I may have heard this song in the past but only in passing. This time I heard it attentively, and found out about its details. I came to know that this song was from “Chori Chori” (1956). Now I wonder just how many great songs were there in “Chori Chori” (1956).

C Ramchandra was one of the earlier pioneers of Bollywood movie music. He was one of the first music directors to make the most of the voice of Lata. In fact, Lata-C Ramchandra compositions are comparable to Lata-Madan mohan compositions, which came later.

I have been posting songs in this blog for the last one year and I have wondered at the quantity and quality of songs that I did not know existed ! Many of my 1700 plus songs are songs which I had not heard before I began this blog.

Tum sang preet lagaayi rasiyaa

“New Delhi”(1956) is a movie that I find interesting. This movie had Kishore Kumar and Vyjyanti Mala in lead roles. This movie is interesting because it shows New Delhi as it was more than fifty years ago. Many important landmarks that we take for granted today in New Delhi were non existent at that time, as we can see from watching this movie.

Beimaan baalmaa maan bhi jaa

This is a song from “Ham Sab Chor Hain” (1956). It is a movie where Shammi Kapoor( of his pre Shammi mannerisms days) is seen with Nalini Jaiwant. From the picturisation, it seems that Nalini Jaiwant enters Shammi Kapoor’s room without his permission and policemen look at her suspiciously. She calls for Shammi Kapoor (beimaan baalma). When he turns up, the policemen are satisfied and go away. Shammi Kapoor ofcourse wants nothing of her and he tries to throw her out even though she has not yet completed her singing. The protocol in Bollywood songs is, one waits for the song to end before one throws the singer out. 😉
