Transliterations
have always been a funny thing when it comes to Hindi films and songs, and the
1949 film Bari Behen was no different.
When I first read it, I translated it to, “Acquitted sister”, instead of elder sister, which is what the film’s title translates to. And I wondered why it was not spelled Badi Behen.
Jokes apart, the only song from the film on this blog is Chup Chup Khade Ho.
It was rendered by the Didi of playback singing, Lata Mangeshkar, and Premlata.
Rajinder Krishan penned the track, which Husnlal Bhagatram composed.
