the fourth song from this movie ‘Bambai Ki Billi-1960’ on the blog.

Today’s song is from the film Choron ki Baraat-1960. This is a very rare song from a film, which is making its Debut on the Blog with this song. There was another film having the same title ,in 1980 also. 26 film titles started with the word Chor…, from 1931 to 2012.
produced by Charanjeet, under the banner of K Pictures, Bombay, the film was directed by Pradeep nayyar and the Music Director was Manohar (Arora), whose assistants for this film were Sonik-Omi, who themselves became a reasonably successful MD pair with the film ” Dil ne phir yaad kiya”-1966. The cast of the film was Amarnath (Bharadwaj), Nazi, Shaikh, Nemo, Shakeela Bano Bhopali, Gulab, Jeevankala, Ram Mohan and many others.
Film Choron ki barat-60 was a story about a hidden treasure and different people who are after getting it and how they try to outsmart others. It is a strange coincidence that in this film, there are artistes who, in their real life, were fit to be in a Choron ki baraat. What I mean to say is that, one Lyricist and one singer from this film cheated the film industry, the audience and the common people by hiding certain facts. Not only these two, but some other famous actors, actresses, singers etc, have hidden their career matters from others – mind you, not inadvertently but intentionally ! I am providing details of some such cases here for your information.
There were 5 Lyricists for 6 songs of this film. One of them was “Gulzar Deenvi”, who was known as ‘ Gulzar’ – the famous poet, director , singer and actor in later days. One of the singers of this film was Mahendra Kapoor. These two are the culprits, who tried to hide and cheat everyone in not admitting honestly how they entered the filmline. Now read this –
Gulzar’s first song was not from Bandini – 63, as is always claimed by him, in every interview. He has written lyrics in films Choron ki Baraat-60, Diler Haseena-60 and Shriman Satyawadi-60. He wrote these songs as Gulzar Deenvi. But he also wrote lyrics in the film Kabuliwala-61 and Prempatra-62 in the name of Gulzar. Even then he claims Bandini-63 as his first film- which is wrong. There is enough proof that Gulzar Deenvi and Gulzar is the same person.
Born January 9, 1934, in Amritsar, Mahendra Kapoor spent the majority of his childhood in Mumbai, where he claimed top honors in the All-India Murphy-Metro Singing competition – 57, for Newcomers. His victory captured the attention of filmmaker Raja Nawathe, who used him in 1958’s Sohni Mahiwal. This also caused a controversy, because the contest was for new comers and Mahendra Kapoor had already sung songs in several films like Madmast-53, Madhur milan-55 Lalkar-56 and Heer-56 and also his first solo song in film Diwali ki raat-56. Later on he gave some lame excuse that he had not got any payment for that song etc etc.
Mala Sinha came from Calcutta to make a career in Bombay films. In Calcutta she worked in a Bilingual film ‘Chitrangadha-54’ in Bangla and Hindi. In 54 again,she did her first film in Bombay, Badshah-54, then came Hamlet-54, Riyasat-55 and Ekadashi-55. In all her interviews, Mala Sinha always quoted “Rangeen Raten”-56 with Shammi Kapoor as her first film in Bombay. She was ashamed of revealing that in film Riyasat-55, her Hero was Mahipal and in film Ekadashi the Hero was Trilok Kapoor. She always hid this fact. There are many Heroines who want to hide their struggling days. For example,in film “Professor”-62 Shammi Kapoor’s Heroine was Kalpana. Though touted as her first film,her first film was Pyar ki Jeet-62, opposite Mahipal- a fact which Kalpana always hid from everyone.
Similarly, A grade Heroine Meena Kumari also had done several Mythological and costume films before Baiju Bawra took her high up and above other Heroines. Filmslike Veer Ghatotkach-49, Shri Ganesh Mahima-50, Laxmi Narayan-51, Hanuman Paataal vijay-51 and Alladin aur Jadui Chirag-52 had Mahipal as her Hero. In her later years,she always hid her earlier film Heroes. Even comedian Johnny Walker,who is supposed to have made a beginning with Baazi-51, had earlier worked in “The last message or Aakhri paigham”-49. A C grade film. However this fact is not told by anyone.
Not only actors,but even singers do this. They hesitate to say that they first sang for C grade films. Take the case of Sudha Malhotra, who used to declare Arzoo-50 as her first film, under Anil Biswas,but she never told that earlier she had sung 3 songs in film Aakhri paigham-49, under the baton of Abid Hussein Khan, a less known composer.
It is very unfortunate that once the artiste becomes famous, he tends to forget his humble beginning with a less known film or a composer. This is because they are ashamed of it. Shri Girdharilal Vishwakarma ji,famous collector and a film Historian,rues that they do so. He feels the blame also goes to people who take their interview,because the interview taker does not do proper homework. Many times they do not know anything and simply listen to whatever is told by the artiste.
