| 17875 | Balam mera baankaa ho mere dil pe daal gaya daakaa | Shamshad Begam | Kavi Pradeep | 28 June 2023 |
It is observed that all the songs in the movie were solo songs. There was one male solo song sung by Mukesh. Remaining songs were female solo songs that were sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Shamshad Begam and Geeta Dutt.
Only audio of the songs are available. So it is difficult to guess how and on whom these songs were picturised.
Here is the ninth and final song from the movie. This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. Kavi Pradeep is the lyricist. Music is composed by Manna Dey.
Only audio of the songs of this movie, including this song are available. So it is difficult to guess how and on whom this song was picturised. From the sounds of it, this song could be a nautanki dance song picturised on Cuckoo or Roopmala. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
With this song, all the songs of “Chamkee”(1952) are covered in the blog. This movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.

‘Chamkee’ had nine songs in it. Seven songs have been covered in the past.
Here is the Eighth song from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Shamshad Begam and female chorus. Kavi Pradeep is the lyricist. Music is composed by Manna Dey.
Only audio of the song is available. From lyrics, we can guess that a lady is telling her sahelis about her meeting with her beau. In keeping with those times, she does not take the name of her husband. She describes him as “meri nanadi ka bhai” or “meri saas ka ladka“. 🙂
I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of the song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.

# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1973-19)
——————————————-———————————————
In this post we introduce the movie ‘Mahaasati Savitri-1973’ on the blog. We already have a movie with the same title released in ‘1955’ represented on the blog.
This movie of ‘1955’ was introduced on the blog on 30.04.2017 with a duet song sung by Asha Bhonsle and Mohd Rafi.
Today we introduce the movie of ‘1973’ with a similar song viz a duet song which is an ‘expression of love’ song.
“Mahaasati Savitri-1973” was directed by Chandrakant for ‘Basant Pictures’. It was produced by Homi Wadia.
The movie had Jayshree Gadkar, Upendra Trivedi, Meena T., Ashwini Kumar, Amrit Patel, Balakram, Dalpat, Shri Bhagwan, Dinanath, Bismillah, Jairam Desai, Kagga, John Fernandes, Rani, Fakhruddin, with Sapru, Arvind Rahtod, Ratnamala, Arvind Pandya, Babu Raje, Sujata, Kalpana Deewan, Kumud Tripathi, Radheshyam, Himmatsingh, Prabha Desai, Anjali Devi, Dilip Dutt, Neelam, Ghanshyam Nayak, Neel Kamal, Gulab and others.

This movie was passed by Censor Board on 29.06.1973. (This movie is available online with its re-certified version of 18.08.1983.).
“Mahaasati Savitri-1973” has eight songs written by Kavi Pradeep which were composed by composer Avinash Vyas.

As mentioned above today’s song is an ‘expression of love’ song and it is a duet sung by Asha Bhonsle and Mahendra Kapoor.
On screen it is Jayshree Gadkar and Upendra Trivedi (hope I am correct) lip-syncing this song which is picturised on some beautiful outdoor location I guess, or is it in the studio set-up?
Let us listen to this sweet beautiful love song.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
————————————————————————
I had mentioned it in my earlier posts that many songs which unavailable on the internet in the past have become available in recent years. We sincerely hope that this trend continues keep. That gives us opportunities to bring all those gems of the yesteryears here on the blog.
Take for instance the movie ‘Veer Bajrang-1966’.
The first song from this movie was posted on the blog on 08.01.2016. It was presented by our Respected Shri Sudhir ji and the song was ‘meri aankhadiyon mein hai jo’. This film from the ‘sixties’ was till then considered as ‘lost’ and its songs were also considered as unavailable. However Sudhir ji, after lot of efforts got the above song and it was posted on the blog. I would request interested readers to read this article for the interesting story behind the posting of this ‘first song’ from ‘Veer Bajrang’ on the blog.
