The name Sulochana Kadam may not ring bells for many except for old Hindi film songs buffs. I was not aware of this name as a playback singer in Hindi film industry until I got a 78 RPM gramophone record of her song ‘mausam aaya hai rangeen’ from film ‘Dholak’ (1951) sometime in early 70s. But I was aware of the name Sulochana Chavan as the famous lavani singer of Maharashtra.

My all-time favourite Lata-Kishore duet is from the Famina Production’s Fareb (1953) ” Aa, mohabbat ki basti basaayenge hum”, in which the duo are at their soulful best in expressing the pangs of separation of the two lovers, so poignantly captured in Majrooh Sultanpuri’s breath-taking imagery “dekh dharti se aakaash hai kitni door!”