One of the names in the cast of this film is NEMO. Hardly any reader would remember this name, but he was a major actor in the Hindi films of New Theatres, Calcutta and some films of Raj Kapoor in Bombay. Incidentally, the film Choron ki Baraat-1960 was his last film in which he had acted, though in a small role. The film was released just 10 days after Nemo died in Bombay. Here is his Bio-data….
Mirza Muhammad Begg was born on 27th december 1903 at Calcutta. He passed his Senior Cambridge. One day he, along with some friends, visited New Theatres to see a film shooting. Mirza Muhammad Begg merely wanted to watch the shooting of ‘Yahoodi Ki Larki’ (1933) but, as luck would have it, his visit to the New Theatres studio in Calcutta led to a small role in the same film. The part was that of a Roman king and little did Begg know back then that he’d soon be turning to Latin to fish out a lasting identity.
A year later, he was invited by New Theatres’ founder B.N. Sircar to work as the production manager of ‘Karwan-e-Hayat’ (1935) and another chance role beckoned. A female actor who was supposed to play an old witch in the film failed to turn up for the shooting and Begg volunteered for the part. The make-up department stepped up to the challenge and Begg, unrecognisable in the get-up, did the job (and always considered it his best effort). What happened next is even more interesting. Once the film was ready, the makers felt apprehensive about revealing to the public that a man had played the witch’s role. Begg came up with a solution – a gender-ambiguous screen name for himself. And in a delightfully wacky move, he picked a name that means ‘nobody/nothing’ in Latin – ‘Nemo’.
The name stuck on and this was the beginning of Nemo’s steadfast association with New Theatres – one that resulted in a string of features like ‘Karodpati’, ‘Dushman’, ‘Doctor’ and ‘Zindagi’. He was Vidushak, the royal jester, in ‘Vidyapati’, a rigid but caring father in ‘Jawani Ki Reet’ and the devoted caretaker Dharamdas in P.C. Barua’s ‘Devdas’. These diverse characters earned him appreciation from audiences and critics alike. Further, the story of the Saigal hit ‘The President’ (1937) was based on his idea and he was duly credited for the same. Alongside his work in films, he also edited and published ‘Akkas’ – a very popular Urdu (and later, Urdu-English bilingual) film magazine in those days. Its surviving copies now serve as an important archive of the early talkies. His last film with New Theatres was Kashinath. When Calcutta was bombed by Japan in late 1942, Nemo migrated with his family to his ancestral hometown, Lucknow. He later went over to Bombay for a short while to work in Mazhar Khan’s ‘Pehli Nazar’ (1945), and then returned to Lucknow to settle into a life far removed from the studio lights.
In the middle of it all lies an extraordinary fact – at the time he entered the movies, M.M. Begg was a national billiards champion! He won the inaugural Indian Open Billiards Championship in 1931 and never left the game thereon, despite a busy and flourishing film career. He won the trophy again in 1937, and between the 2 wins, he was the runner-up thrice. Not to mention, he represented the country at international tournaments and also headed various administrative organisations related to the game. His contributions towards establishing and popularising billiards and snooker in India are widely mentioned, and always in glowing terms. He was also obsessed with Racing.
It was nearly a decade after ‘Pehli Nazar’ that Raj Kapoor managed to pull Nemo out of his sabbatical for 2 memorable final acts in ‘Shree 420’ and ‘Jagte Raho’. In both, Nemo played similar roles of manipulative, corrupt seths who hide their sinister designs behind a facade of respectability. If he was jittery about facing the camera after a long gap, it doesn’t show (unless Seth Sonachand’s trembling chin is not a mannerism ). He was particularly effective in ‘Shree 420’, where he puts on the most evil smile possible and hisses to Raj Kapoor, “Aap se mulaqaat ho gayi, is mein fayda hi fayda hai.” He also did 3 more films- Raja Vikram-57 and Nag Champa-58 and Choron ki Baraat-60.
Nemo worked for 19 films of New Theatres and 6 others, totalling 25 films in all. His Filmography – Yahudi ki ladki-33, Karwaan E Hayat-35, Devdas-35, Karodpati-36, Manzil-36, Vidyapati-37, Anath Ashram-37, President-37, Dushman-38, Dharati Mata-38, Abhagin-38, Jawani ki reet-39, Badi Didi-39, Zindagi-40, Haar Jeet-40, Doctor-40, Aandhi-40, Lagan-41, Saugandh-42, Paheli Nazar-45, Shri 420-55, Jaagte Raho-56, Raja Vikram-57, Nag Champa-58 and Choron ki Barat-1960
It is believed that he died in Bombay on 18-8-1960. Cinema, publishing, sports – Mirza Muhammad Begg distinguished himself in everything he touched. And chose to call himself NEMO – a nobody. ( based on information from Filmdom-1946, HFGK, muVyz and an article by Yasir Abbasi ji, with thanks.)
Today’s song is a duet sung by Suman Kalyanpur and Mahendra Kapoor.

