This is Second Part of Memorable Songs of Lata Mangeshkar during our micro-revisit of the ‘Best songs of 1950: And the winners are?.
In the First Part, we had a look at Lata Mangeshkar Songs of C Ramchandra. We now look at Lata Mangeshakar’s Memorable Songs of 1950 under two other music directors who also seemed to have accepted Lata Mangeshkar as the principal female playback singer.
Husnlal Bhagatram’s Lata Mangeshkar songs :
1. Ban ke suhagan rahi abhagan – Aadhi Raat: – Sarshar Sailani
2. Rona hi likha tha qismat mein – Aadhi Raat: – Khumar Barabanqvi
3. Dil hi to hai tadap gaya dard se bhar na aaye kyun – Aadhi Raat – Asad Bhopali
4. Agar dil kisi se lagaya na hota– Gauna – Qamar Jalalabadi
5. Tujhe barbaad karna tha.. haye dil bhi diya to kisko diya – Meena Bazaar – Qamar Jalalabadi
6. Dard-e-Judai Hai – Chhoti Bhabhi
Ghulam Mohammad’s Lata Mangeshkar songs :
1. Raat hai taaron bhari chhitaki hui chaandni – Pardes– Shakeel Badayuni
2. Janewale tujhe hum yaad kye jayenge – Pardes – Shakeel Badayuni

Gems all of them! HB songs are where Lata sounds the youngest!
It was really very surprising (and reluctantly quite unfortunate) that Husnlal Bhagatram did not get as much recognition as other (so called) successful music directors in the 50s.
They had everything that a food film music directors need – sense of composition, tune, capitalizing on the strengths of the singer, play of words, a wide repertoire of catchment ideas, excellent working relationship with a fairly large number of front-ranking production houses, acceptance by most of the leading actor0actresses and a fairly large number of songs that used to remain on top of hit charts.
That is the fickleness of Hindi Film Industry!
true that. at the same time it is also important to remember that with time their real worth too gets recognised as the politics of yester years gets clearer in front of us. as people say “history is the best judge”!
Well-said…..
Ashokji,
Another nice effort, extending what I have done on SoY. On HB, one reason was monotony of their orchestration. Their protégés SJ started with similar orchestration, but expanded their range, and ran away with HB’s mantle. Another comment I have read at more than one sources that Husnlal could not keep professional from personal apart, in relation to Lata Mangeshkar. It seems he was briefly in her life prior to CR. Arunkumar Deshmukhji should be able to throw some light on this.

Both the possible reasons that you extend – getting stereotyped and mixing up professional life with personal life – do seem to have played significant role in limiting the career of HB.
Well, had they had an extended run, HFM could certainly have benefited.
