In 1950s, we had a genre of songs where a lady, alone or accompanied by other co workers carrying basket on her head would be going on her way to her work while singing a song. The hero and heroine would be at hand to listen to the song. The song in a way would express the feelings that the leading duo have for each other but are too shy to express themselves. alternatively the song may set the tone for the movie. Such a song is there in “Aar Paar” (Kabhi aar kabhi paar ),”Do Aankhen Barah Haath” (Sainya jhoothon ka bada sartaaj nikla), CID (Boojh mera kyaa naam re ) etc. I am trying to think of a name that describes such songs, but I am unable to find an appropriate descriptive name for such a genre of songs. I request our readers to help out in suggesting a name for such songs.

“Dulaari” (1949) is a movie which is today fondly remembered as the movie that helped Rafi break into the big league with the song Suhaani raat dhal chuki. Till then, Rafi’s style of singing had few takers in the Hindi movie music and with this movie it became the new style of singing. It was a paradigm shift which few people at that time may have realised. In fact the management term “Paradigm Shift” itself was not coined at that time.
