Today’s song is from an obscure film of the Golden Era – Sahil-1959.
Personally, I had never heard of this film. Though after Tumsa Nahi Dekha-1957, Shammi Kapoor had changed his looks – by removing his mustache, which never suited him – and style of acting, somehow this film never appealed to the viewers. I don’t even remember when it was in the theatres ! While going through the HFGK, I found the reason. It seems the film was made in 1955/56 and even the songs were recorded in 1954/55. For unknown reasons the film was censored on 8-4-1959 and was finally released in October 1959.
Since this film belonged to the period of Shammi Kapoor’s old style- with mustache – and by 1959-60 he was on a success ride, no one wanted to see this film. As such there was nothing notable in this film. The story was weak,the starcast was ordinary and the songs were not good enough to attract the audience. So the film flopped and disappeared from the theatres quickly.
