There are occasions when a couple may have strained relations and they may not be on talking terms with each other. But they are required to put up a facade of normalcy in front of their acquaintances. This song is a lovely picturisation of that nature. It is a get together party and the friends of Rajendra Kumar want Jamuna to sing a song. Rajendra Kumar, who otherwise would not speak to her, is contrained to request her to sing a song. Jamuna, with a heavy heart, is forced to sing this song.

“Milan” (1967) was a musical blockbuster. I remember its songs being all over the place when I was a very young kid. As a kid, I would have dearly loved to see this movie, but those days many parents rationalised that watching movies was bad for kids. There is nothing new in that. Every pleasurable activity known to mankind is always regarded as bad/illegal/immoral etc by authorities and therefore discouraged since time immemorial.

Kishore Kumar is mainly associated with light hearted fun songs, though he has sung great songs in all genres including serious songs. It is a well known fact that Kishore Kumar was a natural singer, who had not taken any training in classical music, unlike most other leading singers. In fact,this lack of classical training was often taken to mean by music directors that Kishore Kumar could not sing such songs. I can recall at least one occasion where Manna Dey’s voice was used for Kishore Kumar the actor for a semi classical song situation. 🙂

It is quite common for me to remark that many of the songs being posted are songs that I came across only recently. And I also find myself remarking frequently that I found these songs to be gem stuff, even though the movies as well as the songs contained in these movies failed to get popular.

In old Bollywood movies, most leading actors would be shown seated on a grand piano and singing a song. Now it is not possible to sing and play a grand piano simultaneously, but when you are lip syncingto some one else’s voice and music is someone else’s creation, as are the lyrics,then nothing is impossible in Bollywood.

“Miss Mary” (1957) is a movie that I like a lot. It has Gemini Ganeshan (Rekha’s father), Meena Kumari, Kishore Kumar etc in lead roles and it is a nice, heartwarming movie.

“Milan” (1967) was the biggest musical blockbuster of the year. Its songs had swept all the popularity charts in existence at that time. ( Well there used to be just a solitary such chart those days).
