“Kanyaadaan” (1968) was a movie with great songs but not so great storyline. In other words, the movie did not deserve the song that it got. This is the view of Memsaab, who must be the most tolerant reviewer of Hindi movies that one can come across.

Singing filmy songs is a career not only for playback singers but also for small time beggars etc in real life. We in these pages have discussed beggars singing Hindi movie songs on Mumbai local trains. I wonder if beggars still sing such songs on these locals, seeing how crowded these train are. Singing these songs on the roadside, or typically while seated under a tree on the streets is a much better option.

When one is searching for music from the so called second rung music directors, one begins to come across films one never imagined they existed. Take this one for example. Kind of lost in the list of similar sounding films. There is a fair number of films that start with the word “Rustom”. ‘Rustom-e-Hind’, ‘Rustom-e-Rome’, ‘Rustam Sohrab. etc. This film has not yet appeared on this blog. So with this song, now the film “Rustom –e- Baghdad” makes an entry here. Produced in 1963 under the banner of Henna Films, Bombay and directed by BJ Patel. The star cast is impressive (for B/C grade) and includes Dara Singh, Vijaya Chaudhry, Chandrashekhar, Shakila Banu Bhopali, Bhagwan, Rajan Kapoor, Shashimala, Polson, Devichand, Sumitra, Maya Tandon, Bakhshi etc. As to the storyline, I would request other knowledgeable readers to please add more information about this film.
