Today’s song is from a stunt film Baboo ji-1950.
Oh my God ! Can’t believe it !! My 1200th Post !!!
Honestly, more than Joy, I am amazed how I have reached this stage. Entering this field was never planned by me. When I detached myself from working with my Pharma background finally in 2008 ( I had retired in 1998, but I ran my Consultancy Company till another 10 years ), I had no plans of what I was going to do in my free time.
After travelling with my wife all over India and most of the world, I decided that it was high time I learnt operating computers at least now. My grandsons were too happy to teach me how to use a Laptop, at my age of 71 years. The first Love, they say, never dies. My first love was old films and old songs. So I started surfing and downloading old known and unknown songs and made several cassettes. Then one day while surfing I stumbled upon” atulsongaday.wordpress.com”. I found a lot of old songs. I was impressed with the write ups and comments of readers.
I had many diaries, loaded with information noted down whenever I had seen a film – from about 1948-49 onwards. There were about 80-90 diaries, which I had carried wherever I was transferred during my career, at the cost of complaints from my family. I started using information from these diaries and making comments on this and other Blogs, Fb groups and sites. After some time I became a known person in the fraternity and my first post appeared on this Blog, after Atul ji encouraged me to write a post on a song from the film ” Savitri-1937″. It was posted on 1-10-2012. I realised that this was my second innings only when I was neck-deep in it ! Thanks to Atul ji and Sudhir ji – my first motivators.

