Ever since I heard the songs from film ‘Badi Maa'(1945) about four decades ago, I have been a fan of music director Datta Korgaonkar (known as K Datta). It is stated that when his songs from ‘Badi Maa’ were heard by some of his contemporary music directors, they were so impressed by his compositions, especially ‘diya jalaaker aap bujhaaye’ that music directors like Shyam Sundar, Anil Biswas, Ghulam Haider and Rafiq Ghazanvi personally visited his house and congratulated him. During the last few days, I have been going through his songs on the internet and I found his compositions and orchestration of songs somewhat different from what was prevalent during his time. K Datta was active in the film industry between 1943-1956 during which time he composed music only for a dozen films but he churned out mostly good songs though they may not have become very popular among the masses. His last film as a music director was ‘Ajnabi’ (1966).

What a delightful song this is ! I have never heard this song before today. And luckily the picturization is as appealing as the audio. This is a stage song from film Ek Nazar, written by Rajendra Krishan and composed by S. D. Burman, master of duets in my humble opinion. The fact of this being a Lata Mangeshkar and Mohammed Rafi duet is added bonus as i was looking for a duet by these two to discuss.

Talking about romantic pairing in Hindi films, Nanda – Shashi Kapoor pairing is probably the most attractive pair in the 60s. It is interesting to note their career graphs. Both of them started off in the films as child artists. Nanda’s father, Master Vinayak, passed away when she was just 8 years old. She was obliged to start working in films as a child artist, Baby Nanda, due to financial difficulties at home. On the other hand, as a child, Shashi was part of the already famous Kapoor clan, and the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor. And with all his family seniors in the cine business, it was only natural that followed their footsteps. He too appeared in many films as a child artist.
