At the historical concert on the occasion of Noorjehan’s return to Bombay after 35 years, in 1982, Saajan ki galiyan chood chale was Lata Mangeshkar’s reply to her Didi’s Aawaaz de kahan hain. It was difficult to say which song excelled the other. No list of the best songs of Lata Mangeshkar is complete without Saajan ki galiyan chhod chale (Bazaar, 1949) and Baharein phir bhi ayengi magar hum tum juda honge (Lahore,1949), both composed by Shyam Sundar. These songs were integral to creating Lata Mangeshkar Tsunami, along with the songs from Barsaat (Shankar-Jaikishan), Andaaz, Dulari (Naushad), Patanga (C Ramchandra), Ek Thi Ladki (Vinod), Laadli (Anil Biswas), Badi Bahan (Husnlal-Bhagatram) and Mahal (Khemchand Prakash), in 1949.
