Chandi Sona (1977), as the name points out at, is a film about treasure hunt on an island. Most probably a desi version of a Hollywood film. Sanjay Khan in his independent ventures favoured R D Burman. Even in this film it is Pancham, who gives the music.

Pati Patni (1966) was R D Burman’s fifth released film, after his debut in Chhote Nawab (1961). Most probably his close friend Mehmood procured this project for him as well.

“Gumnaam” (1965) was based on Agatha Christie’s suspense novel “And then there were none”. And it must be said that this Hindi movie version added its own flavour to the story tailormade for its target audience. I am not sure that the original novel had a butler quite like Mehmood, for instance.

In the olden days, Radio Ceylon was the catalyst of that kept the memories of old gems of 1930s and 1940s and even early 1950s alive in the minds of listeners. However, one cannot underestimate the contribution of Vivid Bharati in popularising the gems of latter 50s and 60s among the Hindi film songs. In fact, some of the songs from the films which failed miserably in the box office survived in the memories of listeners thanks to Vivid Bharati. I can recall a few such songs that I became aware of because they were often played on Vivid Bharati : tum jo huye mere hamsafar (1958), ye hawa ye fiza ye samaa (1958), baithhe hain rehguzar par dil ka diyaa jalaaye (1959), bahaaron se poochho mere pyaar ko tum (1960), nigaahein na phero chale jaayenge ham,(1960), tum jo aao to pyaar aa jaaye (1962). These are the only teasers and there are many more such songs already covered in this blog.
