this is Chitalkar (C.Ramachandra - the music director who sang this song coz talat was not available) and Lata.

What a Song !! Thanks for posting .. You've made my day!

Beautiful duet, of course, but also see how sweet and lovely Meena Kumari looks. She had superb talent to boot. That's what makes a true star, and she was one beyond any doubt.

sakha10 on August 12, 2008
This is C. Ramchandra---- [ Chitalkar]. Sachinv is right.

girish613 on September 26, 2008
Dilip Kumar is much taller than Meena Kumari

girish613 on September 26, 2008
Sachinv has given wrong information that Chitalkar sang with Lata because Talat was not available.

The truth is just as S. D. Burman always sang a song or two in all the movies he composed music for, Chitalkar also always sang a song or two for the movies he composed music for.

nickkohri on October 01, 2008
I'm afraid both the gentlemen are bit off the truth. The recording session was ready but Talat failed to show up. So with everybody waiting, Chitalkar recorded it himself in his most Talat-like style. After this Talat & CR fell-out with each other, and CR never gave another song to Talat - a sad ending to a long fruitful melodious partnership.

sachinv on October 01, 2008
Dont know the veracity of your information but in any case that still means Talat was not available.

nickkohri on October 01, 2008
CR was really upset because the recording date was set-up and agreed by Talat. This was not a situation where Talat was simply unavailable - it was a big emotional cracker. After this CR switched to Mahendra Kumar for all Talat-style vocal requirements (Stree, Navrang, Anchal etc).

In a powerful, attractive way though, right?

(Not like the awkward way Amitabh dwarfs Jaya and other co-actresses)

Such a sunny romantic song. Everything perfect.

MANIACSNIBM on October 10, 2009
Owsome..man the melody is soooo beautiful.wow... i don't know a single word of this song, but i can listen this son again and again..100...

@nickkohri
A sad ending indeed for two very good artists. But C. Ramchandra saab was known to be a very strict person and so never forgave Talat for one lapse on the latter's part

rkoza7 on April 04, 2010
@nickkohri
Not Mahendra Kumar but Mahendra Kapoor

nickkohri on April 04, 2010
@rkoza7 You know, all these artistes possess inflated egos. And it does not take much for them to get bent out of shape. Behind the scenes shenanigans make for a very interesting situations. Lata vs Rafi; OP Nayyar vs Lata; Manoj Kumar vs Talat; Asha vs Vani Jairam; and so on!!

@nickkohri
I entirely agree with you. But due to these egos we the music lovers are the ultimate losers. We miss the chance to listen to their fresh creations once they stop working together.

nickkohri on April 10, 2010
@rkoza7 Yes we lost! Just look at OP Nayyar & Sajjad Hussein. Both were music geniuses, but were always fighting with the movie producers - who actually paid their wages! Sajjad quit Hulchul after composing only 3 songs because Producer/Director K. Asif was "advising" him about song sequences! OP gave music for mostly C-grade movies. The big producers just did not want to work with these 2. Naushad spoke highly of Talat - but gave him songs in only 1 movie Babul!

kannensharma on May 08, 2010
The male singer is Chitalker. C> Ramchanra himself was a good singer.And he sang for Dilip in a quite a few movies in the 50s.

barsakus on May 29, 2010
@kannensharma Got a golden opportunity to sing duet with Lata :)

Murtuza271920 on November 14, 2010
The sense of security and joy being depicted by Meena Kumari in the company of her beloved, Dilip Kumar, in the song is marvellous. Everything is so beautiful, the song, the music, the lyrics, the voices and the ambience. At the same time how painful it is to accept that such a golden film era will never return.

Hassu2708 on November 21, 2010
Such compositions could never be produced again.

aman76472 on February 15, 2011

True. Everything nowadays is dominated by generic beats and repetitive lyrics due to the overwhelming demand of commercial music, especially in India. Unfortunate...to say the least. :/

Dilip kumar ir so handsome.

SK Pandey on December 01, 2012
A great duet of Lataji and Chitalkar. Stunning acting by Dilip saheb and
Meena Kumari. Thanks for sharing.

rbcm1000 on April 13, 2013

rbcm1000 on April 13, 2013
Wishful thinking :) No one can sing like this again !

Satyajeet Vaidya on November 02, 2013
Melodious c ram and God sent lata...c ram voice was las velvet as dearest
talat. Dilip meena pair was class... Tragedy king and tragedy queen

rbcm1000 on November 06, 2013
Thanks for a very nice comment .

Ranjan Penkar on February 17, 2014
Very nice to see Means Kumari smiling. Great song by Lata--C Ramchandra.

tintunbirha on December 05, 2014
We speak of the R.D.Burmans,A.R Rahmans and forget the masteors, C
Ramchandra, Anil Biswas, Vasant Desais etc. What a Pity.
