Mein Ban Ki Chidiya (Ashok Kumar and Devika Rani)

Cute song sung by Ashok Kumar and Devika Rani from the 1930s film Achut Kanya. Though Ashok Kumar wasn't a great singer, the song has it's own charm. And Devika Rani was one of the
loveliest women to grace the Indian Film Industry.

Goodness!! A YOUNG Asok Kumar! He was a great actor but certainly not the "romantic hero" type. He seems to be more shy than the heroine here!

The singers are the same actors in the song- Devika Rani and Ashok Kumar - both singing with their own voices

The first love song of Hindi film music. It remained popular for about 40 years. Both Ashok Kumar and Devika Rani were bad singer still music director Saraswati Devi composed the tune keeping in mind their range. The song has only one stanza still mzing.

A great song of old time. O I remember many things in ACCHUT KANYA like the title music, song “KHET KI MOLI BAAGH KO AAM ,, MAIN TO HUN CHORA TU TO HAI BAAM” and the dialogues between KASTURI and PRATAB. Great movie of ASHOK KUMAR.

Where can I find this movie?I even wish to watch Jhoola(1941).But unfortunately now-a-days these movies are one of the toughest jobs

Ashok Kumar was hired by Bombay Talkies for Rs. 75 p.m. Gradually it was raised to Rs. 150 and then to Rs. 250 p.m. When he received Rs. 250 for the first time, he was so excited he could not sleep at night for fear that someone might rob him. He hid the money under his bedding and next morning deposited it in a post office. The same Ashok Kumar was getting Rs. 100, 000 for a single movie by mid-1940's (excerpts from an article in Ganje Farishte (Bald Angels) by Saadat Hassan Manto.)

In 1936, Devika Rani eloped with her lover actor Najam-ul-Hussain. Himanshu Rai somehow managed to bring her back but her paramour did not .The studio head Himanshu Rai called upon his laboratory assistant Ashok Kumar as Hero and thus began a six-decade-long acting career for that action.Devika Rani is also accredited for having acted in the longest kissing scene in the movie world with her husband Himanshu Rai in Karma (1933). It was 4 minutes long and very controversial.