So, it looks like that in 3882 days, I have written 1200 posts on this Blog alone.( my many articles are published on Sangeet ke sitare, Anmol Fankaar, Songs of yore, memsaabstory.com, Cineplot, Kalyan Music group, geetadutt.com and few other sites, blogs etc. and 2 books to boot !).
On this occasion I thank Atul ji, Sudhir ji, my friends on the Atulite group on this Blog and WA group as well as several visiting commenters who have encouraged and motivated me from time to time with their comments and appreciations. I would especially mention the name of Shri Harish Raghuwanshi ji for helping me whenever I needed information. He has been a pillar of my strength in this field.
Now, coming to today’s song and film Baboo ji-1950. Just because HFGK mentions it and the starcast clearly indicates so, the film is accepted as a stunt film. Its title otherwise sounds like a Social film ! The cast of the film was Bhagwan, Leela Gupte, Baburao Pehlwan, vasantrao pehlwan, Usha Shukla, Azeem, Mirajkar and many regulars. The lyricist was Ehsan Rizvi and the MD was P. Ramakant. The director was Master Bhagwan.
Master Bhagwan was a very hard working person. In the real sense, he brought in the wave of stunt films again in the late 40s. After the films of Master Vithal and Fearless Nadia waned in their popularity by 1944-45, it was Master Bhagwan, who established his own Production house-Jagriti Films and produced several stunt films. He had a set of actors and actresses, which included Baburao pehelwan, Vasantrao pehelwan, Azeem Bhai, Shanta Patel, Chanchal, Leela Gupte, Usha Shukla and Vitha Lokare.
The storyline for most of his films was also fixed.
Two young vagabonds-Baburao pehelwan and Bhagwan, come to Bombay in search of employment. One Sethji (Azeembhai ) appoints them to protect him from the local criminal (Vasantrao pehelwan). Sethji has a good looking daughter ( one of the stock Heroines), who has a maid (another girl from the stock). Baburao loves Seth ji’s daughter and Bhagwan loves the maid. After a lot of stunts and fighting scenes, the end would be happy.
The same story with changed names and other minor changes was used in almost all his films like Badla, Bahadur, Jalan, Madadgaar, Dosti, Shake hand, Matlabi,Bach ke rehna,Bhole bhale, Jeete Raho or such other films. The audience did not mind . They were happy with the stunts. (Did Nasir Hussain and Manmohan Desai get inspiration from Bhagwan in this matter ?). In almost all his films the songs and dialogues were by Ehsan Rizvi.
Luck is a funny thing. In this world it is difficult to say who will be lucky and when and on whom Lady Luck will smile. Lyricist Ehsan Rizvi’s case falls under this uncertainty. Born on 26-1-1914 in U.P., Rizvi came to Bombay at the age of 24. He was a good poet and writer. He wanted to try his luck in the films. How he got a break in films is an interesting story.
Master Bhagwan entered the film world with the silent film ‘ Bewafa Aashiq’-30. His first talkie film was ‘Himmat-e-Marda’-34. Initially,like all other Heroes, even Bhagwan used to sing his own songs. Once he had gone to Columbia company for rehearsal and recording a song. While entering, he saw a young man sitting under a tree and writing something. After rehearsal, he saw that fellow again and even after recording the man was still writing something. Bhagwan went to him and asked with curiosity what he was writing. The man answered, I am writing songs and stories. He came to know that his name was Ehsaan Rizvi and that he too lives in Dadar like Bhagwan. He took Rizvi’s address and left.
In 1938, Bhagwan got his first film as a Director- Bahadur kisaan-38. He called Ehsan Rizvi and gave him a scene and asked him to write dialogues. He came back with the dialogues. After reading Bhagwan was astonished. The scene started with one villager saying ” Ram Ram Bhaiya ji. Kaise ho ?” He asked Ehsan, ‘ being a Muslim, how have you written this?” He replied,” we start any work with God’s name. As your story is Hindu based, I wrote Ram Ram. If it was Muslim film, I would have written “Allah”. Bhagwan was impressed and he gave him not only this film but Ehsan became a member of his group. He wrote songs, story and dialogues of at least 25 films of Bhagwan.
After the fall of Bhagwan’s fortunes. Bhagwan himself advised him to work in other banners as he was no longer in a position to make films now. Rizvi wrote lyrics for 60 films, but most of them were B or C grade films. He however wrote dialogues and screenplay for some well known films like Do Ustad-59, Mughal-e-Azam-60, Woh kaun thi-64, Aan milo sajna-71, Gopichand jasoos-82 etc etc. He had shared the Film Fare award for dialogues of Mughal e Azam-60, with 3 other writers. He died on 16-1-1983.
Now coming to the MD’s name-P.Ramakant. P. Ramakant. This was a name used by C.Ramchandra, because he was under contract with Filmistan and could not give music in his own name. It started with Raja Nene’s film Shadi se pehle in 1947, in which he first used his assistant’s name Paingankar ( the joint MD was Karnad). His name was Ramakant Paingankar and was assisting Chitalkar for a long time. Later, for Bhagwan’s films like Bhedi Bangla-49, Bhole bhale-49, Babuji-50, and Bakshish-50 also, Chitalkar used the pseudonym P. Ramakant as MD. (information from Marathi Chitrapat Sangeetkar kosh by Madhu Potdar). For film Dussehra-56, N.Datta’s assistant was Ramakant paingankar, who was assistant to C.Ramchandra for a long time. He is the same person who tried his hand at being a composer himself in the late 40s. With Shyamsunder and Ramchandra Pal, he gave music to Urvashi-46 and with Lal Mohammed in Mitti-47. . Ramakant gave music to film Rupiah-50 independently. Then he turned to Marathi films. In his last days, he came back to Hindi films again as assistant to many composers.
It was from the film ‘Albela’ that CR gave music to Bhagwan’s film in his real name. Prior to this, he gave music to his stunt films as ‘Annasaheb’ and Ram Chitalkar.This type of use of pen names was followed by many MDs. GM Durrani gave music as Gunjan, SD Batish gave music as Nirmal Kumar. Snehal Bhatkar used several names like Vasudev, B Vasudev, VG Bhatkar and Snehal, before taking up another pen name Snehal Bhatkar for the rest of his career. Actually his name was Vasudeo and Snehal was his daughter’s name. Similarly, MD Nashaad also used names like Shaukat Hussain Dehalvi, Shaukat Dehalvi, Shaukat Ali, and Shaukat Haider. These are well known, but today I will tell you 2 pen names for the FIRST time on the internet ! Hardly anybody knows that Anil Biswas gave music to film ‘Begunah’ (1949) in the name of Haribhai. His co-MD in this film was Shyamu – none other than C Ramchandra. This information is given in the Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema by Rajadhyaksha on pages 67 and 190.
On this occasion, no wonder I have selected a song sung and composed by my favourite composer C.Ramchandra. The song is very good, a typical C Ramchandra style song. I am sure all of the readers will also like this song. Enjoy….
Song- Gorey gorey mukhde se ghoonghat hataao jo (Baaboojee)(1950) Singer- Anna Saheb (C.Ramchandra), Lyricist- Ehsan Rizvi, MD- P.Ramakant (C.Ramchandra)

