This is a song that I have heard many a times in the past but all these days I had no clue which movie this was from. It is not that I was not familiar with the movie. Indeed I was very much aware of the movie and I had discussed as many as four songs from this movie in the blog.

Here is a lovely “maanjhi”(boatman) song with a difference. The song is very much a boat song, in the sense that Asha Parekh, looking young and pretty, is standing on a boat in a river and singer this song.

“Kaali Topi Laal Roomaal” (1959) was a B grade movie starring Chandrashekhar,Shakila,Kumkum, Agha, K N Singh etc. This movie should have ended up unsung like most B grade movies, but its songs were so wonderful that they caught the imagination of the public. As a result, the movie ended up as a big grosser.

“Do Behnen”(1959) is a movie that few people are aware of. It is this movie that had one of the iconic Pradeep songs viz Mukhdaa dekh le praani zaraa darpan mein .

“Halaaku” (1956) is a movie which may not be remembered much today, but what a musical extravaganza it was ! The movie has one great song after another following each other.

It is a song that I have heard many a times right from my younger days, and I in fact had noted down the lyrics of this song in a diary that I used to maintain in 1970s. This diary had lyrics of songs noted down by me from radio as well as scorecards of test matches (noted down through radio commentary) that India played those days. 🙂
