O P Nayyar would not employ the voice of Lata Mangeshkar in his compositions, but no one found it ironic that Lata Mangeshkar’s younger sister became the mainstay of O P Nayyar compositions.

I have not seen the film YE DIL KISKO DOON (1963) but I have watched all the available video clips of the songs umpteen times . I enjoyed these songs some of which are audio-visual treats. The film was produced under the banner of Bindu Kala Mandir and directed by Kanak Mishra who was also the story and screen play writer. Star cast included Shashi Kapoor, Ragini, Agha,Jayshree Gadkar, Jeevan, Sajjan, Asit Sen etc. All songs of the film were written by Qamar Jalalabadi and set to music by Iqbal Qureshi. The film’s name may have been inspired by a Helen song ‘itni badi mehefil aur ek dil kisko doon’ from the film ‘Dil Apna Aur Preet Paraayi” (1960), but could not inspire thea udience to come to the theatres and watch the film. The film failed at the box office and with this, Shashi Kapoor’s struggling days to establish him as a lead actor were prolonged. It was about 2 years later that he could established himself as a lead actor with the box office success of the film ‘Jab Jab Phool Khile’ (1965). For Iqbal Qureshi, the film’s music director, once again the luck was not in his favour. His efforts in churning out great songs were wasted in a film that has now been almost forgotten.

Today is 23rd March, a day that is remembered as the day of martyrdom of the three young and brave sons of this earth, Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Raj Guru. In 1931, the supreme sacrifice that these young men in their twenties chose to make for the cause of our nation, became an inspiration for the subsequent generations – a ideal that still arouses the patriotic fervor.

There are some songs which I feel are better heard than watched. The evergreen song “aapki nazron ne samjha pyar ke kaabil mujhe” was one of my favourites and I had pinned great hopes on its video clip. I was disappointed the moment I watched the video clip of this song. Even now whenever I listen to this song on the audio clip, Darmendra’s expressionless face comes before my eyes which act as a speed breaker in the smooth flow of an otherwise melodious song.

Gunaahon ka diyaa thha haq

“Ye Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke” (1963) was based on a real life story, but the Indian censors, movie makers as well as the Indian audience were not matured enough to deal with the subjet. As a result, the topic got diluted, trivialised and sensdanalised to such an extent that the end product was no longer a faithful representation of the case that this movie was based on. In any case, the movie makers had their disclaimer ready (just in case) that their story bore no resemblence to any persons or incidents.

What came first ? Chicken or the egg ? This is perhaps one of the longest standing questions of all time. The question has not yet been resolved to this date. Naturally, of course.
Here is a fun song which begins with this line and then deals with some other equally and even more fun lines.
