        Song:   Haaye chanda gaye pardes
                Chakori yahaan roh roh mare
                Roh roh mare
                               
        Film:   Chakori (1949)
        Music:  Hansraj Behl
        Lyrics: M R Bhakri
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Nalini Jaywant, ?


Music director  Hansraj  Behl's  death  anniversary  passed  last
month,  on  May  19.  A  couple  of  his  creations,  in  belated
memoriam...

A lovely song, one of Lata's early ones. The young,  sweet  voice
goes  a  long way in conveying the pathos of the song. I love the
way she belts out  the  'Chandaa'  -  the  passion  in  the  plea
instinctively  makes  you  feel sorry for the poor thing, whoever
the character is in the movie. Speaking of which, who IS  in  the
movie ? I couldn't find the casting through any of my sources.
