The vast ocean of the Hindi film songs contains innumerable gems that lie hidden from the eyes, in the depths. These gems, overshadowed by the waves of the popular melodies, more often than not, are even more endearing and more heartwarming than the popular tunes that capture the attention of the listening public. And it is the true connoisseurs of this art that will delve into the deep to search out such gems. It is these connoisseurs that value the sounds of the voices such as Suman Kalyanpur.
Greetings and best wishes to Suman Kalyanpur ji, on her birth anniversary (28th January).

Last year, I had written an article for this blog on saajan tum se pyaar karoon main from the film BADNAAM (1952) as a tribute to Basant Prakash, the music director of the film. Recently, I came across another lovely song ‘le jaa apni yaad bhi le jaa’ from the same film. This song has some similarity in music composition with that of preet ye kaisee bol ree duniya from “Daag’ (1952). Even the metres of both these songs, more or less, match. Incidentally, both these songs were penned by Shailendra and sung by Lata Mangeshkar. So one link led to another and in the event, I noted the following interesting observations concerning these two films.

Recently, I came across a rare song ‘saajan tumse pyaar karoon main’ from the film BADNAAM (1952) sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It was written by Hasrat Jaipuri and set to music by Basant Prakash. I always felt that this talented music director belonging to the golden era of Hindi film songs was side tracked by Hindi film industry for reasons best known to them. As a result, during his 30years of active filmy career, he was the music director in about a dozen films only, some of which were joint ventures with other music directors.
