About this blog
I am Atul, an India based male in my 40s.My interests are similar to the interests of a typical Indian- Bollywood, cricket, politics etc.
I already have two blogs under my belt- squarecutsblog.blogspot.com is where I discuss music in general, and I used atulblog.wordpress.com for humour. Now I felt the need for a blog where I could express my admiration of certain bollywood songs that I simply love.
In this blog I will discuss some wonderful songs that I have had the privilege of listening to, over the years.Here I will discuss the songs, (including its lyrics and its translation into English), and my reasons why I like the song.I hope that there are many like minded people who will find these discussions interesting.
Your comments are welcome. Or you may email me at squarecut.atul@gmail.com

Update ( on 3 october 2008 )
I thank all the visitors of this blog for their encouragement. This blog has been regularly clocking more than 300 visits daily ( best being 506 visits a day). The home page now has a google page rank of 4. Many individual posts ( posted before 14 septeber 2008 ) now have google page ranks of 3 and some even 4. All this is entirely because of the readers of this blog.
I take this opportunity to thank all my visitors and I assure you all that I will try to live up to your expectations in future also. Please give your suggestions so that I may be able to improve this blog, which is a labour of love for me.
Update on 1 January 2009
I wish all my readers and their near and dear ones a happy new year. May this new year be the best ever for you.
I thank all my readers for patronising this blog and encouraging me by their visits, comments, and farmaishes.
Thanks to your encouragement, this labour of love now has as many as 480 outstanding Bollywood songs ( as on 1 january 2009) and growing at a good pace. This blog is clocking over 500 visits daily ( maximum being 995 in one day).
I thank all my visitors once again and assure you all that I will continue to bring more such songs regularly for your reading, listening and viewing pleasures.
Update on 12 november 2009
Now, the blog has over 2150 songs as on now. The traffic has also increased. Now the blog gets over 1500 hits a day on an average and the highest hit in a day has been 2301. The blog does very well on search engines for relevant searches. It is heartening to see the blog growing so nicely. Hopefully we will have exciting days ahead of us.
Update on 28 march 2010
Since november 2009, when I posted my last update, I have slowed down in my rate of posting. Still, 2365 number of songs as of now is quite a lot of songs.
I find that the number of visitors to this blog has stabilised to an average figure of around 1500 visits daily (2320 being the highest number of visits in a day), which works out to just under 50,000 visitors per month. This blog has received nearly 7,00,000 visits since it was started.
I may have slowed down, but Hopefully it is just the lull before the storm. There are still tens of thousands of great songs yet to be covered which will take a lifetime. In other words, I will be kept busy posting songs for a long long time and there is no possibility that I will be running out of songs to post any time soon.
Acknowledgements:
In this blog, I embed audio/video links from sites like youtube and dailymotion etc. I gratefully acknowledge the efforts and contributions that the uploaders of these songs make in making these songs available to us for our pleasure and enjoyment. Without these links, this blog would not be what it is.
I also provide information about songs that is culled from different sources, mostly by googling. I acknowledge their contributions too, which helps me provide some useful information about the songs that I discuss.
PS- Sometimes I get comments where new visitors ask me to send them various songs. I will like to point it out that this blog is a place to discuss songs and I am not in a position to send links to songs or the songs themselves. As can be seen, this blog is a labour of love where I discuss songs with people (many of them becoming good internet friends with me), and not a place to share download links.
Disclaimer– I would like to believe that I have a sense of humour. Raja in fact has coined a term “Atulism” for this kind of humour. I often love to make light hearted comments about movies, songs, actors etc in my discussion of the songs. They are needed to be taken as such and should not be misconstrued as anything serious. I love to make light hearted observations and those observations need to be treated as such.
It has been made amply clear that this blog is a labour of love where we value the oldtime virtues of honesty and transparancy. By now we have a core group of regulars who are making invaluable contributions voluntarily through various means, viz sending lyrics, writeups, informations etc. Music lovers who are willing to join this music bandwagon are welcome.
Music lovers who are willing to contribute lyrics should ensure that their contributions are original in the sense that they should have listened to the lyrics themselves and noted them down. Please do not send incorrect/ incomplete lyrics copied from elsewhere on internet calling them your contributions. We in this blog are very particular about the completeness and accuracy of lyrics that are being posted.

