When one is searching for music from the so called second rung music directors, one begins to come across films one never imagined they existed. Take this one for example. Kind of lost in the list of similar sounding films. There is a fair number of films that start with the word “Rustom”. ‘Rustom-e-Hind’, ‘Rustom-e-Rome’, ‘Rustam Sohrab. etc. This film has not yet appeared on this blog. So with this song, now the film “Rustom –e- Baghdad” makes an entry here. Produced in 1963 under the banner of Henna Films, Bombay and directed by BJ Patel. The star cast is impressive (for B/C grade) and includes Dara Singh, Vijaya Chaudhry, Chandrashekhar, Shakila Banu Bhopali, Bhagwan, Rajan Kapoor, Shashimala, Polson, Devichand, Sumitra, Maya Tandon, Bakhshi etc. As to the storyline, I would request other knowledgeable readers to please add more information about this film.

“Where have all the loris (lullabies) gone from the contemporary Hindi films?’ This question haunts me as I don’t find lori songs in the present day Hindi films unless I have missed them. Alternatively I may have heard them but did not get the feel of a lori song. In a way, it is a reflection on our present generation where the lori songs as a soothing device on kids for putting them to sleep early has been almost forgotten. I find that at least in the metropolis, most parents have no time to sing a 3-minute lori to put their kids to sleep.

I have discussed as many as five songs from “Laat Saahab” (1967). But five songs just too few a number to be satisfied with for a typical musical blockbuster of those days.

Remembering Mahendra Kapoor today, 9th Jan, his birth anniversary.
As I am searching for songs to post for today, I came across this simply super gem of a melody which I have heard long time back, and which has since been eluding me. This song just has to be counted amongst the best and softest duets ever. Rendered softer than silk and softer than velvet, this duet is by Asha ji and Mahendra ji. I am sure as you would hear this, the reaction is going to be, “wow, not posted yet?”.
