I have been posting songs from “Anmol Ghadi” (1946) these days. So far, all the songs posted by me (all 8 of them) have been centred around Noorjahaan and Surendra, but this movie als had Suraiyya in it. And naturally, she too sang songs in this movie.

I am not very good in remembering important dates viz birthdays etc, unless it happens to be my own . I remember my daughter’s birthday too because her countdown for the next birthday is an ongoing process.There are occasions when I have forgotten the birthday of my wife ( Disclaimer- Do not try it at home with your wife). In this blog, the only important days I remember are the obvious ones viz important natioanal holidays or important Indian festivals. On those days, I post songs relevant to those occasions.

I was under the impression that “Wo Kaun Thi” (1964) was all about Lata-Madan Mohan compositions. There were as many as three of them. But there were other singers in this movie as well.

After watching so many “teasing” songs, I find non- teasing songs such a sight for sore eyes. These are songs where the boy is treating the girl in a dignified manner and the girl is not minding his advances. Here is one such delighfully picturised romantic song from “Ghoonghat” (1960).

I have been posting the songs of “Anmol Ghadi” (1946) these days. It was pointed out to me that I had not posted arguably the most popular song of the movie, viz. “Aawaaz de tu kahaan hai”. Was it really so ? I checked up and found that I had posted two songs from this movie starting with “A” , but the song under discussion was not one of them. And I was actually under the impression that the song was already posted !

The charm of Hindi films for me began from the time I began watching them avidly. The charm lay in those unique features of the Hindi film; multi-starrer, great fight scenes, action-packed, zingy songs and scintillating dialogues. If this was coupled with a lost-and-found brother/friend plot, with messages on religious harmony, and with good triumphing over evil, what more could a teenager want!

From time immemorial, mankind has felt the need to be successful. This has led to the emergence of people who tell aam janta how to succeed. And by the 20th century, there were a host of experts telling us how to succeed. In olden days, they wrote books, which were bought by aam janta and the authors, who till then were unsuccessful themselves, went on to become successful and they would tell their readers to draw inspiration from their example and act likewise to succeed.

When I look back at the list of songs, I find that there are lots and lots of “weepy” songs in Hindi movies. In fact I need to open a new category names like this. Clubbing them all as sad songs will not do.
