When I saw the caption of this song, “tere pyaar mein dildaar” I thought I recognised this song. When I started to play it, it turned out to be a Lata Mangeshkar song, while I thought it might be a Shamshad Begum sing a composition by O. P. Nayyar from 50’s. It has a very old worldy feel to it. Actually it is from the Film “Mere Mehboob” and it is composed by Naushad. It goes without saying that it is written by Shakeel Badayuni. This is a kind of song, which keeps going on and on in the head long after you have heard it. I heard this song yesterday, after a very long time. It has three long stanzas in rapid speed. I made doubly sure that it was not posted. This should one of the last 2 songs from the film posted here, if earthmusic.net information is correct.

This song is from the epic called “Mughal-e-Azam”. Seeing this film on the big screen is an experience to behold, which our children are having no opportunity to do. I have seen it at ‘Maratha Mandir’ in Bombay Central, where this film premiered in 1960. No, I was not there for the premier but saw it when it was showing, must be in the mid 80’s. All of us are familiar with the music of this film. As far as I can see only two songs from this film remain to be discussed, one is “bekas pe karam keejiye sarkaar-e-madina” and the other is “prem jogan banke”. The later is sung by Bade Gulam Ali Khan, reputedly the only time he was persuaded to sing a film song. My personal favourite song in the film is “aye ishq yeh sab duniya waale, bekaar ki baaten karte hain” which is already posted. Mean while, Deshmukh Sir is doing a painstaking job of listing films with only one or two songs remaining to be posted. I expect he will reach ‘M’ too soon.

I had never heard of the film SANYASI (1945) until a few months back. The film was produced under the banner of Kardar Productions and directed by A R Kardar. The cast included Shamim Bano, Amar, Shyam Kumar, Ghulam Mohammed. I checked the available songs on internet and found to my surprise that there were 10 songs in this film out of which 7 songs were sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali (both solo and duets). These songs were written by Pandit Madhur and set to music by Naushad. Other than these, I am not able to get other details about this film such as genre and box office success or otherwise of the film.

“Ganga Jamuna” (1961) is a movie that I tend to cinfuse with “Ram Aur Shyam”(1967) all the time. Both movies had Dilip Kumar in them, and both movies had the same musical team, and that is the reason for my confusion.
