Hindi movie songs is a vast ocean and so far we in this blog have only been to the surface with occasional plunges. We have only covered a small fraction of all the songs that are lying out there. However, when it comes to songs of K L Saigal, we have made considerable progress. Almost all K L Saigal Hindi movie songs that are available on youtube have been disussed. The remaining Hindi filmsongs of K L Saigal are not available on youtube/dailymotion. So one needs to upload these hitherto unavailable songs in order to discuss them here. And that is what I have been doing with K L saigal movie song these days.

This is a song that I have heard many a times in the past but all these days I had no clue which movie this was from. It is not that I was not familiar with the movie. Indeed I was very much aware of the movie and I had discussed as many as four songs from this movie in the blog.

Here is a lovely “maanjhi”(boatman) song with a difference. The song is very much a boat song, in the sense that Asha Parekh, looking young and pretty, is standing on a boat in a river and singer this song. And she is singing about “maanjhi”, but here “maanjhi” does not mean the boatman, but it means the man who will steer her destiny. Yes, she is singing this song about her beloved (Sunil Dutt).

1971 was a year when old order was changing, giving way to new. Many newcomers made their first appearances in this year or thereabouts. Most of them fell by the wayside, but a few of them managed to hold on and later they established themselves in the industry.

Haal e dil yoon unhen sunaayaa gayaa

I have so far discussed over 4100 songs in this blog, and I still feel that I have only scratched the surface. There are still tens of thousands of great songs that belong here. In fact, many well known songs are yet to figure in this blog. Hopefully, with time, all the missing songs will also appear here.

This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
In the days before the 1930s, the theatre was the more powerful media for entertainment and creativity, more so than the silent movies. The Parsi theatre found its roots in India, during the 1850s, and grew in popularity and influence over the subsequent decades, The early decades of 1900s saw the growth of the Parsi theatre (or Parsi Thiyetar, as it was known in those times) in Bombay. Many stalwarts that we see in the vintage classic movies of 30s and 40s, got their feet wet on the stage productions of Parsi theatre.

I have posted four songs from “Dahej” (1950) and I thought I had covered all the songs that are available. While posting those songs, I had not realised that all these songs were sung by female singers. As many as four female singers had sung in these songs. The heroine Jayshee in fact has sung her own songs in this movie.
