After, a Kishor Kumar week, I will be posting songs  composed  by
Sachin  Deb  Barman  till 30th of the month (till his anniversary
31st October) beginning from today.

        Song: Sainya Dil Me Aana Re, Aake Phir  Na  Jaana  Re~~~,
Tam Tamaatam Tam
                Raja Ban Ke Aana Re, Mohe Leke  Jana  Re~~~,  Tam
Tamaatam Tam

        Film:   Bahaar (1952)
        Music:  Sachin Deb Barman
        Lyrics: Rajendrakrishna
        Singer: Shamshad Begam
        *ing:   Karan Diwan, Vyjantimala

There are many songs in the film, which are remembered  for  some
unusual words used in them. These words don't have any particular
meaning associated with them. They add to the  melody.  I  guess,
many  a  times  they would have found a place, merely for filling
the void. Whatever may be the case, such songs have  historically
been  hit.  Not  only  they  became hit, people remember them for
those words. Today's song falls in that category. Usually, I have
a  difficult  time recalling this song, but for the 'Tam Tamaatam
Tam'! One name that comes to forefront in  this  respect  is,  of
Sachin-da.  He  has  used this "tilasmi-words" effect quite well.
Remember that Baazi song 'Dekh  Ke  Akeli  Mohe',  where  he  has
"Tip-Tip  Tip-Tip  Tip'  doing  the  trick. Similarly he produced
stunning number "Aa Gupchup-Gupchup Pyaar Karen' using  the  same
style.  I  guess  few Jaal songs too, has such words in them, and
they all have come up rather very nicely.

Shamshad Begam was still on top around this time. We have no Lata
songs in the film. But we do have other top female singer of that
time, sharing the credits:  Geeta  Roy.  Both  female  leads  are
really  enjoying  their  respective  songs.   Shamshad  with  her
natural higher pitch, she produces best effect  on  such  folksy-
romantic-frolicking   songs.   Sachin-da  uses  Sarangi  as  lead
instrument.

Geeta comes with a very good song, that only she can  do  justice
to:

        Bhagawaan Do Ghadi Zara Insaan Ban Ke Dekh
                Kuchh  Der  Dharati  Par  Mehmaan  Ban  Ke  Dekh,
Mehmaan Ban Ke Dekh

And finally we have that tandem song:

        Kusoor Aap Ka, Huzoor Aap Ka
                Mera Naam Lijye, Na Mere Baap Ka

How can you ever miss Kishor Kumar for such type  of  song,  when
Sachin Dev Barman is a composer ? Other version is sung, and sung
equally well, by Shamshad Begam.
