Music Director Was So Broken By Deception Did Not See Any Film For 35 years | #foryou #Music Song “pankh hote to ud aatee re” was one of my favorite song since my childhood. No one can forget the Lata’s aalaap in the starting of this song. Probably one of the few song where “jal tarang” is used as a instrument. When i grew up and start noticing the composer of the song i like, i learned that this song was composed was “Ramlal”, but i could not get to listen any other song of him for a long period of time. Then i listened one more song of him from the same film (Sehra), i tried searching for him over internet. Unfortunately there is no information about him on internet. I got to listen few more song of him and i was more desperate to know what had happened to such a talented composer. This time i was more committed and inside 4-5 layer of google search pages i found some info about him, and i decided to share it through this post.
Call it fate or anything but the creator of such a beautiful song (“pankh hote to ud aatee re”) Ramlal Chaudhary did not get much chance to work in films. In spite of that whatever work he did was sufficient to prove his genius.
And who can forget following masterpiece. No words are sufficient to express the beauty of this song.
Song: pankh hotee to ud aati re (Sehra)V shantaram again used Ramlal for “Geet gaya patthron ne”(1965), debut film of Jeetendra and Raajshree (Daughter of V Shantaram).
I always believed that director plays a great role in bringing best out of his team including composer. V Shantaram had a great taste of music. Music of each and every film of him is a masterpiece.
It was him who again brought out best of Ramlal in “Geet gaya patthron ne”. Listen to the softness of this song.
Song: tere khayaalon mein hum (Geet Gaya Pattharon Ne)
Ramlal came to mumbai in 1944 and started working as assistant with composer Ram Ganguly for Prithvi theatre.
In 1948 he played Flute and Shahnai in many songs for composer Ram Ganguli in Raj Kapoor’s debut film as Director “Aag”.
Song:kaahe koyal shor machaaye re (Aag) As a independent composer PL Santoshi (Father of Director Raj Kumar Santoshi) gave him first break in 1950 for film “Taangawala”. “Taangawala” has Raj Kapoor and Vaijyanimala in lead. But unfortunately this film could not complete and Ramlal continued his activity as flute and shehnai player.
In 1952 he again got a chance and composed music for film “Husnbano”.
I am not sure how music of “Husnbano” did at that time, but after that what he did for two films of master director “V Shantaram” made him immortal among the musicians. Those two films were “Sehra” and “Geet Gaya Patthron Ne”.
Listen to this classic duet of Lata and Rafi from film “Sehra”. One of my favorite.
Song: tum to pyar ho o sajna (Sehra)
Why did music director Ramlal compose music for only two films?
Ramlal came to Mumbai in 1944 in search of work in the field of music. Initially he worked as assistant with composer Ram Ganguly for Prithvi theatre. For Raj Kapoor's debut film Aag in 1948, he got his first break as a musician while working under Ram Ganguly who composed the film music.

Lata Mangeshkar,Ramlal,Song Taqdeer Ka Fasana,Music Director Was So Broken By Deception Did Not See Any Film For 35 years,who gave ramlal first film as music director,bismillah khan,v shantaram,p l santoshi gave break to ramlal,music director ram ganguly,prithvi theatre,md rafi,lata mangeskar,asha bhonsle,mahendra kapoor,1921 birth year of ramlal,golden moments with vijay pandey,ujale inki yadon ke,Why did music director Ramlal compose music for only two films?
RAMLAL WAS BASICALY SHEHNAI VADAK IT IS SAID THAT HE WAS UNDER SPECIFIC CONTRACT WITH V. SHANTARAM. WHO DID NOT ALLOW HIM TO WORK OUTSIDE. AND SHANTARAMJI ALSO DID NOT USE HIM DUE TO SOME MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THEM. IN A WAY HIS CARRIER WAS RUINED BY SHANTARAMJI.THOSE DAYS PEOPLE HONOURED CONTRACT. IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME. HE DIED IN POVERTY.
But even after two such successful films, no one offered him work. His two next but unsuccessful films were “Naqab-posh” “Naaglok”.
After that he tried his luck in film making but again fate was not him and his partner left him and film could not be completed.
I am no one to comment on his genius but i believe he was a perfect example of the fact that only talent is not sufficient in life. He got chance in few films and made me write this post about him, but there must be lot many talents who could not even get a single chance.
Today Lata is considered God by many including me but there were lot of other talents in that era who never get the chance they deserved. My next post will be on those unfortunate talents.
