“Kavi”(1954) was directed by Debki Bose for sunrise Pictures, Bombay. The movie had Bharat Bhushan, Geeta Bali, Nalini Jaywant, Chandrashekhar, B M Vyas, Jankidas, Om Prakash etc in it.
The movie had ten songs in it. Six songs have been discussed in the blog in the past.
Here is the seventh song from “Kavi”(1954) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by C Ramchandra and Asha Bhonsle. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.
Only audio of the song is available. From the lyrics, it is clear that the song takes a light hearted look at the “fashionable” ladies of those days. Yes, women used to be fashionable and westernised even seven decades ago. 🙂

Lyrics
shahar mein dekha ek tamaasha

shahar mein dekha ek tamaasha
beech sadak ik naar
sainya ke sang chalee ghoomne
banee galey ka haar

chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
cigarette peetee dhuaan udaatee
rail ka jaise bamba
are mardon jaise baal kate
bhai naar hui ya khambha
cigarette peetee dhuaan udaatee
rail ka jaise bamba
are mardon jaise baal kate
bhai naar hui ya khambha
laal bahu ke gaal gulaabee
nain musaafir maar
musaafir maar
musaafir maar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
baabu ko vo kahe darling
darling
kahaan kee hai ye bolee
baabu ko vo kahe darling
kahaan kee hai ye bolee
lamb tadanga kurta pehne
na ghoonghat na cholee
ram ram
lamb tadanga kurta pehne
na ghoonghat na cholee
maal to desee chaal bidesee
samajh na aaye yaar
na aaye yaar
na aaye yaar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar
buree hai kya phir yaaron
apne raamlal kee maa
bholee bhaalee
seedhee saadee sada kare jee haan
buree hai kya phir yaaron
apne raamlal kee maa
bholee bhaalee
seedhee saadee sada kare jee haan
arre bachche paale chauka deke

balam sang pyaar
balam sang pyaar
chalee shahar kee naar ho chalee shahar kee naar

Today, January 5, 2025, is the 44th Remembrance Day of Ramchandra Narhar Chitalkar, popularly known as C Ramchandra as a music director and Chitalkar as a playback singer. He regaled the connoisseurs of Hindi film music with his melodious musical compositions in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the pioneer of introducing popular foot-tapping songs with western musical influence and western musical instruments like saxophone and guitar in his compositions as early as in the 1940s. At the same time, he was composing classical raag-based as well as folk-based songs. He was trained in Hindustani classical music for six years first under Vinayakbua Patwardhan and later Shankarrao Sapre.
Despite producing many melodious songs especially in the 1950s, it is unfortunate that C Ramchandra did not get any award – whether National Film Award or Filmfare Award as a music director. The first Filmfare Awards were announced in April 1954 for films released in 1953. But his film, ‘Anarkali (1953) was not in the reckoning for the best music director’s award. His film, ‘Aazaad’ (1955) and ‘Paighaam’ (1959) were nominated for the Filmfare Award in best music director category but did not win. But the fact remains that many of his melodious and rhythmic songs of 1950s are still popular among the current generation which itself is a great award to a creative genius.

To change our mood and taste from Asha Ji’s rare songs, we move towards my most favourite amongst all the playback singers in all languages, the Legend worthy of being awarded the Bharat Ratna, Mohd. Rafi Saab.
We will keep the discussion about the Bharat Ratna for another day.
‘Rootha Na Karo’ is a film from the banner of Nirmal Pictures, Bombay, directed by Sundar Dar. All the seven songs in this film are written by Hasrat Jaipuri. The star cast of the film is led by Shashi Kapoor and Nanda, along with Naaz, Rajendra Nath, Aruna Irani, Sulochana, Lakshmichaya, Jaishri Talpade, Saroj, Shobha, Tuntun, Mirza Musharraf, and Reeta amongst others.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

(Lyricist Kavi Pradeep-47)
—————————–
In our journey of bringing Kavi Pradeep songs on this blog today we add one more song penned by him. This song is from the movie ‘Veer Bhimsen-1964’. This movie was produced & directed by Chandrakant for Joy Films, Bombay. The video of this movie available on internet has the date of passing of Censor Board as 19.12.1974 which must be its date of renewal of the certificate. From it we can guess that the movie was initially passed by Censor Board on 19.12.1964 for its first run. One more movie with this same title was later released in 1985 (passed by Censor Board on 24.04.195). Kavi Pradeep was the lyricist for both the movies.

Today’s song is from the film Tulsi Vivah – 1971.
By coincidence, the film was also made by Tulsi Films, Bombay. It was directed by Candrakant (Gaur). The film’s music was by a “once upon a time” famous, but now at the end of his career, Music Director C. Ramchandra. Lyrics were by Pradeep. The cast included Dara Singh, Jayashree Gadkar, Randhawa, Azad, Abhi Bhattacharya, Anita guha, Rajan Haksar and many others. If only the cast names are shown to anyone, he will surely think that the film was a stunt/action film, what with names of pehelwans like Dara Singh, Randhawa and Azad ! I have seen this film. Dara Singh has done the role of Shiv ji in it. Whenever he talked, you would feel that he would lift and throw the person in front of him!!
