I thought that there should be at least one song of Jaidev from a film for which he got National Award for the best music direction, for discussion on the occasion of his death anniversary which is on January 6th. The ghazal is from film GAMAN (1978) – “Aapki yaad aati rahi raat bhar”. The ghazal was wriiten by Maqdoom Mohiuddin, the famous urdu poet and then a member of Communist Party of India. This has been sung by many ghazal singers but I like the way Chhaya Ganguli has sung this ghazal and also the tune and soft orchestra used by Jaidev to reflect the mood of the ghazal.

January 6th is the death anniversary of Jaidev Verma, known as Jaidev in Hindi film world. He was one of those unlucky music directors who, despite being extremely talented, did not make it to the top in Bollywood. He had given hit songs in Hum Dono (1961), Kinaare Kinaare (1963), Mujhe Jeene Do (1963), Reshma Aur Shera (1972) , Gaman (1979) and many more. He is the only music director who won National Award for best music direction three times for Hindi films – Reshma Aur Sehra, Gaman and Ankahee.
