There have been songs and songs on the lives of courtesans or Tawaifs as they are called. And there have been many songs where a “tawaif” with a golden heart will fall in love with a sweet boy next door kind of hero. And it will take the hero the whole of the movie to realize that he also loves the “tawaif”. The only difference will be the route the movie will take to help the hero reach his enlightenment about his love for the lady in question.

Since time immemorial, classical and semi-classical ( thumri, dadra, khayal etc,) music have been the privilege mainly of the higher strata of the society. As such, they have not been as popular as the film music as the latter has a wider reach. Then we have the legacy and a rich heritage of regional folk music which remained within the confines of the respective regions. However, with the advent of talkies and playback singing from early 1930s, film songs based on the classical ragas, semi-classical and folk tunes have played a major role in popularising these genres of Indian music especially during the golden era of the film music. In a way, films have become the catalyst for providing equal opportunity to all across India to access music.

In Hindi movies, actors tend to get typedcast and it is difficult for them to change their image because the audience refuse to see them in roles different from their usual ones. Thus we have had cases where some actors played the same kinds of role once they got typedcast in that role. For instance, Nazeer Khan would mostly be the hapless baap of a girl of marriageable age, while A K Hangal would always play an elderly man of principles, while C S Dubey and Kanhaiyalal would always play shifty eyed moneylenders.

When Helen appears on the screen, a very automatic thought that crosses the mind is – the playback singer will be Asha Bhosle. Such is the association between the two, that across the decades, most of the Helen dance songs have been crooned by Asha ji. But yes, there are other playback singers also that have sung for Helen on screen, and it will be an interesting category by itself – ‘non Asha Bhosle songs of Helen’. As I was searching for a special song for this post, it is completely by chance that I came across this wonderful peppy number, a Helen mujra song, sung by Usha Timothy. I heard it for the first time last night, and it is one of those matters of falling in love on the first hear.
