When ‘Dil Deke Dekho’ was released in 1959, the only thing I remembered at that time about the movie was that it was a film in which Asha Parekh was introduced as a new heroine to pair with Shammi Kapoor. The film was a super hit and its songs became very popular. But little did I know at that time that the film’s songs were composed by a new music director called Usha Khanna. In fact, I carried a wrong impression for some time that O P Nayyar was the music director of this film. Even for her second film ‘ Hum Hindustani’ which was released in 1960, I thought that the music director was Dattaram, the music assistant to Shankar-Jaikishan. I carried these impressions as the music compositions of these two films were very close to the styles of O P Nayyar and Shankar Jaikishan respectively. After about 4 decades when I revisited her songs, mostly of 60s and 70s, I felt that she had developed her own style of music for the songs of her later films.

On the occasion of Kishore Kumar’s birth anniversary on August 4th, the wheel of time(kalchakra) takes me back to my teens when I used to listen to Radio Ceylon’s programme on old Hindi film songs. On the first day of every month, the first song that was played on this programme was din hai suhaana aaj pahli taarikh hai from the film ‘Pahli Taarikh’ (1954). That was the time when I came to know about Kishore Kumar as a singer. It was a revelation to me later from the film ‘New Delhi’ (1956) that he was not only a singer but an actor also. With his many subsequent films in 50s and early 60s, I had taken it for granted that he was a comedian who sang mostly fun songs and that too for himself.
