My familiarity with the film CHAAND (1944) was limited to its iconic song ‘do dilon ko ye duniyaa milne hi nahin deti’ until a few years ago. I had watched the video clip of this song many times in the past. With its beautiful lyrics, I felt that I should watch this full movie before I attempt to write an article on the song. Fortunately, the video of this film is available on the internet.

This is a comedy song from film NAGINA-51. The singers are Rafi and Shamshad. This was a Nutan- Nasir Khan film.
Sometime back I finished reading Nutan’s Biography, written by her close friend and noted journalist, Lalita Tamhane. The book is titled ‘ ASEN MEE…NASEN MEE ‘ (I may be…I may not be). Many interesting things which are not well known are mentioned in this book. I will try to describe a part of it, from Nutan’s early career, as I remember. Thanks to Lalita Tamhane-the copyright holder.
