I have experienced this many times, and maybe you too could have experienced the same. The music of his songs has the quality to transport the listener to another place, another time. Just close your eyes and relax – and listen to a song like “Parbaton Ke Pedon Par Shaam Ka Baseraa Hai”(film ‘Shagoon’, 1964). The flowing waves of music will transport the listener to a vista of hills and trees with the sun slowly descending the western horizon. Or the song “Bahaaro, Mera Jeevan Bhi Sanwaaro” (film ‘Aakhri Khat’, 1966). Or the song “Apne Aap Raaton Mein Chilmanein Sarakti Hain” (film ‘Shankar Hussain’, 1976). Or the song “Simti Hui Ye Ghadiyaan” film ‘Chambal Ki Kasam’, 1979). Or the song “Aa Jaa Re Aa Jaa Re O Mere Dilbar Aa Jaa”(film ‘Noorie’, 1979). Or the quintessential gem “Shaam-e-Gham Ki Kasam, Aaj Ghamgeen Hain Hum” film ‘Footpath’, 1953).

I have been on a old movie watching spree recently. So far managed to see “Mere Mehboob” , “Deedar” and “Kaagaz ke Phool”. As it is, it is taking me 2-3 days to complete the film, because I do not like to miss a single scene or dialogue in the film. It has been a longtime wish to see “Kaaghaz ke Phool” which is finally fulfilled. Having seen “Pyaasa” I was somehow expecting a similar pathos laden fare. But this film is lot different as it is rather brighter with the spirit of ‘lights camera action’.

We have been discussing in this blog scores of songs from lesser known films which are gems but lost out soon after those films failed miserably at the box office. A few among those films even failed to get released. Surely, the producers and financiers of these films must have lost the money they invested. But in the event, the performances of other artists associated with such films went unnoticed. Music Director Vinod was one of such artists who despite the phenomenal success of the film ‘Ek Thhi Ladki’ (1949), could not sustain the success for long as most of his subsequent films did not fare well at the box office despite having melodious songs composed by him for those films. Those songs went out of circulation and faded as quickly as the respective films. Thanks to internet, we now have access to those gems to be shared with the lovers of old Hindi film songs.
