This track became immor(La)tal too

If the soundtrack of Amar contained a Mohammed Rafi solo, how could Lata Mangeshkar be far behind?

Well, it was a female-oriented soundtrack, and hers was, in fact, the most prominent voice on it.

But as far as my collection was concerned, there was just song by her from the film in it.

It was titled Na Milta Gham Toh.

The next five words of the song went, “Barbaadi ke afsane kahan jaate”.

Therefore, Rafi’s song from Amar was sandwiched between two songs with Gham.

Jokes apart, Shakeel Badayuni wrote the song, which Naushad composed.

Rafi rendered this ‘immortal’ song

Amar – a film that released in 1954 – started Dilip Kumar as the titular protagonist.

The title of the film was also a word that meant immortal.

And that was precisely what Insaaf Ka Mandir Hai – the only song from the film in my collection – was.

It was the only male solo on the soundtrack of the film.

Was it a surprise that it was rendered by the one and only Mohammed Rafi?

The next five words of the song, which was written by Shakeel Badayuni, were Yeh Bhagwan Ka Ghar Hai.

Naushad Ali composed it.
