Filmfare Awards

The Filmfare Awards for playback singing first started in 1958. In 1956, the song 'Rasik Balma' from the film Chori Chori won the Best Song Filmfare Award. Lata refused to sing it live in protest of absence of a Playback Singer category. The category was finally introduced in 1958. Though, separate awards for male & female singers were introduced later on.

Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1958 to 1966. In 1969, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent...........

@sarju1959 - You are most welcome, my dear friend.

No doubt a beautiful song. More important is the video presentation . Sunil Dutt in traditional head-gear 'pugri'..so common in Rajasthan. Waheeda in traditional colourful kurta-lahnga-odhnee. Light ornaments, particularly the ornament on her forehead...only Rajasthani women wear. Camel..the 'ship' of desert.... Miles and miles of 'sand dunes'... Sunil Dutt partaking his 'packed-lunch' with a green chilli (1.30), use of kaajal in eyes, simple room decore,

All so colourful, SO REAL

THANKS
