I had not heard the name of the film BEETE DIN (1947). What prompted me to know about this film was a song ‘arshon pe sitaara hai wo’ from this film which is sung by Mukesh and M A Rauf (Osmania), one of the two music directors in the film. The song’s composition is somewhat different than what one usually finds in most of Hindi film songs. There is no repetition of lines of mukhda in the antaras. The tune is more or less the same for both the mukhda and antaras.

A romantic song in the garden, with the hero and heroine moving between the flowers and around the trees, has been almost a fixture in the formula of social drama movies, almost from the word go. A difference that one can point out that in 30s and 40s, for such songs, the lead pair would be more sober with their movements, and probably be singing with very little movements. This changed in the 50s and 60s, when dancing, running and chasing each other became important elements of picturization of such songs.
