Just browsing on the blog, through the list of songs by film, I come across the film ‘Sangam’ from 1964. As per records, the film has eight songs, and seven are already posted here on the blog. The last entry for this iconic film and its songs is from August last year. As I paused on this list, I immediately realized what is missing. The missing song is the famous multi-lingual creation in the voice of Vivian Lobo. And friends, that was the easy part. Getting down to decipher just the four lines of non-English verses, turned out to be a multi hour marathon exercise. Don’t know why, but I just got fixed on this today, and now, after having spent a better part of the night and day, I am thinking, I should have left it alone. Or maybe not. 🙂 🙂

Here is yet another song of the “how come this song was not discussed earlier” genre. This evergreen song from “Sangam” (1964) added a new term to the Hindi lexicon, viz “Buddha Mil Gaya” to indicate mismatched pairings where the boy is many years senior to the girl. Such pairings were not unusual till a few decades back. This phrase was used in the title of a 1971 movie as well. And if I remember correctly, one song (either this song or another song from “Buddha Mil Gaya” (1971)) found itself in troubles with Indian censors. I have forgotten which song it was and I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this matter.

I realised it recently that the songs of “Sangam” (1964), which was a musical extravaganza of its time, are under represented in the blog. So far only four songs from this movie have been discussed and several well known songs from the movie are still at large.

Here is a duet from “Sangam” picturised on Raj Kapoor and Vyjyanti Mala. The people involved in creating this song are the usual suspects, viz Shankar Jaikishan, Shailendra, Mukesh and Lata. This song is a party song, and this movie seemed to have quite a few party songs, I do not know why.

I know that a song sung by two singers ( typically one male and one female singer) is called a duet or “dogaana”, but what about a song sung by three singers ? Anyone has any idea ? Is it called a “tigaana” or a “triet” ?
