I had taken it for granted that the song ‘zindagi ki kasam ho chuke unke ham’ from film MAALIK (1958) has already been discussed in this blog.

“Lakeeren” (1954) has by now ended up as an obscure movie, but that is not how it must have been during its time. It was a Sushil Pictures production and it was directed by Harbans. Starcast of the movie included big names like Ashok Kumar, Nalini Jaiwant, Pran, Durga Khote, Ramayan Tiwari, Cuckoo etc.

Regaining the memories of a song heard long back, I tried to locate it and tried to find more about it. Thankfully, I am able to find the audio posted on the YouTube. But then all other information is new to me. This lovely sound of a melancholic melody by Talat Mehmood, is a song from a film ‘Patthar Ke Khwaab’ (1969), a name that I encountered for the first time today. Pulling together information from Geet Kosh, I find this film is produced under the banner of Nagin Productions, and directed by Pal Premi. The main list of stars includes Mahipal, Parveen Choudhary, Sapru, Madhumati, Amarnath, Mohan Choti, Jeevankala etc.

Starcast was an all family affair, what with V Shantaram and Jayshree playing the lead roles in this movie. Lalita Pawar, Wasti, G. Nirula, Shams Lucknavi, Saroj, Sandhya, Baran, Nimbalkar etc were the other actors in this movie.

It is not just I, but the regulars of this blog too keep coming across rare musical gems from Hindi movies.

Here is what Khyati Bhatt, a regular contributor to this blog, discovered recently. Like her, I too believe that this song has to be one of the most remarkable songs that Talat Mehmood has sung in his career. It is a twist of irony that a song as wonderful as this one should end up in obscurity whereas it deserves to be counted among the best known songs of Talat Mehmood.
