In my teen and pre teen days, I was a cricket enthusiast. In addition to doing the usual thing line playing it and listening to its radio commentary, I was also into maintaining cricket records. Personal computers were obviously not invented them, and I kept my records manually on registers. I had several thick registers with me, and the scores of all test matches played til them was available with me, and I had collected all these records by painstakingly culling records from many publications. When a new test match began (that was the only form of international cricket back then), I already knew what record was likely to get made in that match. Those were the days when centuries, especially centuries by Indian cricketers were rare. Also, hitting sixes was a rare phenomenon. One Indian player called Salim Durrani had hit a six sometime in 1972 and based on that one six, he was touted in Indian magazines as Mr Sixer.
These days, I no longer maintain cricket records. We already have such records being maintained by professional cricket sites. But I find that these days I am maintaining similar records for Hindi movie songs that I am discussing. And the suggestion for maintaining these song statistics came from Raja, who also grew up with similar passion for cricket and Hindi movies in a neighbouring state in the eastern parts of the country those days.

I am aware of a movie called “Shamaa”(1961) that had music by Ghulam Mohammad. Now it turns out that there is another movie by the same name that was released in 1946 and it had music by Ghulam Haider. I other words, both these movies with similar names have music by similarly named music directors as well.

It is a very old song, exactly 62 years old to be precise. The Bollywood movie music then was in the process of evolving and maturing, and was still in a state of transition.

This song is a landmark song from a landmark movie. “Rattan” (1944) was the first movie that drew upon folk music for its songs. And this particular song “ankhiyan mila ke” could well be described as the first such song sung by a female singer.
