This article is written by Sudhir, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.

Generally as I keep locating songs online, I keep creating a draft email on Outlook with lyrics immediately transcribed. This list is generally 15 to 20 deep and so the songs that I pick up today generally end up reaching the blog for posting about 8 to 10 days later. But sometimes I come across such a wonderful melody, or an extreme favorite that I have been waiting for long, that I am generally tempted to send it along right away. That is the case with this song. And once you hear it, I am sure you will understand my urgency for forwarding it 🙂

Hindi movie music is enriched by a large number of artists. In many cases, these artists are known more by their work, rather than by their names. For instance, the name Sudhir Phadke may not ring many bells, especially with the younger generation, but just make them listen to songs like Din hai suhaana aaj pahli taarikh hai(Pahli taarikh) (1954) and Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan)(1961).

These two immortal compositions are the creations of none other than Sudhir Phadke whose birth anniversary falls on 25 july.

When a normal human being misses his/her beloved, you expect them to bear it privately. But a Hindi movie hero/heroine missing his/her beloved decides to make a public spectacle of themselves. They quickly burst into a missing you song whose lyrics could be something like “Main yahaan hoon tu hai kahaan” or “Ab to aa jaa” etc. They go all over the town singing the song. One can expect them to be doing that in India, but imagine doing them in the streets of Venice, Italy and the local population not even batting their eyelids !

I came across this song a few hours ago. And I wondered where this song was hiding all these days from my view.

This is a nice club/part dance song from “Parvarish” (1958). The song is sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and the delightful music is composed by Dattaram.

Most music directors have their own musical style and if one listens to the music of a song, one can often identify the music director.

But sometimes music directors may copy the musical style of other more established music directors. We have seen music directors copying the musical styles of O P Nayyar,Shankar Jaikishan etc in the past.

“Prem Parbat” (1973) is a movie starring Hema Malini,Rehana sultaan, Nana Palsikar, Aghaa, Sanjana, Satish Kaul etc. The movie sank without a trace. And the video of this movie is apparently no longer available. So it is not possible to tell for sure what kind of a movie it was.

I have mentioned that finding Sajjad Hussain compositions is always a cause for great celebration. With as many as 56 Sajjad Hussain compositions already discussed in the blog, there many not be many more Sajjad Hussain compositions that are left to be discussed.
