Though I have seen the movie “Jugnu” (1973), I do not much remember the songs of this movie. While looking for deewali songs, I found that this movie indeed has a deewali song, and that too a happy deewali song. I wonder how I do not remember this song despite watching this movie.

I regard Ravi as the creator of iconic songs. Whatever the occasion, one can have a few iconic songs from Ravi for the occasion. Ravi indeed has a few iconic Deewali songs under his belt, as can be expected.

“Deepawali” also called “Deewaali” means festival of lights in Hindi. There is another similar sounding unrelated word in Hindi called “deewaala” which means bankruptcy, which is nearly an antonym of deewaali. This word play of deewaali and deewaala is often used in common conversation by people.

Most “deepawali” festival songs are sad/ cynical songs, but there are happy “deepawali” songs as well. Here is one such song.
