Aha, the 7700th. Congratulations and celebrations. 🙂 🙂
Welcome all to yet another century milestone on this blog. Habit forming, and on the dot, never missing a beat. The regularity is so predictable, that we can set our calendars accordingly. A hundred new songs on the blog – ah yes, about 18 days must have passed. Kudos to Atul ji for managing and controlling the pace of new songs, no matter what.

Nanha sa dil deti hoon

The year is 1957. The time in the Hindi film industry when the big name banners prominently ruled, and the success and recognition of film music was the domain of the high profile music directors. An era with a lot of stories of how Filmfare awards were influenced, and how the privileged songs were made to climb to the top of Binaca Geetmala list. In such a time and such an era, an ‘unprivileged’ song rapidly climbed the charts of popularity, completely defying the set commercial conventions, and confounding the hold of hierarchical tradition of established big names in the industry, it became the no. 1 song of 1957 at the top of Binaca Geetmala charts. The film – an unimpressive and an unremarkable socio-religious drama by the name of ‘Janam Janam Ke Phere’. The song – an unmatchable and a very endearing duet by Rafi Sb and Lata Mangeshkar – “Zaraa Saamne To Aa O Chhaliye”, an unlikely song of a human being’s search for the Almighty. The deep and impressive words of Bharat Vyas tuned to a lovely melody by a master craftsman of classical and folk genre – Shrinath Tripathi, better known as SN Tripathi.
