Baiju Bawra - 1952
Baiju
Bawra is an award-winning 1952 Hindi movie directed by Vijay Bhatt. It
stars Bharat Bhushan and Meena Kumari. The movie is based on the legend
of Baiju Bawra from the days of Mughal Emperor Akbar in India. Baiju
(Bhushan) is the son of a musician who also grows up to be a musician.
He comes to believe that Tansen, the famed musician at the court of
Akbar, is responsible for his father's death. The movie then follows
Baiju's attempt to avenge his father's death by challenging Tansen to a
musical duel. The film was both a commercial and critical success and
catapulted both its lead actors into stardom. Meena Kumari went on to
win the first-ever Filmfare Best Actress Award in 1954, the first of
four Best Actress trophies she won in her career. The film's music
director, Naushad, also received the inaugural Filmfare Best Music
Director Award for the song "Tu Ganga Ki Mauj"; this was Naushad's first
and only Filmfare Award win.
Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aai
Tu Ganga Ki Mauj
Door Koi Gaaye
Mohe Bhool Gaye
Jhoole Mein Pawan Ke Aai Bahar
O Duniya Ke Rakhwale
Bachpan Ki Mohabbat
Insaan Bano
Aaj Gawat Man Mero
