Today’s song is the last and final song from the film Chand ki Duniya-1959.

The year of 1959 was an year when the musical field in Hindi films was almost ruled by 6 Male singers (Rafi, Mukesh, Talat, Manna Dey Hemant kumar and Kishore Kumar) and 4 Female singers (Asha, Lata, Geeta and Shamshad). Of course occasional singers like S.D.Batish, Subir Sen, Pradeep, Suman,Usha,Mubarak Begum, Sudha Malhotra, kamal Barot etc were also heard. But it was a complete domination of the few top singers. It was not because they were preventing others, but because they were such experienced, perfect and hard working singers who fulfilled the needs of all the Music Directors.

Today’s song is a video song of a dance number from the film Alibaba aur 40 chor-1954.

The names Alibaba, Aladdin and Sindbad immediately revive the memories of childhood. Readers in the age group of 65+ will surely drift into Nostalgia. These are some of the popular stories from the ‘Arabian Nights’, one of the Bestsellers of the world. There is hardly any language with a script, which has not translated these stories into their literature. Out of the 1001 stories of the Arabian Nights, the other popular stories were that of Hatimtai and Gul-E-Bakavali.

Today’s song is from the film Chand ki Duniya-1959.

Man has always been curious about the unknown matters like his future, after death existence or the various planets. Maybe this age-old desire promoted study of the Occult and the various Fortune telling sciences, everywhere in the world in different civilisations over thousands of years. Whether Fortune telling is a science or not is a matter of debate, but the fact remains that almost every person believes, at the back of his mind, that such sciences, in fact, were much developed in the early stages of mankind.
