“Chacha Chaudhary” (1953), which was one of the earlier movies of Madan Mohan was interesting in the sense that he preferred Asha Bhonsle’s voice over Lata’s voice for female solo songs. Lata’s voice was used only for duets in this movie. Rajinder Krishan was the lyricist.

“Gehra Daagh” was a movie of 1963. I was not aware about this movie till recently ( that is till yesterday).
This movie had Rajendra Kumar and Mala Sinha in lead roles.
Just because I was not aware of this movie does not mean this movie has unknown songs. Take this song from this movie. This song “tumhe paake hamne jahaan paa liyaa hai” is a duet sung by Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. I am sure that I have listened to this song many a times in the past, though I was not paying much attention on those occasions.

I had never heard about this movie called “Main Suhagan Hoon”(1964). I have never heard about the lead actors of this movie. And I have never heard about the music director. So what does this say about this song ? That it must be just another forgotten song from the past ?
