Abdul Rashid Kardar belongs to the trio of directors who are called the Movie Mughals of the Hindi cinema world. The other two directors in this group are K Asif (Mughal e Azam, Mohabbat aur Khuda etc.) and Mehboob Khan (Roti, Mother India, Son of India etc.). They are called Movie Mughals, as all of them approached their profession with a big heart, and budget was never considered a constraint in the face of quality or perfection of their creations.

“Heidi” is a world famous children’s novel, written by the Swiss author Johanna Spyri. First published in 1880, it carried a tag line “For children and those who love children’. ‘Heidi’ is one of the most enduring works of children’s literature, being one of the most popular children books in the twentieth century. Even after 130+ years, the story still reads very fresh and has not lost its charm over the decades. My own first introduction to this work was probably at the age of 6 or 7, when I read a Hindi translation of this work, and got to read the English version later.

Talat Mehmood started his musical career in 1939, singing ghazals on All India Radio, Lucknow. He had formally trained in music under Pt. SCR Bhat at the Morris Music College in Lucknow. His voice caught the attention of HMV, with whom he produced many records of non filmi ghazals. His records started gaining popularity, and in 1944 came the phenomenal hit, “Tasveer Teri Dil Mera Behlaa Na Sakegi”, which continues to be a very popular number on ghazal selections even today. The Calcutta film industry took notice and Talat moved to Calcutta. Initially, in Calcutta, he recorded many Bengali songs both for films and non-films, under the name ‘Tapan Kumar’. Talat as a person, had a handsome and commanding appearance and was offered cameo roles in the movies. In 1949, he moved to Bombay.

Both of them suffered financially as well as in their singing careers, before they finally reconciled themselves to opt for just singing careers.
