Though the first few lines of this song are the same as Iqbal’s song, other lines of this song are different. This patriotic song is from “Bhai Bahan” (1959). This song is sung by ASha Bhonsle and picturised on a kid. I have no idea about the identity of the kid. I request my knowledgeable readers to help identify the actor.

I am a big fan of Ravi. He is perhaps the only music director who was around when the golden era of Hindi movie music began to the time this era was finally gone for ever. His career began as a chorus singer in late 1940s,then he became assistant to Hemant Kumar (he was his assistant in “Naagin” (1954)) and then he became an independent music director with “Vachan” (1955). From then on till 1980s, he composed songs, many of which became so popular that they ended up becoming iconic songs. I in fact describe Ravi as a composer of iconic songs.

Meri beri ke ber mat todo

This is a song that is today known to the present generation thanks to a remix song.When I saw/ heard this remix song, then the first think that came to my mind was- why they cannot make their own original music. And in case they have to use old songs, why they should not acknowledge this fact somewhere. Plagiarism is plagiarism, and it is blatant plagiarism because the golden era songs, which are being used as source material for these remixes are still fresh in the mind of music lovers.

The lyrics of most Sajjad Hussain compositions are serious affairs, but this song is an exception. It is a love song alright, but here the lovers have more practical matters to consider instead of talking poetry and astronomy. Mumtaz, who has come to meet Premnath, her lover, is getting delayed and she has to leave. And that is what this song is all about.

Ruk jaao na jee aisi kyaa jaldi

In Hindi movies, songs have traditionally played many roles. For one, songs are often the main reason why many people come to watch the movie. In one old movie, which had no songs in it, the maker had to actually explain it to the audience why that movie had no songs. And that explanation cut no ice with the public.

Here is a typically O P Nayyarish romantic song from 1960s. This song is from “Mere Sanam” (1965) and listening to this song, one may guess that the song is from a Shammi Kapoorish movie. And one is too much off the mark in this guesswork. This movie contains Vishwajeet (poor man’s Shammi Kapoor) as well as Asha Parekh.