(During the search for other songs from this movie I noticed that one more song from this movie has been uploaded by Sudhir ji which, I guess, must have been waiting for his already ‘drafted but incomplete’ write-up planned for posting in future).
Today, another song from the movie is being presented as the second song to be posted on the blog.
“Veer Bajrang-1966” was directed by Manibhai Vyas for ‘People Pictures’. It had Jayshree Gadkar, S.N. Tripathi, Saudagar Singh, Indira Bansal, Babu Raje, Kiran Gunjal, Vishv Mehra, Shri Bhagwan, Sushma, Poonam Kapoor, Jagdish Kamal, Hari Shukla, Shyam, Karnail Singh, Pal, Kabootar, Dinesh, Ajit Soni, Ramesh, Feroz Kapoor, Pushpa, Meena, Zeenat, Sohanlal, Jeevankala, Baby Yamini Desai, Master Ratan and others.
As mentioned in HFGK Vol-IV (1961-1970) this movie has seven songs written by Kavi Pradeep and their music was composed by Shivram.
The list of singers includes Asha Bhonsle, Mahendra Kapoor, Usha Timothi and Shivram himself as playback singers for this movie.
Today’s song is sung by Usha Timothi. HFGK mentions thestarting lines of this song as ‘param prataapi apne prabhu ka …’ and then ‘mere liye saari duniya paraayee’…
However in the audio link available we have the song starting with ‘tan ki nagari, man ka mandir’…
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this movie and its songs.
Let us listen to this song which is the second song from ‘Veer Bajrang-1966’ on the blog…

meri hai daastaan hi niraali
jagmagaate diyon mat jalo o o
mujhse roothi hai meri deewaali
ye khushi leke main kyaa karoon oon oon
meri hai ab talak raat kaali
main jitna aaj hoon
utna na thhaa udaas kabhi
chaley gaye woh
badi door jo thhe paas kabhi
anaathh kar gaye
mujhko bisaarne waaley ae
binaa bataaye achaanak sidhaarne waaley
kahaan ho ae meri bigdi sanwaarne waalon
pukaar lo mujhe beta
pukaarne waalon on on on on on
Jhukaane ko aakaash mahaan

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
————————————————————————
# Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Missing movies of 1973-1)
——————————————-——————————
Today we commence our journey into the year ‘1973’ in our quest for ‘missing movies’ of this year on the blog.
As this year ‘2023’ begins it set the tone for ‘fiftieth year for the year 1973’. When we complete this year ‘2023’ it will be full ‘fifty years cycle’ for the year ‘1973’.
In the future posts on the blog we will be looking into the complete list of movie released in ‘1973’ and their status on the blog. We will keep adding those missing movies of ‘1973’ on the blog whose songs are available.
Today we introduce the movie ‘Baal Mahaabhaarat-1973’.
It was directed by K. Kameshwar Rao for ‘Venus Mahija Pictures, Madras’.
‘Baal Mahaabhaarat-1973’ was a mythological movie.
It had S.V. Rangarao, Anjali Devi, Nagiya, Chandrakala, S. Varalakshami, Shiv Kumar, Master Muni, Master Prabhakar, Master Shekhar, Baby Sridevi and many more child artistes.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 24.10.1973.
This movie has seven songs. They were written by Kavi Pradeep (one song) and B.D. Mishra (four songs). yricists name for two songs is not mentioned in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980).
Here is the list of the songs of this movie :-
| S.No. | Song Title | Lyricist | Singer/s |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | O re balmaa tu haay sun le meri baat | Not mentioned | Not mentioned |
| 02 | Bhaag jage Kunti ke us din jis din | Not mentioned | Not mentioned |
| 03 | Narayan teri leela navras sangam | B.D. Mishra | Manna Dey |
| 04 | Gaayen ham naachen ham | B.D. Mishra | Vani Jairam,chorus |
| 05 | Swaagat ho, gurudev ka swaagat ho | B.D. Mishra | Vani Jairam, chorus |
| 06 | Pyaare bade bhaiyya | B.D. Mishra | Vani Jairam |
| 07 | Jhukaane ko aakaash mahaan | Kavi Pradeep | Manna Dey, chorus |
Today’s song is sung by Manna Dey. Lyrics are by Kavi Pradeep. Music for this song is composed by S.N. Tripathi.
