“Husn Ka Chor” (1953) is not a movie that too many people have heard of. It was a quintessential B grade movie. Information about such movies are conspicuous by their absence on internet.
Thankfully we have Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh, our own walking encyclopaedia on these matters. He has all the lowdown on this movie that we may ever need. Here is his take on this obscure movie:
HUSN KA CHOR(1953) was a Basant pictures(earlier Wadia Movitone) film produced and directed by JBHWadia. He also wrote its story, screenplay, dialogues and one Lyric in the film.
Wadia movietone,known for fantasy and stunt films,always made new stories from rehashing old stories from Arabian Nights. This was also one such movie.
The lead pair was Mahipal and Usha Kiron,supported by Arti, Sharada, Lalita Kumari, Bhagwan,Dalpat, Gulab, Chanda etc. One speciality of Wadias was that in their films, the credits list used to be very lengthy ,as they were keen on writing almost every small actors names also.
Qamar(Mahipal) was a compulsive thief. Once he steals Princess Husn’s(Usha Kiran) jewels,but he is so dazed by her beauty and innocence that he returns her jewels. When several foreign Princes come to propose to her,he also goes there by disguising as a prince.Husn selects him,but the sectret is revealed by Nadira(Lalita Kumari),a dancer who loves Qamar &could not digest his selection by Husn. Qamar is put in Jail,from where he is rescued by Nadira and friends. One Faqir tells Qamar to become real prince to win Husn.Qamar sets out on a magic flying horse to meet Moon Fairy to get the Magic wish bowl.The Moon fairy is rescued by him from the custody of evil genie by killing the genie.
Meanwhile Husn’s father faces mutiny and death if Husn is not married to the Vazir.Qamar arrives on flying carpet and takes away Husn to the Moon.
The End.At the last scene this line is Flashed ” Heaven dwells in pure Hearts “.
It was a great fun to watch such types of movies.The audience also participated in the ongoings on the screen by appropriately, scolding, encouraging or clapping loudly. There was no need to think logically.It was pure entertainment, and timepass.
Here is a song from this movie that is nearly as obscure as the movie itself. This song is sung by Sadhya Mukherjee, who is a big name in Bangla movies, but who only sang sporadically in Hindi movies. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Bulo C Rani.
While noting down the lyrics, I got stck in one line and was unable to get it right. I request our readers with keener ears to help me out in getting this line right.
Song-O jaane waale kisi ka salaam leta jaa (Husn Ka Chor) (1953) Singer-Sandhya Mukherjee, Lyrics-Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, MD-Bulo C Rani
Lyrics
O jaane waale
o jaane waale
o jaane waale
kisi ka salaam leta jaa
har ashq kehta hai
dil ka payaam leta jaa
jaane waale
o jaane waale
o jaane waale
kisi ka salaam leta jaa
tere baghair
tere baghair
mohabbat ki aabroo na rahegi
teri judaai mein jeene ki aarzoo na rahegi
jo dee thhin toone wo khushiyaan
tamaam letaa jaa
jaane waale
o jaane waale
o jaane waale
kisi ka salaam leta jaa
har ashq kehta hai
dil ka payaam leta jaa
o jaanewaale
ae ae
o jaanewaale
kyaa tujhe
ye husn ye ishq jawaani doon
raah e ishq mein tu bataa
raah e ishq mein tu bataa
kyaa tujhe nishaani doon
dil mein chhupa ke
muhobbat ka naam leta jaa
jaane waale
o jaane waale
o jaane waale
kisi ka salaam leta jaa
har ashq kehta hai
dil ka payaam leta jaa
