A wonderful, but scarcely heard melody this one. As I am scouting for more songs composed by Usha Khanna, I came across this gem of a song from the film Flat No. 9, in my collection. As I heard it again, after a long time, I simply had to send it in for posting right away. We have already discussed three songs of this film, and each one is turning out to be a melody that should have commanded more popularity and listening time on the radio waves. Alas, there are obscure films and unheard songs that are almost lost. But play them, and the music lover’s heart will fill with appreciation, and also wonder, ‘where was this song so far’.

One song of the film Flat No. 9 (1961) is already posted on this blog. That one is the iconic Mukesh song, ‘Gaa Deewaane Jhoom Ke, Raat Ki Zulfen Choom Ke’. But the remaining songs in this film are no less a delight to listen to. Despite its wonderful music, there is literally no information available online, about this film. From the Geet Kosh, one finds that this film was produced under the banner of WS Films, Bombay. It is a social drama directed by Ramesh Sharma. There are a total of 6 songs in this film, four are sung by Lata Mangeshkar, one by Mukesh, and one by Asha Bhosle. The lyrics are written by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the wonderful music is by Usha Khanna. The star line up for this film includes Ashok Kumar, Saeeda Khan, Tiwari, Jagdish Sethi, Helen, Dhoomal, Narbada Shankar, Ravikant, Dinesh Kumar, Kehsav, Prem Saagar, Razia, Aasi etc.

The decades of 50s and 60s are known as the golden age of Hindi film music, and that for a good reason. The quality of music and songs was absolutely superb, no matter what the content of the films used to be. One just has to untwine one thread on this time line, and immediately there is a gem of a song to be heard. Maybe it is an obscure film, maybe the song itself is unheard, or not heard for ages. Maybe the sound of the song is such that the first reaction is, whose voice is this, whose composition is this. But just let the song play and simply listen to it, and before long you will start loving it, and now the reaction would be, where has been this gem hiding all these years. Atul ji has written over and over again about this phenomena, about finding unheard gems from obscure movies, with every plunge one takes into this ocean of music.
