Chitra is Hindi for picture (used here as a synonym of film), gupt is Hindi for mystery and a, of
course, is the first letter of the English alphabet.
Hindi film music
buffs haven’t been able to put (R)afinger on the reason why Chitragupta (a
mononymous man, whose last name was Shrivastava) seldom composed the music of what
are called A-grade films.
But some of the
tracks he composed were wonderful. They included Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi, the sad song from Bhabhi (1957).
It was penned by
Rajinder Krishan and rendered by Mohammed Rafi.
