I thought that I had posted songs from “Sharada” in the past. It turns out that I was confusing “Sharada” with “Sadhana”. Yes, those days we had movies with names like “Sharada”, “Sadhana”, “Kalpana” etc which were also the names of some well known actresses. Incidentally, the actress with the same name was nowhere to be found in these movies.

“Sheikh Chilli” (1956) was what was then regarded as a B grade movie. But the movie appears quite A grade in its overall quality.

In fact, for long I was thinking of posting this song as one of my century scoring songs ( yes, I am approaching another century), but then I decided that there are far too many great songs lying there and if I keep them in abeyance waiting for them to be posted as century making songs then I may have to wait far too long.

“Panchaayat” (1958) is not a movie that will ring too many bells. This was a movie with Raj Kumar and Shyama in lead roles. If this movie deserves to be remembered, then it would be for its music. This movie had music by Iqbal Qureshi. Shakeel Numani was the lyricist.

Hemant Kumar was a singer whose voice was tailormade for singing “chaayaageet” songs. And he had been singing such songs from the time when even this term “Chaayaageet” was not coined because the radio channel that broadcasted this programme was non existent those days.
