Music has always been an enchanting appeal for me, since my childhood. Having grown up on a listening diet of radio programs on AIR and Radio Ceylon, the music of Hindi films has been the best charm for me. In the eighties, fresh out of college, and into my first job, the earnings meant that now I could buy music that I wanted to listen. Cassette tapes were the popular media in those days, and making copies of music from records was a rampant cottage industry.

In olden days, becoming a train driver was a fond dream of every kid. And those who actually became one were looked upon with awe by his near and dear one’s. During the British days, most drivers in Indian Railways used to be Anglo Indians and that showed their status in society.

“Chakradhaari” (1954) is a religious/mythological movie and one expects its songs to be mainly prayers etc. And indeed there are several such songs. But this movie also has songs that are more “mainstream” in the sense that they have more to do more with human relations rather than with the Almighty.

Saigal Saab and Suraiyyaa were to be paired together in 3 films between 1945 and 1947. Tadbeer (1945) was the first such film in which these two singer-star sensations came together. Tadbeer is a social drama produced and directed by Jayant Desai. The film presented an impressive star cast that includes Saigal Saab, Suraiyyaa, Mubarak, Jillobai, Rehana, Salvi, Reva Shankar, Amina, Shalini, Raja Joshi and Shashi Kapur. (This last name is not the Shashi Kapoor that we are all familiar with).

It is difficult to imagine how Mukesh (of dard bhare naghme fame) would sound on Mehmood (known for loud comedy). Well, stereotyping aside,we actually have instances of Mukesh singing for Mehmood.

I can watch songs of a movie any number of times. On the other hand, I find watching the same movie a waste of my time. Perhaps I have become “mature” with time. As a sign of this “maturity”,I would rather spend three hours trying to get the lyrics of a song right than watch the movie containing this song which may take less time.:D

When I started this blog,remembering which songs I had posted and which were yet to be posted was easy in the beginning. One could remember it in one’s mind. But as the number of songs increased, I needed to keep track of them, because sometimes ( on two or three occasions) I repeated the same song. Thankfully some of my alert readers pointed this fact out to me, and I replaced the duplicated song with another song.