Blog Day : |
5288 | Post No. : | 17321 |
This new year 2023 has seen lots and lots of debutant movies being introduced to the blog. as many as seven movies made their debuts in the blog in this new year. One of the movies had just one song in it. So its debut coincided with its getting YIPPEED as well. We did not have a “proper” YIPpying of the movie so far.
To make up for that, here is the first “proper” Yippying occasion in the blog in 2023. The movie getting YIPPEED is “Basant”(1960).
“Basant”(1960) was produced and directed by Bibhuti Mitra for Mitra Productions Bombay. The movie had Nutan, Shammi Kapoor, Minoo Mumtaz,Kammoo,Cuckoo(guest artiste), Murad, Vittaldas Panchotia, Jagadish Kamal, Gyani, Rajendar, V.Namade, Rawley, ShyamLal And Johnny Walker in it.
This movie was not an original movie. It drew heavily from earlier movies which in turn drew heavily from yet other movies. The movie was a mixture of “Safar”(1946) and “Shabnam”(1949), which were hit movies made by Bibhuti Mitra in the past taking inspiration from Hollywood movies “It happened one night”(1934) and “Love Affair”(1939), later remade as “An Affair to remember”(1957).
Great Memsaab, when she was actively reviewing Hindi movies, had posted a long and funny review of this movie.
An excerpt, which was earlier quoted while discussing this movie, is quoted here again:-
“Take the plot of It Happened One Night, sprinkle in some ingredients from An Affair To Remember, then stir in a third plot which is completely nuts, and voila! it’s Basant. Two of my favorite Hollywood films and some masala craziness for the price of one Hindi film! Sure, there are huge plot holes and it’s nonsensical at times, but what do I care—especially when the hero and heroine are my beloved Shammi Kapoor and beautiful Nutan. They are great together: his nonchalant silliness complements her feisty character perfectly.
Plus, there’s Pran! and lovely music from OP Nayyar.Meenakshi Rai (Nutan) is the spoiled daughter of millionaire Rai Bahadur (Murad). We know that she’s a modern girl because she wears trousers and says “My foot!” a lot. She wants to marry Rajesh (Pran), a man of whom her father disapproves strongly.
Her father is escorting her to Calcutta by train to get her away from Rajesh, but she disembarks at another stop in the middle of the night as he is sleeping. Her bag is stolen on the platform by a scoundrel named Billoo (Johnny Walker) and she chases him to a nearby fairground, where she recovers her bag but discovers that her father already has the police after her.
To escape them, she takes to the stage and sings a lovely song (“Raaste Mein”) with a guy named Ashim (Shammi Kapoor). But when she returns to the train station to catch the Bombay train, it’s crawling with police and her father is there! So is Ashim, who has figured out who she is; he’s traveling to Bombay as well.
She decides to take the bus instead and sits next to Billoo—who steals all the money from her purse when she isn’t looking. For some reason never explained, Ashim is on the bus too, and sees a police roadblock ahead. He pushes Billoo aside and saves her from detection.
They enact a hilarious drama of a possessive husband and his shrewish wife, and the policeman flees to avoid getting involved. Shammi and Nutan are really fun to watch as he continues to needle her (and imitates her “My foot!” at every opportunity), and she gives it back to him as good as she gets.
To escape further notice, Meenakshi and Ashim take to the side roads. When Billoo the con man sees a poster with her photo and a Rs 50,000 reward, he starts trailing them. There is a lot of other comic side plot action with Johnny, but I won’t go into it here. He is pretty funny, though.
As Meenakshi and Ashim head towards Bombay by whatever transport they can find, they argue a lot but are getting acquainted too. She tells him that she is headstrong because her father has always been so controlling, and she is longing for a little freedom. They are so CUTE together.
Back in Bombay, Rai Bahadur just wants his daughter back, and is even willing to compromise with Rajesh.
But Ashim and Meenakshi are falling in love.
So true! When the two reach her home in Bombay, she confesses her feelings to Ashim. He tells her to meet him after one month apart, as a test to make sure their love is true. This seemed like a bad idea in An Affair To Remember, and it seems like a bad idea now, but she happily agrees.
Unfortunately, Rajesh is waiting in the wings, and he needs her money. On Meenakshi’s birthday—which Ashim attends in disguise—Rai Bahadur announces her engagement to Rajesh, as promised. Ashim is furious and confronts her, but she reassures him that she loves him. Rajesh overhears them, and sends his thugs to kill Ashim when he goes on a trip to deliver a valuable necklace in this place (our lunatic third plot development):
On the night when they are to meet, Meenakshi has a car accident and is paralyzed from her waist down. Rai Bahadur dies of a heart attack when he hears the news. When she recovers enough to leave the hospital in a wheelchair, Rajesh tells her that Ashim is dead too.
Poor Meenakshi is bereft. Is Ashim really dead? If not, where is he? Did he show up for their rendezvous and think her absence meant she had decided to marry Rajesh? Will she marry Rajesh? Will she ever walk again?
Oh, the drama! The tears! The beauty of Shammi! “
Reading the above, we can realise that “Chori Chori”(1956) and “Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahin”(1991) also used the same story.
Despite borrowing heavily from all time hit movies, “Basant”(1960) failed at the box office.
We are discussing songs of “Basant”(1960) so let us now coonfine us to songs. The movie had as many as 14 songs ! In a movie running around three hours, one third of time must have been taken by the songs themselves !
One notices that Asha Bhonsle’s voice figures in all 14 songs. It is easily a record for a singer to lend his/her voice in each and every song of a movie where the song count is so high.
The movie had as many as 10 Rafi-Asha Bhonsle duets. Easily a record in a movie for a duet singing pair. In addition, they figured in another song, that also had the voice of S D Batish.
O P Nayyar, the music director, clearly belived in one size fits all policy. All male actors lip synced in Rafi’s voice. All female actors lip synced in Asha Bhonsle’s voice. It the process, Asha Bhonsle lent her voice to Nutan, Kammo and Minu Mumtaz in different songs ! Video of four songs are not available, so who knows, she may have lent her voice to some more female actors in the movie. If all videos were available, then I would not be surprised to find that Johny Walker and Kammo had more songs picturised on them in the movie than Shammi Kapoor and Nutan !
As discussed above, the movie had 14 songs in it. 13 songs have already been covered.
Here is the list of the 13 songs that have been covered in the blog so far:-
| Blog post number | SongDate of posting | Singer(s) | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1860 | Peechhe hat hat hat babu chhed naa | 4 September 2009 | Asha Bhonsle | Picturised on Nutan |

