Today’s song is from the film Dr.Z-1959.
When I first saw the title of this film, I thought it to be a Sci- Fi film. In the period of the 1950s and the 1960s many Sci Fi films from Hollywood were coming to India and our clever filmmakers used to grab the story matter. By making few changes in the story to protect themselves from legal action (like the film Begunah-1957), Hindi films were made by them. It is not that there was a shortage of good stories or there were no creative story writers in the industry, but many B and C grade filmmakers found this method profitable and saleable. In those days, a certain section of the film audience was devoted to such films.
However, when I found later – to my dismay – that this was just an ordinary crime story film mixed with a Love story, I was disappointed. looking at its cast, director and the Music director, one could easily guess the type of film that it was. The title of the film was supposed to arouse the interest of the fixed audience.

Somewhere in the late 2011 AK ji, of Songsofyore.com, had written on this Blog about the importance of NFS. After reading his views, I too wrote a rather lengthy comment supporting the inclusion of NFS on this Blog. Our contention was that, prior to Hindi Film Music becoming popular all over India, it was those ghazals, Geets and Bhajans, privately sung and recorded by various artists which had ruled the tastes of music lovers. In fact many famous singers had recorded NFS in the beginning phase of their singing careers. Some names are Talat Mehmood, Saigal, Pankaj Mullick, Jagmohan and Juthika Roy !
