Somehow, “Teen Deviyaan” (1965) has gone under represented in this blog, though this movie boasts of several fine songs. One reason why I have not posted most of them could be that I did not get to listen to the songs of this movie when I was growing up and therefore I am not much familiar with these songs.

There have been three movies called “Ziddi” over the years that I am aware of. These movies were released in 1948, 1964 and 1997. “Ziddi” (1948) and “Ziddi” (1964) have some very fine songs and I have posted songs from both these movies in this blog. The 1997 movie of this name is not noted for any great songs, rather this movie is known for a dialogue of Sunni Deol, that went- “ye dhaayi kilo ka haath jab kisi pe uthta hai to wo uthtaa nahin, uth jaata hai” (when this 2 1/2 kilo fist comes down upon someone, he cannot get up, he can only go up). 😉 It is not music for the ears of the baddies, that is for sure.

I had heard this song in passing in the past, without paying much attention, and without being aware which movie this song is from. This time I listened to (and watched) this song in the right earnest, and I was suitably impressed.

In Bollywood movies, poor hero ( during his childhood) typically would earn his livelihood by acting as a shoeshine boy, whereas his mother would sit on a singer machine and sew clothes to earn her livelihood.

Though this song is from a movie of 1961, I first heard this song just a few days ago. And since then, I have come to the conclusion that this song must be one of the greatest songs created in Bollywood movies. And I am really surprised that this song is not all that well known. A song like this should form part of all the “all time classics” that music companies come up with periodically.