We can see that this movie had a very long and eventful stay in the blog. The songs of this movie have been discussed not only by me, but also by Sudhir Jee, Arunkumar Deshmukh jee and nahm jee. We have discussed quite a few topics, while covering these songs, including introduction to some of our regulars.
Finally the movie gets YIPPEED in the blog with its 14th and final song. This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and chorus. It is picturised on Minu Mumtaz and others.
Qamar Jalalabadi, whose remembrance day falls today, is the lyricist of the song. So this song serves as a tribute to him.
O P Nayyar is the music director of course.
Most of our posts these days appear in the early morning. But this song is about “Raat chaandni”, so postig it in the morning would have appeared inappropriate. so I am posting this song, when it is night. It is not quite “chaandni raat”(full moon night), that day was three days ago on 6 january 2023), but the moon is still full enough to be able to shed its chaandni tonight. So the setting for the song is appropriate enough.
So here is this 14th and final song from “Basant”(1960). Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
With this song, all the songs of “Basant”(1960) get covered in the blog and the movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

“Trunk Call”(1960) was produced by Kanwal Nayyar and T C Dewan and directed by Balraj Mehta for MayFair films, Bombay. The movie, a “stunt” movie had Shyama, Abhi aka Abhi Bhattacharya, Pran, Shammi, Randhir, Helen, Uma, Rajan Haksar, Keshov, Dolly, Nazir Kashmeri, Henry, Chander Kumar, K.L.Kapoor, Darshan etc in it.
“Trunk Call”(1960) had six songs in it. One song has been covered so far.
Here is the second song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle. Qamar jalalabadi is the lyricist. Music is composed by Ravi.
Only audio of this rare song is available. From the sounds of it, this song could be a club dance song. Seeing that Helen is there in the cast, this song could well be picturised on her. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
Lyrics of the song and other details were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