I have a few more farmaishes. I just realized that I could not find any of the songs from the movie Lajwanti. That movie had some great songs, such as
1. Kuch din pehle ek taal mein kamal kunj ke andar … Asha and chorus. This would also qualify as a children’s song.
2. Koi aaya dhadkan kehti hai … Asha
3. Aaja chhaaye kare kare …. Geeta Dutt and chorus
4. chanda re chanda re … Asha. This is a very soothing lori.
5. Gaa mere man gaa tu gaa … Asha
6. chanda mama mere dwar aana … Asha and Manna Dey
I just couldn’t believe it when I found that all these songs, which are all great ones, are from the same movie.
At this rate, you will probably do your 5000th song before this year is over.

Dear Atul
Last night I was surfing the net and incidentally came across your previous blog “Binaca Geetmala….”. I went through the contents and found the year of program on the blog was 1959. It could have been aired when I was only 16 or 17 days old.
But I can appreciate the contents now which in addition to Singing also show Dancing Geetmala. Comments from your internet friends were also read by me, who are still actively participating on this blog.
With this I went to bed and after a sound sleep when I woke up today morning I had another sweet memory of the past (between 1976 and 1981).
Many people donot know even those days about another program being aired, soon after “Binaca Geetmala (on Radio Ceylon)”, by Radio Australia. The presentor was Mr. V.L.Chakrapani. This was available immediately after the completion of Binaca Geet Mala program. It was aired on 25m band as well as 19m band. The Fifteen minutes program, though compered in English by Mr. V.L.Chakrapani, broadcasting Hindi songs. And to everybody’s surprise the most played song was “Dekha Hai Sabhi Ne Chand Ko” from film “Dil Ne Pukara(1967)”. Other songs I cannot recall (if I could I will share them too).
The last line from Mr. Chakrapani at the end of program still plays in my memory. “This is V.L.Chkrapani signing off from Radio Australia”. Like we have the voice of Sir Ameen Syani’s “Bahnon Aur Bhaiyo, Main hoon apka radio dost….”.
Now, since I have a pleasent part of memory refreshed I request you to put on your blog these two songs by Rafi Saheb from Dil Ne Pukara(1967)
1. Dekha Hai Sabhi Ne Chand Ko – Sanjay Khan & Rajshri
2. Humko Hone Laga Hai Pyar Tumse – South Indian touch in music.
Many many Thanks

There were a couple of other good songs too in that movie:

I remember seeing a movie called Ghunghat which was based on a Tagore story “The Wreck” and had some very nice songs:
1. Laage na mora jiyaa … by Lata, easily the best song in the movie
2. Mori cham cham baaje paayaliyaa … Lata
3. Haye re insaan ki majbooriyan … Rafi
4. Do nain mile do phool khile … Rafi and Lata or Asha
If you wonder how I happened to see this movie, my mother was responsible! She had heard that this movie was based on a Tagore novel, so we saw this movie, which was not bad, from what I remember. The song Laage na mora jiyaa is a beautiful song and it sounds like a MM song, but apparently Ravi was the music director.

I was looking through last night’s songs and I saw a song which starts with “Ae mere dil teri manzil …” and I was reminded of another song “Ae dil kahan teri manzil …” sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata. The female voice is basically just a chorus so it could even be Suman Kalyanpur, I will have to check this, but it sounds so great. It reminds me of birds taking off in flight, looking for a suitable resting place. So here is my next farmaish!
I was also noticing that the movie Ayee Milan Ki Bela has some great songs and they are all missing! I guess they are on the waiting list! Here are some of them:
Tum kamsin ho … Rafi as well as Lata, but I prefer the Rafi version.
Bura maan gaye … Rafi
Tumhe aur kya doon main dil ke siwa … Lata
I am sure some of these songs have already been requested before by Raja and others. I am usually a Late Lateef!

