Balkhati Ithlati Aayee Hai Sham

Balkhati Ithlati Aayee Hai Sham- Lata Mangeshkar-Film Jhamela 1953- Lyricist Rajendra Krishna- Music C.Ramchandra.

Jhamela (Problem) is a 1953 Hindi comedy thriller film produced and directed by Bhagwan, for his Bhagwan Art Productions. The film was a repeat formula Bhagwan had earlier used in his commercially successful film Albela (1951). Albela with its "rumba-samba beats" in the composition of music director C. Ramchandra's songs, its comedy, and melodramatic story, had turned out to be an "all-time hit". With music again composed by C. Ramachandra, and casting actress Geeta Bali, Bhagwan tried to recreate the magic of Albela with little success. The film was termed a "semi-hit" at the box-office. It starred Geeta Bali, Bhagwan, Shakuntala, Sunder, Anwar Hussain and Badri Prasad.

Although the film did not get the popularity, it's music was spectacular. Like Jhanjhar and Shagoofa, the magic of Lata-CR combination was visible in the film. Since the film was produced under Bhagwan Art Productions and Bhagwan Dada himself was Hero of the film, composer C.Ramchandra sang eight out of Eleven songs .His voice perfectly suited for Bhagwan Dada. Invariably these songs were peppy and comedy songs. However it is Lata's solo songs, that remain itched in the mind of listener. Lata's honey dripping tender voice and C.Ramchandra's lilting tunes make these songs memorable . The videos of these songs are not available even on you tube. As confirmed by Bhagwan dada the reels of the film were burnt.
