Look what a remarkable gem I discovered just a few hours ago ! This song is from “Pardesi” (1957). Though I have discussed two songs from this movie already in the past, I was not aware of the fact that this movie was an Indo Soviet production which was made in Hindi as well as Russian languages. In the movie, a Russian man (played by Oleg Strizhenov) comes to India and falls in love with an Indian village belle, played by Nargis.

It is a coincidence that the movies whose songs I am discussing today bear the same name as that of later day movies that I am more familiar with. Thus I discussed a song of “Heer Ranjha” (1948) and then “Sangam” (1954) while most people are more familiar with these movies of later vintage, viz “Heer Ranjha” (1970) and “Sangam” (1964) respectively. Likewise, when one talks of “Abhimaan”, the name of 1973 movie may come to the minds of most, including myself. But there was another movie of the same name that was produced in 1957.
