Tomorrow is C Ramchanra's death anniversary. Here is a song sung
by himself as a tribute to this great composer.
#129
Song: Dil Mere Ud Ja, Mohobat Ka Paigaam Le Ke
Bichhade Hue Saajan Ka, Salaam Le Ke Ud Ja Mera
Salaam Le Ke ...
Film: Roshni (1949)
Music: Ramchandra Chitalkar
Lyrics: Pyarelal Santoshi
Singer: Chitalkar
*ing: ?
In my scheme of things, this one is my all time favourite song,
and would rate THE best of Chitalkar. Sarangi pieces after 'Mera
Salam Leke Ud Ja' are very lucid, extremely melodious. Each
stanza ends with 'Mera Salam Leke Ud Ja' and same sarangi pieces.
He charges the song/rendition with feelings/emotions while going
little up towards the end of each stanza while singing 'Kehna
Unhe Jaake Mera Naam Le Ke' and other lines from respective
antaras.
I vaguely remember hearing a song of Shamshad (perhaps with
Chitalkar) from the film, but can't provide any detail. I would
appreciate more information from the film.
