Dukhiyon pe kuchh reham karo
Posted on: August 23, 2011
I have not watched the movie called “Talaaq” (1958) but from its songs and some online reading up (both could be misleading 😀 ) leads me to believe that Rajendra Kumar and Kamini Kadam get married, have a child (Honey Irani) then fight among themselves and then file for divorce. In all these, the child finds himself kicked around like a football. when the warring duo finally reconcile with each other and search for their child, they find out that he is not to be found. For all they know, he has become an orphan and who knows, he could well have ended up in an orphanage.

1950s saw a trend of suspense movies in Hndi movies. These movies were obviously inspired by Western movies of the same genre. Some nice suspense movies got made in that decade.
Hindi suspense movies had one thing that was missing in Western suspense movies, viz songs. 😀 And seeing what great musical talents Hindi movies had at that disposal, music lovers have been left with a rich legacy of great songs from such movies.

The versatility of one voice has been unmatched in the annals of Hindi film music. A voice that is a match for any emotion, from one end of the spectrum to another. A voice that renders gaiety and fun as effortlessly as sadness and regrets of life. A voice that could woo the lady love and call out to the Almighty God with the conviction that one actually strains the hearing, expecting an answer come back from the heavens. A voice that has the capability to merge itself into any personality so totally and unobtrusively that the listener could never separate the voice from the character. That is the voice of Rafi Saab, a divine gift that dwelt on this earth for single lifetime, and left behind a legacy that would span an eternity. It is indeed a matter of good fortune to be born in this era, and be touched by the voice of this marvelous, unearthly tenor – a sound that appears maybe once in an aeon.

I came across this song a few hours ago. And I wondered where this song was hiding all these days from my view.
This is a nice club/part dance song from “Parvarish” (1958). The song is sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and the delightful music is composed by Dattaram.
