“Dulaari” (1949) is a movie which is today fondly remembered as the movie that helped Rafi break into the big league with the song Suhaani raat dhal chuki. Till then, Rafi’s style of singing had few takers in the Hindi movie music and with this movie it became the new style of singing. It was a paradigm shift which few people at that time may have realised. In fact the management term “Paradigm Shift” itself was not coined at that time.

Because of the age & my limited “soch” to understand the depth of these songs, I never paid any attention either to watch any movies on Doordarshan or to listen to those songs on radio.

‘Hum hain raahi pyaar ke’ – the phrase reminds me of an iconic song “ham hain raah pyaar ke ham se kuchh naa boliye” from the film NAU DO GYAARAH (1957) and the Amir Khan-Juhi Chawala starrer film HUM HAIN RAAHI PYAAR KE (1993). I was not aware of the fact that there was one more film by the same name until I came across an audio clip of a beautiful song from that film.
