Atul’s Song A Day- A choice collection of Hindi Film & Non-Film Songs

Archive for April 2010


I have posted a few well known songs from “Aan Milo Sajna”(1970). There are some “lesser known ” songs in this movie. By “lesser known”, what I mean is that I was not aware about these songs being part of “Aan Milo Sajna” when everyone else did.

“Lahore” (1949) is a love story that begins at Lahore in pre- independence days.Nargis and Karan Dewan falling in love there. Then independence leads to partition and violence. They are separated in the aftermath of partition. The two finally reunite at Delhi when a Muslim protects Nargis brings her to Delhi.That way, the story of “Lahore” is somewhat similar to the story of “Chhaliya” (1959).

I have posted a song from “Waapas” (1943) in the past. Here is another song from this movie. The audio quality of this song is quite decent considering that it is nearly 70 years old. The song is a duet which is sung by Asit Baran and Indrani Roy and it is picturised on them too.

“Jawaab” (1942) is a movie whose print is still available and some kind hearted souls have uploaded the songs of this movie too. The songs from this movie make for interesting study.

It magically transports the listeners to an era some 70 years ago when things were much different.

One interesting genre of Bollywood songs is the one kind where the leading man/ leading lady reach the villain’s hideout and keep him amused by singing and dancing. The villains must be severely entertainment starved, seeing how eager they are in watching the song and dance performance. and this allows the colleagues of the dancing persons to enter the den unnoticed. 😉

While looking for songs of “Waapas” (1969), I came across the songs of another movie made 26 years earlier, viz “Waapas” (1943). Those were the days when the recording technology was primitive and the actors sang their own songs. The singing techniques and styles were vastly different too.
