In the late 1940s/early 1950s, South Indian production houses began making films in Hindi. AVM Productions became very well-known with their runaway hit, Bahar in 1951. This was based on a superhit Tamil film and was the movie that launched Vyjanthimala in Hindi movies.

I have not seen “Wo Kaun Thhi” (1964) but I know that Manoj Kumar and Sadhana were the lead actors in this movie. Knowing Hindi movies, the lead duo in Hindi movies must fall in love and sing romantic duets. I have posted as many as five songs from this movie and I just realised that none of these songs were romantic duets picturised on the lead pair. There were songs picturised on them, but those songs were solo songs sung by Lata (and lip synced by Sadhana). In other words, Manoj Kumar did not get to lip sync in the songs picturised on Manoj Kumar and Sadhana.

I was under the impression that I had already discussed this song long back, and so I was surprised to know that I was wrong. I do not know how I missed discussing this song in the past.

I have noticed that Hindi movies rarely show actors keeping pets like say cats and dogs. When I was growing up in 1960s and 1970s, most Indian families regarded keeping pets a luxury that average families could ill afford. Then there were people who were superstitious and they thought that a cat especially black one crossing their path was inauspicious. Only villains would keep pets in Hindi movies.

The movie “Barsaat Ki Raat” (1960) was a movie that was a qawwali bonanza as this movie consisted mainly of one awesome qawwali following other. After the huge success of this movie, other movie makers tried to ape its success formula by coming with movies with similar theme. One of these movies was called “Qawwali Ki Raat” (1964) thus leaving no ambiguity about the fact that it was inspired from “Barsaat Ki Raat” (1960).

This is a category of songs that I heard in my younger days for a few times without being aware of any details and then I forgot all about it. Now, more than four decades later, I became aware of this song thanks to its farmaish. When I listened to this son again, it was like being re united with a song that had got separated from me during my childhood.

Mehfil se uthh jaane waalon

After posting four songs for the day, I suddenly realised that today is 16th november, Roshan’s death anniversary. My original plan was to discuss only Roshan songs and a total of five Roshan songs today. I can do that even now, but that would be an overkill. So I am going to discuss two Roshan songs today.
