Roshan – a name that spells a purist, a name that is acknowledged as a creator of master melodies. The career of an artist in the film industry is measured by the films one is associated with. In a short career of 19 years, this giant amongst music directors accomplished 56 films. The filmography is as impressive as can be – Baawre Nain (1950), Humlog and Malhaar (1951), Anhonee, Naubahaaar and Malhaar in 1952, Maalkin, Aagosh and Maashooqa in 1953, Chandni Chowk and Jashan in 1955, Agra Road and Coffee House in 1957, Aji Bas Shukriya in 1958, CID Girl and Heera Moti in 1959, and then on to sixties with Barsaat Ki Raat, Baabar, Aarti, Surat Aur Seerat, Wallaah Kya Baat Hai, Dil Hi To Hai, Taj Mahal, Chitralekha, Bheegi Raat, Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal, Devar, Mamta, Bahu Begum and Anokhi Raat. In this sampler list, each film represents a treasure of melodies that would be the envy of other music directors. With this post, we are celebrating the 200th song of this illustrious melody maker to be represented on this blog.

“Baawre Nain” (1950) was the film that made the industry and the masses take notice of this new music director named Roshan. Roshan had made a debut with the film ‘Neki Aur Badi’ (1949), produced and directed by Kidar Sharma. With the kind of year that 1949 was – an absolute parade of films with fabulous music, not a surprise that a novice music director’s debut venture went by unacknowledged. ‘Neki Aur Badi’ settled into obscurity both as a film and also for the music. When Kidar Sharma planned his next venture, ‘Baawre Nain’, he restated his confidence in Roshan, by once again engaging him to create the music for it. And Roshan responded likewise, creating such wonderful tunes for this film, this after more than sixty years, this film is remembered now, simply on the basis of its music and songs.

“WOW” – the first reaction from my mind when I heard this song again after a very long time today. What a pleasant, delightful creation of joyous abandon this song is. One of those apparently never ending stream of gems that keep popping up from the most unexpected corners of this treasure house that we call the Hindi film music. Wow, what a song this is – a song that has stayed obscure. . . rather I would say, it has suffered obscurity for reasons that may never be completely understood. For why else would such wonderful creations of such bubbling music stay away from limelight and away from the listening pleasure of music lovers. I am sure you will believe my words when you hear it. And its obscurity is underscored by the fact that I was not able to locate it online, so far as I could search, and so I am posting this rare gem for my listener friends.
