But then I discovered and posted another awesome song (Haan deewaanaa hoon main (Saarangaa)) from this movie. And now I am discovering that other songs of this movie are also wonderful songs. In other words, this movie is a musical blockbuster !

I first became aware of the movie “Saarangaa” (1960) in 1970s when I heard the title song of this movie in the local station of Vividh Bharati in the evening. It was then that I first heard about music director Sardar Malik. For a considerable time after that, I associated the title song of “Saranga” with Sardar Malik. This song (Saarangaa teri yaad mein(Saarangaa)(1960) )is already posted in this blog.

Bollywood movies of the past may have been differentiated on the basis of their budget into A grade, B grade, C grade etc, but there was no such differentiation in the quality of music in all these movies. Even C grade movies used to have outstanding music. But the music of C grade movies suffered mostly because of lack of exposure since records of these songs were hardly made. And record players were in any case unaffordable for most music lovers.

Till recently, scoring centuries of songs took me just a fortnight. But now I have slowed down considerably. My previous century (song number 2101 to 2200) took me one month. Even that was much faster than my present century. Yes, this song is song number 2300 for this song, and it has taken me a tortoise like two months and a half to reach from 2201 to 2300 !

It is often said that one needs to use heavy duty Urdu words to come up with romantic ( as well as other kinds of) songs, and people agree. But the facts are, most of the lyricists in the formative years of Bollywood movie songs were more familiar with Urdu and they created such songs using words they were more comfortable with. Listeners who were not familiar with Urdu were often clueless about many words in these songs. Many listeners, such as yours truly, did not know what words like “ulfat”, fitrat” etc meant. People would guess about the meanings of these words in the context of the topic. Sometimes their guess would turn out to be correct, and sometimes not.
