As usual, I cannot keep away from Rafi songs for long. I stumbled upon this movie in the list of songs movie-wise and saw only 7 songs are posted out of 12. The movie is Mastani (1955), the middle of 50’s decade when Rafi Sahab was still finding his niche in the industry and was adding variety of flavourful spices in each new song, he sang for each new actor. The talent of instilling mischief and new murkiyan in the rendition, became the highlight of each music score, who ever be the composer. It also put the other male playback singers in the shade because none could compete. Not the old brigade of singers of 40’s, who sedate style of singing was soon to become obsolete. Mid 50’s was also the time when music score with Rafi sahab as solo male singer started.

Some thought he could find his core strength in playback and people can bracket him into a comic singer, or a theme song singer, or faqeer baba singer. But it was soon clear, that there was no genre of song that the MD could compose and Rafi Sahab could not sing. This was the voice of hero, in romance and sadness, voice of the character actors, and voice anyone else having a song to sing in the films script.

Today’s song is a male duet from a C grade film – Baghdad Ka Chor-1955.

The year 1955 gave us some really meaningful and entertaining films. Raj Kapoor’s ‘Shri 420’ tried to bring in limelight, as usual, the hypocrisy of elite society. It was a great film with a message, good direction and everlasting music by Shankar-Jaikishan, the three specialities of an RK film. From this film onwards, “Raju” became the favourite name of Raj Kapoor’s Heroes.( Like ‘Shanker’ was Shammi Kapoor’s lucky name in early films. Similarly ‘Vijay’ was the favourite film name of Amitabh Bachhan in 20 films, of Jeetendra in 18 films and of Mithun Chakravarti in 16 films.).

Today’s song is from an obscure film Insaan-1952.

The year of 1952 – It was just 5 years since we got our Independence and only 2 years after we became a Sovereign Democratic Republic, totally and actually free from the last contact with the British Empire, like being called a ‘Dominion Republic’. The General Elections were over and a Congress Government, as expected, took over as the new ruler. As far as the film industry was concerned, there was a huge crowd of new producers, who had a lot of black money to invest. This increased the number of films, but the quality was the victim.The proportion of quantity and quality was inverse. Film federation or the Indian government was unable to control this influx of outsiders.

The song being discussed in this article is from the movie ‘Golden Eyes-1968’. It was a movie belonging to the genre of ‘spy thriller’.

I was under the impression that ‘jasoosee’ movie is a ‘detective’ movie. ‘Detective’ and ‘spy’ appear synonymous, but now I have learnt that there is a difference in their purpose and ‘modus operandi’.:) I think ‘spying’ is more correct word here. 🙂 I had always liked to watch movies of this genre. During my childhood days I used to read and like the detective stories of ‘Inspector Dhananjay’ written by Baburao Arnalkar very much. (Interested readers can read more about him in this article written by our respected In-house Encyclopedia Shri Arunkumar ji on the blog.
