Begum CeRtainly meant no gham

Although I was aware of the fact that there was a film titled Patanga (which released in 1949), I didn’t know what the word meant. When I looked it up online, I read that it could be translated to, “Moth”.

And just as that insect is attracted towards light, Hindi film music buffs were drawn to the most popular song in the film – Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon.

It was penned by Rajinder Krishan.

C Ramchandra did not just compose the track, but he rendered it too.

He was joined behind the microphone by Shamshad Begum.
