It is a coincidence that the movies whose songs I am discussing today bear the same name as that of later day movies that I am more familiar with. Thus I discussed a song of “Heer Ranjha” (1948) and then “Sangam” (1954) while most people are more familiar with these movies of later vintage, viz “Heer Ranjha” (1970) and “Sangam” (1964) respectively. Likewise, when one talks of “Abhimaan”, the name of 1973 movie may come to the minds of most, including myself. But there was another movie of the same name that was produced in 1957.

The movie has been forgotten, and with it the songs of this movie too have passed into oblivion, but that is not how it should be. I find that this movie has some very hummable songs in it.

Thaanedaar, viz inchange of the police station (Thaanaa) is a very important person as far as public are concerned. The original term for Thaanedaar, that old generation grew up with, is “Daarogaa”. “Darogaa” was much feared ( and therefore respected) by aam jantaa. Just as members of more educated sections of society aspired to become ICS (and later IAS) officers, members of lower rung of society aspired to become Policeman and from there to Hawaldaar and then rise up to the exalted post of “daarogaa”. Other posts that carried similar awe and shock among public was “Kotwaal”. There is in fact a saying in Hindi “Sainyya bhaye kotwaal to ab dar kaahe kaa” (My beloved has become kotwaal, so now I have noting to fear).
