While selecting songs for this series, I came across this song. The credits of this song said- Lata and Honey Irani. I immediately checked HFGK. There also the same information was there. I knew that Honey Irani had no singing history. I first listened to this song. I found that there are no singing lines to Honey Irani, she just utters 2 or 3 words in the song. However I selected this song because-
1. Since the Video was available, we could watch the curly haired cutie Honey Irani.
2. The Lyrics of this song are like Anokhe Bol and
3. It was a song from 1960, when Lata’s voice still had that magic in it.

This is a song from LAJAWAB-1950. Anil Biswas was the Music Director. By 1950, he had been in the Hindi film industry for about 15 years. He was hailed as the original composer and also the senior most one to be called “Bhishma Pitamah” of the HFM. He had attained fame, name, money, love and position in the industry, but one thing always bothered him and that was that, he had not been able to compose any song for Saigal or Noorjehan.

One day, I was searching for something in the Hindi Film Geet Kosh (HFGK) by Harmandir Hamraz ji. While skipping through pages, I noticed a very peculiar thing. I sat up and started from the beginning all over again. I began from films of 1947 upto 1980 and confirmed what I had noticed.

This is a song from Film- Paapi-1953, a film largely remembered for the only Double Role that Raj kapoor ever did in his career. Another reason to remember this film was that this was a film Directed by Sardar Chandulal Shah, the owner of Ranjit Studios and Ranjit Movietone. To understand why his direction was important in this film, we will have to go into the history of Ranjit first.