When I listened to this song today it brings back many memories of the mythological movies of yesteryears that I watched in my childhood. And since this was a song sung by Manna Dey there is a reason to present it here first.
The singing of Manna Dey and music of S.N. Tripathi bring back memories of many songs from the many mythological movie songs of those years.
I hope readers too will like this song.
Only the audio of this song is available. I think video of this song or the movie (in Hindi) is not available.
I would request knowledgeable readers to throw more light on the movie and its songs.
Let us listen to today’s song now…
With this song the movie ‘Baal Mahaabhaarat-1973’ makes its debut on the blog.

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #
———————————————————–—-
#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Remembrance Day-Kavi Pradeep 11th December’2022)
—————————————
Today 11th December’2022 is the 24th ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ of Ramchandra Narayanji Dwivedi whom we know by his pen-name Kavi Pradeep. He was born on 6th February 1915 and passed away on 11th December’1998.
I have written on Kavi Pradeep earlier on this blog and also mentioned how his songs-those sung by him especially- have an everlasting impression on me since my childhood. Later on as I grow and started my music collection I had bought the audio cassettes of his songs. These consist of both, cassettes of songs sung by Kavi Pradeep and also songs penned by him. After coming into the contact with this blog I have been increasing my knowledge about him, his biographical information and his filmography as a ‘Lyricist’ and as a ‘Singer’. I hope to present his full filmography on the blog sometime in the future.
Today on the occasion of Kavi Pradeep’s ‘remembrance day’ as a tribute to him I am presenting a song from the ‘1977’ movie ‘Aaankh Ka Taaraa’. This movie is going to make its debut on the blog today.
“Aankh Ka Taaraa-1977” was directed by Shantilal Soni for ‘Naag Devta Films, Bombay’.
Shantilal Soni was also the producer of this movie.
It had Sachin, Bindiya, Om Shivpuri, Bindu, Ajit, Baby Pallavi, Dulari, Manisha, Nirupa Roy, Bharat Bhushan, Gajanan Jagirdar, Gufi, Mukri, Abhi Bhattacharya, Manhar Desai, Tun Tun, Preeti Ganguly, C.S. Dubey, Paintal, Baby Dimple Saigal and others.
Story of this movie was written by Shantilal Soni who was also the producer and director of this movie.
Screenplay and dialogues of this movie were written by Pandit Mukhram Sharma. Editing of this film was done by S.T. Koorani.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 01.09.1977.
This movie had seven songs written by Kavi Pradeep and music was composed by C. Arjun.
Usha Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi, and Kavi Pradeep had given their voices to the songs in this movie.
Today’s song is sung by Kavi Pradeep himself.
I thought that we have run of the songs sung by Kavi Pradeep but still there are couple of songs other than the today’s song, sung by him and to be presented on the blog.
During preparation for this post I came across a song sung by him from the sixties too. But, for this post I want to stick to the seventies.
Following is the details of movies of 1971-1980 where Kavi Pradeep wrote the lyrics for movies and appeared as a Singer.
| Sr.No. | Name of the Film | Year | Music Director | Other lyricist for this movie | Kavi Pradeep Songs as Lyricist | Kavi Pradeep Songs as Singer |

| 18 | Karvaa Chauth | 1980 | C. Arjun | 7 | ||
| 19 | Baba Taaraknaath | 1980 | Neeta Sen | 8 |
(The above list of movies is as mentioned in the book ‘Kavi Pradeep Ka Hindi Sahitya mein Avdaan’ by Dr. Dinesh Chandra Awasthi. It appears in alphabetical order of ‘Devnagari Script’. Also additional information is taken from ‘HFGK-Vol-V-1971-1980.).
