Badalte Huye Saathi (Episode No. 8)(Shamshad Begum sings with Mohd. Rafi)
————————————————————————–
A few days back, I met one of my old colleagues after many years. After exchanging pleasantries, he asked me,” you look to be absolutely fit and fine. What are you doing these days ? ” I told him that I spend my time on Internet and that I write articles on old films and music. He looked at me with disbelief first and then with pity.

Hindi movies began to have songs as soon as they began to talk. These songs could be classified under hundreds of genres and themes.

Nainon se naina milaa ke – Song no. 09
—————————————–
Here comes the song no. 9 of the series, which is the oldest song so far. I am actually indebted to Sudhir Kapoor Sir, for suggesting this song for the series. This was not available on youtube. Sir was kind enough to upload the song and he also provided the lyrics both in English and Hindi script.

Badalte Huye Saathi (Episode No. 7) (Shyam Kumar sings with Mohd.Rafi)
————————————————————————

Film Industry is truly a Maya Nagari. No one knows how the luck will change the course of one’s career in Film and Music world. Who would have thought that an ill-nourished looking, slim, imple girl, wearing an ordinary cotton saree, with torn kolhapuri chappals-who waited on an empty stomach for whole night for just one song from Ghulam Hyder-would one day become the undisputed QUEEN of playback singing in Indian Films ?….

BADALTE HUYE SAATHI- Episode No. 6 (Hamida Bano sings with Shyamkumar)
—————————————————————————-

When I planned this series I knew that this subject is very vast and it was not possible to cover all major singers in such a short series. According to a source, from 1931 to year 2000, a total of about 7000 actors (male and Female) acted in Hindi Films in small and big roles. There must be atleast 1500 well known actors and the pity is, we do not have complete information on even 500 actors. For majority of actors, there are no Photographs ( remember, for a considerable time, how difficult it was to get a photograph of Shamshad begum or Madhubala Jhaveri ? ). So we know nothing about them except their names.

Badalte Huye Saathi – Episode 3 (Khursheed Bano- Surendra)
————————————
Khursheed, who dominated the 40s with her memorable songs, was about to leave India for Pakistan, after partition. By that time, she had become a major singing star of the industry and was singing with other major singing stars of that time. In the previous article, A rising Khursheed sang with a fading Vasanti. In the song under discussion, Khusheed, on the verge of bowing out from the industry, joins forces with another star actor singer of the time, viz- SURENDRA.
