“Teri Baahon Mein” (1984) was a Kalptaru Films production. It was produced by Pramod Poddar and directed by Umesh Mehra. The movie had Mohanish Behl, Ayesha Shroff, Parikshit Sahni, Dev Kumar, Prem Chopra, Navin Nischol, Kalpana Iyer, Mac Mohan, with Parveen Babi and Mithun Chakraborty in special appearances. I recall that this movie was touted to be inspired from “The Blue Lagoon”. When most small time Hindi movie makers wanted to get “inspired” from western movies then they reminded me of the Hindi saying-“Kahaan Raja Bhoj Kahaan Gangu Teli”.

Seven song of the film Sangeet Samrat Tansen (1962) are posted in the blog. This singular Rafi solo is the eighth song to appear. It seems to me that Bharat Bhooshan is in the title role. The song is the creation of lyricist Shailendra and Music Director S N Tripathi. But to elevate this song in a film based on a vocalist life, the onus rest heavily on Rafi Sahab. And the award goes to Mohammed Rafi Sahab. Not lyrical, not musical but a vocal beauty, this one.

This is a song from Film- Paapi-1953, a film largely remembered for the only Double Role that Raj kapoor ever did in his career. Another reason to remember this film was that this was a film Directed by Sardar Chandulal Shah, the owner of Ranjit Studios and Ranjit Movietone.
