Atul’s Song A Day- A choice collection of Hindi Film & Non-Film Songs

Here is yet another song of the “how come this song was not discussed earlier” genre. This evergreen song from “Sangam” (1964) added a new term to the Hindi lexicon, viz “Buddha Mil Gaya” to indicate mismatched pairings where the boy is many years senior to the girl. Such pairings were not unusual till a few decades back. This phrase was used in the title of a 1971 movie as well.

Jagdeep and Nanda played lovebirds in “Bhaabhi” (1957). Two years later, they play brother and sister in “Barkha” (1959).

Both these movies had another thing in common, viz lyrics by Rajinder Krishan and music by Chitragupta. Jagdeep had got a song to sing in “Bhaabhi” (1957), namely Chali chali re patang meri chali re.

What could be the second step after a Lata solo ? No prizes for quessing, it has to be a Rafi solo. Mohammed Rafi solo by O.P.Nayyar to be precise. I would have preferred to have a solo song by S D Burman. I like O.P.Nayyar songs a lot, but S D Burman and Madan Mohan’s songs are my favourites. I have a few song by them lined up for discussion, Atul ji permitting.
