I was aware of a movie called “Haseenon Ka Devtaa”, but now I realise that there was another movie called “Gunaahon Ka Devtaa” (1967). This movie “Gunaahon Ka Devtaa” (1967) had Jeetendra and Rajshree in lead roles.

In this blog, I have written about quite a few lesser known singers, lyricists and music directors and posted their songs. I in fact take pride in the fact that this blog is perhaps the only place where one can get the most information about their songs.

Here is a song whose farmaish was given by Raja more than a year back. And as often happens with me, I may have listened to this song in passing in the past, but it is only now that I have seriously listened to this song.

Bheegi chaandni chhaayi bekhudi

In my bid to clear the backlog of my old farmaishes, here is one song whose farmaish was given more than one year back. This song is from “Suhaagan” (1964). This song is a duet sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Madan Mohan is the music director. Madan Mohan teamed up with Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Rajinder Krishan in most of his movies and on the other hand he rarely worked with the leading names (Shailendra, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Sahir Ludhianvi and Hasrat Jaipuri). But in this movie, he worked with Hasrat Jaipuri. And what superb lyrics Hasrat Jaipuri came up with in this movie !

Music of “Naagin” (1954) became so popular that it led to many movies with similar plots and indeed similar music. Not just other music directors, even Hemant Kumar (music director of “Naagin” ) created similar music in subsequent movies.

Today, when I am looking at the list of old farmaishes that I have yet to comply, I came across this song “Chaand jaane kahaan kho gayaa”. When I listened to this song, I wondered how I had failed to post this song till today.

Akela hoon main iss duniyaa mein

I had mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I keep an excel sheet to keep track of all the songs posted, as well as all the farmaishes sent by readers. It appears that Sid, a longtime reader and farmaish sender of this blog also maintains an excel sheet to keep track of the farmaishes sent. 😀 Sid would often remind me of farmaishes sent long time back.

Teri yaad mein jalkar dekh liyaa
Posted on: July 20, 2010
“Naagin” (1954) has so many songs that it is easy to lose track of them. And there are songs which seem like extensions of earlier songs. For instance, the song “teri yaad mein jalkar dekh liyaa” is immediately followed by “Oonchi oonchi duniyaa ki ” song.

Aayegaa koyi hamraaz mere pyaar kaa

When it comes to remembering important dates, I am quite forgetful and absent minded. The only important date in my family that I never forget is my daughter’s birthday, because she looks forward to it from many days in advance. Other than that, details like my wife’s birthday, our wedding anniversary etc are dates that I always forget, much to the chagrin of my wife.
