Hindi Cinema has given us the treasure of so many melodious singers who never restricted their ability only for the movie songs. The list includes K.L.Saigal, Pankaj Mulick, Jagmohan, C.H.Atma, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd.Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Mukesh, Manna Dey, Talat Mahmood, Geeta Dutt, Kishore Kumar( which is something new to me and thanks to Arunji for that info) and may be few more.

Remembering Talat Mehmood on his 88th birth anniversary today, the 24th of February.
The moon generally does not venture out during the daytime. For if it does, then no one can see it, and no one would pay any attention – for daytime is the time of the sun. No matter however enchanting the moon may seem by itself, daytime is not the time for it.

Talat Mehmood ( 24-02-1924 – 09-05-1998) and the song ‘ tasveer teri dil mera behalaa naa sakegi’ are synonymous. I was under the impression that this song was from a film. But after getting hold of a 78 rpm record ( N.16767) of this song in early 70s, I realised that it was a non-filmy song. I came to know much later that this was one of the top selling gramophone records issued in early 40s and this song brought Talat Mehmood to the limelight as a singer in Hindi film industry.

I was aware of the film Suhagan (1964) but never knew that one more film by the same name was released in 1954. In fact, I found that most of the websites including IMD jumbled the details of both these films in Suhagan (1954). As per Indian Film Trade website, the film was produced by Datta Dharmadhikari, a Marathi film veteran who has been known for producing and directing family drama films. Anant Mane, also a veteran Marathi film director, directed the film. The star cast included Geeta Bali and Jaswant in the lead role and Shyam Kumar, Sulochana, Vijaylaxmi, Janakidas in subsidiary roles.

In Hindi film industry, there were producers/directors who initially started their careers as lyricists but over a period of time, they ventured into film production. As far as I know, this trend started with Kidar Sharma who joined New Theatres as a still photographer and a set painter before switching over to lyricist and dialogue writer. He was followed by P L Santoshi, Nakhshab, Jaan Nisar Akhtar, Shailendra, Gulzar to give a few examples.

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. When I saw the movie-wise list of songs just to know in which year this film was released, I found that two songs from this film have been discussed and this song was not one of them.
