Today’s song is perhaps the first ever song of S D Batish that I am discussing here. Not that I avoided his songs or his songs were not good enough for me, but may be all his popular songs were already discussed here by others and I just did not get any of his songs for my purpose. It is purely a coincidence. Actually, I have lot of respect for S D Batish, who did a marvellous job of promoting Indian Music in UK and USA. He is one of the rare people who left the film world, but continued serving the Music by turning a corner in his life.

Today we are going to discuss about a song and the concerned film, which turned out to a great disappointment, despite boasting of all the ingredients that were required to make it a hit film.
The film Garam Coat-55 was made in a time when Nehru’s socialism was having a great influence on the film industry. Many IPTA workers faced the dilemma of choosing between Stark Communistic approach and socialistic pattern advocated in India. The major difference was that Nehru’s socialism never detested private business or the big private industry, but certainly a concern was voiced for the ‘Have Nots’.

If I were to ask you to let me post a special song for a special anniversary that is already belated by six days, as opposed to waiting for 360 more days to post this celebration song, what would you say? And if I told you that the anniversary is really special, extra special; then? I have a confident feeling that you will say – ok, well, go ahead, post the special song, and tell us what the celebration is.
And now, taking this feeling of confidence further, I now know that I have your full support in posting this special song today, no matter that we are six days delayed in making this celebration.

In Hindi movies, stories of old movies are often repackaged and presented as new movies. There have been occasions when the same story was made into two films by the same maker. For example, Mehboob Khan made “Aurat”(1940) with Sardar Akhtar, Surendra, Kanhaiyalal and Arun Kumar Ahuja etc in it. He repackaged the story of this movie and made the blockbuster “Mother India”(1957) with Nargis, Sunil Dutt, Rajendra Kumar etc in it. Both these movies turned out to be successful. If we look at movies of recent vintage then Rajshree Productions made “Nadiya Ke Paar”(1982) with Sachin, Sadhana Singh etc in a low budget and this movie did well in rural and semi rural areas of Hindi belt. One decade later, the same movie was repackaged and presented as a tale of city slickers instead of village folks and the result was a mega hit viz. “Ham Aapke Hain Kaun”(1993).

THE VELVET MAGIC-TALAT DUETS ….Song No.-9
———————————————-
Today’s song is from the film Bahu-55. It is sung by Talat and Geeta Dutt.
Talat Mehmood and Geeta Dutt have sung very few duets together. This is rather surprising because both of them were in their prime and in good demand during the period from 1948 to mid 60s. The statistics in this blog shows that they have sung at least 20 duets in 16 movies (including this song). This figure is higher than the statistics available elsewhere which states that they sang only 13 duets together in 10 movies.

The Voice of Mukesh #68
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
The phase of Mukesh’s career in the years from 1954 to 1957 makes a very ineffectual reading. In these four years, the number of songs sung by him in each year did not even touch the double digit numbers. After recording 10 film songs in 1953, the numbers for subsequent years are – 6 for 1954, 9 for 1955, 7 for 1956 and 5 for 1957. It was only in 1958 that these numbers pulled themselves back into double digits – he recorded 13 songs in 1958. But all said and done, the equations had changed, by the time 1950s came to a close.
