“Jahaan Pyaar Miley” (1969) is a movie that I knew from my younger days only because of its title song(Chale jaa chale jaa chale jaa jahan pyaa miley ) which was sung by Suman Kalyanpur. Apart from that song, I had little idea about the movie.

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’.

This is one of those songs that everyone is familiar with whether or not one is familiar with the details of the song. I too have heard this song countless times without being very sure which movie this song was from.

When the movie is called “Afsaana”, one expects to see the famous movie starring Ashok Kumar. This movie is called Afsaana, and Ashok Kumar is in it, but it is not that famous movie of 1951, which was the original movie that had identical twin brothers as well as “separated in the mela” relatives. 🙂 This “Afsaana” in contrast is a movie of recent vintage and it hardly troubled the box office much. Apart from Ashok Kumar figuring in both movies, “Afsaana” (1951) and “Afsaana” (1966) have little in common.
