Posted on: May 8, 2010
In Bollywood movies, singing is mostly the preserve of lead actors (Hero/ Heroine). Others are required to serve as fillers.

I had been thinking of posting this song for at least one year, if not more. But somehow I was not able to bridge the gap between intention and implementation. One reason was that I was not able to get the lyrics right to my satisfaction. In addition to understandable words, this song also has gibberish (which could well be words in some other languages) that I was unable to note down correctly.

Wow ! I was not aware of this song. What a rollicking and rocking song this is ! This song must be one of the first such songs sung by Kishore Kumar where he sings in the style that would become his trademark singing style.

I had never heard this song. In fact, I was not aware of this movie either. Now that I have heard this song, and watched the picturisation, I wonder where this song was lying hidden all these days. What an absolute gem of a song !

I have no idea when the three letter abbreviation (TLA) called CID came into existence. But this TLA certainly caught the fancy of the public. In the mind of the aam janta, CID means something mysterious, bordering on almost supernatural. As a kid, when I asked my elders what was CID, I was given a highly flattering idea of what a CID was. A CID is a master of disguise. “He could be with you, looking like a normal person, but you would not be able to guess that he is CID”- I was told. I would look around me. Finding no one else with me, I would suspect that elder to be CID. But then I was told that CID are there to investigate crimes. Since I was not a criminal, so I would give that elder a clean chit.

I have been posting the songs of “Sargam” (1950) here these days. It is while posting these songs that I am discovering these songs for the first time. What wonderful songs these are ! And I am also surprised at the number of such songs. There are at least a dozen such songs, and all of them just mind boggling. And it is just as mind boggling to realise that this movie has been forgotten today.
