Most of of the present generation of music lovers may not remember Shiv Dayal Batish ( S D Batish), the classical musician, vocalist, playback singer and music director. During his filmy career in 40s and 50s, he composed music for 19 films (including 2 films with his pseudo name of Nirmal Kumar) and sang about 100 songs.

Hindi film industry has given rise to several controversies, some of them are settled, some are forever a question mark and some controversies come up again and again with the slightest of provocation. The worst thing in a controversy is that even if statements of clarification are given by the concerned people involved with it, it is viewed with suspicion of a personal bias.

This is a song from film ‘Shair’ (1949). I am not sure if that is the correct name for this film. If the name is ‘Shaayar’ or ‘Shaayir’ than it will mean ‘the poet’. If it is ‘Shair’ than it is ‘a couplet’. Eight songs from this film have appeared in this blog. I was able to find only one Rafi song in this film which is luckily not posted.

At the same time he composed soft and extremely melodious songs based on various Ragaas also. He took Lata Mangeshkar to the pinnacle where she remained, later, on her own merit, for a long period. Very few composers have exhibited such variety in their music. It was a fact that many of his films were sold merely on the strength of his music.
