In our life, we come across many strange things. There are many occasions when we feel disappointed when we don’t find or get what we had expected. This also teaches us not to get misled by external appearances. There are occasions when we find that our neighbour named Shanti Lal is a loud mouth and very quarrelsome person or visit a hotel called Sheraton, only to find that it is a dirtiest and a third grade joint inside !

In case of a person, at least it is understandable, because no one knows how the child will grow like. I knew one Rikshawala in Hyderabad whose name was Nizam. But when the name of a film is misleading, you not not only get disappointed but feel cheated as well!

When you listen to today’s song, you will realize why Talat’s voice was called Velvety. This soulful, sad farewell song by Talat Mehmood is from the film “Mera Salaam”-1957.

Today’s song is from the film Daaka-59. The film was directed by Nanabhai Bhatt and its music was by Chitragupta – one of the very few composers in films to make melodious tunes in almost every film. According to me, Chitragupta, along with Hansraj Behl, Khemchand Prakash and Ravi, formed a quartet of composers, who had tremendous talents and who made melodious music in almost every film that they were associated with !

Today’s song is unique. It is from the film Laadlaa-54.

One would like to know what is so unique about this song. The answer is that this is the only song in Hindi film music history which is sung by the combination of these four great singers. They are Mohd. Rafi, Talat Mehmood, Shamshad Begum and Asha Bhonsle. As far as I know, It was for the first and last time that these four singers came together to sing a song. Mohd. Rafi features in few songs combining four singers, but not these our four singers. I am amazed how composer Vinod thought of this combination in the first place !

Today’s song is from a film called Chaar Paise-55. This is a funny song and dance video of Kishore Kumar. Funnier was the fact that though this film was passed by the Censors on 12-12-1955, the film was never released in theatres, but its DVD and CDs are available in the market and also the film itself is available on You Tube. One can enjoy the songs and acting of Kishore Kumar of the 50s, in this film. Almost all songs are also available on You Tube.

I am sure Prime Minister Modi ji will pat me on the back for bringing this song to limelight today. However, rest assured, that was not my aim. I just wanted to discuss a song from the film Mr. Sampat-1952. The song’s first lines are ‘Hurra Hurra, achhe din aa rahen hain’. This is merely a coincidence !

Today’s song is from film Naaz-54. It is sung by Meena Kapoor and chorus. This song has a very lilting tune and the Trademark chorus of Anil Biswas. I have realized, over a period, that he loved to have at least a song or two in almost every film, where Chorus is prominent in the song. What’s more, his own voice is always distinctly identifiable in every chorus.

The song under discussion today is from the film Shin Shinaki Boobla Boo-1952. The film was produced and directed by Pyarelal Santoshi aka P.L.Santoshi, who wrote its songs also. One of the iconic songs of Lata “tum kya jaano, tumhari yaad mein hum kitna royen…” is from this film only. It was a film made by Santoshi Productions,Bombay.

Old film music lovers have always been curious about the less known artistes of music, like composers or arrangers and background music makers. Occasional or unkunown singers are also a matter of curiosity. Some of the old time composers used to give music under names other than their own known names. Some examples are Lata mangeshkar gave music to Marathi films as ‘Anandghan’, Snehal Bhatkar used names like B.Vasudev or V.G.Bhatkar in his initial phase, C.Ramchandra gave music as ‘Annasaheb’, while composing songs for Master Bhagwan’s stunt films, and GM Durrani used the name ‘Gunjan’ when composing music for films, etc.
