“Hare Kaanch Ki Choodiyaan” (1967) was produced and directed by Kishore Sahu. The movie was made by him as a launch vehicle for his daughter Naina Sahu. But unlike his predecessors like say Jaddanbai, V Shantaram and Shobhana Samarth, who managed to launch the careers of their daughters with their home productions, Kishore Sahu’s home production failed to ensure a successful film career for his daughter.

Today, December 24th, 2013 is 89th birth anniversary of Mohammed Rafi. This blog has a wealth of information on Mohammed Rafi. So I will be brief on his early life and confine myself to few points which have some relevance to the song I am presenting here. Suffice to say that Rafi was a great singer in making since childhood. At the age of 10, he started singing sufi songs immediately after hearing from a faqir who used to pass through the by-lanes of his residence every day. Rafi would follow him and sing with him. That was his beginning of his interest in singing. At the age of 13, he sang in front of a restless audience who had come to hear K L Saigal and enthralled them. At the age of 16, he did his first playback singing for a Punjabi film ‘Gul Bloach’ (1940). I am reminded of a colloquial Hindi proverb which I heard for the first time during my school days – ‘honhaar birwaan ko hot hai chikne paat’ (coming events cast their shadows before). This proverb proved right in the case of Mohammed Rafi became a legendary playback singer in Hindi films.
