Geeta Dutt didn’t
justice to Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo,
the sizzling song from Howrah Bridge.
It was
picturised on Helen, who would go on to excel at, and be associated with,
tracks like these.
That O P Nayyar C(ho)omposed this song is well-known, but
few would know that it was Qamar Jalalabadi who penned the iconic line, “Singapore ka yauvan mera, Shanghai ki
angdaai” (My youth is from Singapore, my stretch is from Shanghai).
If it were to be
included on one of today’s soundtracks, it might not have escaped the Censor
Board’s scissors.
