This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Taansen (1943), a Ranjit Movietone productions, is rated as one of the major hit movies of Saigal Saab, right up there with Devdas, Yahudi Ki Ladki an Street Singer. True to the primary subject, this film is a musical bonanza of the first order. Directed by Jayant Desai, the film carried music compositions by the great Khemchand Prakash. There are 13 songs in this film, and the lyrics are shared between DN Madhok and Pt. Indra.

I generally describe the songs in this blog as Bollywood movie songs, using “Bollywood movie” as a catchall phrase to describe all Hindi movies. Bollywood was a term that was coined for Bombay’s Hindi movies industry. But in reality, Bombay was not the only place where such movies were made.

“Sheikh Chilli” (1956) was what was then regarded as a B grade movie. But the movie appears quite A grade in its overall quality.

This is a rare song, and a fabulous song. In fact, for long I was thinking of posting this song as one of my century scoring songs ( yes, I am approaching another century), but then I decided that there are far too many great songs lying there and if I keep them in abeyance waiting for them to be posted as century making songs then I may have to wait far too long.
