This movie “Brahmachari” reminds me so much of “Mr. India”, or rather, “Mr. India” should remind me of “Brahmachari” considering that “Brahmachari” was released two decades earlier.

Wow, what a song ! I have listened to this song many a times even though I did not have an inkling about which movie this song was from, or even who the singers were. I thought that Mukesh and Lata were the singers. But I find now that the female voice is Suman Kalyanpur. I think Suman Kalyanpur has sung similar number of songs as Mukesh and she had a Mukesh like midas touch too. A large number of her songs have gone on to become very popular, just like how it was with Mukesh.

This song from “Aulaad” is a long standing farmaish of Raja, but all these days I had been hampered from posting it because its video is not available. After searching for its video and drawing a blank, I took its audio clip and I decided to present this song with the picture of Chitragupta, the music director of this movie and indeed of this song.
