For many movie watchers, Meena Kumari and Raj Kumar epitomise tragedy roles. And if they are there together in a movie, then one may be justified in fearing the worst, viz ‘Kaajal” (1965). But fortunately, they did not start their careers with such roles, and they can be seen playing happier roles even together. “Ardhaangini” (1958) is one such movie where they were together playing happier roles.

I have heard the “better known” songs from “Door Ki Aawaaz” (1964) but that is not saying much, since this movie apparently had many more great songs than what met my eyes (and ears) till now. I see that Raja had given me a farmaish for two songs from this movie that I had never herad before.

For those who are into trivia, here is an interesting bit of information. Hemant Kumar sang just four songs under the music direction of Shankar Jaikishan. All these songs were sung in 1953 and 1954. One of these songs was in “Shikast” (1953)- “Ham kathputle kaath ke” and another was in “Patita” (1953)-“Yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum”. These songs are already posted in this blog.

This song was a popular song during its time. When I listened to it, I thought that R D Burman was the music director. It was only much later that I realised that the music director was not R D Burman , but a newcomer called Bappi Lahiri. Yes, Bappi Lahiri was creating great impression in the minds of music lovers. He had created some nice music in “Zakhmee” (1975), his debut music and then in “Chalte Chalte” (1976).
