आज बृज में होरी रे

'Aaj Braj Mein Hori Re' is the Holi number from the 1943 social drama Inkaar, directed by Sudhir Sen and scored by Ashok Ghosh. Its lyric invokes Braj — the Krishna country whose festival of colours is the source of every filmi Holi song — placing the picture within the long tradition of the spring-festival set piece that early-1940s Bombay cinema loved. The singer and lyricist are not documented in available sources.

Ashok Ghosh, a Laxmi Productions composer of the early 1940s, would have set a Holi number like this in the festive folk register the form demands — dholak-driven rhythm, a circular Braj-bhajan melody and call-and-response phrasing built for the screen's colour-throwing crowd.
