Yatrik, a vintage film was made in 1952. I had heard so many times, so many good things about this movie from my mother, when I was a little kid. But, was never too much interested in old movies mainly because they had too many songs. Because of the age & my limited “soch” to understand the depth of these songs, I never paid any attention either to watch any movies on Doordarshan or to listen to those songs on radio.

In Hindi movies, there are very few songs that can be described as children’s songs, which comes as quite a surprise seeing that children always form a good percentage of Indian population. Perhaps the fact that they do not hold the purse strings of the family may well be the reason why children’s songs are few and far between.

In the golden era of 1950s and 60s of the Hindi film songs, Lata Mangeshkar had sung quite a large number of songs composed by almost all the renowned music directors ( of course with the exception of O P Nayyar) of that time. Many of her songs of that era are still popular. However, there were some songs she sang under the batons of C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan which were, in my view, a class by themselves. Unfortunately, some of these classy songs were from films which flopped miserably and soon they went into oblivion. With them songs from such films were almost ‘buried’ under the ‘debris’ of the new songs over a period of time like that of Harppan and Mohenjodaro civilisation.