#the Decade of Seventies – 1951 – 1960 #
————————————————————————
Today 20th April 2023 is the fifty third ‘remembrance anniversary’ of the legendary lyricist Shakeel Badayuni.
He was born on 3rd August 1916 and he passed away on 20th April 1970.
As a tribute to him, today I am presenting a song penned by him from an ‘un-released’ movie ‘Jitni Door Utne Paas-1960’.
Very little information is available about this movie in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1960). The name of the director is not mentioned. The details about the cast is not available either.
However, Geet Kosh mentions the list of four songs for this movie and the lyricist name is given as Shakeel Badayuni for all four songs.
Music for this movie was composed by C. Ramchandra.
Geet Kosh also mentions the name of singers as Lata Mangeshkar, Mahendra Kapoor, Chitalkar and Manna Dey.
Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by our respected Shri Arunkumar ji his comments on the first song of this movie. (I have only included the portion of his comment about the movie and not the other details about Lata-C Ramchandra combination and their relationship).
JITNE DOOR UTNE PAAS-1961 was to be a Raghavan production film in which, as per plans, the lead pair was to be Pradeep Kumar and Bina Rai. However, 4 songs were recorded and the film was abandoned after shooting few reals.it was never completed also.
One song from this movie ‘hamne apnaa tumhe samjhaa ye badi bhool huyi’ has been posted on the blog on 05.01.2012.
Today I present another song from this movie. It is sung by Lata Mangeshkar and music is composed by C. Ramchandra.
Lyrics for today’s song are by Shakeel Badayuni. We are paying our tributes to him today on the occasion of his ‘fifty-third’ ‘Remembrance Anniversary’.
Let us now listen to this song …
Only the audio of the song is available.

“Teerandaaz”(1955) was directed by H S Rawail. The movie had Ajit, Madhubala, Jairaj, Kuldip Kaur, Yashodhara Katju, Chanchal, Chandrashekhar, Helen, Gope etc in it.
The movie had six songs in it. All songs were female solo sungs sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Five songs have been covered in the past. Here are the details:-
| Blog post number | song | Date of post |
|---|---|---|
| 3647 | Ye haseen shaam gardish mein jaam | 13 March 2011 |
| 15061 | Badi bewafa hai udti hawa hai | 6 June 2019 |
| 16119 | Rehti nahin hamesha ye chaand ki jawaani | 27 December 2020 |
| 16265 | Maine rakh dee nishaane pe jaan re | 13 March 2021 |
| 17517 | Ishq aaya meri duniya mein to aise aaya | 4 March 2023 |
From the songs, it would appear that the movie was about a lady whose main purpose in life was to fall in love and sing songs dealing with various moods associated with love. 🙂 But no, that was not the case, the lady also played a masked teerandaaz and she championed the cause of suffering masses against a tyrast zameendaar. In order words, she played a female zorro !
Here is the sixth and final song from “Teerandaaz”(1955). This song, like all other songs of the movie, is sung by Lata Mangeshkar, penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed by C Ramchandra. My guess is that these songs are best enjoyed asstand alone offerings. The fact that only audio of these songs are available helps in that.
This song, the final song from the movie, is quite a nice song to listen to. And that was the reason why I had saved this song for the last !
With this song, all the six songs of the movie have been covered in the blog. So, “Teerandaaz”(1955) now joins the list of movies that have already been YIPPEED in the blog.
Song-Ae pardanasheen ye ishq kahin parde mein chhupaaya jaata hai (Teerandaaz)(1955) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra
Chorus
ae pardaanasheen
yeh ishq kahin
pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai
naadan kahin inn sholon ko
seene mein dabaaya jaata hai
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa
pardon mein abhi hone de jawaan
andaaz yeh teerandaazi ke
andaaz yeh sab reh jaate hain
jab teer chalaaya jaata hai
ae pardaanasheen
yeh ishq kahin
pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai
maana ke jabaan khaamosh rahe
aankhon pe magar kaaboo kiska
maana ke jabaan khaamosh rahe
aankhon pe magar kaaboo kiska
afsana-e-dil honthon se nahin
aankhon se sunaaya jaata hai
ae pardaanasheen
yeh ishq kahin
pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai
is aag ka bujhna mushqil hai
is raaz ka chhupna mushqil hai
is aag ka bujhna mushqil hai
is raaz ka chhupna mushqil hai
hote hain yahaan ghar mein charche
jitna yeh chhupaaya jaata hai
ae pardaanasheen
yeh ishq kahin
pardon mein chhupaaya jaata hai

