“Chhote Nawaab”(1961) is a movie which was Mehmood’s home production. Produced under the banner of Mumtaz Films, this movie was produced by Usman Ali and directed by S A Akbar. Starcast of the movie included names like Mehmood, Ameeta, Minoo Mumtaz, Helen, Anwar Hussain,Raj Kishore, Raj Dutt, A.R.Bengali, Munshi Munaqqa, Maqbool, Yusuf, Abdul, Mono, Sevanand, Bela Bose, Aruna, Harikishan, Ebrahim, Khursheed Bawra, Pappoo, Altaf, Brij Sharma, S.N.Bannerjee, Nazir Hussain, Achala Sachdev, Kumar etc.
More than the star cast, this movie is of interest to music lovers for its music director. Yes, this was the debut movie of R D Burman as a music director. After assisting his father for years, R D Burman finally got his first break as a music director thanks to the initiative of Mehmood. Though R D Burman did well in this movie, he ironically received no onther movies for the next three years when he was signed up for his second movie, and that movie “Bhoot Bangla” (1965) was also Mehmood’s home production.
It shows that Mehmood has the eye for talent, and music lovers will forever remain uindebted to him for introducing R D Burman to Hindi movie music. As we all know, once R D Burman got going in late 1960s, he redefined Hindi movie music as was then known.
As many as four songs from “Chhote Nawaab” (1961) have already been discussed in the blog. Here is the fifth song from the movie. This song is sung by Lata and Rafi, with a bit of humming by Mehmood. Since Mehmood only hums in this song, so this song is a Rafi Lata duet.
The song is picturised on Helen, Johny Walker and Mehmood, which also makes it a Helen song. Most Helen songs are typically sung by Asha Bhonsle (and earlier Geeta Dutt too), but Lata has also sung some wonderful songs for Helen, and this song is one such songs.
Shailendra is the lyricist of this song.
