“Post Master” (1955) was a movie I had never heard about. In fact, I wonder if this movie figures in the list of movies released in 1955.

This song is there with for some time now. In fact I had saved the link long back, never got around to even writing down the lyrics. Than some days ago I chanced upon a link of Radio Cylon Rafi special programme on 31/07/2012. This song was the first to be played in that programme. I thought I know the song, so it must be posted. Lekin, jab song blog mein nahin milaa to iss ko aur andhere mein rakhnaa na insaafi hai.

‘Inkaar’ from 1977 is one of my more favorite cops-and-robbers films. Almost the entire picture is a study in understatement. A film that flows pretty close to the levels of realism, and all the characters seem very natural and very normal in the surroundings they are placed in. Most of the action and most of the histrionics is played very normally. There is not much in the film that can be singled out as something overplayed. A difficult feat to pull off, given that it is a crime and detection story.

Raj Ratan is the name that I am not familiar with. This music director is making a debut on this blog today. When I came across this name as I checked on this song, it did not sound very familiar. I did some quick scanning of the Geet Kosh, but am not able to locate too much more work done by this composer. In the quick scan I did, I am able to pull up just two more films by him, and that too in the years far apart (‘Ramu Ustad’ in 1971, and ‘Madine Ki Galiyan’ in 1979). It appears as if he is a person who is active in the industry as an assistant music director, and has had an occasional opportunity to independently score music, as a music director.

The film ‘Teesri Gali’ makes a debut on this blog today. It is one of the lesser known films from 1958. But being that the music direction is by Chitragupt, there are bound to be some very good songs included in this film. And sure enough, the song in this post is a gem that has stayed obscure for too long. A very wonderful and a lilting duet in the voices of Hemant Da and Lata ji.