“Teerandaaz”(1955) was directed by H S Rawail. The movie had Ajit, Madhubala, Jairaj, Kuldip Kaur, Yashodhara Katju, Chanchal, Chandrashekhar, Helen, Gope etc in it.
Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia, mentioned (while discussing a previous song of this movie that
The story of film Teerandaz-55 was about a masked Teerandaz who supports the oppressed janta against a Tyrant Senapati. The Teerandas is a girl- Madhubala.
The movie had six songs in it. All songs were female solo sungs sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Four songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the fifth song from “Teerandaaz”(1955) to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.
Only audio of the song is available. It is clear that all the six songs were picturised on Madhubala. So Madhubala, in addition to playing a masked “teerandaaz” also found time to fall in love and sing songs dealing with the subject of “ishq”. 🙂 That is how Indian movies are. No matter what is the core activity of the lead actors in Hindi movies, they would still fall in love, feel betrayed in love and sing lots of songs to express their feelings. 🙂
song-Ishq aaya meri duniya mein to aise aaya (Teerandaaz)(1955) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Rajinder Krishan, MD-C Ramchandra
ishq aaya meri duniya mein to aise aaya
ik jhalak deke chhupa chaand
andhera chhaaya
ashqon mein doob doob ke aayi hansi to kya aa
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
ashqon mein doob doob ke aayi hansi to kya aa
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
bulbul ne jab kafas mein thhikaana bana liya
angdaayi leke shaakh se phhooti kali to kya
angadaati leke shaakh se phhooti kali to kya
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
ro ro ke bujh gaye meri aankhon ke jab chiraag
ro ro ke bujh gaye meri aankhon ke jab chiraag
phir zindagi mein shamm-e-muhabbat jali to kya
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
jab zindagi mein koi tamanna hi na rahi
tab jaa ke dil ko ishq ki manzil mili to kya
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya
ashqon mein doob doob ke aayi hansi to kya aa
mar mar ke do ghadi ko mili zindagi to kya

