Guru Dutt is one of the few Hindi film personalities on whom one can find tonnes of information by way of articles, books and film documentaries. Within a short span of 13 years as a producer, director and actor, he left us with his rich legacy in about a dozen films. Under his own banner, Guru Dutt Films, he covered almost all the main genre of films – crime thriller, comedy, romance, social, melodrama and period. As an actor, his eyes spoke more than the dialogues. As a director, he was known for taking shots with unusual camera angles. The songs in his films narrated the story of the films on the continuum. His films were artistic within the ambit of what is called as popular commercial cinema. Even 48 years after his death, I guess, he has more fan followings than when he was alive. His films are the subject matter of intellectual discussions and they are a part of some film institutes’ curriculum.

As we continue to unearth more and more unheard songs, we continue to come across songs that will make one wonder and bring a laugh at the same time. Looking for something else, I bumped into this song just a little while ago. I had not heard this song before. And in just one listen, I am completely bowled over.

Many online sources of information indicate that Khaiyyaam made his debut in 1953 with the film ‘Footpath’. This information is erroneous. Zahur Khan, better known as Khaiyyaam, has actually been active as a music director since 1947/48. During the years from 1947 to 1953, he was using a different pseudonym. In this period, he composed music under the name of ‘Sharma ji’. He once shared in an interview, the reason for why he used the name ‘Sharma ji’. His strong interest was music and he moved to Bombay to make a career in films. The years of 1946-47 were very intense with the issues of independence and also the partition of India. A deep divide had occurred between the communities, and a large contingent of film wallahs opted to move to Pakistan.
