This is the first song from the film Angoor (1982) to appear on this blog. Although this film enjoys quite a popularity, the songs hardly became popular among the masses. The musical score has remained an insider’s tip for Pancham and Gulzar fans.

I have heard this song after some 20 years or so today. A regular song on Vividh Bharati. They played both Rafi Sahab and Chandrani Mukherjee’s versions frequently. Like many of those Rafi and Lata solo version songs, this one too is in memory, with one line following the other in the mind. So typing the lyrics is fast work. I thought the female version must be Lata’s. But it turns out that the female singer is Chandrani Mukherjee, who is gamely trying to match Rafi sahab pitch for pitch. On radio she sounded a lot better than on the ear phones on which I heard it now. The ear phones have no heart and no mercy for even the greatest of singers, so none are spared.

The story line of the movie unfortunately was meant to appeal to masochists and their numbers were dwindling among movie goers. As a result this movie failed at the box office.

This is the third song in the series ” Lata with uncommon singers”. Here Lata is with Shaukat Hyderi or Nashad. Yes, he is the same Nashad, Music Director, who gave several memorable songs in the 50s and 60s like ‘Tasveer banata hoon’ and ‘ O teer chalaanewaale’-both from Talat and ‘ Badi mushkil se dil ki’ by Shamshad Begum.
