I had once mentioned that the version of song seen in the movie and heard in the records was often different because they were recorded on two separate occassions. Imagine a great song being recorded not once but twice ! Once for the movie sound track, and once for the record company.

I became aware of this song only recently when I read a review of “Rustam Sohrab” (1963) at MemsaabStory . The Prince of Turannak hatches a plot to Kidnap the Shah of Iran at the behest of the king of Mazandaraan. The prince goes to Shah’s court disguised as a poet and sings praises of Mazandaraan. The song suitably impresses the Shah and he, throwing cautions to the winds , accompanies the disguised prince to Mazandaraan. Here he is suitably underwhelmed to find that the promised land was nothing but desert. To add insult to injury, he is kidnapped too.

“Mem Sahib”(1956) was a delightful movie that is guaranteed to warm the cockles of the listeners and watchers of this movie. This lovely movie had Kishore Kumar, Meena Kumari ( in a bubbly role), and Shammi Kapoor.

This is a rare song, and a fabulous song. 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.

Many Madan Mohan movies are not even known, because these movies were box office disasters. These movies are very difficult to find. “Chhote Babu” (1957) is one such movie.
