I was contemplating a write-up on the song ‘kyaa dekhaa ab naiano waali nainaa kyoon bhar aaye’ from film DHARMPUTRA (1961) over a month for discussion in the blog. But the song is so heart touching that I have been avoiding watching it again for a write-up. The song is a masterpiece and worthy of bringing to the notice of readers of this blog. The film was produced by B R Chopra and directed by Yash Chopra. Mala Sinha, Rehman, Shahsi Kapoor and Indrani Mukherjee were the main actors in the film. Five songs from this film have already been discussed in the blog.

I have not been able to discuss songs at the rate that I would have liked. Hopefully I will be able to resume my normal rate of discussing songs within a couple days or so.

About a month back, I stumbled upon a song ‘aankhen to huyi band magar dard jagaa re’ from the film BEGUM (1945) sung by Ashok Kumar. Until then, I had neither heard of this song nor of the film which had Ashok Kumar and Naseem Bano in the lead roles. I liked the song so much that I must have listened to it umpteen times. The song is written by Gopal Singh Nepali and set to music by Hari Prasanna Das (H P Das) whose name also I heard for the first time. From the Indian Film Trade Data website, I observed that H P Das had given music to 10 Hindi films between 1935 and 1948 including 2-3 films jointly with Manna Dey.

Listening to well known old classics is a pleasurable exercise. But discovering old forgotten songs from old forgotten movies and listening to them is an equally and often more pleasurable exercise.
Here is a song which I discovered just now, more than half a century after this song was created.

Jabse laagi tose najariyaa

I often get confused between the two similarly named movies of 1960s, viz “Shikaar” and “Shikaari”. The confusion is compounded by the fact that both movies had similar storylines, where the hero would go to a jungle for “shikaar” where he would enounter tribals wearing Red Indian/ African kinds of heargears etc and the daughter of the chief would be the chief female dancer among the tribal dance troupe that would sing and dance at the drop of a spear.
