Old film song lovers would be eternally thankful to the internet technologies and the websites hosting video/audio and MP3 clips of these songs which have made it possible to unearth many of the old film songs which were not known to most of us. I have been active on these websites for the last 3 years or so and I can say that not only has this brought back the memories of many songs after a gap of 30-40 years for me, but also brought to my notice some rare songs I was not aware of. I also became aware of some of the lesser known music directors, lyricists and singers.

In these movies, there would be an old fashioned strict patriarch/ matriarch who would regard himself as a know all and he would rule his joint family with an iron hand. The story of the movie would let movie goers have a laugh at the cost of that patriarch/ matriarch. This character was typically played by Om Prakash, Utpal Dutt, Dina Pathak etc.
