Ek teer chalaane waale ne
Posted on: May 10, 2011
During late 1960s and early 1970s, when I was a young kid, I hated the time period between 7-30 AM to 8 AM, because it was during this time that “Puraani filmon ke geet” programme was played on the air by Radio Ceylon. In this programme, songs from 1930s, 1940s and even 1950s were played. The singers were often names that I had never heard of. And their singing styles were found amusing by kids like me.

The title “Milan” for a Hindi movie has been used once in each decade, beginning from 1940s till 1960s. Thus we have had “Milan” (1946), “Milan” (1958) and “Milan” (1967). I have discussed songs from all these movies in the past.

People may be aware of a movie called “Zameen Aasmaan”(1984) and even “Zameen Aasmaan” (1972), but there was another movie of this name as far back as 1946. This movie “Zameen Aasmaan” (1946) has been forgotten and its music is just as obscure. Just now I accidently came across a song from this movie. and what a wonderful discovery it is ! This song, which I would have dismissed as “boring” in my younger days in 1970s is something that I would now go miles to listen to. What a divine composition it is !

This is such a beautiful gem of a song, that I heard for the first time today. The movie is Pehli Nazar (1945). Many will remember this as the debut movie for Mukesh, ‘Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De’. The lead characters of this movie are Motilal, Veena, Nigar Sultana, Cuckoo, Bibbo, B Pendarkar etc. The lyrics are created by Dr. Safdar Aah Sitapuri, and the music compositions are by Anil Biswas. The singer is Naseem Akhtar.

Chhoti Chhoti Baatein (1965) is the last movie of the great actor Motilal. Motilal had been active in the Hindi film world for more than 3 decades by then. This was his first (and also the last) venture as a director and producer. Unfortunately, Motilal passed away before the release date of the movie, and in more than one ways, this movie turns out to be his swansong.

“Sheeshaa” (1952) is an obscure movie that had Sajjan, Nargis, Kumkum, Amar, Achla Sachdev, Vimla, Cuckoo etc in it.I have no idea about the fate of this movie at the box office, but I guess that this movie failed to set the box office on fire.
