A few days ago, I had discussed about my resolution to post all the available Sajjad Hussain compositions in this blog.

“Waqt” (1965) was a path breaking movie in more ways than one. For one, it was a multistarrer movie, one decade before this term came into circulation. Secondly, it was the movie that set the rules for lost and found movies which became the norm one decade later. In brief, “Waqt” (1965) inspired movie makers like G P Sippy (Sholay, Shaan) as well as Manmohan Desai (Amar Akbar Anthony).

I have posted songs from almost all these movies, in addition to posting songs from other Shammi Kapoor movies where he played other kinds of roles.

In Hindi movies, love songs are arguably the most frequent form of songs that one comes across.Even among love songs there are so many varieties. “Missing the beloved” is one of these varieties. This opens up the opportunity for creating a song sung by the person missing the beloved. Job of the lyricists to come up with lyrics for such situations must be quite a challenge, seeing that such situations arise in every movie. To the credit of the lyricists of those days, they invariably managed to come up with original songs/ concepts to describe the feelings of the actors.
