#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #

The song in this post is from the movie ‘Bandhan-1956’. I do not remember to have listened to the songs from this movie earlier or maybe I have forgotten them. The video of this movie is now available on internet which I guess was not the case years back when other songs from this movie were posted on the blog. I have not watched this movie so far, so can’t say much about this movie. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 05.11.1956.
‘Bandhan-1956’ was directed by Hem Chander for ‘Sarkar Productions, Calcutta’. It was produced by D.K. Sarkar. The cast of this movie has Meena Kumari, Pradeep Kumar, Shashikala, Motilal, Achala Sachdev, David, Kammo, Natwar, Nana Palsikar, Meenu, Bhupendra Kapoor, Leela Mishra, Shaikh, Sarita Devi, Shivjee Bhai, Pt Tulee, Ranu Mukherjee, Asit Sen, Zahar Ganguly and others. Music for this movie was composed by Hemant Kumar. This movie has seven songs which were all written by lyricist Rajinder Krishan. The playback singers for the songs of this movie were Hemant Kumar, Bela Mukherjee, Lata Mangeshkar, and Asha Bhonsle. So far three songs from this movie have already been posted on this blog.

Today, December 31, 2025, is the 7th Remembrance Day of Writer-Actor Kader Khan who created a niche for himself in the midst of Hindi film’s first super star writer duo, Salim Javed. In fact, he went one step ahead of them as he was also a prolific character actor of various shades.
The life profile of Kader Khan ( 22/10/1937 – 31/12/2018) is an inspiring one. It is one more of ‘rags to riches’ stories of artists in Hindi film industries. He was born in Kabul but due to poverty, his family shifted to Mumbai and stayed in Kamathipura area in Mumbai. Soon, he lost his mother when he was an infant. His step mother ensured that Kader Khan completes his education. In the midst of extreme poverty, he completed his matriculation and joined Ismail Yusuf College in science stream. After passing Civil Engineering, he got a job as a lecturer in Saboo Siddik College of Engineering on a monthly salary of Rs.300/-. He worked as a lecturer for about seven years up to 1975.

We are moving a bit away from the Rare/Rarely Heard song series of Asha Bhosle and turn to a beautiful mujra by Lata Mangeshkar. The song is “Dil Ka Karar Layi” from “Kundan” (1972). The song is penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Ganesh.
I used to love this song after its release and till about the early 1980s when it stopped playing on Radio Ceylon (SLBC). Recently when Atul Ji posted another song from the same movie, I suddenly remembered this song.
