Today (24th december) is Rafi’s birthday so today we are discussing songs sung by Rafi in this blog.

I notice that I have discussed as many as six songs from a movie of the same name that was released in 1947 and which starred Trilok Kapoor and Noorjahaan, but only one song from “Mirza Saahibaan” (1957) which starred Trilok Kapoor’s nephew, someone known as Shammi Kapoor 🙂 and Shyama.

“Shabaab” (1954) was a Sadiq Preoduction movie. It was produced and directed by M Sadiq. Star cast of the movie included names like Bharat Bhushan, Nutan, Badri Prasad, Yashodhara Katju, Wasti, etc. From the songs of this movie, I have deduced that the storyline of this movie was losely based on Sanskrit scholar Bilhan’s work which was written in 11th century AD. Bilhan should not be confused with Kalhan who also lived in the same areas (Kashmir), but one century later and who wrote “Rajtarangini”.

Thus we had movies titled “Station Master” (1942), ” Rail Ka Dibba” (1953), “Railway Platform” (1955) , “The Train” (1970) etc. Much later in 1980s, we had a few more Railway based titles, viz “The Burning Train” (1980) and “Coolie” (1983).
