Lyrics :-
ek chatur naar karkar singaar
ek chatur naar karkar singaar
thaade apne dwaar
jiya leke sujaat
ek palak maar
hans mora man leenho
ek chatur naar karkar singaar

ek chandra kiran chanda si baran
main to aaya hoon sanad
tore nek nazar
ek palak maar
hans mora man leenho
ek chatur naar karkar singaar
ek chatur naar karkar singaar

ek chatur naar karkar singaar
ek chatur naar karkar singaar
thaade apne dwaar
jiya leke sujaat
ek palak maar
hans mora man leenho
ek chatur naar karkar singaar

ek chandra kiran chanda si baran
main to aaya hoon sanad
tore nek nazar
ek palak maar
hans mora man leenho
ek chatur naar karkar singaar
ek chatur naar karkar singaar...

The third consecutive S. Mukherjee-produced hit by Bombay Talkies starring Leela Chitins and Ashok kumar (Kangan, 1939; Bandhan, 1940) was also Gyan Mukherjees debut. Two half-brothers, Ramesh (Kumar) and Mahesh, love the same women, Geeta (Chitins). Mahesh inherits his fathers estate (half of which belongs to Ramesh) while Ramesh works as a postman. Complicating the situation is the presence of Kamala whom Mahesh has promised to marry and who could now wreck his matrimonial designs on Geeta. [Source: Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema]
User Reviews
Jhoola 1941
40s Masala Rom-Com
An dying zamindar bequeaths his property equally among his two sons: the elder, irresponsible and hedonistic Mahesh (Shah Nawaz) and the dutiful adopted son Ramesh (Ashok Kumar).
Disgusted with his adopted brother, Ramesh leaves the house in a huff. He goes to live in a village called Jharnaghat where he falls in love with a young lady called Geeta (Leela Chitnis). Unknown to him, Mahesh too has a crush on the young lady. Ramesh is also unaware of the fact that his adoptive father was the zamindar of that village and that Mahesh had a love affair with Kamala, a close friend of Geeta who lives in Jharnaghat.
Predictably, there are misunderstandings and confusion until the inevitable 'happy family' ending.

Saraswati Devi.. Music Director
born Khorshed Minocher-Homji
1912 – 1980
Blast From Past: Saraswati Devi
Saraswati
The person who entertained thousands of music lovers with such enchanting composition of film songs and private ghazals was none other than Saraswati Devi the most distinguished lady music director of Hindi cinema and the first to introduce playback system for Hindi movies at Mumbai.
Saraswati Devi, born Khorshed Minocher-Homji (1912 – 1980), was a film score composer who worked in Hindi cinema in the 1930s and 1940s. She was one of the few female composers, working with Bombay Talkies, and is most noted for her score, Mein Ban ki Chiriyra Banke Bun Bun Bolun Re (Achut Kanya1936) she was the second female music director in the Indian film industry, after Jaddan Bai.
Born in a Parsi family, she had a love for music. Realizing this her father made her study Hindustani classical music under Vishnu Narayan Bhatkhande who was specialized in Dhrupad and Dhamar style of singing. Later she joined Marris College (later Bhatkhande Music Institute) at Lucknow and studied music.
With the setting up of an All India Radio station at Mumbai in the late 1920s she, along with her sister Manek, gave musical performances regularly. The programme, known as the Homji Sisters, was very popular with the listeners. The founder of Bombay Talkies, Himanshu Rai who was looking for a good classicalist for his movies, heard them on radio, got in touch with her, and invited her to visit the studio where she was shown the music room. He wanted her to take care of the music department and score music for his movies and Homji accepted the offer and took it as a challenge. Her first assignment was for the movie, Jawani Ki Hawa in 1935, starring Himanshu Rai’s actress wife Devika Rani. She had a difficult time making the actors sing and had to simplify the tunes and cover some areas with music instead of song as they were no singers and play back was still not introduced.
