For many movie watchers, Meena Kumari and Raj Kumar epitomise tragedy roles. And if they are there together in a movie, then one may be justified in fearing the worst, viz ‘Kaajal” (1965).

I am fond of saying that Bollywood movies have one great “Chitthi” (letter) song every decade, beginning from 1960s. Thus we had Likhe jo khat tujhe(Kanyadaan)(1968) in 1960s, Daakiya daak laaya(Palkon ki chhaon mein)(1977) (Palkon Ki Chhaaon Mein” in 1970s, “Chitthi aayi hai aayi hai” (Naam) in 1980s and Sandese aate hain(Border)(1997) (Border) in 1990s. All these songs are already posted in this blog.

“Veer Babhruwaahan” (1950) is a movie about which very little is known today. The only think I know about this movie is that Mridula was the heroine of this movie. I am not sure about the identity of the hero. May be this song, which shows both of them will help readers of this blog to be able to identify the other actors of this movie.

Where was this song lying all these days ? I thought I knew all about Madan Mohan songs, considering that I have posted over 100 of his songs and I have heard nearly 300 of his songs (out of 700). But I was humbled to realise that I am still unaware about many of his gems.

I had never heard this song before. And I would have remained blissfully unaware of this song but for a long pending farmaish for this song.
