By now I have posted more than a thousand songs from the golden era of Bollywood music. It can be easily noticed that lyrics played a very important roles in the success of these songs. In 1980s and later, lyrics lost its importance in the minds of the music directors and from that time onwards, songs lost their soul and their longevity. However great the singing and music may be, unless the singer and music director has a good song to work with, the song cannot hope to become popular.

How many people are aware of a movie called “Ek Nazar” ? People may not be aware of such a movie, but there were in fact not one but two movies of such a name. One was released in 1957 and it had a few nice Talat Mahmood songs under the music direction of Ravi. Then there was another movie of this name in 1972, and it too had a nice song, which is the song under discussion here.

I am a big fan of Ravi, the underestimated music director of the golden era of Bollywood movie music. He was an extremely prolific music director who began his career in 1950s and worked upto 1990. And he has left us countless great songs, many of them timeless classics. In fact, most iconic songs of Bollywood have been his creations.

I have posted one song from “Gambler”(1970) in the past. Somhow I keep confusing among the songs of “Gambler”, “Guide”, “Prem Pujari” etc. All these movies had Dev Anand and Waheeda Rahman in them, if I am not mistaken, and all these movies had music by S D Burman.
