Joy Mukherjee and Saira Banu were one of the popular lead pairs of Hindi movies in 1960s. They acted together in ‘Door Ki Aawaz’ (1964), ‘Aao Pyaar Karen’ (1964), ‘Saaz Aur Aawaz’ (1966), ‘Ye Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai’ (1966) and ‘Shagird’ (1967). However, except for ‘Shagird’ (1967), none of their other 4 films could succeed at the box office. On the other hand, during the same period, Joy Mukherjee also paired with Asha Parekh in ‘Phir Wohi Dil Laaya Hoon’ (1963), ‘Ziddi’ (1964) and ‘Love in Tokyo’ (1966) all of which became box office hits. Most of these films were directly or indirectly associated with Mukherjee family and their production company Filmistan and later Filmalaya.

Recently, I listened to a song ‘is dil se teri yaad bhulaayi nahi jaati’ on YT sung by Mohammed Rafi. The song sounded familiar to me. My first impression was that this song was from an old film. But the uploader of the audio clip mentioned that it was a NFS composed by Hansraj Bahl. I never knew that Mohammed Rafi had sung any NFS under the baton of Hansraj Bahl. One of the regulars on YT whom I consider to be fairly reliable has mentioned that this song was written by Rajinder Krishan as he had heard his name being mentioned by the announcer on Radio Ceylon while playing this song. Since the composition as well as rendition of this song gave me an impression of a filmy song, I searched for other audio clips of the same song and got my hand on an audio clip where the uploader had claimed that the song was from the film ‘Kaneez’ (1949). The film had two music director – Ghulam Haider and Hansraj Bahl and the song was accredited by the uploader to Ghulam Haider-Hansraj Bahl.

Hindi film industry has given rise to several controversies, some of them are settled, some are forever a question mark and some controversies come up again and again with the slightest of provocation. The worst thing in a controversy is that even if statements of clarification are given by the concerned people involved with it, it is viewed with suspicion of a personal bias.

The autobiography of C Ramchandra( Majhya Jeevana chi Sargam-copyright by Yeshwant Ramchandra Chitalkar) is somewhat disappointing. Its major part is spent on describing various exploits of C Ramchnadra with different women. Normally one expectes that the writer would focus on his worldly achievements and creations, which gave him name and fame, but on this count this book is a failure. Not that it is totally bereft of such things, but considering his musical successes during the Golden Era, one feels deprived of more discussions on music related topics.
