Searching for the early songs of Chitragupt, I found this wonderful duet that I had not heard before. This from the film ‘Shoukeen’ from 1949. The film is produced under the banner of Gautam Chitra, Bombay, and is directed by Nanabhai Bhatt. This is another stunt film that came the way of Chitragupt for music direction. The star cast of this film includes Bhagwan, Baburao, Chand Barq, Kanta, Yunus, Nadir, Baalaram, Seetaram. And the dog Moti once again has a place in the credits.

Just out of curiosity, I scanned the blog, for the listing of songs that have been composed by Chitragupt. And I find a peculiar thing. As a composer, Chitragupt started his career in 1946, and continued to be active till the early 80s. On the blog we have just about a dozen of his songs listed, for the first 10 years of his career (1946-1955), with no songs listed for the first four years i.e. from 1946 to 1949. When I tried to check online, I find that actually very little of his works are available online from this period. But still there are some. And I will try to post some of them over the coming few days.
