What an endearing song, and what a mellifluous voice. Such a wonderful gem of a song, from the first film for which Hansraj Behl composed the music. The film is ‘Pujari’ from 1946. This was the debut year for Hansraj Behl, and 3 films containing his compositions were released that year. As per records, this film is he first one for which he started composing.

Often repeated, and I will repeat yet once again. The B/C grade films of yesteryears may not have had the fortune or resources to get noticed by the audience and critics, and yet, as one digs into these categories of films for music, invariably one comes up with A grade gems with absolutely A grade music and lyrics.

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.

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’.

Yesterday I was unable to discuss songs because I was out of town. In these days of connectivity, I should have been able to have access to internet from most places. But that is easier said than done. The kind of connectivity that is needed for this blog and which I take for granted is a luxury that is not available in many places that I sometimes have to visit. As a result, I was unable to even access this blog, or for that matter internet itself. I am back after 24 hours, but it feels like I have been away for a lifetime. 🙂
