Raat ki mehfil sooni sooni

This article is written by Sadanand Kamath, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie songs and a regular contributor to this blog.
After reading my own article on a song from NOOR JEHAN (1967) ‘ sharaabi sharaabi ye saawan ka mausam’ on this blog, I felt guilty for bypassing, in my view, the most beautiful song of this film ‘ raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ sung by Lata Mangeshkar. In fact the very purpose of ascertaining whether this song was in my VCD or not was a precursor to write an article on this song. But somehow I was carried away by the availability of the video clip of the Suman Kalyanpur song. So I sat down for deciphering the lyrics of ‘raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ which was not a difficult task due to the clear audio and impeccable diction of Lata Mangeshkar.

It was in 1949 that Lata sang a song about “Laal dupatta”and that song, namely Hawa me udta jaaye(Barsaat) has become a much loved timeless classic.
Ten years later, Lata sang a song about “dhaani chunariya”. This song is extremely melodious and sweet, but this time the movie as well as the song failed to make ripples and by now this song has ended up as an obscure song.
