We have been discussing in this blog scores of songs from lesser known films which are gems but lost out soon after those films failed miserably at the box office. A few among those films even failed to get released. Surely, the producers and financiers of these films must have lost the money they invested. But in the event, the performances of other artists associated with such films went unnoticed. Music Director Vinod was one of such artists who despite the phenomenal success of the film ‘Ek Thhi Ladki’ (1949), could not sustain the success for long as most of his subsequent films did not fare well at the box office despite having melodious songs composed by him for those films. Those songs went out of circulation and faded as quickly as the respective films. Thanks to internet, we now have access to those gems to be shared with the lovers of old Hindi film songs.

The other day a song “na toofan se khelo na saahil se khelo” from the film (Udan Khatola-1955) was posted in the blog. It was 2-3 days later that I saw that song video and heard the song. I had heard it before and but dont remember seeing it before. Having seen that movie long back on Doordarshan. ‘O door ke musafir ham ko bhi saath le le re’ and ‘ dil ka salaam le jaa ulfat ka jaam lejaa’ are the songs which I recognise as from this film. Rest few songs I know but could not associate from this film.

Here is this song from “Deedaar” (1951). It is sung by Lata and it is picturised on a lady looking extremely happy and besides herself with joy. I had great difficulty in identifying her and I actually rubbed my eyes in disbelief on realising that the lady in question was none other than Nimmi ! I was told that the only occasion when Nimmi was seen breaking into a faint smile was in a 1960s movie and that too towards the fag end of her career. but this song alters all that. She actually is seen smiling whole heartedly in this song.