On our blog so far we have 3820 songs of Lata Mangeshkar already posted. But still there are many songs of her yet to come on the blog. And if one thinks that the remaining songs must be from later years of Hindi Cinema then that is not the case.
Music lovers and our regular readers on the blog are well aware of this and when they notice such song they bring it to our attention.
Like the today’s song which is from the movie ‘Sinhaldweep Ki Sundari-1960’. Our regular reader Shri. Deepak Patwardhan ji had sent me ‘farmaaish’ for this song few months back. It has been delayed from my side to present it here. Now, trying to get back into rhythm of the blog, I take this opportunity to present a Lata Song from the above movie today on the blog.
‘Sinhaldweep Ki Sundari-1960’ was directed by Shantilal Soni for ‘Mukund Pictures, Bombay’.
It had Nalini Chonkar, Anand Kumar, Daljeet, Sapru, Sundar, Tuntun, B.M. Vyas, Jagdish Kanwal, Ameerbai Karnataki, Vivek, C.J. Pande, R.S. Dube, Sharma, V.R. Ramchandran, Polson and others.
As per information available in HFGK Vol-III (1951-1960) this movie was passed by Censor Board on 14.07.1960.
This movie has seven songs written by Bharat Vyas and composed to music by S.N. Tripathi.
Here is the list of songs this movie has.
| SNo | Song Title | Singer | Posted On |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | He ripu sanharini… maata maata tu sabki bhaagyavidhaata | Manna Dey, Suman Kalyanpur,chorus | |
| 02 | Gori gori chaandni chamak chameli jaisi raat | Lata Mangeshkar | |
| 03 | Ho been waale teen sur tere been ke | Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh | 28.03.2013 |
| 04 | Meri preet ke geet rangeele | Lata Mangeshkar | |
| 05 | Prem panth ke dhang niraale … preet mein dukh hi dukh hai pyaare | Mohd Rafi | |
| 06 | O mere aansoo le le jag ko muskaan do | Suman Kalyanpur,chorus | |
| 07 | Garaj uthha aakaash hai … aansuon ki aarti liye | Suman Kalyanpur |
As we can see from the above table, only one song from this movie ‘Sinhaldweep Ki Sundari’ has been posted on the blog.
Today’s song which is sung Lata Mangeshkar is the second song from this movie to be posted on the blog. Lyrics for this song are by Bharat Vyas and music is composed by S.N. Tripathi.
This song is a nice song to listen to. Only audio of this song is available.
Let us listen to the song now…
Audio
Song-Meri preet ke geet rangeeley (Sinhaldweep ki Sundari)(1960) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-S N Tripathi
Lyrics
meri preet ke geet rangeele
le gayi qismat chheen ke
aaj saaj mere dil ka toota
bikhar gaye sur been ke
khaamosh huyi meri raagini
gham ban ke dans gayi naagini
khaamosh huyi meri raagini
gham ban ke dans gayi naagini ee
taqdeer jo hamse roothhi
to pyaar ki dori tooti
kya preet thhi meri jhoothhi ee
jo phool se bulbul chhooti
piya binaa ye praan
piya binaa ye praan
tadapte jaise jal bin meen ke
aaj saaj mere dil ka toota
bikhar gaye sur been ke
khaamosh huyi meri raagini
gham ban ke dans gayi naagini
sapnon ka mahal banaaya
aasha ka deep jalaaya
toofaan ka jhonka aaya
tinka tinka bikhraaya
0 aasmaan waale
o aasmaan waale ae
sah chuke dukhde teri zameen ke
aaj saaj mere dil ka toota
bikhar gaye sur been ke
khaamosh huyi meri raagini
gham ban ke dans gayi naagini
meri preet ke geet rangeele
le gayi qismat chheen ke
aaj saaj mere dil ka toota
bikhar gaye sur been ke
khaamosh huyi meri raagini
gham ban ke dans gayi naagini

8th September – Birthday of Asha Bhonsle
————————————————————-
There are 25 songs tagged as ‘Tasweer’ (https://atulsongaday.me/category/tasweer-song/) song in the blog. Some of the stellar songs have missed the tag and have given a miss to the tag of ‘Tasweer’. I have listed a few such songs which I can refer to off-hand:
Tasweer Banaata Hoon Tasweer Nahin Banti
I feel as if some more significant songs are missing from my list above as well as the tagged page. So, the list is incomplete.
A ‘tasveer’ is something which tells a story. Be it a still image, a painting, a motion picture or mural. Imaginary or factual, reflection in reverse or converse. Not always needing a camera to capture it, just a glance is indelible sometimes. Moments captured in memory forever.
Some old timers in the film industry refer to movie as a ‘Tasveer’. I have forever called movies as ‘picture’. We never went to see film or movie, it was always ‘picture’. Some convent educated friends referred to them as ‘movie’ and some Kendriya Vidayala aluminis called them films. This is my own experiences, not a comment on anyone word preferences. In Urdu print, it is ‘film’ and in Hindi it is called ‘chal chitra’ translated as moving picture. So, the films moved and talked and told stories. But to tell a story, sometimes a still image is also enough. Technically, film is a roll on which the reflections are captured. What we watch on the screen is a projection of images captured on film rolls.
On the other hand, sometimes the story a ‘tasveer’ tells is incomplete for being one dimensional. The scene, the background, lighting, the capturer’s intentions, all have an impact on the story it tells. Even a panoramic photo fails capture the photographer. So, the millennials invented ‘selfies’ so that they can capture their own stories.
In our times, we have seen numerous such photos which have made history, given cause to monumental events, made unknown non-entities of the world into famous people. Also, photos which captured the events for posterity, stills which make us wonder at the creativity and unfathomable and unrecordable capability of creator of such beauty, and fabulous natural phenomena. Over the decades, there have been photos of apathy of humans around the world, which made humanity hang its heads in shame. Glory, shame, pain, ecstasy, wonder, happiness, surprise, loss and victory and many more emotions and expressions are recorded.
The camera is mechanical equipment after all. It has no feelings, so no sympathy with the subject it is capturing. It also reveals things, the subject wants to hide sometimes. I must grant it, it is a capable equipment, it captures the expression in the eyes of the subject. Mischief, despair, jealousy, pain, love, gaiety, you name it, the camera has seen it all.
I am glad to report that sometimes in gathering of friends, we forget to take selfies or pics… then we lament it on whatsapp that we didn’t click any. Better leave somethings for the mind and heart to capture. Is there a hard disk which can store as much as a human mind?
The ‘tasveer’ category song being presented here is from the film “Basant” (1960). The following 11 songs of this film are already posted in the blog.
| Song | Date of post |
|---|---|
| Peechhe hat hat hat babu chhed naa | 4 September 2009 |
| Mere dil pe lagaake darling apne naam ki chit | 20 August 2010 |
| Raaste mein ik haseen | 4 June 2012 |
| Chori chori ik ishaara ho gaya hai | 3 October 2012 |
| Baaje waala Patiyaale waala | 31 December 2012 |
| Nainon mein sooraj ki kirnen | 14 August 2013 |
| Ukkad dukkad bamba | 15 July 2014 |
| Hamne unke saamne pehle to khanzar rakh diya | 2 July 2015 |
| Mere lahange mein ghunghroo lagaa de | 11 March 2017 |
| Duniya pakki four twenty | 28 April 2017 |
| O madam Nancy you are my fancy | 16 January 2022 |
Out of 14 songs of this film, 11 are Rafi-Asha duets and trio with SD Batish. Remaining 3 are solos by Asha Bhonsle. Incidentally, I have noticed that in the blog we spell the surname of Asha as ‘Bhonsle’, where as every where else that I can see it is Bhosle. Eleven duets in a film is a record, second such record is in the film ‘Halla Gulla’ (1954), where this same pair is singing all 9 songs.
Here is the song to celebrate the 89th Birthday of Asha Bhonsle, penned by Shewan Rizvi and composed by OP Nayyar.
Song-Jee chaahta hai khench loon tasweer aap ki (Basant)(1960) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Mohammed Rafi, Lyrics-Shewan Rizvi, MD-O P Nayyar

