Binaca Geetmala - in 1952



Radio in those days
Friends, for this new blog, we have decided to talk about songs from Binaca Geetmala for a few inaugural posts. Let us start from the very first program of Binaca Geetmala, which was broadcast for the first time on 3rd December, 1952.  There were 5 programs during the 5 Wednesdays and the final program was broadcast on 31st December, 1952

Binaca Geetmala Program, was sponsored by Ciba Geigy Ltd., the makers of toothpaste and toothbrush in India in addition to other products.  The program was a novelty - never before was such a sponsored program broadcast. The generation of today may not be able to gauge the impact this had on the minds of people then, but suffice to say that there are generations and generations of people in India who hold it dearly to their heart.

Lyrics of one of best song by Lata Mangeshkar & Madan Mohan : Aap Ki Nazro Ne Samjha, Pyar Ke Kabil Mujhe

Aapki Nazro Ne Samjha, Pyar Ke Kabil Mujhe (आपकी नज़रों ने समझा, प्यार के काबिल मुझे)


This is going to be the first post on this blog about lyrics of hindi film songs. As I am just starting out, it will be a quick post. I have chosen the song "Aapki Nazro Ne Samjha, Pyar Ke Kabil Mujhe"  (आपकी नज़रों ने समझा, प्यार के काबिल मुझे) to start this blog for no particular reason except it's one of my most favorite song. Hope everyone will enjoy it as much as I do.

This song is from 1962 movie "Anpadh" starring Dharmendra, Mala Sinha in lead role. The music of the film was composed by Madan Mohan and all the songs were penned by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan. This song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar and is considered to be the best song which Lata Mangeshkar sung for Madan Mohan. This song appeared at 4th place in Binaca Geetmala Anuual Program for the year 1962.
