Sometimes some producers get so obsessed with a story that they devote a good portion of their career to make a movie on that story. For instance, K Asif had planned “Mughal e Azam” as early as 1940s itself and it took him nearly two decades of time and enormous resources to finally bring his dream project to fruition in 1960 with different lead actors than what was originally planned. Likewise, Kamal Amrohi’s “Pakeezaa” was in the making for a decade or more before it finally got completed and released in 1972. By that time the lead actress and the music director of the movie were no longer around.

The year is 1957. The time in the Hindi film industry when the big name banners prominently ruled, and the success and recognition of film music was the domain of the high profile music directors. An era with a lot of stories of how Filmfare awards were influenced, and how the privileged songs were made to climb to the top of Binaca Geetmala list. In such a time and such an era, an ‘unprivileged’ song rapidly climbed the charts of popularity, completely defying the set commercial conventions, and confounding the hold of hierarchical tradition of established big names in the industry, it became the no. 1 song of 1957 at the top of Binaca Geetmala charts. The film – an unimpressive and an unremarkable socio-religious drama by the name of ‘Janam Janam Ke Phere’. The song – an unmatchable and a very endearing duet by Rafi Sb and Lata Mangeshkar – “Zaraa Saamne To Aa O Chhaliye”, an unlikely song of a human being’s search for the Almighty. The deep and impressive words of Bharat Vyas tuned to a lovely melody by a master craftsman of classical and folk genre – Shrinath Tripathi, better known as SN Tripathi.

Sachin Dev Burman started his musical career as a singer-composer, mainly of non-filmy songs in the 1930s in Calcutta (Kolkatta). After joining the Hindi film industry as a music director in 1946, he sang very few songs in Hindi films and that too only those composed by himself. So I was under the impression that he did not sing any songs in Hindi films under the baton of other music directors. I was wrong in my impression as I found a few days that he sang such songs way back in the beginning of his career. As early as 1941, he had rendered a song for a Hindi film under the music direction of Madhulal Damodar Master. This song happened to be his debut song for Hindi films.

We are born with whatever God has given us and we can not change it. Some are born handsome, some tall and some handicapped. Some are born with ‘silver spoon in their mouth’ and yet some are born with artistic inclination.
