It is not always that one is aware of the details of the songs that one hears. Often one is just aware of the song and that is all.

Mukherji family was a very influential family in Bollywood. Brothers Shashdhar Mukherji and Subodh Mukherji were producers of Bollywood movies in 1950s and 1960s. Filmistan studio was co founded by Shashdhar Mukherji. Shashdhar Mukherji’s sons too were well known actors. Most movie followers are familiar with the names of his sons viz Joy Mukherji and Deb Mukherji.

I thought that Saira Bano was the first “bold” heroine who had appeared in a bathroom song in a Bollywood movie. I was wrong. She was beaten in it by another actress by more than a decade.

“Saahib Bibi Aur Ghulam” (1962) is a landmark movie in the history of Bollywood movies. The story, the plot, the acting- all these were top class. Public as well as critics appreciated this movie.

Here is a bicycle song from an obscure movie called “Zamaana” (1957). The song is picturised on Ameeta and Kamaljit (later better remembered as Waheeda Rehman’s husband). This song is a duet, mostly sung by Asha Bhonsle, with some male voice too. I have no idea about the male voice. It sounds like G M Durrani, but then he was no longer around in 1957 I think. The singer could well be Kamaljit himself. (PS- I have later read somewhere that it was Kamaljit himself).
