With Kundan Lal Saigal towering above every other male singing star and singer of his era, it was inevitable that many a new-comer tried to sing in the Saigal idiom in the 1940s. Mukesh got noticed sounding like Saigal in Dil jalta hai to jalne de in Pehli Nazar (1945); the self-confessed Saigal devotee Kishore Kumar sang Marne ki duaayen kyun maangoon in Ziddi (1948) and Jagmag-jagmag karta nikla chaand poonam ka pyaara in Ziddi (1949) in the Saigal style; C. H. Atma always sounded like Saigal.

It is a bit of a surprise for me that one of the songs which I had heard from my mother in my childhood was intact in my memory even though I had no occasion to listen to on the radio or watch on the TV thereafter. This is more so when I was engulfed on those days by the popular songs of the early 50s. As I came to know much later, this song was the most popular one attaining the tag of the highest sales of gramophone records for HMV in 1943. The song was ‘beena madhur madhur kachhu bol’ from the film RAM RAJYA (1943). I was not aware of details of the song until I watched the video clip of the song for first time on YT few months back. Before that, I was under the impression that it was a non-filmy classical song.

I had resolved not to access any Hindi film related websites for few days to enable me to attend to some other pending works which included writing my travel blogs. But the urge to listen to old Hindi film songs was so strong that this resolution was broken in less than 24 hours. It appears that listening to and discovering new ‘gems’ from old Hindi film songs is an addiction for which there is no detoxification therapy. 😀
