This song is neither written by Hasrat Jaipuri nor composed by Shankar Jaikishan.

There have been three movies called “Ziddi” over the years that I am aware of. These movies were released in 1948, 1964 and 1997. “Ziddi” (1948) and “Ziddi” (1964) have some very fine songs and I have posted songs from both these movies in this blog. The 1997 movie of this name is not noted for any great songs, rather this movie is known for a dialogue of Sunni Deol, that went- “ye dhaayi kilo ka haath jab kisi pe uthta hai to wo uthtaa nahin, uth jaata hai” (when this 2 1/2 kilo fist comes down upon someone, he cannot get up, he can only go up). 😉 It is not music for the ears of the baddies, that is for sure.

And now, when I stumbled upon this song again, I felt like I had discovered a great treasure.

Guru Dutt and Meena Kumari were two individuals who started their careers playing lighthearted sunny characters but then they began to play tragic roles. They got so immersed in such roles that their real lives too became an extension of their reel life tragedy roles.

All these days, I thought that I had posted most songs of “Kashmir Ki Kali” (1964) in this blog. It turns out that I was mistaken. So these days I have decided to post the missing songs of this movie.
