Here is another song which I thought I had posted already, but I had not.
Listening to this song and watching the picturisation, I can not help but feel that this has to be one of the most moving sentimental songs that I have come across. There is this happy family with parents and their two kids (one son and one daughter). The father (Bharat Bhushan) sings this song (part 1) on a grand piano late at night, heard by his wife (Shalini) and the two kids. This song would be remembered by the kids and it would serve as the theme song for the family members later.
Then the family separates. Or rather, the father gets separated from the family and goes into amnesia. Part 2 of the song sees the daughter (now grown up by a few years and going to school) singing this song on a grand piano in her school . The father , separated from the family,hears the song which sound familiar to him but he is unable to make out where he had heard this song earlier.
The two kids grow up to become Farida Jalal and Kamal Kapoor. They sing this song (part 3) is a family get together. The father, still amnesiac, again turns up on listening to the song and tries to recall where he had heard this song before.
I find this song a very moving song, and my heart goes out to the father.
I have not watched the movie, and so I am not able to understand how and why the father gets separated from his family. May be the two kids were two young to identify him, but how come his wife does not recognise it, even when he stands directly up there, in her line of vision. I hope someone can clarify this matter to me.
The song , as mentioned above, is in three parts. Anand Bakshi is the lyricist and Laxmikant Pyarelal composed the music. The singers are Rafi, Lata, Usha Mangeshkar, Usha Timothy and Mahendra Kapoor.
Here is this song from “Taqdeer” (1967). I found this song one of the most moving songs of its genre. Kudos to the creators of this song.

*Spoiler alert*!
Oh, he has to travel abroad and his ship is wrecked and he is castaway…and only manages to make his way back years later.
They all think he is dead and the wife eventually gives in to a re-marriage proposal from a rather cold fish of a friend of the husband’s due to financial & other problems.
He turns out to be be pretty nasty, affection-wise although he does provide for them.
We used to sing this other song from the movie “Papa jadi aa jaana, saat samundar paar se” whenever my Dad was overseas on a business trip (pretty rare thing in those days)…
years later when I saw the film as an adult I realised my mum didn’t really like us singing it, as it must have brought all her fears to the fore as she indeed had seen the film.

What a gem written by Anand Bakshi. No wonder he ruled Binanca geetmala.
And, second one from same movie “saat samndar paar se gudiyon ke baazaar se”.

It is a truly fantastic song, and the movie was good too, the emotions realistic enough.
I also realised that we often hear talk of Asha being unfairly overshadowed by Lata, but what about poor Usha? At least Asha had a parallel and comparable career.
Listening to her sing this song, she has really rendered it beautifully, but she never got much of a chance with her two elder sisters already there. Her voice is lovely here.
It is an extremely poignant scene, Shalini is just right as the mother torn between different options and feelings in the film but she never got much of a chance in Hindi films. This is also one film where I like Bharat Bhushan.

A truly fantastic song. Rafi’s version has more pathos and appeal. Why we do not make these type of songs today?

I think there are three children in this movie. Kamal Kapoor plays the friend of Bharat Bhushan who later marries his wife – Shalini Murdolkar. Readers might know that this was a Goan film made in 1966 that won the national award and in the Konkani film, Shalini had played the title role. Taqdeer was a modest success and critics have greatly appreciated Shalini’s performance and Farida Jalal’s acting, The song “Papa Jaldi Aana” is eminently hummable. Farida’s brother was paid by the boy who played the lame boy in “Dosti” .. I fail to recollect his name… He is a sindhi, still lives in Chembur. He quit films to join Air India .. and retired. this is what I read somewhere. Shalini was a tiatr actress – immensely popular in Goa. She lived in Vasai or Nalla Sopara and I think she passed away 2 or 3 years back…

Is this Shalini same as one who acted in Sakhi Robin in the song ‘tum Jo aao to pyar as jaye’ ?

Oh, I see. So it means that the wife knows about Bharat Bhushan when he turns up again, and so do the kids.
Then it makes the song even more poignant.
