Some time back I made a reference to  my  desire  of  starting  a
series  within  ATMJH on singing MDs. (And in that process made a
BIG mistake too :-)). Today I am starting that  with  Chitragupt,
as planned....

#25
        Song: Bhagwaan Tuze Main Khat Likhata Par Tera Pata ;
                Par Tera Pata Maalum Nahi...

        Film:   Manchala (1953)
        Music:  Chitragupt
        Lyrics: Raja Menhadi Ali Khan ?
        Singer: Chitragupt
        *ing:   Nirupa Roy, Manhar Desai

I wonder why unlike Ramchandra Chitalkar, Chitragupt didn't  sing
as  much  in  spite  of possessing a good voice. This song was by
large the most popular of his (IMO). It's about all the complains
of  mankind  to  The  Almighty! But in the different manner. This
looks little light song. And he did good by singing  himself  for
right  effect.  The  other  Chitragupta song which's popular in a
section is:

        'Good Bye Good Bye Tata Tata, Good Bye Good Bye Tata Tata
                Ankhon  Ki  Ulti  Patti  Palat  Do  Vanra  Padega
Chaantaa' !!

sung with Laxmibai. Funny thing is (in current  time)  they  sing
'Tata' as 'Taada' :-) (Sounds that way)

But what should make a KKlaner happy  is,  KK  has  a  duet  with
Chitragupt!!!  And a very good one.

        'Sardi Ka Bukhaar Bura, Baniye Ka Udhaar Bura
                Paise Ka Hai Pyaar Bura, Keh Gaye Kehane Waale'

This was in the same film Manchala.