Lyrics(Provided by Prakashchandra)
milan ko main chalee
sudh budh sab bisraaye ae ae

jhaanjhan mori chhankey

nainon mein kajraa lagaayike
main to chali saj bann`ke
jhaanjhan mori chhankey
chali saj bann`ke
lahar binaa lehraati jaaoon…oon..oon
mann hee mann muskaati jaaoon…oon..oon
yaad padey jab piyaa ki batiyaan
apney se ae sharmaaoon
mann ki umangein chhupaayike
main to chali saj bann`ke
jhaanjhan mori chhankey

dhadhkan gaaye geet milan ke aey ae aey
joodaa mehkey choodaa khann`key aey ae ae aey ae
simtee jaaoon jis dum guzrey

jhaanjhan mori chhankey
chali saj bann` ke ae
nainon mein kajraa lagaayike
Buraa hai na gaana buraa

Today’s song is from the film ‘Road No. 303’ (1960).
This film was special in many respects. Let’s start with it’s title. Among the total of 3240 Talkie films made in the first 30 years of Hindi films (1931-1960), only 19 Hindi films had titles which actually had numbers in their Titles. The first one to have a numerical figure in its title was Miss 1933 (1933) and the last one to have it was today’s film Road No. 303 (1960). Just for information of our readers, there were 7 such film titles in the 1930’s (total films 924), only 4 such film titles in the 1940’s (total films 1191) and 8 such film titles in the 1950’s (total films 1125). There were hundreds of film titles having figures in words, like ‘Ek Thi Ladki’, ‘Do Gunde’, ‘Teen Batti Char Rasta’ etc. but numbers in titles were a novelty.
Secondly, this was the first Hindi film of the music director C Arjun. He started by giving music to the first Sindhi film after the Independence – ‘Abana’ in 1958. (The first Sindhi film ever in India was ‘Ekta’ (1940), made by Wadia Movietone, directed by Homi Wadia).
Thirdly, this was the first and the only Hindi film in which Mehmood and Shubha Khote were the leading pair. In all other films, they were in the side roles.
‘Road No. 303’ was made by Mahesh Pictures, Bombay and it was directed by Dharam Kumar. He was born on 26-11-1919 and had directed 14 Hindi films. His first film as a director was ‘Jalte Deep’ (1950) and his last film was ‘Truck Driver’ (1970). Dharam Kumar expired on 28-7-1993, in his 75th year. The 6 songs of this film were written by Naksh Lyallpuri (3) and Jaan Nissar Akhtar (3).
‘Road No.303’ is truly an obscure movie as no information is available about it on any internet site. This name too is not known to many. The film was produced by Ratankumar and Bhikhubhai. The story of film is….
Manohar (Maqbool) is murdered and his body is thrown on the Road No. 303 in the dead of the night. Ramesh (Mehmood), his younger brother who loved him much is devastated. Manohar was an honest Police officer.
Ramesh is in love with Sadhana (Shubha Khote), a young and educated daughter of Seth Deen Dayal (KN Singh) . Seth ji is a well known philanthropist rich man, running destitute homes for widows and orphans.
Ramesh starts finding out about the cause of murder and he learns that soon Manohar was to arrest a big person in society for some serious crime. Munna (Bhagwan) , a small-time pickpocket and a friend of Ramesh, also helps him . Sona (Helen) a dancer in ‘Red Lite Cafe’ is also in love with Ramesh and helps him.
Meanwhile there are attempts to kill Ramesh too. Finally, with the help of Sona, Munna, and Sadhana, Ramesh finds out that the murderer is nobody else but Seth Deen Dayal who runs a racket of trading women and children to Arab countries.
Sadhana is very firm and in the end Seth ji is arrested for murder of Manohar and for his illegal work.
The debutante composer C Arjun was one of those composers who never got what he really deserved. In spite of giving music to 22 films, he always remained a “lesser known music Director”. His best known film was ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’ released in the same year (1975) as film ‘Sholay’ of Ramesh Sippy and it did an unprecedented business amongst the mythological films.
His full name was ARJUN PARMANAND CHANDNANI and he was born in Karachi on 1-9-1933. After partition his family settled in Baroda. He inherited his musical talent from his father who was a singer. He became assistant to another Sindhi music director Bulo C Rani. He started his career with composing for a Sindhi film ‘Abana’ (1958) (first Sindhi film in Independent India).
His first Hindi film was ‘Road No. 303’ in 1960. Off and on he got films under nondescript banners with B/C grade cast. That he created memorable music nevertheless did not do much to change his fortunes. His teaming with the lyricist Jaan Nisar Akhtar would rank at par with the best of Sahir Ludhianvi’s composed by SD Burman or Roshan. He also composed a number of non film songs.
