So we reach the alphabet ‘H’ in this series of A to Z of Rafi songs. There are around 350 songs beginning with ‘H’ in the excel sheets listing Rafi sahab’s songs. At a guess, some 125 songs beginning with this alphabet are already posted in the blog. Among the remaining songs, I have zoomed in on this qawwali from ‘Ham kisi se kam nahin’. As far as this series is concerned, this will be the second song from this movie from 1977. Now, I have many reasons for choosing again a song from this film after ‘chaand mera dil chandni ho tum ‘.

No, they are all good feelings – just, that they are mixed.

Here is a song that I have wanted to send for quite some now. I will call it rare in the sense that the duet is with male singers —Kishore Kumar and S P Balasubramaniam. The two heroes are Rishi Kapoor and Kamalhaasan. The picturisation shows the heroes dancing in a local joint- call it a bar or an eating house or Tavern (I think that is the right word) run by Dimple and her dad Saeed Jaffrey.

The main male protagonist of the film Namkeen (1982) is the truck driver Gherulal (Sanjeev Kumar), who arrives in the life of an old woman (Waheeda Rehman) and her three daughters, and how his arrival changes their lives. He being a truck driver is always on the move, thus Gulzar’s musafir songs suit his character quite well.

Gulzar’s third film, as a director, Parichay (1972) has often been accused of being a copy of The Sound of Music (1963). I think that this is too much of an exaggeration, since the only common thing between the stories of the two films being a teacher, who wins over his unruly wards. That is a common theme enough in films and novels. The whole context and the treatment of the story is completely different. All said and done one can’t deny that the song saa re ke saa re has a similarity to doe a deer. The similarity is not in the tune but in the sense that both songs explain the seven notes of music.

Parichay (1972) was Gulzar’s third film as a director. With this film began a fruitful association with R D Burman, who would henceforth give music nearly to all his films, so long the latter lived. Achanak(1973), Mausam (1977), Meera (1979) and Lekin (1999) being the exceptions.

Here is the third Rafi solo beginning with the alphabet ‘C’. And what is better than C for ‘chaand’. The hit song from ‘ Ham kisi se kam nahin ‘ (1977) is composed by R D Burman and written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. The iconic song in this film Kya hua tera waada is already posted. One more song viz. Ye ladka haaye allah kaisa hai deewaana has also been posted. I have just revisited that page.
