It is said that Prabaht Films’ ‘Amrit Manthan’ (1934) has the distinction of having songs in ghazal format for the first time. I found that there were 3 songs in this film in ghazal format written by Veer Mohammed Puri. I had never heard of the name of this lyricist (or poet). So the curiosity led me to make a search for his name in websites. Unfortunately, I could not get much information about the lyricist except a hint that he was a poet which I guessed from a ghazal ‘kamsini mein dil pe gham ka bhaar kyon’ from the same film that he had used ‘Veer’ as his takhallus (alias) in the maqta (last she’r) of the ghazal.

This article is the 8900th song post in the blog.

Two years have passed. Well, almost, just about two weeks short. It was another cool night of November that I was busy typing the write up for the 5000th song on this blog. There was much exhilaration and excitement that the 5000th milestone was reached. There were some very cautious and guarded comments, pointing towards the 10,000th song. But at that time, although the 5000th was already capped, the 10,000th still seemed daunting and unthinkable. That was two years ago.

When Helen appears on the screen, a very automatic thought that crosses the mind is – the playback singer will be Asha Bhosle. Such is the association between the two, that across the decades, most of the Helen dance songs have been crooned by Asha ji. But yes, there are other playback singers also that have sung for Helen on screen, and it will be an interesting category by itself – ‘non Asha Bhosle songs of Helen’. As I was searching for a special song for this post, it is completely by chance that I came across this wonderful peppy number, a Helen mujra song, sung by Usha Timothy. I heard it for the first time last night, and it is one of those matters of falling in love on the first hear.

It is time for the alphabet ‘M’ in the A-Z of Rafi songs series. I have taken my time in deciding which type songs are a must in the series and accordingly have almost finalised the songs in this list. Initially, when planning this series I just made a random selection of songs for ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ to start it on time with Rafi sahab 33rd death anniversary.

“L ” song in this A-Z of Rafi songs series is a duet sad song. Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar are singing this song for Dilip Kumar and Nargis respectively. The film is “Halchul” (1951). The song is written by Khumar Barabankwi and composed by Mohammed Shafi. This movie is one of those where Sajjad Hussain is said to have walked out after composing three songs, due to his disagreements with Dilip Kumar/film makers. Those three songs and one song composed by Mohammed Shafi are posted in the blog, making this the fifth song from the movie.