(Note: -‘Krishna Sudaama-1979’ which had eight songs was re-certified in 1980 as ‘Krishan Bhakt Sudaama-1980’ with eleven songs. (Three additional songs were added to the eights songs of ‘Krishna Sudaama-1979’.).
Let us now listen to today’s song sung by Kavi Pradeep and lip-synced by Bharat Bhushan in the movie. He is seen with children who seem to be orphan and blind in the picturisation of this song.
Also seen in the picturisation of the song is baby Pallavi (Pallavi Joshi) who seem to be playing the childhood role of actor Sachin in this movie (my guess).

Today’s song is from the film Naya Sansar-1941. The film was made by Bombay Talkies. It was directed by N.A.Acharya. The cast of the film was Ashok Kumar, Renuka Devi, Mubarak, Shah Nawaz, V.H.Desai, P.F.Pithawala, David and others. The music was given by Saraswati Devi (4 songs) and Ramchandra Pal (6 songs). The songs were written by Kavi Pradeep.
Though this was the 13th film of Ashok Kumar, it was only the 4th film of Renuka Devi. After working with Heroes like Jairaj, Kishore Sahiu and Pahadi Sanyal, it was her first film with the acclaimed Romantic hero Ashok Kumar. By now, Ashok Kumar had got used to acting, but his one problem was not yet solved. Like any new actor, Ashok kumar did not know what to do with his hands and he always felt very awkward and ill at ease while acting. He and his directors tried several ways, but this problem was not solved yet….at least till he acted in the film Naya Sansar-41.
In this film, his role was that of a radical news reporter of a Newspaper called “Sansaar “, run by Mubarak. This newspaper had become popular due to its forward and nationalistic thinking and the paper criticised the leaders, government and the administration for the wrongs they did to the people and the Nation. While doing this role. Ashok Kumar had to smoke. Not that he had never smoked, but he was an occasional smoker. While doing this role, he suddenly realised that this time he had not faced the problem of “what to do with the hands”. With smoking, this problem seemed to disappear automatically and his acting became very natural and more impressive. Even the director noticed this and encouraged Ashok Kumar. This was the beginning of not only the disappearance of his problem but also the beginning of his famous natural acting. He continued smoking till he breathed his last !
Mayanagri – Bombay – attracted people from all over the country. The film world of Bombay had the Glamour, fame and money. This appealed to people from every field- acting, singing, music direction etc. Film Industry mesmerised not only the ordinary, but even the experts in related fields. That is why Internationally famous Sitarist Ravi Shanker, Dancer Uday Shankar, Bade Ghulam ali khan and many other eminents tried their hands with films.
There were two types of Newcomers. One who came, whether successful or not, remained in the film line till their end and the second was Specialists who came , contributed their bit and went back to their comfort zones again. Some names in the second category are Pushpa Hans, Meera Mishra, Shakuntala Paranjpe, Madhusudan Bhatt, Bal Gandharva, G.N.Joshi etc-all actors,lyricists like Moti, B.A.( actually he was M.A.), Dr. Ramesh Shastry etc. Classical singers like Phiroz Dastur, Ram Marathe, Hirabai Badodekar, Manik Verma, Menaka Bai, Ira Nigam etc. and MDs like Kazi Nasrul Islam,Ali Akbar Khan, Allah Rakha, Mohanlal Aima, Pt. Amarnath Chawla etc etc. ( names are only indicative and not exhaustive.)
One name in this category stands out boldly and that is actress Renuka Devi. She came to films as a Hobby, acted only in 7 films, sang 20 songs in 4 films and happily returned to her married life again. A very strong mind and determination is required to forgo fame and money for something you love more in life.
