“Ganga Jamuna” (1961) is a movie that I tend to cinfuse with “Ram Aur Shyam”(1967) all the time. Both movies had Dilip Kumar in them, and both movies had the same musical team, and that is the reason for my confusion.

I have often mentioned it that lyrics are the soul of songs. One of the main reasons why the songs of the golden era went on to become timeless classics was that great importance was given to lyrics of the songs. There have been instances when the music directors patiently waited for the lyricist to come up with the lyrics of the song.

This song is one that I thought I had already discussed in the blog. The first time I became aware of O P Nayyar was in mid 1970s, when I read about him in a Hindi magazine (Dharmyug,perhaps, where it was mentioned that he made a successful career for himself without using Lata Mangewshkar’s voice even once). This got by curiosity roused. I found out that “Naya Daur” (1957) was a breakthrough movie for him as well as for many others associated with the movie. Ao I became aware of all the songs of this movie. One can see the lyrics of several songs from this movie noted down in a a diary where I used to note down the lyrics of songs that I liked those days. One can say that my diary showed which songs I liked in 1970s. And I liked the songs of “Naya Daur” (1957).
