ऐ घर बसाने वाले

'Ae Ghar Basane Wale' is one of the eight songs in Bahadur (1944), the Jagriti Pictures action feature directed by Master Bhagwan. The title — an apostrophe to the one who would 'build a home' — suggests a reflective, hopeful or pleading register concerning marriage and household, a common emotional thread in 1940s film verse. The lyric is by Ehsan Rizvi and the music by Ram Chitalkar (C. Ramchandra).

Ram Chitalkar (C. Ramchandra) scored this in his formative years before Albela (1951). A reflective lyric like this would typically be set as a slower, melody-forward composition, where sarangi and harmonium underline the sentiment over a restrained tabla — the lyrical, semi-classical side of the wartime film-song palette.
