I had neither heard of the film RISHTA (1954) nor its songs till a few days back. The film was produced under the banner of Rajasthan Productions and directed by Aslam. The star cast included Suresh, Nigar Sultana, S Nazir, Vijaylaxmi, Rammohan, Leela Mishra, Neelam. I could not get anything about the story line or genre of the film on the internet. But from the title, I guess, it was a social film. What interested me to look for the songs from this film was its music director K Datta (Datta Korgaonkar) whose immortal songs from films like ‘Badi Maa (1945) and ‘Daaman’ (1950) had impressed me a lot.

Saajan tumse pyaar karoon main

Recently, I came across a rare song ‘saajan tumse pyaar karoon main’ from the film BADNAAM (1952) sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It was written by Hasrat Jaipuri and set to music by Basant Prakash. I always felt that this talented music director belonging to the golden era of Hindi film songs was side tracked by Hindi film industry for reasons best known to them. As a result, during his 30years of active filmy career, he was the music director in about a dozen films only, some of which were joint ventures with other music directors.

Here is a song from this movie. This song is sung by Geeta Dutt and chorus. I had great difficulty in identifying the actors in the picturisation. They are all familiar faces but they are so young in this picturisation that they are almost unrecognisable. Shashikala lip syncs in Geeta Dutt’s voice. Her accomplice in this picturisation is played by a thin bearded person, who is none other that I S Johar. From the picturisation, it seems that they are upto some mischief as befit the conduct of villains in Hindi movies.
