I find that there are 18 songs listed under ‘Song excluded from movie’ category in this blog. Although the sample is not representative one to come to a definite conclusion, it is interesting to note that O P Nayyar leads in this category with 5 songs followed by Madan Mohan(4 songs), S D Burman (3 songs) and Naushad(2 songs). Sajjad Hussain, Husnalal Bhagatram, Bulo C Rani and Roshan have one song each in this category.

So many lustrous gems of melodious beauty are still out there waiting to be re-discovered and re-played. Browsing through the YouTube, or my own collection, or just turning the pages of the Geet Kosh, is an exercise that generally does not fail to bring up a song that is unheard or heard and lost for a long time. I came across this lovely melancholic melody by Asha Bhosle, only last week. And since then, I have listened to it so many times. It is a wonder that the songs of sadness are melodies of such beauty. Possibly it is the emotions contained therein. This song has not made it into any selections of Asha ji, that I have heard of. But I believe this obscure and rarely heard song merits more attention from the listeners.

Regaining the memories of a song heard long back, I tried to locate it and tried to find more about it. Thankfully, I am able to find the audio posted on the YouTube. But then all other information is new to me. This lovely sound of a melancholic melody by Talat Mehmood, is a song from a film ‘Patthar Ke Khwaab’ (1969), a name that I encountered for the first time today. Pulling together information from Geet Kosh, I find this film is produced under the banner of Nagin Productions, and directed by Pal Premi. The main list of stars includes Mahipal, Parveen Choudhary, Sapru, Madhumati, Amarnath, Mohan Choti, Jeevankala etc.
