#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet #

The song in this post is a nice composition, albeit a lesser heard song that has been forgotten alongwith its movie which had failed at the box office. This movie is ‘Jaan E Jaan’ or ‘Nikammaa’. This movie was launched in the mid-seventies with the title ‘Nikammaa’, but it got delayed and after completion it was finally released in the year 1983 with the title ‘Jaan E Jaan’. If one watches the movie for first fifteen minutes one can find why it was titled as ‘Nikammaa’ earlier, because its hero Raju, in-spite of being graduate doesn’t have any job and even if somebody recommends him for a job he loses it because he is naive and a simpleton(read stupid).

Today’s song is from the film Raj Laxmi-1945.

This was a special film, because this was the First Hindi film in which Talat Mahmood sang his First Hindi film song, as a playback.

I like most of Talat’s songs. He had a totally unique type of voice, having a Vibrato, and his style was very soft.
