Mehmood had given R D Burman his first break as an independent music director in “Chhote Nawaab” (1962). Ironically, R D Burman was unable to get any other assignment as an independent music director after that. He continued to work as an assistant to his father. Others may not have cared to look at R D Burman, but Mehmood once again reposed his faith on R D Burman as the music director for his movie called “Bhoot Bangla” (1965). Not just that, he gave R D Burman an important acting role too in this movie !

I have discussed as many as nine songs from “Nastik” (1954) and I have yet to run out of songs to discuss from this movie !
Here is another song from this movie. This is a “growing up” genre of thing. Nalini Jaiwant is reaching pubery and she is developing the tender feelings of the feelings of love and attraction towards of other gender. The feelings of a girl thus growing up has been expressed beautifully in this song which is penned by Pradeep. Lata is the singer and music is composed by C Ramchandra.

A movie like “Mughal e Azam” (1960) can boggle one’s mind even today, more than half a century after this movie was released. And I am not just taliking about the movie. I am talking about several aspects of the movie. It was a magnum opus in every respect.

“Baap Beti” (1954) is an obscure movie. Not much information is available about this movie on internet, and the sketchy information available on it could well be misleading and wrong, seeing that Asha Parekh’s name gets mentioned as an actor in this movie, and that too in the entry of imdb ! That site also mentions that it is a Bimal Roy movie based on a Guy de Maupassant novel and that it had Nalini Jaiwant and Tabassum too in it. Now this information appears more likely. Tabassum , then a young kid could have played Beti. But who played the Baap ? I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this matter.