Sometime back, I had bought one book and when I read this book – ” A woman of substance-Begum Khursheed Mirza”’ I was very much impressed.
Begum Khursheed Mirza is none other than the famous Heroine of the 30s and 40s-Renuka Devi. She was perhaps one of the most educated, upper class, sophisticated and highly cultured Muslim lady, who ever joined the film industry then. One more striking feature of Renuka Devi was that she was one of the very few actresses who joined films after their marriage. The other such examples I remember offhand are that of Meenakshi Shirodkar (Bramhachari-38 fame), Shobhana Samarth and actress Neena ( real name Shahida- first wife of Mohsin Abdulla, brother of Renuka Devi).
Renuka Devi had studied upto Masters degree in English Literature, from Aligarh Muslim University. The only other nearest example I remember offhand is that of actress Vanmala (real name Susheela Devi Pawar), who had done B.A and B.T. and was a Teacher in the college before joining films,at the behest of writer, journalist and Director P.K.Atre.
The story of Renuka Devi is quite interesting. Khursheed jehan was born in Aligarh on 4-3-1918, to Shaikh Abdulla and his wife Waheed jehan Beg. She was the 6th of 7 siblings. Her father Shaikh Abdulla (1874-1965) was originally a Hindu. He was the son of a rich jahagirdar and Landlord from Poonch,Kashmir. They were Kashmiri Brahmins. His name was Thakur Das. He embraced Islam in 1890, while studying in Aligarh. When his family learnt about it he was disowned by them. He took the name Shaikh Abdulla.
He became a leading Advocate of Aligarh. After he married Waheed Jehan Beg, they both- being of progressive thinking- decided to work for the Muslim womens’ education. They faced lot of resistance from the fundamentalists, but they established a Muslim women’s college in Aligarh. To provide students for this college, a school was also started for Muslim girls. Soon girls started joining the school and college. Shaikh Abdulla ensured that all his children were educated. One daughter became a Doctor, another Advocate and two daughters did master’s degrees and later on became Principals of the women’s college. Khursheed also studied upto masters but due to her marriage could not complete it. ( she completed her masters in English Litterateur in 1963, at the age of 45 years, later).
Khursheed jehan was married to Akbar Mirza, a Police Officer in Aligarh. Soon she gave birth to 2 sons. Her husband, Akbar Mirza, was a well-placed official in the colonial police force and she enjoyed playing the part of hostess and homemaker. At a women’s club fundraising event organized by her, a senior British official commented that she had a flair that would be perfect for a film career. This set the 21-year-old Khurshid thinking and when her brother, Mohsin Abdullah, told her about “the professional atmosphere at the [Bombay Talkies] studios and the charming Mr Himansu Rai and his wife Devika Rani”, she could not resist. She wrote to Rai enquiring about a job, even sending him a recent photograph. What ensued was a struggle between the claims of domestic life and the increasing attractions of an independent and lucrative career.
This she did without informing her husband. She received a letter from Devika Rani,inviting her to Bombay for an interview. Now she confided in her husband and he wholeheartedly supported her. Akbar stood by his wife in the face of stiff opposition from both their families. Precisely because she had anticipated controversy, Khurshid had adopted the screen name “Renuka Devi” but it could not protect her identity. In her autobiography she says, “My mother wrote asking me not to visit Aligarh until the hue and cry had died down. As a result, I did not meet my family for nearly two years.”
Thus started her acting career. She was 21 years old, married and had 2 children too. Her first film was “Jeewan Prabhat”-37. She was given the name RENUKA DEVI. This was the Debut film for Kishore Sahu as well. Bombay Talkies bosses were very happy with her performance and she was offered the Heroine’s role opposite Jairaj in the film ” Bhabhi”-1939. Jairaj was also from a rich background, cultured and highly educated. Their tuning was excellent and the film was a grand success. Renuka also sang a few songs in Bhabhi-39. When the news of her acting in films reached Aligarh,there was a hue and cry. Her mother wrote to Renuka,’not to visit Aligarh for now’. Renuka did not go to Aligarh for the next 2 years.
