I knew mother india got to the oscars and is one of the 50 most loved movies ever.<BR/>Also it had to be naushad, though i had no idea of symphony, but i knew he was not only extremely accomplished, but also scored the bgms for most of the above giants who were way into grandeur and "dhamakedaar" openings/distribution to their films. So if it got to BBC, it must have been such a combo.<BR/>Regarding Aan, it was a surprise to me, but not too much, because i saw some of it. It was during Dilip Kumar's younger, swashbuckling days, and the heroine was the woman Mehboob is said to have called the find of the century, Nadira, whose looks mimicked the GReta Garbos and Barbara Stanwycks of Hollywood. It was also, as aakarsh pointed out, India's first totally technicolor movie. Remember the song on the horse-buggy - "Maan meraa ehsaan arey nadaan ke maine tujh se kiyaa hai pyaar.." by Rafi.<BR/>Thanks Aakarsh, that brought back some memories!

If BBC must have aired it (without violating copyrights) it must be the later generation composers. So which one? A fair guess is ARR. Or one of the maverick composers like L Subbi. Tell me if my logic is right and I will try to google search.Random Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513799113439189525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13547794.post-1128799134826013782005-10-09T00:48:00.000+05:302005-10-09T00:48:00.000+05:30No chandu.btw, Mother India was indeed made in 195...No chandu.<BR/>btw, Mother India was indeed made in 1956.Aakarshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943886586244410709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13547794.post-1128794183196421372005-10-08T23:26:00.000+05:302005-10-08T23:26:00.000+05:30I would guess Mehboob's "Mother India" (not sure i...I would guess Mehboob's "Mother India" (not sure if it was post independence - i think it was) composed by the inimitable Naushad, but no idea what the specialty of this track was :(Sketchy Selfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317624910267305828noreply@blogger.com
