In the olden days, Radio Ceylon was the catalyst of that kept the memories of old gems of 1930s and 1940s and even early 1950s alive in the minds of listeners. However, one cannot underestimate the contribution of Vivid Bharati in popularising the gems of latter 50s and 60s among the Hindi film songs. In fact, some of the songs from the films which failed miserably in the box office survived in the memories of listeners thanks to Vivid Bharati. I can recall a few such songs that I became aware of because they were often played on Vivid Bharati : tum jo huye mere hamsafar (1958), ye hawa ye fiza ye samaa (1958), baithhe hain rehguzar par dil ka diyaa jalaaye (1959), bahaaron se poochho mere pyaar ko tum (1960), nigaahein na phero chale jaayenge ham,(1960), tum jo aao to pyaar aa jaaye (1962). These are the only teasers and there are many more such songs already covered in this blog.

As I had mentioned earlier, the makers of Tarzan films always wanted to include something special in their films to enhance its credibility and acceptibility. In this process they would not stop anywhere, what if the story is senseless and unbelieveable ? They averred that the audience of ” C ” grade films does not come to the Theatres to quench his literary Thirst, but to get ‘paisa vasool’ stories, which satisfy his basic instincts. So no stones are left unturned to bring out that kind of stuff.

Gosh, it has been a long trek already, and the night is very late as I complete the preparation and the write up for this post. And I am thinking about the 29 months, that seem to have flown by already. I had signed up for getting email notifications from this blog on 1st October, 2010, and today, it is exactly 2 years and 5 months. And what a heady and euphoric journey it has been so far. And all along the way, it has been raining music – most wonderful, and the best. Many beloved and favorites, many loving memories refreshed again with the help of friends on this bandwagon, and yes, so many, oh so many unheard gems to fall in love with on the first hear.

In my last post I hoped that Saanp se badhke mera zehar hai would be the last song entry for Zehreela Insaan (1974). Prakashji, with his infinite knowledge of Hindi film songs, though threw water on this hope, when he showed me the existence of this song. Thanks Prakashji! 🙂
