I have posted a few songs from 1950s and 1960s which featured Kumkum. She never made it to the top, but that does not mean that she was not good. It is just that she was confined to C grade movies most of the time, just as Chitragupta found himself confined to composing music for C grade movies.

I stumbled upon this song from a forgotten movie called “Aulaad”. What a song for nostalgia buffs this turns out to be ! This song is sung by Rafi under the music direction of Chitragupta ( father of Anand Milind) and Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist.

1968, the titanium year of Bollywood movie music had so many great songs that a sizeable number of such songs struggled to get into the popularity bandwagon. Many great songs found themselves forgotten without getting the chance to be heard by the audience.

Chitragupta was a music director who was always on the fringes of mainstream movies. Most of the time he would give music for C grade movies viz mythological movies, stunt movies etc, and such movies alongwith their music failed to make much impression with mainstream Bollywood audience.
