Today, February 6, 2026, is the 86th birth anniversary of Bhupinder Singh (06/02/1940 – 18/07/2022), singer, composer and guitarist who regaled the listeners with his natural and wounded feeling voice. Gulzar had said about him in some context that Bhupendra was a bit of a fakir, just like Sufis and Sadhus. They look lazy but they are very focused and attentive. There is no greed or haste in him. Whatever Bhupinder does, he does from his heart. Because of his Sufiana spirit, Bhupinder Singh could render ghazals beautifully.

Born in Amritsar in 1940, Bhupinder Singh started his singing training in his childhood with his father, who was a music professor in Khalsa College in Amritsar. But his interest was more towards playing musical instruments. Bhupinder Singh grew up in Delhi after his father shifted there and completed his high school. In Delhi, he got further training from Ratilal and Gopal Krishan Acharya. From his teenage days, he had started singing ghazals to his friends in the tunes set by himself. Side by side, he developed interest in playing Hawaiian Guitar which he learnt by self-studies. He got a job in AIR Delhi as a singer and the musician under Satish Bhatia, another Hindi film music director.

The song under discussion is from the movie ‘Hari Darshan-1972’. It was a mythological movie.

I enjoyed watching mythological movies during my childhood, both in colour as well as black-white (most of them used to be black and white). Mythological movies used to faascinate me.

However I have no recollections of watching ‘Hari Darshan-1972’ dring its first run. But I remember the songs of this movie that were ofen played on loudspeakers during festivals. Its songs were ofen heard on radio as well.

I have presented two songs from this movie in the past . This song, the third song from the movie being presented in the blog was a familiar song to me, but I was not aware till recently that this song had three versions. I was only aware of Lata Mangeshkar version of this song.

‘Imaandaar’ (1987) was produced by Surendra Pal Chaudhary and Sarla Sandhu and was directed by Sushil Malik. The cast included Sanjay Dutt and Farah Naaz in the lead roles supported by Pran, Sumeet Saigal, Satyen Kappu, Vikas Anand, Rohan Kapoor, Ranjeet, Mehmood, Om Prakash, Birbal, Chandrashekhar, Sudhir Dalvi, Dinesh Hingoo, Shammi, Shashi Kiran, Mehmood Jr., Ram Sethi, Subbiraj etc.

The film was a Prakash Mehra presentation which indicates as to who was behind this film. Sushil Malik, the director of the film was Prakash Mehra’s assistant director. The film’s producer, Surendra Pal Chaudhary was one of the partners of Prakash Mehra Productions. Another connection of this film with Prakash Mehra is his trademark film story revolving around a homeless, abandoned and orphaned lead actor, like in ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ (1978), ‘Jwaalaamukhi’ (1980), ‘Laawaaris’ (1981), ‘Sharaabi’ (1984) etc. In a way, Prakash Mehra was replicating his own story who was an orphan child having lost his mother and thereafter his father abandoning him when he was 8 year of age.
