During my childhood, I got to hear lots of loudspeaker songs ( viz songs blaring out of loudspeakers) where no details of movies, lyrics and music directors were available. Of course that did not prevent one from enjoying these songs. But since these details were not known, one forgot these songs as they stopped being played on loudspeakers.

It is widely believed by people that western music was introduced in bollywood in 1960s by R D Burman and that Hinglish lyrics began to be used in 1980s. One is way off the mark if one believes so.

It is a very cute, and at the same time very philosophical song. In fact, those who may have only listened to the song without watching the movie may even call it a happy-sad song.

This song is from “Do Kaliyaan” though I was not aware of this fact when I used to listen to this popular song on loudspeakers during my younger days. Needless to say, I was not aware who were the actors on whom this song was picturised.

I just realised that “aankh”( eyes) played a very important role in the songs created by Madan Mohan. Just name the movie, and chances are there will be a very well known “aankh” song in that Madan Mohan, be it “Anpadh” or “Mera Saaya” or any other movie.

“Phir Subah Aayegi” was a different kind of movie where all the action happens in one night. And despite such a small time span, the movie manages to have time for several songs. This movie, I am told is based on the story “Crime and Punishment” by Russian Novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky.
