These are songs that may not have come to the notice of many music lovers because these songs, along with the movie, were forgotten with time. Now adays, thanks to technology and also music enthusiasts, these songs are coming to the fore once again, often for the first time after their original exposure, which may have been some half a century ago.

In my younger days, the name of the film FUNTOOSH (1956) sounded to me a bit bizarre. I had also heard people using this Hinglish lingo as adjectives in different context. I had no occasion to watch this movie but judging (or misjudging) from the name of the film, I thought that it was a comedy movie and the song ‘ye meri topi palat ke aah’ was a pointer to that. It was only later when I heard ‘dukhi man mere’ I felt that the film was of a different genre.

Music director N Dutta started his career as an independent composer in 1955. That year, two films were released which have music created by him. The films are ‘Marine Drive’ and ‘Milaap’. The musical scores are very impressive in both these films, and that set the pace for N Dutta’s career in subsequent years. Three songs each from both these films are already represented on this blog. But as I reviewed the remaining songs from this film, there is still a few gems contained in these movies that need to be discussed here. In this post, I present the fourth song from ‘Milaap’, that is listed as the debut film for N Dutta.
