“Ham Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke” (1960) was a movie which was never released, but we in this blog assume this movie to be a creation of 1960. It seems logical seeing that the title of the movie was obviously inspired from the song “Ham Hain raahi Pyaar ke hamse kuchh na boliye” from the movie ‘Nau Do Gyaarah” (1957).

I find it interesting to compare the filmy careers of G M Durrani and Surendra Nath. Both of them were tall and handsome and amateur singers. While G M Durrani virtually ran away from his home town Peshawar for Bombay (Mumbai) to pursue a filmy career, Surendra came to Bombay after completing his education (B.A., LLB) to become a lawyer. But a chance meeting with Mehboob Khan in 1936 changed his career path and he became a singer-actor in his first film ‘Deccan Queen’ (1936). Because of his singing style, he was seen as a clone of K L Saigal. In fact, he was called ‘Bombay Saigal’ after his parody song birhaa ki aag lagi more man mein based on K L Saigal’s baalam aaye baso more man mein. G M Durrani also started his stint with the film industry around the same time (1935-36) as an actor-singer in ‘Saaed-e-Hawas’. After acting in a couple of films, he decided to concentrate on playback singing with his distinct voice which was not influenced by K L Saigal.
