(Dev) Afsar (1950)

This movie was a milestone in Hindi cinema for sveral reasons. Dev founded Navketan and this was the first movie he produced under that banner. The Navketan banner went on to make many more movies in the years to come. This was the movie for which Sachinda gave music for. This association of Sachinda with Navketan, and especially with Dev, became a boon for music lovers. Some of the most memorable music ever composed by Burmanda was for this banner. Over one-third of movies he composed music for starred Dev.

This movie was directed by Chetan Anand, elder brother of Dev. Chetan made the same movie years later as "Saheb Bahadur" in 1977. But the 1977 movie didn't have Suraiya. Also, Dev was 27 years older. The off screen romance that pervaded the private lives of Suraiya and Dev permeated through Afsar that made it so endearing.

A word about Burmanda's music for this movie. With Suraiya's beautiful voice the songs from this album are sprinkled with sweetness of melody all over. And melody was Burmanda's trademark. Especially Suraiya's song "Mann Mor" is composed with a combination of flute and sitar is just unforgettable that makes Narendra Sharma's rich lyrics come alive.

The song "Pardesi Re" apparently was based on Burmanda's own Bengali composition "Padmar Dheu Re". The emphasis of "Re" in each antara of this song casts a melodic spell. Also, I have read some place that the inspiration for the song "Naina Diwaane" came from Rabindranath Tagore's composition. The beats of tabla with sounds of piano and music of flute that accompany Suraiya's voice is an unforgettable experience that leaves you longing for more.

I am missing two songs by Manmohan Krishna. The details are shown in red italics in the table below. If you can, please share these with rest of us.

Now let us treat ourselves for the delectably delicious songs from this album ...

Hemji,

I am not in a position to fulfill your request.

Most of my CDs have been converted to MP3 albums several years ago and all are stowed away. It will be nearly a monumental and definitely a daunting task to go back to sift through those albums at this time. Sorry, can't help.

Cheers,

(Dev) C.I.D. (1956)

Guru Dutt was intending to make a comedy and heard about the Telugu hit “Missamma (1955)” (in Tamil called “Missiamma”). He, along with his close friend writer Abrar Alvi (who later directed “Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam” in 1962) decided to take a trip to Hyderabad to see the movie. When they arrived in Hyderabad, they were invited to the silver jubilee celebrations of the Telugu hit “Rojulu Maarayi”, also released in 1955. There he was introduced to Waheeda Rehman who appeared briefly in the movie for a dance number. Impressed with her looks and her knowledge of Urdu, Guru invited her to come to Bombay to act in Hindi films. Waheeda refused.

Guru and Alvi Saab saw “Missamma”. Guru was not that impressed with the film and returned back to Bombay. He was seriously preparing to make the movie “Pyaasa”. In the meantime he decided to make “C.I.D.” and asked his friend and assistant director to several of his films, Raj Khosla, to direct the movie. Raj, a close friend of Dev Anand, wanted to be a playback singer. Dev introduced him to Guru to give Raj a job with him until he tests out as a singer. Guru, who was also a close friend of Dev, took Raj under his wings. (Incidentally, “Missamma” was later made in Hindi as “Miss Mary” in 1957 by the AVM Studios and became a hit.)

Raj was looking for a second girl for “C.I.D.” and approached Guru for suggestions. Guru remembered Waheeda and contacted her to come over to Mumbai to sign a multiple movie contract with him. Waheeda finally yielded to the offer.

“C.I.D.” was the second directorial venture for Raj. His earlier film “Milap”, also made with Dev in the lead, released in 1955 was a flop. “C.I.D.” with its sensational music became a super hit. Waheeda, who made her debut with this film, was stunning. Both Waheeda and Raj never looked back in a long and illustrious career, even though Khosla fell on bad times in the end.

One of the major contributors to the success of the movie was its fantastic music composed by O.P. Nayyar. There were only six songs in the film, but they were also chartbusters. Even today every song is dearly remembered. The movie has that perennial tribute to Mumbai, the beautiful duet by Geetaji and Rafi Saab, "Yeh Bombai Meri Jaan". It has that often quoted song by Shamshad Begum, "Kahin Pe Nigaahen". It also has that seductively intoxicating song by Geetaji, "Jaata Kahaan Hai". It also has one of those very complicatedly composed but such immensely pleasing song, "Leke Pehle Pehle Pyaar". O.P. in this movie was at his top of the form and simply at his spectacular best.

I am uploading these songs in two back-to-back posts. The first post contains all songs from the film from an original soundtrack album. The second post has some music clips ripped from a DVD. Unfortunately, the sound quality of these clips not that great. The DVD used had poor audio quality. Please remember this caution if you decide to download these clips.

Here is a description of the songs in the first post and the songs themselves…

Musical Clips from "C.I.D. (1956)"...

I am including in this post several musical clips from this film. These were ripped from a DVD. Unfortunately the audio quality from the DVD was poor and it reflects on the quality of these clips. They are okay but not really that great. With that caution, here are these clips...
