Initially I thought that this movie “Bhabhi” (1957) only had one great song, viz. Chal ud ja re panchchi but with time I realised that this movie was full of memorable songs in it. By now I have discussed as many as five songs from “Bhabhi” (1957) in this blog.

“Love in Shimla” (1960) was the debut movie of Joy Mukherji and Sadhana. And one must say that the two of them made an impressive debut.

“Adhikaar” (1954) is a movie that is ahead of its time. And as far as its music is concerned, it is timeless as I have been discovering. The movie has several songs of different genre and all these songs are gems.

I am aware of movies called “Aag” and “Aah” which were produced in late 1940s and early 1950s/ respectively. Another movie of a similar sounding title, viz “Aas” was also produced in the same era. This movie had Shekhar and Kamini Kaushal in it.

“Deepawali” also called “Deewaali” means festival of lights in Hindi. There is another similar sounding unrelated word in Hindi called “deewaala” which means bankruptcy, which is nearly an antonym of deewaali. This word play of deewaali and deewaala is often used in common conversation by people.

I have discussed as many as five songs from “Sainyyan” (1951) and I thought I had discussed them all. But now I find, much to my pleasant surprise, that there are more songs in this movie. In fact, I have covered only half the songs of this movie, as this movie has ten songs in it. Ten Sajjad Hussain compositions in one movi ! It means that the working conditions during the making of this movie met with Sajjad Hussain’s approval and he did not feel the need to walk out of this movie in a huff unlike quite a few other movies of those days. And the songs that he composed are such delightful songs.
