These days I am discussing the songs of “Shart” (1954) and by now I have discussed as many as eight songs from this movie. Despite discussing so many songs from this movie, we are noswhere near exhausing all the songs from this movie. We are only around the halfway mark as far as the songs of this movie are concerned.

I had neither heard of the film RISHTA (1954) nor its songs till a few days back. The film was produced under the banner of Rajasthan Productions and directed by Aslam. The star cast included Suresh, Nigar Sultana, S Nazir, Vijaylaxmi, Rammohan, Leela Mishra, Neelam. I could not get anything about the story line or genre of the film on the internet. But from the title, I guess, it was a social film. What interested me to look for the songs from this film was its music director K Datta (Datta Korgaonkar) whose immortal songs from films like ‘Badi Maa (1945) and ‘Daaman’ (1950) had impressed me a lot.

“Shart” (1954) was a Filmistan Production. The movie was directed by B Mitra. The movie had Deepak, Shyama, Shashikala, Mohana, Sulochana, Chaman Puri, Jagdish Kanwal, I. S. Johar etc in it.

Here is a song from this movie. This song is sung by Geeta Dutt and chorus. I had great difficulty in identifying the actors in the picturisation. They are all familiar faces but they are so young in this picturisation that they are almost unrecognisable. Shashikala lip syncs in Geeta Dutt’s voice. Her accomplice in this picturisation is played by a thin bearded person, who is none other that I S Johar. From the picturisation, it seems that they are upto some mischief as befit the conduct of villains in Hindi movies.

Hindi movie Music basically has three major fields, namely singing, lyrics writing and music composition. All these are specialised fields. People who are good in two of these fields can be called musical all rounders.

That way Hemant Kumar was a true musical all rounder. He can be described as a great in music composition as well in playback singing. And that is reflected in this blog too where Hemant Kumar has completed his century of songs as a music director and as a playback singer both. To this date, he is the only artist in the blog to have done so.
