As a music director, N Dutta worked for films that are a mix of A grade and B/C grade films. He did have some films associated with big name banners. Especially, he worked for BR Films for the movies Saadhna (1958), Dhool Ka Phool (1959) and Dharamputra (1961). Each of these films is a musical bonanza and boasts of a string of wonderful hits.

So I come across this foot tapping melody by Rafi Saab, and as I start looking for details, up comes the name of the picture – “Miss ‘58”. First reaction is ‘wow, ok’. But then, thinking of the film “Mr and Mrs ‘55”, well why not “Miss ‘58”. Then a little more browsing on the blog reveals that there are already six films represented here whose names start with ‘Miss. . .’. and eight films starting with ‘Mr. . .’, and of course ‘Mr and Mrs 55’. And a cursory browse through the list of films from other sources, shows that there still are more films starting with ‘Miss’ and ‘Mr’ that are awaiting entry on this website.

Thanks to Arun ji for prodding the memory cells. Here is another wonderful melody from the film ‘Light House’ (1958). This time around, it is a song of exuberance, executed in a very fast tempo. It is the same team that has given two melancholic gems, “Tang Aa Chuke Hain Kashmakash-e-Zindagi Se Hum” and “Kis Jagah Jaayen Kis Ko Dikhlaayen” – lyrics from the pen of Sahir Ludhianvi, music under the stewardship of N Dutta, and the wonderful rendition by Asha Bhosle.

I know, one of these days, we may come to a point where we have searched and located all the physically existing songs from Hindi films. But I also know, that day is still far off, and we will continue to come up with these discoveries for some more good length of time.
