It is a known fact that popular thumris (or ghazals) ascribed to the original classical and ghazal singers have also been sung by a few other doyens of Hindustani classical and ghazal singers. For instance, Bade Ghulam Ali Khan sang two thumris – ‘yaad piya ki aaye’ and ‘aaye na baalam kaa karu sajani’ to express his grief over the loss of his beloved wife in 1932, which became so popular that many classical singers in the concerts would get ‘farmaish’ to sing these two thumris. Similarly, Shakeel Badayuni’s ghazal ‘ae mohabbat tere anjaam pe ronaa aaya’ which was made immortal by Begum Akhtar’s rendition in early 50s, has been sung by many renowned ghazal singers. In the filmy parlance, these become version renditions of thumris and ghazals.

I am aware of the film ‘Siskiyaan’ which was released in 2005 but did not know that a film with the same name was made some time in early 50s until I stumbled upon a beautiful song ‘tum bhi wohi ho main bhi wohi hoon’ on YT a few days back. I liked the song so much that I at once sat down to decipher the lyrics for posting on the blog. But on a second thought, I got a doubt about the singer of this song which the YT uploader has credited to Kishori Amonkar. As far as I know from the various sources of the websites, Kishori Amonkar’s first Hindi film song as a playback singer was “geet gaayaa pathharon ne” in 1964. Mogubai Kurdikar did not like her daughter to venture into playback singing career. As a result, Kishori Amonkar did not sing for any films until Drishti (1990) for which she was also the music director.
