Now it isn’t
uncommon to see child artistes in Bollywood movies aping adults, but in 1951,
when Deedar released, innocence was
writ large on their faces. At least, that’s the impression the listeners get
when they listen to the female version of Bachpan
Ke Din Bhula Na Dena.
It was
picturised on a pair of kids and rendered by a couple of grown-ups. But (Shams)had
Begum and Lata Mangeshkar not sung it, the song would lack the novelty that has
worked in its favour.
Penned by
Shakeel Badayuni, this Naushad gem certainly deserves many Alisten.
