“Zehreela Insaan” (1974) was Rishi Kapoor’s second movie after his debut as a lead actor in “Bobby” (1973). He took a major risk going from his chocolate hero in “Bobby” to a hero with dark shades in “Zehreela Insaan”. The box-office, unfortunately, didn’t think highly of this commendable act. The film flopped and from then on he hardly ventured into this territory again.

When the techniques of song recording were first introduced in India by a few music record companies, there was some initial myths and superstitions associated with it. A few of the professional singers believed that song recordings reduced the life span of singers as the electric gadgets suck away the lung power. A few even went to the extent in saying that the microphone takes away all the good qualities of a singer’s voice. It is said that Kesarbai Kerkar, the classical singer did not record a single song for music companies during her life time. Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, the doyen of Patiala Gharana initially evaded recordings on some pretext or other but the underlying factor seemed to be the fear of losing the quality of his voice.

My younger days were made more enjoyable by Talat’s songs. Though I was born and brought up in Hyderabad state- a Muslim ruled state(The Nizam was the king ruling on 85 % Hindu population….exactly opposite of Raja Harisingh of Kashmir ruling on 85% Muslims ! ), initially I was not much interested in Urdu Gazals etc. My interest in Urdu Gazals was ignited and further nurtured by by the way Talat sang them.
