If I were to ask the question ‘what was the common between Shailendra, Jaan Nisar Akhtar and Nyay Sharma’, the obvious answer is that they were lyricists for Hindi film songs during the golden era of Hindi film music. There is one more commonality between them. All of them tried their hands in producing a Hindi film in the 1960s which resulted in great financial strains on them from which they did not fully recover. In fact, after the release of their films, their careers as lyricist was on the downhill and in case of Shailendra, it ended with his untimely death.

This is the Rafi-Asha duet recorded for Neela Akash(1965) but not used in the movie. It is a shame that such a song could not find place in the movie and was relegated to anonymity. Some might say that the other songs used in the film were better than this so this was edged out. But I do not agree.

This is the only song left from the film Bhoot Bungla (1965) on this blog. The title song of the film is unique in many ways. This features the first song by the composer himself. Not only does he sing but also act in this song. He plays the main lead, Mehmood’s best friend, which he also was in the real life.

“Gumnaam” (1965) was based on Agatha Christie’s suspense novel “And then there were none”. And it must be said that this Hindi movie version added its own flavour to the story tailormade for its target audience. I am not sure that the original novel had a butler quite like Mehmood, for instance.
