Well known names like Rafi, Kishore, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Hemant Kumar, as well as unknown name like Dwijen Mukherji have given playback for Dev Anand. Some people would even like to include S D Burman though I am not sure.

When “Neki aur Badi” (1949), the first movie of Roshan as a music director flopped, the sensitive music director was so disappointed that he reportedly wanted to commit suicide. Kidar Sharma, who gave him his first break, gave him his second break too, in “Baawre Nain” (1950). The songs of this movie became popular and Roshan, as they say, never looked back since.

“Baawre Nain” (1950) was the second movie as a music director for Roshan. Learning from his mistakes as a music director in his first movie, Roshan made amends, and came up with such an amazing musical score in this movie that the brand name of Roshan was launched with this movie. Till today, his descendents have been using the name Roshan ( which was the first name of Roshalal Nagrath) as a surname and as a brand name. And this brand name first got recognition in 1950 with this movie.

There are a few people who say that “Shabaab” (1954) was one where Naushad gave his best music. I hope the people who hold this opinion are aware that Naushad was the music director of movies like “Baiju Baawra”, Mughal e Azam” etc as well. There are others who feel that “Baiju Baawra” could be the best creation of Naushad.

Of late, I have been posting songs from “Aab e Hayaat” (1955) in this blog. Most of the songs in the movie have been sung by Geeta Dutt and picturised on the heroine, though I have also posted a song sung by Asha Bhonsle ( picturised on Helen) and one sung by Hemant Kumar ( picturised on Premnath).

In Bollywood movies, most songs are on the topic of love. In most of these songs, the singer wants to achievemore than what he/she has got. Rare is the song where the singer is happy with his/ her lot and has no further aspirations on this count.

I can watch Bollywood songs any time, but ask me to watch a Bollywood movie containing the same songs and I develop cold feet. I find that the songs are often the only redeeming part of many movies.
