There are some Hindi film songs, especially of early 50s, which have been in my memory bank since childhood and those includes the songs from “Hum Log” (1951). Two songs of this film viz. Chali jaa chali jaa chali jaa and Chhun chhun chhun baaje paayal (Ham Log) were very popular when the film was released. Those days, these songs were quite often played over loudspeakers in my neighbourhood.

I have mentioned in the past that most movie songs that we get to listen to are from movies that were released. But there are cases when a movie fails to get released but a few of its songs get released and some of them even become popular.
Then there are some cases when the movie as well as the songs remain unreleased for decades, before someone decided to release the audio of the songs from the still unreleased movie.

“Aarambh” (1976) is a recent movie by the standards of this movie which swas released at a time when I was at my precocious best as a follower of Hindi movies, but even I failed to notice anything about this movie at that time. So this movie must have been a big failure at the box office. This movie had a “star” cast of names like Rakesh pandey, Rama Vij, Kishore Kapoor, Vipin Gupta. These names did not ring any bells those days nor do they ring any bells today. In other words, movie with “star” cast was doomed to fail.
