“Shabaab” (1954) was a musical extravaganza and some people in fact regard it as Naushad’s greatest music for a movie, which is high praise indeed.
The movie had fifteen songs in all. Fourteen of them have been discussed in the blog so far.

For some artists, it is never any effort on this blog to search new songs and track numbers posted. Their numbers continue to keep incrementing, just in the process of posting as it is. Some names are really apparent. Rafi Sb, Lata ji, Asha ji, Kishore Da etc. And hence, their milestones continue to occur, as a matter of routine, whatever may be the other compulsions to add new posts. (As I commented in an earlier post, the number of songs of Kishore Da showcased here seems proportionately lesser, only because he made his volumes in the 70s and 80s, and we have on this blog traditionally been focusing on the decades prior to that.)

Shammi Kapoor had acted in over a dozen films as a lead actor in early 50s, most of which flopped at the box office. Chor Bazaar (1954) was one film. It was produced under the banner of All India Pictures and it was directed by P N Arora. The star cast included Shammi Kapoor, Sumitra Devi, Chitra, Om Prakash, Kammo, Amir, Cuckoo. Parshuram etc with a guest appearance by Wasti. This film had six songs all written by Shakeel Badayuni and set to music by Sardar Malik. I remembered the name of this film only because of an immortal song “huyi ye hamse naadaani teri mehefil mein aa baithhe” from this film which I had heard on my younger days on radio. Recently, I had seen this film on the VCD that I have with me. As usual with almost all VCDs of old films, the film lacks continuity in some places because of lots of cuts. I did not find one song ” Har dar ki thokerein hain” sung by Lata Mangeshkar in the VCD.

I was looking up the list of anniversary names on google. Well, of course, I wanted to find out what the 75th anniversary is celebrated as. Now, the fact that 25th is Silver and 50th is Gold, is well known, and well established. Beyond that, going to 75th and on to 100th, I find differing opinions. Many folks would refer to 100th as the Diamond Jubilee, with no specific preference for the 75th. Then again, there are folks who want to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee at the 75th itself going to non specific things like ‘Diamond+Pearl’ Jubilee for the 100th. I am not much convinced with this sequence. Then I found one reference where the 75th anniversary is referred to as Platinum Jubilee. Now this I would think, is a better reasoning. We keep the Diamond for the 100th, and celebrate the 75th as Platinum – more expensive than Gold, but less expensive that Diamond. Makes sense?
