Here is a rare song from an obscure movie called “Darogaji” (1949). This song is from an entirely different era over six decades ago. Those were the days when Geeta Dutt was still Geeta Roy, and Nargis had yet to become a very big name actress.

Many people may have noticed that the picturised versions of many songs are often different from their audio versions. One reason could be that the picturised version is often curtailed while editing the movie. But the main reason for the difference between picturised version and audio version is more technical. In olden days, it was technically not possible to record a song once and use it for audio as well as picturised versions. So those days the same song used to be recorded twice- once for the picturisation and once for the audio recording. So one could find some slight, and sometimes, more than slight differences in the two versions of the same song.
