This song was among the most popular songs of 1970s, especially among pre teens like me. But I had no inkling which movie this song was from, though I guessed that this song must be from some well known movie.

I had once mentioned that the version of song seen in the movie and heard in the records was often different because they were recorded on two separate occassions. Imagine a great song being recorded not once but twice ! Once for the movie sound track, and once for the record company.

When “Neki aur Badi” (1949), the first movie of Roshan as a music director flopped, the sensitive music director was so disappointed that he reportedly wanted to commit suicide. Kidar Sharma, who gave him his first break, gave him his second break too, in “Baawre Nain” (1950). The songs of this movie became popular and Roshan, as they say, never looked back since.

“Sheikh Chilli” (1956) was what was then regarded as a B grade movie. But the movie appears quite A grade in its overall quality. Mahipal and Shyama were the lead actors and I absolutely refuse to call Shyama a B grade actress. And Mahipal too has earned quite a repulation as a hero in these movies.

I am aware that “Babul” (1950) had Dilip Kumar and Nargis in lead roles. So I was confused when I watched this song from “Babul”. I had no difficulty identifying Dilip Kumar singing in Talat Mehmood’s voice, but who was the lady. she looked unfamiliar. And she did not look like Nargis.

Though this song is from a movie of 1970s, I had not heard this song before. This song is from “Bhala Maanus” (1979) and it had Randhir Kapoor and his would be sister in law Neetu Singh in lead roles. Kapoor Khaandaan men are known for figuring in this kind of casting. Here randhir Kapoor was at least acting opposite his (would be) sister in law, his uncles (Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor) in too acted opposite Babita (Randhir Kapoor’s wife) in several movies.

Mukesh is traditionally regarded as the voice of Raj Kapoor, but that was not always the case. In his earlier movies, it was Rafi who often sang for Raj Kapoor.And we all recall that Manna Dey had famously sung for Raj Kapoor in “Chori Chori”.
