20th May was the 34th remembrance day for Hansraj Behl, the composer emeritus of Hindi films.

In the history of Hindi cinema, only two music directors have had the distinction of being addressed as Master ji. The first one was Ghulam Haider Sb. Hansraj Behl was only the second music director to be so addressed. Maybe one of the reasons is that he always encouraged, mentored and promoted new artists. Many a singers and some music directors were given their debut breaks by him. Asha Bhosle and Madhubala Jhaveri started their singing careers under the baton of Hansraj Behl, and Bulo C Rani worked as assistant with him before getting independent assignments.

Hansraj Behl made his composing debut in Hindi films, in the year 1946. As per records, his first film released is ‘Pujaari’ (1946). In the same year, two more films were also released with music composed by him. these are ‘Phulwaari’ and ‘Gvaalan’. Rare films in their own rights, and very little is known about them. This delightful song is from the film ‘Gvaalan’, sung by Zohrabai Ambaalewaali (or Zohrabai Ambaalaa).

What does one say about a film named ‘Gvaalan’ (Milkmaid) that was released 1946, exactly 65 years ago? Obscure, unknown, rare are the words that come to mind. Looking for early films of Hansraj Behl, I came across a few songs of this film in my collection, that are undoubtedly rare – and not yet published anywhere. As per the history of Hansraj Behl’s films, this film is one of the three films released in 1946 for which this music director has composed the music. Going by this information, this can very well be his debut film. The other two films released in 1946 with music by him are ‘Pujaari’ and ‘Phulwaari’.
