Here’s a
question: Which is the best devotional song in a Hindi film? If you’re a true Hindi
film music aficionado, your (Malk)a(u)nswer would be Man Tadpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj from Baiju Bawra.
(Nau)S(h)adly,
it didn’t fetch its composer an award, but the (bha)janata’s patronage of the song – penned by Shakeel Badayuni – was
no less than a trophy.
It was rendered
by Mohammed Rafi, whose fans would be forgiven if they paraphrased the first
line to, “Kaan Tadpat Rafi Ki Awaaz Ko
Aaj Bhi” (The ears want to listen to Rafi’s voice even today).