She was invited to Calcutta By New Theatres to act in the film, Dadi Didi-39. Her other films were Naya Sansar-41 (Ashok Kumar), Sahara-43 (S D Narang), Ghulami-45 ( Masood Parvez) and Samrat Chandragupta-45 ( Ishwarlal ). Her film career was very short. She announced her retirement from films in February 1944, while shooting for her last films.
After partition, her family migrated to Pakistan. In Pakistan, though in demand, she refused to do any films. Instead, she decided to devote her time for women’s uplift, education, welfare and social work. She also did some work on Pakistan Radio.
When TV came to Pakistan, she became very active and she was a popular figure on Pak TV for the next 15-20 years. She completed her master’s degree in 1963, at the age of 45 years. She published 9 instalments of her autobiography in the popular magazine ” Herald ” from August 1982 to April 1983, under the title ” The uprooted sapling”. This was later on edited and published by her daughter Lubna as a Book in 2004, titled- ” A woman of substance- the memoirs of Begum Khursheed Mirza “.
Renuka Devi died on 8-2-1989 at Lahore after a prolonged illness.
In her book she included a chapter of 24 pages ” Renuka Devi-my celluloid identity”, in which she has described many interesting anecdotes. Her detailed description of the times of the 30s and 40s is a lovely chronicle of the history of Bombay film industry. Here are some excerpts from her book…
1) Back in the Thirties, acting in films was not considered an honourable profession for anybody. And for a married woman from a well-educated and respectable upper-middle class Muslim family, it was forbidden to even think about it. But Khurshid Mirza, the daughter of the founders of the Aligarh Women’s College, the wife of a police officer and already a mother of two, was too free-spirited to be tied down by any social norm. She took the plunge and soon a star named Renuka Devi was born.
2) In 1939, Shanta Apte wrote that she received four or five letters each day from young girls wanting to join the movies “due perhaps to this monetary attraction”. Actresses themselves acknowledged in interviews that the money was substantial and more than one actress claimed that her salary rivalled that of the Governor of Bombay! But aside from several myth-building exercises, it is now apparent that film acting was a uniquely high-paying profession for women. According to Filmindia, Shobhana Samarth’s approximate total income in 1942 was Rs 36,000 while Sardar Akhtar, Naseem Banu, and Madhuri earned about Rs 30,000 each. These figures indicate that leading heroines of the day averaged an income of Rs 3,000-4,000 per month (some actresses were freelancers and did not work through the year) at a time when a French chiffon sari cost Rs 9, and a brand new imported Studebaker cost Rs 6,000. It is hardly surprising then, that Khursheed would want to make “a little dough”.
3) ” Akbar stood by me in the face of stiff opposition from both our families. Nevertheless, he maintained a strange attitude towards my work. He enjoyed the benefits the money brought us, such as a new car, expensive game-hunts, and pleasure trips to fashionable Mussoorie in summer and excellent schooling for our children. And, yet, he treated my work as a hobby, instead of giving it its due importance.”
( My thanks to the book, ”A woman of substance “, some information from ” Free Library”,Cineplot and my own notes).
I have not seen this film, but from today’s song, it seems to have been shot on Renuka Devi while playing a game with a child and his friends. Renuka Devi sang 5 songs in this film – 3 songs under the MD-Ramchandra Pal and only 2 songs composed by Saraswati Devi. Today’s song is by these two Devis together. ( In the early era of films, girls coming from educated and well to do families used to use the suffix of Devi to their name- like Sabita Devi, Molina Devi, Meera Devi etc. Girls coming from Tawaif families and singing families used to put the suffix of Bai to their names, like Jaddan Bai, Amir Bai, Waheedan Bai, Kalyani bai, Menaka Bai etc.) Enjoy this song.
