Saraswatichandra was raised by his "step mother". He was a compassionate person who wanted to spend his life for "Lok Seva" but upon his father's suggestion agreed to meet Kumud Sundari and fell in love with her. The step mother did not like the idea of another woman getting importance in her house. She accused the step son of wasting money on his future bride and the father also scolded the son for being irresponsible. Saraswati decided not to marry and left his home also. Kumud was married off into a rich family but had a very unhappy married life. The story deals with... first love, sacrifice, duty, temptation and true love again.. which is to sacrifice everything for that person.
The movie was based on a Gujarati novel by Govardhanram Madhavram Tripathi and was directed by Govind Saraiya, starring Nutan as "Kumud Sundari" and a relatively unknown actor, Manish as "Saraswatichandra". The dialogue writer, S. Ali Raza, went on to receive Filmfare Award for Best Dialogues and the Best cinematography award went to N. Irani. Kalyanji-Anandji received a National Award for their melodious music.
Saraswatichandra was the last movie to be made in black and white in that era. Please listen to my humble attempt to 2 beautiful songs from the film. I would like to thank Paras Acharya who had been very instrumental, encouraging and helping me gather information to complete this classic theme. Your valuable feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Very nice selection...2 different moods! Love this movie!
You have sung both with great feelings but have shown much more ease in "Chandan sa badan".
My personal favorite is "Hum ne apna sab kuchh khoya" ...I have been unable to hold back tears eve..ry..time I have heard it.
Thanks for singing "Hum ne apna".

Beautiful song choices..love both the songs..well, all songs from this movie! Loved it Dinesh! :-)
Dinesh,
This takes me back memory lane to Maruta Hostel....(Nargol) when you sang so often. Also, I feel that your singing has improved a lot since I heard you singing in Michigan last, about 3-4 years ago.
Keep it up, Bana....one day when I have my own restaurant.... your music will be the only music we will play at the Restaurant... I am serious.
Lots of love to you and your family.
Thank you for being my friend.

Wow! EXCELLENT, brought some memories of Nargol when you used to sing in the quietness of Saruvan opposite the sea walking back to Seaface after evening dinner. You have kept the same feel as you used to have.
Love and Regards.....keep it up D.Pithia

Bahot khoob Dinesh ji.. very well sung... Poora dard utaar diya aapne humne apna sab kuch khoya mein... Chandan sa badan was good too except for a few pitching issues but nothing major.
Both are gems....you have done a great job. What a wonderful tribute to Mukeshji.
Tan bhi sundar, man bhi sundar,
