Shabnam (1964) is a fantasy adventure, a mix of comedy, action and intrigue in the royal palace. With the combination of Mehmood (still trying at that time to succeed as a hero), Sheikh Mukhtar, Jeevan, Helen, Vijay Laxmi, Mukri, Mohan Choti etc., the roles and story line is almost predictable. Memsaab’s blog carries a very interesting review of this movie (click here to go to the review). The movie has had a pretty successful run in its time, in the B circuit release cinema houses. But more than that, this movie is remembered for its music, rather it is a musical blockbuster, as Atul ji has mentioned in his post for one of the songs ‘Har Nazar Mein Sau Afsaane’.

This is a gem of a ghazal presented in Mujra style. Once again, very beautiful, almost semi classical composition. The words are lovely, and the music is just wonderful. As with the other song picturised on Helen, the quality of on screen situation and picturization is average. However, the song is mesmerizing, if one listens only to the audio, without any visual distractions.
