  • after long time, devika rani acted in Pakistan television play in 1975... here in pakistan we know her as Begum khurshed Mirza.. she was very dignified lady...glad to see her in her youth ... thanks for sharing this video...can you pl upload songs from Tansen... these are my parent's fav songs

  • @MrAyahya Was it like those days when artists of the sub-continent used to adapt names given to them by film industry mavericks?

  • @MrAyahya You are talking about Renuka Devi dot Devika Rani.Renuka Devi was originally Begum Khurshid Mirza who changed her name to act in films.She was from Aligarh and later migrated to Pakistan.

  • @yogibeer44 Mr Ayahya please visit Wikipedia, Devika Rani Chaudhuri Roerich (30 March 1908 – 9 March 1994) She married Russian painter Svetoslav Roerich in 1945. She left films and joined her husband in Bangalore in their sprawling estate, where she lived till her death in 1994. In 1958, the President of India honoured Devika Rani with a Padma Shri. In 1970, she became the first recipient of the prestigious film prize, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award.

  • Achhut Kanya's story could be considered as a very modern story considering the time period it was made. I don't know much but know this for sure that it was the first movie of Ashok Kumar and the story is about a couple in love (the girl from a lower caste and the boy from an upper caste). Making a movie on such a sensitive issue (once again considering the time period) is truly admirable. Hats off to the entire film making team and "SAMJHAVE" for uploading this masterpiece.

  • hey sir ! this movie is not legend ashok kumar's first movie, he acted in film JEEVAN NAIYA before achute kanaya,

  • Thanks alot for sharing this old gem.

    This and other songs from the movie

    "Achute Kanya" are still my parents who are now in their late 80's favourite.

    and of course mine as well.

    Your efforts are GREATLY appreciated

    best wishes,

    Jayant

  • beautiful

  • can someone tell me if GOI is preseneving the old songs like these anywhere?

  • Bravo Devika Ranee. You were one of the best from Simala..

  • This is the woman who introduce Dilip kumar for the 1st time in her movie jawar bhata and change the trend of indian cinema for ever.

  • How come Dilip kumar's introduction change the trend of indian cinema!!!??? Are you saying this for obvious reasons based on your name?

  • I am sure ur comment is some what based on ur name. Ur whole indian cinema accept it, From Rajhindir Kumar to amitabh to sharukh khan.

  • Whatever!!!! I am sure no one even remembers that Dilip Kumar. Such a cheapskate he is, that when Kargil attack happened, he begged audience with Vajpayee that he wanted to keep his Nishan e Pakistan with him. Such a disgusting figure.

  • wait, should I argue with u or not. U are senseless completly. Why u involve politics here? here we are talking about acting which he used to do in past, before nishani imtiaz.

  • I still dont understand y dilip kumar had to be forced into this forum when ppl r discussing devika rani. Anyway I know he is selfish and you know what he did to madhubala...

  • I wonder whether the Indian film field ever produced a more attractive heroine than this.

    Thank you SO much for this Lovely song, ji. Your channel is one of the best I have seen in youtube.
