And the young lady, all of maybe 22 or 23 years old, declined; with reason that she was quitting films. The role then was taken up by Saira Banu. The film, with some delays, got released in 1969, and went on to be a successful box office earner in its own right. The lady who declined the role, appeared in the same year in another blockbuster of a movie that actually catapulted her, and her leading man in that film, to heights of stardom.

behti hui ye nadiyaa ghulte huey kinaare
koi to paar utre koi to paar guzre

I heard this recital by Meena Kumari for the first time ‘ Yoon teri rehguzar se deewana war guzre ‘ when Sudhir Sir’s post appeared in the blog, I was spell bound and could not stop hearing it for days on. The recital was so heart wrenching and full of sadness. I recorded the audio on my mobile and shared with all my friends.

A small child’s memory is so retentive, just like a sponge. I am sure other friends and listeners who lived by the music broadcast on the radio, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, would surely remember this fabulous Bhojpuri song. It is one of those unforgettable memories that will continue to play in the minds forever. It is just the way that Rafi Sb has sung this, makes it so endearing. The feeling is almost as if someone is tickling.

A voice that so effortlessly touched the depths of poignancy as no one else could. It was also the same voice that flitted with rapid rhythms to reach an apex exuberance. And in both flavors, this voice simply gets into the heart and the songs come so easily to the lips.

In an article posted today, Sudhir Ji lamented the fact that Religious movies had sadly gone out of favour and fashion among movie makers and that deprived people from the opportunity of watching Jeewan as Narad, Dara Singh as Hanuman and Premnath as Yamraj. 🙂

And then Sudhir Ji went to to discuss a song picturised on today’s birthday boy Premnath.

Listen to this song first, and then search for the familiar. See what you come up with. This song is from a very obscure ‘jaadugar sainyaan’ type film from 1964 titled ‘Magic Carpet’, the name in Hindi is ‘Jaadui Shatranji’. Consider the timing, consider the name of the music director, maybe you will make the connections.
