Controversy

edit

"Mohe Panghat Pe Nandlal Chhed Gayo Re", a famous Song of Mughal-e-Azam was originally written by Raghunath Brahmbhatt.[3] The film features Shakeel Badayuni as the lyricist of the song. However, Brahmbhatt has been credited as the lyricist of the song in the colored version of the film, which was re-released on October 12, 2004.[4]

The song was originally panned by Brahmbhatt for Gujarati play, 'Chhatra Vijay', in 1920.[4][5][6] As per the report, Brahmbhatt approached to director K. Asif for the copyright. Later he filed a complaint to Film Writers’ Association and get a compensation of Rs 11,000 as royalty.[4]

"Saibo Maro Gulab no Chhod..." is a famous song written by Brahmbhatt.[7] He panned it for Gujarati play Hansakumari.[8]
