“Namoona” (1949) is a movie that had Kishore Sahu, Kamini Kaushal, Dev Anand and Leela Chitnis in lead roles. In this movie, Kamini Kaushal’s father fixes her wedding with Kishore Sahu, though she is in love with Dev Anand. And as is the case in Hindi movies, he resorts to emotional blackmail to get her to marry the person of his choice. Dev Anand, who overhears their conversation, also concurs with the old man and advises Kamini Kaushal that they needed to sacrifice their love for the sake of practical considerations.

These days I have become interested in statistics regarding Rafi Lata duets. I have mentioned that Rafi and Lata figured in some 410 plus duets. Their very first duet was recorded in 1947 and it was for a movie called “Shaadi Se Pehle” (1947). It was followed by a one year hiatus and then they recorded as many as 17 duets in 1949.

This song is a long pending farmaish for this blog. This song is “Haseenon ki adaayen”, aka “haan ye bholi soorat waale” from “Chaar Din” (1949). This song has been giving me lots of troubles. For one, this song has not one , but two parts. And secondly, each of the part is supposed to have three singers each and as per credits, only one singer is repeated in the other part of the song. But I can clearly notice that these parts have more than three singers singing in them. Moreover, more than one common voice can be heard in both the versions.
