Bansari (transl. The Flute) is a Bollywood social film. It was released in 1943.[1][2] Music composition was by Gyan Dutt with lyrics written by D. N. Madhok.[3] The film was produced by Chandulal Shah for Ranjit Studios. Directed by Jayant Desai, it starred Ishwarlal, Noor Mohammed Charlie, Dixit, Shamim Bano, Kesari and Urmila.[4]
The film had Charlie playing a "social parasite" and the acting was severely criticised by the critic of "Filmindia" as "putrid" and "obscene". The film however was a big success at the box-office. This was also Charlie's last film for Ranjit Studios as he became a "freelancer" soon after.[5]

Jayant Desai
The film was Jayant Desai's last one for Ranjit Studios. He had started his career with Ranjit since 1929 as an assistant and went on to become a "stock director", directing films, which Chandulal Shah "did not want to direct".[6] Desai left Ranjit in 1943 to form his own company "Jayant Desai Productions" under which his first film was Bhaktaraj (1943).[7]
