Raat ki mehfil sooni sooni

After reading my own article on a song from NOOR JEHAN (1967) ‘ sharaabi sharaabi ye saawan ka mausam’ on this blog, I felt guilty for bypassing, in my view, the most beautiful song of this film ‘ raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ sung by Lata Mangeshkar. In fact the very purpose of ascertaining whether this song was in my VCD or not was a precursor to write an article on this song. But somehow I was carried away by the availability of the video clip of the Suman Kalyanpur song. So I sat down for deciphering the lyrics of ‘raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ which was not a difficult task due to the clear audio and impeccable diction of Lata Mangeshkar.

I am not a keen watcher of period movies but do buy VCDs/DVDs of such movies mainly for watching the fabulous songs. Recently, I watched NOOR JEHAN (1967) with a view to ascertaining whether the VCD contained the only Lata Mangeshkar song ‘ raat ki mehfil sooni sooni’ in it. In this process, I saw the entire movie. As I expected, the song was excluded from the VCD. In fact, it is said that this song was not included in the original print of the film. Despite some mindless cuts in the VCD version affecting the continuity of the screen play and the bad quality of video, I did not feel a total let down by the film. The story which I knew from the history books was interesting one from the point of view of cinematic presentation. The film was shot on lavish sets and outdoor locations in keeping with the period movie theme.
