A female dancer singing and dancing in a club, paying particular attention to the table where the hero is seated was a standard fare in Bollywood movies of 1950s. Geeta Bali, Geeta Dutt and Dev Anand often figured in such songs.

After India became an independent nation in 1947, nation building began in the right earnest. Movies too reflected it, and many movies of that era talked about nation building, and also about the values and aspirations of the newly independent nation.

“Jaalsaaz” (1959) is a forgotten movie by now. But its songs were quite nice to listen to. If these songs are not known to many then it is the loss of the listeners.

“Ham Sab Chor Hain” (1955) is a movie of historical significance because here one can see many would be legends in action during their earlier days. For instance, it was one of the first movies as a music director for O P Nayyar. It is in movies like this that he began to groom Asha [...]

“Sailaab” (1956) is an obscure movie and so is the case with its music.

“Anokhi Ada” to me was a movie of 1970s starring Jeetendra and Vinod Khanna, but I came to know that there was another movie of this name in 1948 too. Why did these oldtimers choose the same name as a new movie and then had some boring music in that- this is what I used [...]

“Pyaar ki raahein” (1959) is an obscure movie by now and its music is just as obscure. But as far as the music is concerned, it deserved much better fate.

1960 was a decade that saw some memorable qawwalis being created. It is not just Roshan and Ravi who created them, even some lesser known music directors came up with nice qawwalis.
