Madan Mohan is known for his outstanding songs that were sung by Lata. But it is not as if he has created such songs only with Lata. He has had some memorable songs with other female singers as well. In fact, if one looks at all his songs in 1950s , then one of the most memorable song sung for him by a female singer in that decade could well turn out to be a song sung by Geeta Dutt.

In 1950s, it was difficult to imagine a music director making his mark without using the voice of Lata. But there were two music directors who achieved this seemingly impossible feat.

Meena Kumari is typecast in many people’s mind as a tragedy queen, but there were days when she used to play happy bubbly roles. For instance, I have watched her in “Miss Mary” and how cute and pretty she looks in that movie playing a normal female possessing a sense of humour. How dearly I would love to see her in similar roles.

This is one song that I just loved to listen to, when I paid attention to its lyrics. The lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni captures the feelings of a newly married typical India woman of those days beautifully.
