In 1970s, kids of my age (and for that matter much of the Indian population) who were used to movie songs of the kind popular in 1970s, found the singing style of old songs quite amusing. And Saigal’s singing style was the source of big mirth among people. There were people who would sing in Saigal style for the purpose of amusing themselves and others. Songs like “jab dil hi toot gaya” were “popular” for this purpose.

Reviving a wonderful qawwaali from one of those not so well known films, and yet a gem of a composition and a fabulous presentation. The film is Mujrim Kaun Khooni Kaun (1965). It is a social drama produced under the banner of Pratima Pictures, Bombay and it is directed by Ramneek Vaidya. The star cast includes Jairaj, Indira aka Indira Billi, Heeralal, Sapru, Shammi, Bela Bose, Asit Sen, Raj Mehra, Brahm Bhardwaj, Gopal Sehgal, Shyam Kumar, V Gopal, Mirza Musharraf, Sherry etc. The lyrics for this film are written by three poets viz., Anjum Jaipuri, Akhtar Romani and Naqsh Lyallpuri. This particular qawwaali is written by Akhtar Romani. The music composition is by Baabul – another one of the unsung talents that have produced absolutely A class music, but never really got their due recognition in the industry.

I have been discussing songs from “Daroga jee” (1949) and it is very interesting to find one song after another, all of them meant to be female solos,meant to be picturised on Nargis. I wonder if the hero of this movie, namely P Jairaj too had any songs in to lip sync or whether he was just a glorified extra in it.

Though I have not kept track of it, I have a feeling that most songs picturised on Shammi Kapoor (in his Shammi Kapoor style movies) have been covered in this blog. I need to put all these songs in some proper tags so that keeping track of them becomes easier.
