Mohammed Rafi & SD Burman gems-solo [No.10] : film Bombai ka babu

Saathi na koi manzil, diya hai na koi mehfil

This gem is from the 1960 film "Bombai ka babu" and the song is picturised on Dev Anand and Suchitra Sen. The lyricist is Majrooh Sultanpuri.

The film was based on the bold theme of incest relationship in those times. Although not a box office success, the film's songs and music got critical acclaim and is heard with pleasure even to this day. This song has been sung with a heavy heart and truly reflects the sad and forlorn feelings of the character. Such was the mastery of Mohammed Rafi in bringing out the emotions with the song, one could actually visualise the scene even without watching. This quality of Rafi was exclusive and has not been found in any singer till date.

Here is the video. Watch it by clicking on the youtube link. Enjoy!
