Atul’s Song A Day- A choice collection of Hindi Film & Non-Film Songs

Posts Tagged ‘Dev Anand’


“Ye Gulistaan hamara” was a Dev Anand movie that few people remember today. The movie itself sank without a trace.

Ironically, this movie had a better storyline than some of the rubbish Dev Anand movies that met with better fate at the box office. May be the movie deserved it because Dev Anand in any case would not bother much about authenticity of picturisation in his movies.

I have posted over a hundred songs of different natures in this blog so far. Songs of 1970s that I am posting were those that influenced me a lot, as I was in my formative years during those days. The influence of R D Burman as music director was something that needed to be experienced. Most of his songs just left people spell bound.

This fantastic song that has become a memorable song indelibly etched on the psyches of music lovers across the generations was a magical song when it was released in 1961. This song, picturised on Dev Anand and Sadhna has remained popular ever since. Few people have much idea about the movie ( Hum dono) or about the music director (Jaidev), but the song is one which was never forgotten, so there is no question of this song being not known to any bollywood music listener.

But no, this catchy and racy tune was composed by S D Burman, assisted by his son R D Burman.

Impressing masses and classes both, that too without playing to the gallery must be a great quality for any music director. And S D Burman was quite an accomplished music director that way.

And what about his singing ? Different and unconventional no doubt, but what a voice ! He carved a unique niche for himself as a singer of note.
