        Song: Chale Jaana Nahin, (Ho) Chale Nahi Nain Milaake
                Haye Sainya Bedardi, Sainya Bedardi

        Film:   Badi Behan (1950)
        Music:  Pt. Husnalal Bhagatram
        Lyrics: Rajendrakrishna
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Suraiya, Geeta Bali, Rehmaan, Ulhas, Pran

A pre-1949 Lata Mangeshkar voice  has  always  created  waves  in
musical  field. Some didn't like it then and declared it as "not-
matured" and some recognised its true potential. Today almost all
loves  her songs of that time. I don't know how many times I have
heard this, (and) I never seem to get tired  of  it.  This  music
director  pair  has  produced  an amazing tune that knows no time
boundary and is still as pink as it was then! And they don't seem
to have satisfied with just one of that gener, that they gave not
one, not two, not three but four songs in our basket. How many of
us  have  really  forgotten following songs, with the progressing
time ?


-       Jo Dil Me Khushi Ban Kar Aaye (2)
                Wo Dard Basa Kar Chale Gaye, Hae Chale Gaye
        Jo Shamma Jalaane Aaye The (2)
                Wo  Shamma  Buza  Kar  Chale   Gae,   Hae   Chale
Gaye    (Lata)


-       Chup Chup Khade Ho Zuroor Koi Baat Hai (2)
                Pehali   Mulakaat   Hai   Ye,   Pehali    Mulakat
Hai      (Lata, Premlata)


-       Woh Paas Rahen Ya Door Rahen
                Nazaron Me Samaaye Rehate Hain
        Itanaa To Bata De Koi Muze
                Kya       Pyaar       Isi        Ko        Kehate
Hain                    (Suraiya)


Was the repetition of antaraa a trick here ? I don't know. But it
really  worked.   The  musical  pieces  are very sweet, adding to
melody of these songs. And when I think of the instruments  used;
just two come out from memory: Sarangi and Tabla!

And finally while these sisters are busy celebrating their  love,
we have had Mohammad Rafi bringing us some 'Vishhaad Ras'.

        Muhobbat Ke Dhoke Me Koi Na Aaye, Koi Na Aaye
                Ye Ik Din Hansaae To  Sau  Din  Rulaye,  Sau  Din
Rulaye

A good song. One can hear him 'cry'; (but) this time for  a  good
end-result.
