POSTER OF THE FILM
RAGA BASED PAINTINGS

The next movie which had a wonderful raagmalika composition was ' सुवर्ण  सुंदरी '(year 1958) . Its music director was आदि  नारायण  राव  and singers were    . रफ़ी  and लता  मंगेशकर .The wonderful poetic lyrics were written by Pt. भरत  व्यास . We must know that a raagmalika has at least four different ragas presented in a sequence . The first song was"कुहू  कुहू  बोले  कोयलिया, कुञ्ज कुञ्ज में भंवरे डोले  ,गुन  गुन बोले|| कुहू कुहू  ....|| सज सिंगार ऋतु आयी बसन्ती ,जैसे नार कोई हो रसवंती | सा नि ध म ध नि सा ग म ग म  ध नि सा रे सा नि ध नि सा ....| सज सिंगार ऋतु ...|| डाली डाली कलियों को तितलियाँ चूमे | फूल फूल पंखुरियां खोले, अमृत घोले || कुहू कुहू बोले ...||." beautifully composed in राग  सोहिनी . The second song was composed in राग  बहार ,lyrics were"काहे  घटा  में  बिजली  चमके , हो सकता है मेघराज ने बादरिया का श्याम श्याम मुख चूम लिया हो | चोरी चोरी मन पंछी उड़े, नैना जुड़े || कुहू कुहू बोले....|.".The next composition "चन्द्रिका  देख  छाई, पिया, चन्द्रिका देख छाई ! चन्दा से मिल के मन ही मन में मुस्काई , छाई चंद्रिका देख छाई || शरद सुहावन, मधु मन भावन ,विरही जनों का सुख सरसावन || छाई छाई पूनम की घटा , घूँघट हटा | कुहू कुहू बोले कोयलिया |" was presented woven in the morning melody, राग  जौनपुरी .This raagmalika was made to conclude with a sweet composition"सरस  रात  मन  भये  प्रियतमा ,कमल कमलिनी मिले |किरण हार दमके ,जल में चाँद चमके , मन सानंद आनंद डोले || नि रे ग म ध नि सा ध नि सा सा नि सा ग रे ग |सा रे नि सा .......||" composed in राग  यमन . Though Adi Narayan Rao was not a regular music composer in Hindi films ,but raagmalikas were his forte. He has directed music in very few Hindi films and he gave two raagmalikas,which are unforgettable.His another prominent Hindi movie was 'फूलों  की सेज'(year 1964) .We will talk about it later.
