If one browses through the Hindi films made in the 1940s, it will be observed that there were many lesser known music directors who had tried their luck in Hindi films. My guess is that the number of such lesser known music directors in the 1940s may be a close to 50. Sadly, most of these talented music directors could not sustain their careers for long in the Hindi film industry. This blog has covered songs of many of lesser known music directors of the 40s such as Neenu Majumdar, Shanti Kumar Desai, Shyambabu Pathak, Madhulal Damodar Master, Ramchandra Pal etc. V Balsara was one among such music directors who started his career in Hindi films but could not sustain it for long as a music director. But he changed the track of his career and became a famous instrumentalist, orchestra conductor, a music teacher and the music director of non-filmy songs and a few Bengali films during rest of his life. I became aware of his name in the 1970s mainly for his beautiful compositions of some non-filmy Hindi songs.

Kyun pyaala chhalakta hai

Pandit Narendra Sharma came to the film industry after having excelled in the field of academics and Hindi Literature as an author, teacher, editor and publisher. His songs have a simplicity, yet they are woven with such chaste choice of words from Hindi language. Listening to his poetry and his writings from films is like a shower of fresh flowers – soft, fragrant and very pleasing to the heart and mind. The sounds of “Yashomati Maiyyaa Se Bole Nandlala”, (‘Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram’, 1978) or “Bhanwre Ne Khilaaya Phool Phool Ko Le Gayaa Raaj Kunwar” (‘Prem, Rog’, 1982), or “Tum Aasha Vishwaas Hamaare” (‘Subah’, 1982) are very endearing to the heart. And even before, looking at the earlier decades, the songs like “Mann More Huaa Matwaala” in the voice of Suraiyya from the film ‘Afsar’ (1950), and “Kahaan Udd Chalen Hain Mann Praan Mere” from the film ‘Bhaabhi Ki Choodiyaan’ (1961) come from his pen.

A lovely duet that has so far not made it to this blog. Two songs from the film ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Baat’ (1959) are already posted here. This here is the third song from this film. A wonderful duet of two hearts in love expressing desires to go together to destinations of happiness and love. The singing voices are of Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar. A gem of a song that is a wonderful memory from the days of listening to the radio.
