Directed by M.L. Anand, Bewefa (1952) was a Raj Kapoor-Nargis-Ashok Kumar love triangle. Both versions of its iconic song “Dil matwaalaa laakh sambhaalaa” rendered separately by Talat Mahmood and Lata Mangeshkar are already on this blog. Video clips of its most others numbers too are on YouTube. But the video clip of a superlative Lata number Badnaseebi kaa gilaa ai dil-e-naashaad na kar has gone missing. I am not sure if this number was only recorded but not included in the movie itself. But if it was shot, it would be reasonable to assume that it was on Nargis herself exhorting herself to desist lamenting her ill-fate.

July 14th is the 37th death anniversary of the great maestro Madan Mohan ( 25/06/1924 – 14/07/1975). An artillery man in the army during the second world war, he aspired to become an actor in the Hindi film industry. After the end of second world war, he quit army and came to Bombay (Mumbai). He did act in a few films like ‘Shaheed’ (1948) but the almighty seemed to have already decided him to be a music director. His father, Rai Bahadur Chunnilal Kohli was a big name in the Hindi film industry ( being partner in Bombay Talkies and later Filmistan) in the 40s. But he was against his son joining the film industry. As a result, Madan Mohan had to struggle a lot to get an entry into Hindi film industry of his own efforts. He started his career as an assistant to music directors Shyam Sundar and S D Burman sometime in the late 40s.
