Even after filing a complaint, our association was least interested in doing anything about it.” Even a few words that were originally written by Anjaan were changed here and there and the song chandan sa badan chanchal chitvan had been readied. Then suddenly one day I came to know that the same tune had been used in the film Saraswati Chandra (1965). The song had been picturized as well and just like that, the film was stopped midway. In those days I had recorded a song c handan sa badan chehra ghulaab in Mukesh’s voice for producer Vinod Desai’s film Naag Nandini. One by one I had to sell off my wife’s jewelry and later on my home to sustain my children’s education and household expenses. As a result, I lost the films that were in my hand. On hearing my name people refused to give me bookings for recording rooms. Once Sardar Malik got a little comfortable during our conversation, he did say, without taking any names that, “After Saranga’s success, my good time had just started that I was dragged in a fight that was between two well-established people of the time and that too for no fault of mine. And just as suddenly, his career was crushed between the egos of two bigwigs of the industry. Whereas his songs like dekh li aye ishq teri meharbaani ( Laila Majnu), aye ghame dil kya karoon ( Thokar), chanda se pyare rajdulaare ( Aulaad), mai ghareebon ka dil hoon ( Aab-e-Hayat), kisi se aankh ladi ( Maa ke Ansoo) and bahaaron se poochho ( Mera Ghar Mere Bachche) were complete hits, it were the songs of the movie Saranga which had become so popular that his career instantly took off towards newer heights. In a career spanning 30 years, along with films Renuka (1947) and Raaz (1949), Sardar Malik has given music to 24 Hindi films viz., Stage (1951, co-composer – Husnlal Bhagatram), Laila Majnu (1953, co-composer – Ghulam Mohammad), Thokar (1953), Aulaad (1954), Chor Bazar (1954), Aab-e-Hayat (1955), Chamak Chandni (1957), Taxi-555 (1958), Maa Ke Ansoo (1959), Mera Ghar Mere Bachche (1960), Saranga (1960), Superman (1960), Madan Manjari (1961), Pick Pocket (1962), Bachpan (1963), Naag Jyoti (1963), Naag Mohini (1963), Jantar Mantar (1964), Maharani Padmini (1964), Roop Sundari (1964), Panchratna (1965) and Gyaniji (1977) and one Panjabi movie Sat Shri Akal (1977, co-composer – Prem Nath).
