Albela (1951)
Albela was one of those rags to riches story that it was at once sweet and endearing. Bhagwan, besides acting in the movie in the title role, wrote the story, screenplay, and directed the movie. Music was by C. Ramchandra. Bhagwan was the first one to recognize the musical talent of C. Ramchandra and offered him to provide music for his film "Sukhi Jeevan (1942)." C. Ramchandra at this point in his life was heavily influenced by Western Jazz music with his favorite being Benny Goodman. Some songs in "Albela," such as "Diwana Parwana" and "Shola Jo Bhadke," had a mixture of many western musical instruments such as trumpets, clarinets, saxophones, drums (bong), and others. These songs, and most of the songs of "Albela" overflow with gaiety and exuberance. Even after 57 years, they sound fresh, proving that beautiful music stays young forever. Songs were penned by Ramchandra's favorite, Rajinder Krishan.
Here is a description of these songs and songs themselves ...
