“Gehra Daagh” was a movie of 1963. I was not aware about this movie till recently ( that is till yesterday).
This movie had Rajendra Kumar and Mala Sinha in lead roles.
Just because I was not aware of this movie does not mean this movie has unknown songs. Take this song from this movie. This song “tumhe paake hamne jahaan paa liyaa hai” is a duet sung by Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. I am sure that I have listened to this song many a times in the past, though I was not paying much attention on those occasions.

Rafi, who had seen his crown as the leading male singer taken over in early 1970s, was in fact almost without work for nearly one year, that is how strongly the gale force of Kishore Kumar’s singing had hit Bollywood music scene those days. But towards the later half of 1970s, one witnesses a resurgence on the part of Rafi. He sang several great songs and it looked like he was yet again on the way to stake claim for the top spot before his untimely demise in 1980.

I had never heard about this movie called “Main Suhagan Hoon”(1964). I have never heard about the lead actors of this movie. And I have never heard about the music director. So what does this say about this song ? That it must be just another forgotten song from the past ?

This movie was a very moving tale of a Pathan from Afghanistan who lives in Calcutta away from his family, including his young daughter, and he misses her every day. He adores Minnie ( a young girl) in Calcutta and after initial apprehensions, she too takes to him.
