Dey was super se Upar

The song from Mashaal (1950) went, “Upar gagan vishal, neeche gehra pataal. Beech mein dharti, wah mere malik tune kiya kamaal” [Above is the vast sky, beneath is the deep netherworld. The earth is in between. (An exclamation of surprise) My creator, you’ve done a wonderful thing.]

And what made it special was the trio associated with it. It was penned by Ramchandra Narayanji Dwivedi (better known as Kavi Pradeep), composed by Sachin Dev (S D) Burman and sung by Prabodh Chandra Dey (aptly known as Manna Dey, because he did possess a heavenly voice).
