“Zewaraat” (1949) is an obscure movie by now. From the little information that I could ferret out about this movie, this movie had Meena (Shorey ?), Masood (?), Yaaqub etc in it.

Bollywood movies of the past may have been differentiated on the basis of their budget into A grade, B grade, C grade etc, but there was no such differentiation in the quality of music in all these movies. Even C grade movies used to have outstanding music. But the music of C grade movies suffered mostly because of lack of exposure since records of these songs were hardly made. And record players were in any case unaffordable for most music lovers.

This is one song that must be as rare a song as they come. Listen to this song and try to judge the people involved in the creation of the song. It is easy to notice that the song is picturised on Dhumal and Tuntun who emerge out of the church after getting married and then immediately burst into this comic song. The song is sung by Rafi and Geeta Dutt.

“Aaya Saawan Jhoom Ke” (1969) is one movie that is largely remembered for its songs more than for anything else. At least that is true for me. The fact that I have never watched the movie certainly helps. From the picturisation of songs in this movie, I get the impression that Dharmendra does most of his singing in gatherings where he sings songs addressed to Asha Parekh.
