It is a well known fact to all those interested in Hindi film music of golden era that Mohammed Rafi regarded G M Durrani as his idol. In the initial period of his singing career starting with his public and private performances, Mohammed Rafi used to imitate the singing style of G M Durrani. In the later 40s, as he started getting assignments for playback singing in Hindi films, somewhere during this period, he developed his own style of singing. Perhaps to some extent, credit should go to the music directors like Naushad, Husnlal-Bhagatram and Shyam Sundar who groomed him suitably in the initial stage of his playback singing. Later, with the popularity of his songs in ‘Baiju Bawra’ (1952), he reached the stage of ‘take off into a sustained growth’ in his playback singing carrier. The rest is history.

Here is a fun filled song from film ” Laadla “-54.
It is sung by G M Durani and Trilok Kapoor.
Now, this Trilok Kapoor was NOT the actor Trilok Kapoor, who was Prithviraj Kapoor’s brother. Singer Trilok Kapoor never acted in any film. These two are separate persons.

Recently I watched GHAR KI IZZAT (1948) on YT. The film was produced under the banner of Murli Movietone and directed by Ram Daryani. The star cast included Dilip Kumar and Mumtaz Shanti in the lead role with Gope, Manorama, Dixit, Jeewan, Gulab, Suleman etc in the supporting roles. The melodramatic story of the film reminded me of some of the Hindi films produced from the South in the 50s and 60s.

Chamkat damkat daamini

In the process of searching for some rare songs sung by G M Durrani, I came across a song ‘chamkat damkat daamini’ sung by him in the film GEET GOVIND (1947) with Aabha and Geeta Dutt. I have not heard the name of the film nor the song. I am not even aware of Aabha, one of the playback singers in this song. Perhaps she may be one of those ‘one-film’ playback singers.
