Magically, Ms Mangeshkar made ‘his(s)’tory

To state that the producers of 1954’s highest-grosser (Na)g(r)inned all the way to the bank would be an understatement, and a huge chunk of the credit for the film’s success went to its music, which was composed by Hemant Kumar, who bagged the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director in 1956.

Rajinder Krishan penned the track, “Jaadugar saiyan, chhodo mori baiyan, ho gayi aadhi raat, ab ghar jaane do” (O my beloved, who is a magician, let go of my hand. The clock has struck midnight; let me go home now.)

Lata’s rendition was M(ang)es(hkar)merising.
