Normally it is believed that old songs are obscure songs and new songs are better known songs. But that is not always the case. I find that several recent songs (anything created in 1970s and later are recent by the standards of this blog. 😀 ) have been forgotten in double quick time.

“Bandish” (1980) was a movie starring Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini. This was a Rajesh Khanna movie in his second phase as an actor after he had lost his superstardom. He tried very hard to regain his superstardom, but it was too late for him by that time. Typically his stellar performance in these movies would meet wit lukewarm response from movie goers. It was in such stark contrast to the response of public in his superstardom days when his appearance in the credits of a movie was all that was needed to bring in the crowds.

This is a gem of a song. And still this song is not known to too many people. By now I am no longer surprised or shocked by this fact that many great songs of yesteryears have been allowed to be lost to oblivion. Indians by and large are not keen students of history and they do not have much appreciation of their rich legacy, so showing callous disregard to such great works of art will naturally follow.

I have mentioned in the past that I believed Nutan to be the original tragedy queen, before Meena Kumari joined in playing such roles. But just now I have realised that the crown of the original tragedy queen should go to Nimmi who was playing such roles almost from the beginning of her career, which began prior to Nutan and Meena Kumari’s forays in to tragedy roles.

This is that kind of a song that I heard in my younger days without being aware of its details, and then forgot all about it.

When one listens to this song without being aware of the details, what does one guess about this song ? It is sung by Rafi and it is picturised on Dev Anand. This song is remininscent of several other Rafi- dev Anand songs and one may guess that this song is composed by S D Burman. But surprise, surprise ! This song is not composed by S D Burman. This song is a Madan Mohan composition !
