MORA GORA ANG LAI LE

'Mora Gora Ang Lai Le' The birth pangs of the my first film song 'Mora Gora Ang Lai Le' started when Bimalda (Bimal Roy) and Sachinda(S.D. Burman) explained the 'song situation' to me, Kalyani (Nutan) secretly admires Vikas (Ashok Kumar), and one night after winding up the kitchen work, she comes out humming this song.

Bimalda put a stop to it right there: this 'character’ cannot step outside the house, singing, he said. Sachinda raised his eyebrows: If she doesn't go out then how is she is going to sing in front of the father?

Bimalda argued: If she can listen to her father's Vaishnav poetry, why can't she sing it?This isn't a poem Dada.. this is a song.
Then write a poem. She will sing the poem. The song will be stifled inside the house. Then bring her out in the courtyard. But she will not step outside the house.'
Fine, if she will not step out then I am not going to compose this song, Sachinda warned.
That was how my first 'song situation' was explained to me.
