The best memory I have of this artist is the visual from ‘Araadhna’ (1969), sitting in the driver seat, looking crisp and dapper in a suit and matching cap, driving single handedly and playing mouth organ with the free hand, maneuvering the vehicle so that it keeps pace with the small toy train as it wounds its way on the hilly trek to Darjeeling, thus enabling a free hand to Rajesh Khanna to perform his gymnastics in the open top vehicle, as he belts out the now iconic “Mere Sapnon Ki Rani Kab Aayegi Tu”, serenading a coy Sharmila Tagore sitting in a window seat of the train, hiding her face behind Alistair MacLean’s novel, ‘When Eight Bells Toll’, but also peeking from the edges of the book that she is obviously not reading.

“Seeta Aur Geeta”(1972) was released when I was at my most impressionable movie watching stage, though my elders did not share my enthusiasm and believed that kids needed to be shielded from movie watching for their own good. The music of “Seeta Aur Geeta”(1972) was so good that I was dying to watch this movie. My desperate prayers worked and I found myself being taken to the movie hall that was screening this movie. That movie hall was a newly built movie hall (called Sandhya Cinema) and “Seeta Aur Geeta” (1972) in fact was the very first movie that was screened in this hall.

Three Hindi films of the 50s which had created lots of hype during their pre-released days were ‘Aan’ (1952), ‘Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje’ (1955) and ‘Navrang’ (1959). They were all made in Technicolor. With nearly all the films made during that time and earlier in black and white, there was curiosity among film buffs to watch these Technicolor films. While none of these films had good story lines, they all ran in the theaters for a long time. I remember ‘Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje’ (1955) had completed 100 weeks of run in Metro theater and ‘Navrang’ (1959) ran for over 50 weeks in Liberty theater of Mumbai.

The second song in the series ” VINTAGE KISHORE” is from a less known film Andolan-1951. It is likely that most people have not even heard the name of this film.

Pannalal Ghosh was the Music Director and the songs were written by Indeevar, Niyaz Hyder and Bankim Chandra chatterjee.