He gave music to 22 Hindi films, besides films in Gujarati, Sindhi and Haryanvi languages. Some of his films were, ‘Main Aur Mera Bhai’, ‘Punarmilan’, ‘Ek Saal Pehle’, ‘Jai santoshi Maa’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Karwa Chauth’, ‘Aankh Ka Taara’, ‘Lambu In Hong Kong’, ‘Ustad Pedro’, ‘Mangu Dada’, ‘Gunahon Ka Mandir’, ‘Nawab Sahib’, ‘Kanoon Aur Mujrim’, ‘Hamari Kahani’, ‘O Mere Jaane Jigar’ etc. His film ‘Susheela’ (1966), which was incomplete, was completed and releasd as ‘Subah Zaroor Aayegi’ in 1977 in which “Bemurawwat Bewafa Begaana e Dil Aap Hain” song sung by Mubarak Begum and “Gham Ki Andheri Raat Mein” sung by Talat and Rafi became very popular.
I still remember the interview of C Arjun by Ameen Sayani on radio in Binaca Geetmala program, a long time ago about the story behind as to how a popular song was written by Indivar and how it was tuned, for the film ‘Punarmilan’ (1964).
C Arjun said – “One day we (both me and Indivar) were travelling in a BEST bus while returning home in the evening, from the recording studio. Both of us were sitting on the same seat and the bus was packed full with passengers. After 2 or 3 stations Indivar saw that a young and very beautiful girl boarded the bus and she came near our seat standing in the middle amongst other standing passengers. Indivar was repeatedly looking at her time and again. After 4 or 5 minutes, Indivar asked me to leave my seat and offer it to the pretty girl standing besides us.
After a bit of hesitation I agreed and gave my seat to her. To my surprise, Indivar didn’t talk to her even once while she was sitting beside him for about 20 -25 minutes before she de-boarded the bus at one of the stops in our way. When I asked Indivar why he didn’t talk to her?. He replied today he shall de-board the bus with me at my residence bus stop & answer me when we shall reach my home. We de-boarded the bus at my residence. On reaching home Indivar said “My dear Arjun, thank you so much for offering your seat to her and letting her sit beside me and I have imagined and thought of some lines while she was standing and then sitting beside me”. Indivar there and then spoke those lines to me and they were “PAAS BAITHO TABIYAT BAHAL JAYEGI, MAUT BHI AA GAYI HO TO TAL JAYEGI”.
And then Indivar wrote this whole song there and then in about one hour and asked me to compose its tune the same night. We sat together after our dinner and composed its tune before we went to our beds late at night. Indivar stayed with me that night and left for his home next day morning.”
C Arjun died on 30-4-1992, due to a massive heart attack when he was recording a non-filmi Sindhi song in the Sterling Studios, Mumbai.
Sometime back there was a story that C Arjun started his career with acting and that he was the hero in film ‘Malhar’ (1951).
There is irrefutable proof available on Cinegems and Cineplot, that the hero of ‘Malhar’ was none other than Arjun Bakshi, and NOT C Arjun, MD.
Arjun Bakshi who had acted in some other films, including ‘Daku ki Ladki’, and Naujawan etc, was later a screenplay writer in Hindi films. He is the father of the actress Jyoti Bakshi (of ‘Bullet’, with Dev Anand). Jyoti and her father separated later and Jyoti had a very pathetic and sad demise, a few years back.
Few years back one senior member from RMIM group had reported that he had met Arjun Bakshi in a Music shop in Canada in 2003. And as written above, C Arjun had died in 1992. So, once for all it is clear, once again, that C Arjun the composer and Arjun the actor were two different persons. In addition, C Arjun’s nephew – Shyam Chandnani, who is in Dubai appeared in a music related Blog- Songs of Yore and commented that C Arjun had never ever acted in any film or visited Canada, in his lifetime. That was another final confirmation.
This film was only the second film – after ‘O Tera Kya Kehna’ (1959), in which Mehmood and Master Bhagwan came together. Today’s song is filmed on these two comedians. Though this was C Arjun’s first film, he had used Rock and Roll music for his songs. In today’s song he has tried a jugalbandi in Rock n Roll music with Bharat Natyam Music. Two duets were filmed on the lead pair. This song was quite popular in 1960 and many readers might remember it also.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this song was not yet featured on the Blog. Perhaps, it was waiting for me to write on it. Enjoy this duet featuring Rafi and Manna Dey.

