#224         Song: Ritu Aaye, Ritu Jaaye Sakhiri Man  Ka  Mit  Na
Aaye

        Film:   Hamdard   (1953)           Music:  Anil    Biswas
        Lyrics: Prem   Dhawan           Singer: Manna   De,  Lata
Mangeshkar         *ing:   Nimmi, Shekhar

This was Anila's  third  production  (?).  This  particular  song
attained huge popularity. I guess, this one is first song of it's
kind in film music. This genre is better known by song 'Kuhu Kuhu
Bole  Koyaliya'   --  A raagmala. I find this one better than any
other such experiments.  This  raagmala  employs  Khayal  ang  of
classical  rendition  and  has  four  different raags in it: Gaud
Saarang, Gaud Malhaar, Jogiya and Bahaar; in  that  order.  Great
composition indeed.
