“Nikaah” (1982) was a movie which was produced and directed by B R Chopra. The movie had Raj Babbar, Salma Agha, Deepak Parashar, Asrani etc in it. Those were the days when Indians regarded “phoren” stuff and people as objects of great curiosity value, even if “phoren” only meant neighbours. Thus Pakistani and Bangladeshi artists were welcomed with open arms in Hindi movies. Runa Laila, Salma Agha, Nazia Hasan were some of the artists who benefitted as a result.

The last few days have seen not one but two artists of the golden era departing from our midst. Music director Ravi left us one day before Holi and Joy Mujherji one day after holi. We, who in this blog discuss the songs of the golden era on a daily basis, are so familiar with the artists involved in these songs that they feel like close acquaintances. So any living artist breathing his/her last comes as a shock to us, even when it is well known that death is inevitable for everyone.

The mention of the title “Chaudhvin Ka chaand” (1960) is enough for one to recall the title song of this movie which I was aware of for as long as I can remember. That is how popular this song was. Let me hasten to add that I was not born when this movie and its songs were released, but I recall hearing this song in late 1960s. Other songs of this movie were also popular , but unlike the above mentioned song, they did not contain the title, so I was not aware that they also belonged to the same movie.