Lyrics
bura hai na gaana

itna to jaan
kya cheez ye kala hai ae ae ae
itna to maan

bura hai na gaana
bura na bajaana

mathura nagar ki kunj galin mein
dekhi hamne dhoom re
hoye dekhi hamne dhoom re
arey murli ki vo taan raseeli
manva jaaye jhoom re
manva jaaye jhoom re
dil ko har ek naach jhanjhore
kathak ke yoon baaje tode
[Kathak bol]
bura hai na gaana
bura
o door dakhan mein jaakar dekhi
duniya sur aur taal ki
duniya sur aur taal ki
chhan chhana chhan baje manjire
goonje thape naal ki
goonje thape naal ki
dil pe jara bhi rahe na kaabu
bharatnatyam dekh ke babu
[Bharatnatyam bol]
bura hai na gaana
bura
bura hai na gaana
bura
sair sapaate karte yaaron
aaye jab punjab mein
haaye aaye jab punjab mein
oye naach vo dekha rang rangeela
jo na dekha khawaab mein
jo na dekha khawaab mein
boodha baccha loola langda
jisko dekha nache bhangda
urr yeeaah
un hun aahoon aahoon
un hun aahoon aahoon
un hun aahoon aahoon
un hun aahoon aahoon
o munde mard kamaiyaan karde
o o o o
hoy munde mard kamaiyaan karde
ke lachhi tere pal(?) na bane
un hun aahoon aahoon
un hun aahoon aahoon
un hun aahoon aahoon
un hun aahoon aahoon
bura hai na gaana

बुरा है ना गाना
बुरा
बुरा है ना गाना
बुरा
इतना तो जान
क्या चीज़ है ये कला आ आ
इतना तो मान
करते की विद्या है
बुरा है ना गाना
बुरा न बजाना
ये फन पुराना
बुरा है ना गाना
बुरा
मथुरा नगर की कुंज गलिन में
देखी हमने धूम रे
होय देखी हमने धूम रे
अरे मुरली की वो तान रसीली
मनवा जाये झूम रे
मनवा जाये झूम रे
दिल को हर एक नाच झंझोरे
कत्थक के यूं बाजे तोड़े
[कत्थक बोल]
बुरा है ना गाना
बुरा
ओ दूर दक्खन में जाकर देखी
दुनिया सुर और ताल की
दुनिया सुर और ताल की
छन छना छन बाजे मंजीरे
गूँजे थापें नाल की
गूँजे थापें नाल की
दिल पे ज़रा भी रहे ना काबू
भरतनाट्यम देख के बाबू
[भरतनाट्यम बोल]
बुरा है ना गाना
बुरा
बुरा है ना गाना
बुरा
सैर सपाटे कर के यारो
आए जब पंजाब में
हाय आए जब पंजाब में
ओय नाच वो देखा रंग रंगीला
जो ना देखा ख्वाब में
जो ना देखा ख्वाब में
बूढ़ा बच्चा लूला लंगड़ा
जिसको देखा नाचे भंगड़ा
उर्रर्र यीआह
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ
ओ मुंडे मर्द कमाईयां करदे
ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ मुंडे मर्द कमाईयां करदे
के लच्छी तेरे पल(?) ना बने
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ
ऊँ हूँ आहूँ आहूँ आहूँ आहूँ
बुरा है ना गाना
