Sajjad Hussain was a music director who was not very diplomatic when it came to dealing with people. And he was very demanding of his singers too. He would create songs that would require his singers to give their best, and even then he would not be fully satisfied.

“Sazaa”(1951) has a few very nice songs that I was aware of and whicch I have already posted. I stumbled upon another song from this movie about which I was just not aware. The song as well as the picturisation just bowled me over as soon as I got an opportunity to watch this song.

There are songs with similar opening lines in “Ziddi” (1948) and in “Private Secretary” (1962). Both these songs are sung by Lata and both are superb songs.

We are all used to Shammi Kapoor singing jovial songs in Rafi’s voice in the outdoors, with seriousness nowhere in sight. And indeed almost all songs picturised on Shammi Kapoor in his movies are like that.

I have posted a song from “Bahaar” (1951) in the past. That song was the well known song “Sainyaa dil mein aana re” which was sung by Shamshad Begam and picturised on Vyjyanti Mala.

I am aware of two movies called “College Girl”. One was a movie of early 1960s featuring Shammi Kapoor. The other was a movie of late 1970s featuring Sachin. Though both these movies are forgotten, both of them had some nice songs in them.

In Bollywood movie songs, “dil” (heart” ) is an important subject of songs. In these songs, “dil” is desrcibed like it is a glassware. It gets broken, and also stolen- and that too at the hands of the beloved.

“Aaraam” (1951) was a movie where Dev Anand was the hero. But in this movie one can also see a very young Premnath.

I have posted a couple of songs from “Sazaa” (1951) already, but even I was not aware of this song.
