The mention of the title “Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja” would immediately bring to mind the 1993 film starring Anil Kapoor and Sridevi. But no, we are talking about an earlier incarnation of this title, well almost 32 years earlier. Even though the year was 1961, and even though the lead pair of Dev Anand and Waheeda Rehman were well established in their careers, yet this film, ‘Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja’ (1961) failed to make an impact on the box office. And now, when one mentions this name, people do not readily connect to the earlier film. In other words, it has become an obscure entity, that many people do not remember now.

Sometimes a rhythm, a tune just sticks into the mind and keeps replaying itself over and over again. This is what has happened, when I bumped into this song two days ago. I was preparing for a write up on Shailendra, having identified other songs (which I will post later now). And then found this song – “dar a dad a daa a dad daaraa, chandaa ke paas ik taara”. The rhythm just refuses to go away from my mind, even though it is a tongue twisting formation, and the mind does stumble sometimes, when trying to go over it. A real foot tapping, ear catching melody that just stays with you once you have heard it.

Then I boasted that I was going to post this rare song in the blog today.
