Rains have always provided a nice frame for romance and thus in Indian films we find many rain or monsoon songs. There are rain songs, where the lovers meet, there are rain songs, where one lover is pining for his/her partner or rain songs which celebrates the coming of rain after a long dry season. The latter being less romantic and more practical.

The Shammi-Arjun starrer Malhaar (1951), which was conceived by S.K.Pal and directed by Harish, was first of the two films produced under the banner of Darling Films by singer Mukesh (the other being “Anuraag” in 1956). It had a young and largely inexperienced cast and crew, for many of whom it was their debut vehicle. The film was a showpiece of technical brilliance, especially the taut and precise editing by S. Prabhakar and deft cinematography by M. Rajaram, considering the equipment available to him in that era.

Thanks to cyclone ‘Nilam’ whole of Tamil Nadu, parts of Andhra & many parts of Karnataka are having rains for the past few days. And Bangalore has gone cold. So we are experiencing fantastic romantic (in my husband’s words) climate. Baarish bhi sardi bhi!!! Ab in such a situation I read this post by Atul and thought wow! He has posted “Rama Rama“from “Naya Zamaana” so we can have one more “rain” song. Then I saw that we have a song from “Dus Lakh” soon thereafter so I thought we really need another romantic song to celebrate the weather. So here it is from “Maan Gaye Ustaad” starring Shashi kapoor Hema Malini Pran & wonder of wonders Amjad Khan playing Hema’s long lost brother. Imagine this relationship if you remember “Sholay” & “Jab Tak Hai Jaan” (mind it I am here talking of the Sholay song not Yash Chopra’s next movie’s title, God let him rest in peace).

While I was busy checking up the details of Saif ali Khan whose birthday falls today(16 august), I came across the information that today is the birthday of Manisha Koirala too. I as well as the regular contributors had missed out on her birthday. It turns out that she was born on 16 july 1970, exactly on the same day and year that Saif Ali Khan was born. Could they be identical twins separated at birth, Hindi movie istyle ? 
Not likely, because such separation at birth happens only in non royal families (viz. Pran and Nirupa Roy, for instance:) ). Here both Saif Ali Khan and Manisha Koirala happened to be born in royal families, silver spoon and all.
