I am not much familiar with the name of this movie called “Raftaar”(1955). Thanks to the farmaish of songs from this movie, I now know that this movie had Talat Mehmood and Nadira in lead roles. Talat Mehmood, like Mukesh was toying with the idea of establishing himself as an actor-singer. Singing career of both of them suffered and both of them soon gave up acting.

In old Bollywood movies, actors were often seen singing while playing a grand piano. Songs like that to me were unrealistic, because firstly, it is not possible to play that huge instument while singing a song at the same time. And secondly, expecting the lead actors to possess a huge grand piano, as well as a huge mansion to accomodate the said piano was unrealistic to my mind.

“Baaz” (1953) is a movie that brought Guru Dutt and O P Nayyar together for the first time. This movie has Guru Dutt as well as O P Nayyar in rather unfamilar roles. Guru Dutt is shown riding a horse (that makes this song a “horse” song) and O P Nayyar composes a music that is so un O P Nayyarish (stated with the benefit of hind sight, of course).
