“Chhaaya” (1961) was a movie starring Sunil Dutt and Asha Parekh. And like most movies of those days, this movie was a musical blockbuster. I have posted three songs from this movie already, and more songs from this movie need to be posted.

In my bid to clear the backlog of old farmaishes, here is a song whose farmaish was given by Raja more than one year back. Apart from my usual excuses for not being able to post it earlier (too many songs to be posted, I am too lazy etc), locating the video link of this song was a problem too. Now that I have been able to locate this song and I am trying to clear the backlog of farmaishes, here is this song from “Ganga Jamuna” (1961).

Here is a qawwali from “Dharmputra” (1961) which I am told is a very popular qawwali. Farmaish for this song was given by Sid and Raja very promptly provided me with the lyrics of this song, telling me that this song is one of his all time favourites.Thanks to the lyrics provided by him, the time needed for getting the lyrics right (which is the major job for me while posting any song) was saved, and here is this qawwali.

I was under the impression that Suraiyya’s singing-acting career was over in 1950s, but she also had a few movies released in 1960s. It is another matter that her best days were behind her by that time.

Chaandi kaa gol gol chandaa

Bollywood movies of the past may have been differentiated on the basis of their budget into A grade, B grade, C grade etc, but there was no such differentiation in the quality of music in all these movies. Even C grade movies used to have outstanding music. But the music of C grade movies suffered mostly because of lack of exposure since records of these songs were hardly made. And record players were in any case unaffordable for most music lovers.
