‘Poonam Ki Raat’ is a film from almost 50 years ago. And the thought comes to mind that the period of time from which we remember the best loved music is now receding in history. Just the films and songs that used to be new and fresh in mind and in media, are now counted as half century old, and even older.

After discussing the sixth song of “Half Ticket” (1962), I thought that all the songs of this movie were covered. I did not receive the expected “Yippee” comment from Pradeep Raghunathan though which he makes every time such a thing happens. He informed me that one song from this movie was still missing.

1950s and 1960s were the decades when making the audience cry in movies was a tried and tested way of making movies. Making tearjerkers was the safe way to produce movies those days.

Whenever I am reminded of “Jaagte Raho”(1956), I am reminded of the wonderful drunkard song from this movie which is sung by Mukesh and picturised on Motilal. This song,Zindagi khwaab hai is picturised on a fully drunk Motilal swaying merrily in empty streets and going towards his home, with Raj Kapoor looking on.

AAWAAZ (1956) was a Mehboob Production film directed by Zia Sarhadi. I do not know the story of the film but when Mehboob and Zia Sarhadi come together for a film, one can expect that with their leftist ideologies, the film would depict the class conflict between rich and poor. The film had Rajendra Kumar and Nalini Jaywant in the lead roles with Usha Kiran, Zul Vellani, Nazir Hussain, Leela Chitnis, D K Sapru, Jagdeep, Anwar Hussain, etc in the supporting roles. With a story of class conflicts and Nazir Hussain and Leela Chitnis in the film, one can visualise that the film would have a lot of melodramatic contents.
