Here now is the fourth and final song from the film ‘Sannata’. Earlier this year, in June, when I had started posting the songs from this film, I did not realize it will be almost six months by the time all the songs will be posted. Just four songs. June, July, October and now today. Four simply sublime songs that have come from the pen of Gulzar and the baton of Hemant Kumar.

It is interesting to note the striking similarities in the musical career of S D Burman and Hemant Kumar though the latter was 14 years younger than the former. Both started their musical careers as singers in the 30s followed by composing many non-filmy Bengali and Hindi songs in Calcutta (Kolkatta). Both started their Hindi filmy careers as music directors under the banner of Filmistan – S D Burman in Shikhar (1946) and Hemant Kumar in ‘Anand Math’ (1952).

A song awaiting to be posted for some time. One of the drafts that I lost a few weeks back when my computer had crashed. And now, here it is. A remarkable haunting melody, from the same composer who conjured up the refrain for “Kahin Deep Jaley Kahin Dil”. Maybe a lesser known and less often heard creation, nonetheless a melody that, once heard, will surely continue to echo through the corridors of the mind. When I had posted the song “Koi Bechaara. . .”, Derubala ji had specifically responded with a comment picking out this song as a favorite.
