The street songs comprising any public places have been a part of many Hindi films which became prominent in 1950s and 60s. Such songs generally get picturised on lesser-known actors. Within the category of street songs, there is an interesting sub-category in which the street singer conveys the inner feelings of the main actors, usually hero/heroine present to watch the street singing performance, who keeps them within their hearts. Usually, a male actor would be playing harmonium or any other musical instrument and the female actor would be dancing. The onlookers will be the bystanders among whom the film’s main actors who would be witnessing the performance. There are many songs under this sub-category of street songs. I have listed below few such songs of 1950s and 60s:

It is your words that tell of this predicament. Seasons come and go, as they have, year on year on year. . .  but the one who this heart wants to listen to again, has not returned after going away. . .

Rafi Sb has sung playback for a whole range of performers all the way from mid 1940s to early 1980s, and then some. He never declined to sing for any actor, be that a newcomer, a junior artist, or even non-entities who made just one song, one film appearances. On the other hand, the association of Rafi Sb’s voice with some very important and specific performers, has been well discussed and documented. Almost invariably, Rafi Sb was the singing voice for these artists, no matter what.

Your soothing voice is enough to bring a gentle peace to any restless mind. Yes, you would sing and calmness would descend, settling the perturbations of the mind. There was this promise of some divine massage that would heal the disturbances. Alas, just the recordings remain. . . a poor semblance of the real.

‘Madan Manjari’ from 1961 is promising treasure of wonderful music that came from the mind of Sardar Malik. Three gems of this film are already showcased here on our blog. Today, I bring on this fourth treasure, as the next episode in this series of duets of Rafi Sb.

With this song, we bring the 14th Tarzan film to our blog.  Searching in the Geet Kosh, we find 15 Tarzan films. Adding the one film from 1987, which is represented on our blog, it makes 16 Tarzan films that we are aware of. Of these, 13 films are already represented on our blog with at least one song each. With this 14th incarnation, Tarzan now arrives in Fairlyland. The alternate title of this film in Hindi is listed as ‘टारज़न परिस्तान में’.

‘ओ’ – ओ तेरा छुप छुप के चले आना

मेरी आवाज़ ही पहचान है
गर याद रहे

जी, अब तो सिर्फ आवाज़ ही सहारा है। और यादें। ज़िंदगी काश कुछ अरसा पहले मिली होती॰ ॰ ॰

Rafi Sb never shied away from giving playback to any actor, no matter the age, the role, or even stature in the industry. He would gladly lend his voice to new comers, as well as to lesser known artists, be they the onscreen debutants, or be they new or less popular music directors and lyricists. At times, he would even accept a very nominal amount, or even zero amount, as his fee, when a producer apologetically mentioned about his financial circumstances. Such stories are legion in the industry.

The next film from 1962 that we introduce today is ‘Kaala Chashma’.  Oh well, with a name like this, frankly, if I had been in a movie going age in that era, even I would had steered clear of this one.  Not fair, I know, but the acumen to make such educated decisions is coming on now, after years of listening to Hindi film music, and getting a penchant for searching for lost songs.  At any other time in the past, I would have not paid any attention to film.  Especially after knowing that the lead actors are Manju and Amarnath. Rather the response would have been – Manju and Amarnath, who??

“Madame Zorro” (1962), as the name suggests, is a quintessential B grade movie that very few people actually watch. And details about such movies are conspicuous by their absence. So our inhouse expert Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh has done a great public service by giving us all the details on this movie that we may ever need to know. Here is his fun take on this movie:-
