Ei Chumki Seta Pani Re Budiba Nahinki - Maa O Mamata - Old Oriya Song Video

Ei Chumki Seta Pani Re Budiba Nahinki is one of the songs that is full of joie de vivre and life and among the popular songs of the hit pair Prashanta Nanda and Mahasweta. Ei Chumki is from the hit movie Maa O Mamata

Anyone remember Maa O Mamata?

Check out the lyrics of the Ei Chumki song here

When I had seen the movie, in I guess very early eighties, I had just fallen in love with it. Mahasweta, at her very best, was the bubbly village girl - who Prashanta Nanda (the Sahari Babu) wowed and wooed and eventually seduced. The village girl and town boy theme (or the reverse as in Dora) was very very popular in old oriya movies. This movie followed the accepted storyline when Prashanta Nanda left the village, married again and forgot all about the village belle and her still unborn child. Mohsin was in a nice cameo with a great song "Hitalika Bombalika".