Today’s song is from a stunt film – Bahadur-1944. This was one of those ordinary films made by Jagriti Pictures, Bombay, owned by Master Bhagwan. The film was also directed by Bhagwan and the film’s music was provided by his friend C.Ramchandra with an alias Ram Chitalkar. The Lyricist was Ehsan Rizvi and the cast of the films was Baburao Pehelwan, Bhagwan, Shanta Patel, Samson, Bhagwandas, yeshwant, Bibi, Surekha and Nirasha (what a name ! Her parents must have expected a Boy baby and she was born, hence she must have been named as Nirasha. My intelligent guess !).
Music Director C.Ramchandra was one of a kind composer. Though he had learnt music, to start with, he began his film career with acting and that too as a Hero ! His first film Naganand-1935, was made and directed by Y.V.Rao at Kolhapur. I wonder what he saw in this lanky, thin boy and made him a Hero. His heroine was a professional Tawaif singer from Kolhapur, named Azam bai. When I first saw this name, I was confused, because generally Azam is a male name. Later when I found out about her, I came to know that her real name was ” Vidya Pisal’- a typical female Marathi name. She was trained in Jaipur-Atrauli gharana by Alladiya khan and due to her expertise in singing, the station director of A.I.R. Bukhari gave her the name Azam Bai (meaning the Great singer).
Tragically, CR’s first film Naganand-1935 was a Super Grand Flop, getting only 5 people in the audience in the first show, as per his own account in his auto-biography. Obviously, there was no second show of this film as it was urgently withdrawn from the theatre. With this history of acting behind him, he changed the track and concentrated on music. Initially he was employed by Sohrab Modi’s Minerva Movietone and worked as an assistant to MDs Bundu khan, Habeeb khan, B.S.Hoogan and lastly Meer Sahib. During this period he learned a lot from Hoogan and Meer Sahib. Later he became an independent composer -starting with 2 Tamil films and then with his first Hindi film- “Sukhi Jeevan”-1942.
His career started with the help of his good friend master Bhagwan. As a gesture of gratitude, he gave music to Bhagwan’s stunt films whenever he was called. CR concentrated on social and musical films and used his newly acquired filmy name “C.Ramchandra”, while working for Jayant Desai. However, when he gave music to Bhagwan’s stunt films, he never used his C.Ramchandra name but used aliases like Ram Chitalkar for films Jayakodi and Van Mohini (both in Tamil), Sukhi jeevan, Badla, Mr. Jhatpat,Bahadur and Dosti. He also used the name “Anna saheb” for films like Bahadur Pratap, Matwale and Madadgaar. For the first time he used his popular name for Bhagwan’s film was for his first social film ” Albela-1951″.
Using aliases or Pen names was prevalent in the film industry. Some examples are Snehal Bhatkar using different names like V.G.Bhatkar, B.Vasudev and Snehal. Even Snehal Bhatkar was not his own name which he used for all his films after the film ‘Hamari beti’-1950 onwards. Snehal (Snehalata) was his daughter’s name. Similarly Mohd. Shafi used the name Shafi M.Nagari for 8 films. Composer Nashaad used names like Shaukat Dehalavi, Shaukat Hussain Dehlavi, Shaukat Ali and Shaukat Haidari. Actually, Nashaad was also not his own name, which was Shaukat Haidari. ‘ Nashaad’ name was given to him by Lyricist/Producer/Director Nakshab Jarachavi.
G.M.Durrani gave music as Gunjan, S.D.Batish used the name Nirmal kumar. Aziz khan and Aziz Hindi were the same person. His brother Hafiz Khan was later known as Khan Mastana. There may be some more examples. I have described only the well known aliases. In this matter, here is an absolutely unknown case which hardly anyone knows and I too have never read about it in any book, magazine or on any site etc. The case is of Anil Biswas. He gave music to the film ” Begunah”-1949 in the name of ‘ Haribhai’. His co-MD for this film was Shyamoo, who was none other than C.Ramchandra. CR also gave music to the film ‘ Yeh hai zindagi’ as Shyamoo. This information is given in Ashish Rajadhyaksha’s book Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema, on pp 67 and 190.
One of the names in the cast of today’s film is Yeshwant. Normally hardly anything is ever known about artistes working in Stunt films. Today, however, let us know more about this yeshwant (Dave). There was yet another yeshwant (Bhatt), who was a singer. More about him sometime later.
It was not uncommon during the days of early cinema for people to hang around studios and filming locations in the hopes of being discovered. One such intrepid soul was Yeshwant Dave (or Yashwant Dave), who was at Kohinoor Studios observing a picture being made by producer J.B.H. Wadia. The handsome and athletic Yeshwant cornered Wadia, insisting that he would make a fine hero for an action film.
Wadia agreed to test Yeshwant by having him jump from the roof of one set piece to another. He did so successfully, and J.B.H. decided to cast him in a film that he was to direct for Young United Players, the 1931 silent THUNDERBOLT (aka DILER DAKU) featuring Mumtaz as the heroine.
Yashwant was again directed by Wadia in TOOFAN MAIL (1932) and there after became a sought after action star appearing in the stunt films of other directors like Aspi, Dhirubhai Desai, Nari Ghadiali, Chunilal Parekh, and Harshadrai Mehta. Some of his films include BHARAT VEER (1932), JADUI JUNG (1934), BOMBSHELL (1935), VASANTBENGALI (1937), FLYING RANEE (1939), MAGIC CITY (1940), TORPEDO (1941), BAHADUR (1944), ROYAL MAIL (1946), and KAUN PARDESI (1947).
Growing out of the stunt hero persona, he turned to character parts and made infrequent onscreen appearances throughout the 1950s, including in SHEIKH CHILLI and MAKKHEE CHOOS both released in 1956 and starring comedian Bhagwan. What became of Yeshwant Dave afterwards is anybody’s guess, as the once popular action star faded into obscurity and, sadly, is barely remembered today.
Today’s song is a duet, sung by Chitalkar and Hameeda Banu.

But it appears that the main singers for this movie were C Ramchandra and Lalita Dewoolkar, apart from Shamshad Begam. C Ramchandra sang four songs whereas Lalita Dewoolkar and Shamshad Begam got to sing in three songs each.
The tenth and final song from the movie is a solo song sung by Lalita Dewoolkar. It is penned by P L Santoshi. Music is composed by C Ramchandra.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.

Lyrics
nazar ke saamne ae

mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye

tumhaare saath jeene ki
tamanna thhi huyi rukhsat
agar ab zindagi ki shaam
aa jaaye to achchaa ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye
to achchha ho
mubaarak ho tujhi ko
ab khushi ke jaam ae duniya
mubaarak ho tujhi ko
ab khushi ke jaam ae duniya
yahaan to zehar ka ik jaam
aa jaaye to achchha ho
yahaan to zehar ka ik jaam
aa jaaye to achchha ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paighaam aa jaaye
to achchha ho
