Today’ song is from an early film of Talat Mehmood – Samapti-1949.
Talat has sung some memorable songs. He worked in 3 films in Calcutta and 9 films in Bombay as an actor. Today’s film is his 3rd and last film done in Calcutta. His first film as an actor was Raj laxmi-1945, the second was Tum aur Hum-1947. For this film, he had taken a new name – Tapan Kumar. The reason, presumably, was that there was another actor with a similar name – Talaaq Mehmood, working in this film. To avoid any confusion, he probably took this name. During the period 1947 to 1949, he sang many Bangla NFS in the name of Tapan Kumar.
Today’s song was composed by Music Director Timir Baran Bhattacharya. It was directed by Amar Mullick and the star cast was Bharati Devi, Heeralal, Sunder, Talat mehmood and others. I have neither seen this film nor know of its story. The film had 8 songs. 2 Solos and 2 Duets of Talat and Puprabha Sarkar and 2 solos of Suprabha are mentioned in HFGK. 2 remaining songs do not show a singer’s name. The HFGK also mentioned the title of this film as Sampatti instead of Samapti. This was , however, corrected in subsequent editions.

Today, 24th February is the birth anniversary of Talat Mehmood (born 1924).
There are approximately 650 film songs identified, as being sung by him. It is a known fact that during the decade of 1950s, Talat Sb spent more of his energies in trying to establish himself as an actor-singer. He had the presence and the looks of a leading hero, plus a voice that at one time had stolen the hearts of film goers and listeners. But the on-screen combination somehow did never strike a rapport with the audience, getting only a lukewarm reception at the box office. Rising from the mid 1940s along with the other mainstream singers, he allowed his ratings as a playback singer to falter, in his effort to be a singing start. Now, it is just a matter of speculation how the history of Hindi films and Hindi film music could have been different, had some different choices had been made by Talat Sb.

THE VELVET MAGIC-TALAT DUETS
——————————
We are starting a New series-on Talat Mehmood’s film songs-especially the Duets. Talat songs are my favourites and I am in the company of a large number of music lovers on this issue. His soulful, sad and melodious songs and everlasting duets are heard all over the world even today. Some of his duets with Lata, Asha, Shamshad and Geeta are very famous, but not many people are aware that Talat sang a wide variety of duets with many singers. From Suprova Sarkar in Calcutta to Hemlata in Bombay,Talat’s range of singers included Mubarak Begum, Sudha Malhotra, Madhubala Jhaveri, Surinder Kaur, Suman Kalyanpur, Sulochana Kadam, Ameerbai Karnataki, Rajkumari etc among the females and Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Rafi, Balbir etc among the male singers.
