As usual, I cannot keep away from Rafi songs for long. I stumbled upon this movie in the list of songs movie-wise and saw only 7 songs are posted out of 12. The movie is Mastani (1955), the middle of 50’s decade when Rafi Sahab was still finding his niche in the industry and was adding variety of flavourful spices in each new song, he sang for each new actor. The talent of instilling mischief and new murkiyan in the rendition, became the highlight of each music score, who ever be the composer. It also put the other male playback singers in the shade because none could compete. Not the old brigade of singers of 40’s, who sedate style of singing was soon to become obsolete. Mid 50’s was also the time when music score with Rafi sahab as solo male singer started.

Some thought he could find his core strength in playback and people can bracket him into a comic singer, or a theme song singer, or faqeer baba singer. But it was soon clear, that there was no genre of song that the MD could compose and Rafi Sahab could not sing. This was the voice of hero, in romance and sadness, voice of the character actors, and voice anyone else having a song to sing in the films script.

Today’s song is from the film Hamari Beti-1950.

The film was produced and directed by Shobhana Samarth, for her own banner ‘Shobhana Pictures’ Bombay. Music was by Snehal Bhatkar. Vasudev G. Bhatkar was working with H.M.V. and he had recorded some of his own songs as a singer. Impressed, Sudhir Phadke joined hands with him to give music to filmm “Rukmini Swayamvar”-1946. Being in service with HMV, Bhatkar could not use his real name, hence the pair was named as Vasudev-Sudhir. For more films, he used different names like B.Vasudev, V.G.Bhatkar and Snehal. In 1949, he left HMV to become a full time Music Director.

His first film was Hamari Beti-1950, for which he used the name Snehal Bhatkar- which continued till his last Hindi film, Sehme hue Sitare-1994. Snehal was his daughter’s name.
