I have been coming across “new” songs quite regularly these days. In one case, I even came across a Mukesh song sung for a Caribbean movie in 1970s.

Jodi hamaari jamega kaise jaani

This song from “Aulaad” is a long standing farmaish of Raja, but all these days I had been hampered from posting it because its video is not available. After searching for its video and drawing a blank, I took its audio clip and I decided to present this song with the picture of Chitragupta, the music director of this movie and indeed of this song.

This “Chori Chori” sung is an ultimate “Chaayageet” song, full with words like “raat”, “chaand”, “fizaa” etc. And this is a movie of Raj Kapoor-Nargis era too.

Aane waala pal jaanewala hai

“Golmaal” was a light hearted movie, and I doubt that its songs were planned to be of anything more than timepass nature. But trust the Gulzar-R D Burman combination to take their jobs so seriously that they came up with this song in a timepass situation which went on to become an evergreen composition. In fact, for a long time, I used to wonder why people take this song so seriously. Finally I have shrugged my shoulders and reconciled myself to the fact that this song must be treated as a serious classic song.

This song from “Baat ek raat ki” (1962) is regarded as a Hemant Kumar classic. This song is picturised on Dev Anand and Waheeda Rahman. Technically this song should be called a duet because Suman Kalyanpur’s voice is also there,singing for Waheeda Rahman, but she sings hardly one line or two.

This movie “Mukti” was as boring and rubbish as any Bollywood movie can ever be, and it came as no surprise when this movie flopped.

Most of the songs posted in this blog are well known for me as well for my readers. But sometimes, I come across songs which either I or my readers may be totally unfamiliar with. I have, for instance, come across some forgotten gems from some forgotten Bollywood movies which I had never heard before.

Mujhe yaad karne waale
Posted on: January 1, 2009
I had never heard this song. When I listened to it for the first time yesterday, I almost felt like I was listening to a haunting song from “Mera Saaya” or “Woh Kaun Thi”. This song is indeed a Lata-Madan Mohan masterclass, but it is not from the aforementioned movies. This song is from a movie called “Rishte Naate” and as it happened so often in movies with Madan Mohan as the music director, this movie failed at the box office.