One things leads to another and a post by Richard in Dances of the Footpath made me realise that Pakeezah’s music did not get a single award in 1972, which were hogged by a film called Beimaan, both in acting and music categories.
For the life of me I can’t remember this film or its music, and Wikipedia says Pran refused his supporting actor award for this film because Ghulam Mohammad was not given a posthumous award for his Pakeezah work.
I find it incredible and I have been looking at the songs list of Beimaan, and not one of them rings a bell from the lyrics. I will have to listen to them to see if any of those have lasted as well as Pakeezah’s music.

Beimaan was a Manoj Kumar movie. Its songs were of chaalu nature which appealed to the aam janta at that time.
Its title song was “na izzat ki chinta na fikr koi apmaan ki jai bolo beimaan ki jai bolo”. This song was 6th in Binaca geetmala finals of 1972.
If Pakeja did not get any awards, then at least those awards should have gone to “Hara Rama Hare Krishna” whose song stood number 1 in Binaca geetmala, whereas two paakeja songs were at number 2 and 3 in Binaca geetmala finals.
I agree, Beimaan getting these awards speaks poorly about the taste of the people who voted for these awards. I was just over 10 or 11 years old at that time, but even I had better taste than that. I personally did not like the songs of Beimaan.

There chalu songs that are much better than others. Time puts everything in its place.
I just realised that Pakeezah and Beimaan were competing in 1972, not 1971.
So the competition would have been Piya Ka Ghar, Parichay, Ek Nazar, Samadhi (Jab Tak rahe, Bangle ke peechhe, Jaane Jana)..are some of the ones I can recognise.
All of them had some enduring numbers but Pakeezah really should have swept away with it.
I don’t how the Binaca geet mala was worked out: I remember Pakeezah songs being played day and night on the radio, and the elders remarking on that fact (esp Inhi Logon Ne, Chalte chalte, and chalo dildar chalo….but all the others too)
Now, reading more, I realise the Jaiksihen part of Shankar- Jaikishen passed away from cirrhosis of the liver around that time, so this was maybe a “sentimental” award for some true rubbish.

Yes, Jaikishan had passed away at that time. But recognising Beimaan as a masterclass of Shankar Jaikishan is a big disservice to them since Shankar Jaikishan were the greatest and most successful music directors of all time when Jaikishan died. Shankar Jaikishan had composed hundreds of better and all time classic songs than this “Beimaan” song.
This award, filmfare award was an award based on votes by readers of the magazine. If the readers voted that way, then who are we to question their wisdom ? And in fact “Beimaan” swept the awards that year. So what ? Who remembers this movie today ?

Madan Mohan’s son remembers this in an article
“It was not getting the Filmfare Award that really bothered my father. In the year when Mera Saaya was in the reckoning, he told us that all the issues of Filmfare had been bought. I’m not saying there was any cheating but when consumers had to fill in the coupons about their choices, it was so easy to manipulate the awards.”

I was walking in my garden yesterday and … I remembered some songs about gardens and bees, and here they are:
1. Baagon mein baharon mein ithlaatha gaata aaya koi … Lata from Choti Bahen?
2. Baagh mein kali khili bhanwara … Asha in Chand aur suraj
3. Bhanwara bada naadaan haye … Asha in Sahib bibi aur ghulam
4. Gunguna rahen hain bhanware … Rafi, Asha in Aradhana
5. Bikhra ke zulfein chaman mein na jaana … Mukesh, Lata in nazrana
So here are some farmaishes from me, Atul!
This is such a nice site to come to and listen to some old songs from the past, some of which I barely remember, yet are so soothing and melodious to the ear. Thanks for a great job, Atul!

Having an artistic inclination V. Shantaram movies had quite a big impact on me. The music, dance and narrative style stood out from the rest. You have already posted few incredible songs from his movies. One “farmaish” that I have is for video of the song “Bindiya lagake” from Jal bin machli nritya bin bijli. I remember being spell bound by this song as a kid as it had the right quotient of story and dance that could keep any child on his seat for a while. All my attempts to search the video of that song have so far been futile. I am hopeful. Thanks!!!
