One song of the film Flat No. 9 (1961) is already posted on this blog. That one is the iconic Mukesh song, ‘Gaa Deewaane Jhoom Ke, Raat Ki Zulfen Choom Ke’. But the remaining songs in this film are no less a delight to listen to. Despite its wonderful music, there is literally no information available online, about this film. From the Geet Kosh, one finds that this film was produced under the banner of WS Films, Bombay. It is a social drama directed by Ramesh Sharma. There are a total of 6 songs in this film, four are sung by Lata Mangeshkar, one by Mukesh, and one by Asha Bhosle. The lyrics are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the wonderful music is by Usha Khanna. The star line up for this film includes Ashok Kumar, Saeeda Khan, Tiwari, Jagdish Sethi, Helen, Dhoomal, Narbada Shankar, Ravikant, Dinesh Kumar, Kehsav, Prem Saagar, Razia, Aasi etc.

Atul is aware that this particular cabaret song and dance is one of my favorites, performed by the very lithe and graceful Faryal. It contains most of the peculiarly Indian cabaret traits that make me love them so: male background dancers, a fake Sheikh or two, a Boss lurking in silhouette, and a lively band clad in frilly outfits. So how perfect for it to be the 4700th song posted on this brilliant blog!

I am aware of a movie called “Aan Baan” (1956), but it turns out that there was another movie of the same name in 1972 as well. I am surprised that I should know about the 1956 movie of this name , but be totally oblivious of the 1972 movie of this name.

Sajjad Hussain songs are a category of song that I regard as gold dust, especially those songs that are not yet discussed. As it is, Sajjad Hussain composed around one hundred songs in his career. This blog has covered as many as 62 of them, including some rare songs that were unearthed on internet for the first time.

What song comes to our mind when a song begins “tumhe yaad hoga….” ? The classic “Satta Baazaar” (1959) song sung by Hemant Kumar-Lata of course. But there is another song that begins similarly. And this is a song that predates the “Satta Baazaar” (1959) song by half a decade.
