It is a bit of a surprise for me that one of the songs which I had heard from my mother in my childhood was intact in my memory even though I had no occasion to listen to on the radio or watch on the TV thereafter. This is more so when I was engulfed on those days by the popular songs of the early 50s. As I came to know much later, this song was the most popular one attaining the tag of the highest sales of gramophone records for HMV in 1943. The song was ‘beena madhur madhur kachhu bol’ from the film RAM RAJYA (1943). I was not aware of details of the song until I watched the video clip of the song for first time on YT few months back. Before that, I was under the impression that it was a non-filmy classical song.

“Caarvaan” (1971) is one of the first films that I remember having seen on the big screen. And I was then too young to understand the sentiments of sensuality. In later years, when I would revisit this film, on TV and in reruns, I would be more mature to appreciate the emotions and passions ensconced in this song. This film was the probably the first film in which Aruna Irani attracted attention as an accomplished character actor with a wholesome meaty role as a gypsy girl, so much in love with a truck driver.

One of my many weaknesses is that at any given point in time I’m humming or singing a song, completely oblivious to the surroundings. This has resulted in embarrassing situations at times (like when I burst out singing “chhoo lene do naazuk honthon ko” once while waiting for a flight in the departure lounge in an airport causing some heads to turn). Now, if I’d been Rafi saab or Talat Mahmood or Kishore, I’d probably get away with it – but I have no illusions about my singing having anything close to a favourable impact on the unintended and hapless targets of my indiscretions. It is just one of those things that I need to watch out for, I suppose.

A lovely and endearing song – a song that I encountered just today for the first time. Sometimes, well not only sometimes, but quite often, some of the songs by Asha Bhosle, give you a sudden surprise – oh OK, so it is Asha. On first hearing in passing, if one did not know the singer’s name, the mind would not easily pick out Asha ji’s name as the singer. Yes, a very soft, a very humble, and a very mellow composition.

Here is a song that belongs to the category of “how come this song was not posted earlier”. My excuse remains the same standard one-I thought that this song was already discussed.

About a month back, I stumbled upon a song ‘aankhen to huyi band magar dard jagaa re’ from the film BEGUM (1945) sung by Ashok Kumar. Until then, I had neither heard of this song nor of the film which had Ashok Kumar and Naseem Bano in the lead roles. I liked the song so much that I must have listened to it umpteen times. The song is written by Gopal Singh Nepali and set to music by Hari Prasanna Das (H P Das) whose name also I heard for the first time. From the Indian Film Trade Data website, I observed that H P Das had given music to 10 Hindi films between 1935 and 1948 including 2-3 films jointly with Manna Dey.

This song is not one that too many people may have heard before. Those who hear this song for the first time will immediately exclaim that the song has the same tune as Ho leke pahla pahla pyaar (CID) . As it is, the composer is the same for both the songs, but as for being the original, this song is the original and the better known song from CID is the inspired song.
