Watching the picturisation of this song, I cannot help feeling that the maker of this movie must have had Shammi Kapoor in mind while picturising this song. And indeed, when one listens to this song, one gets the feeling that one is listening to one of the Rafi songs sung for Shammi Kapoor.

“Oonche log” (1965), not to be confused with “Oonche log” (1985) was an interesting movie which had no role for females. The supposed leading lady of the movie hardly had any role or dialogues in the movie. I cannot understand the reason behind such misogyny on the part of the makers of this movie.

This Rafi song is one that I have been listening to from my childhood, and this is one of the Rafi songs that is hardwired into my brain. Of course, additional informations viz movie, music directors etc were not part of that information.

There are many songs in which hero teases the lady in Bollywood movies. The degree of teasing depends on the hero as well as on the singer.

“Mera Saaya” is full of memorable songs. It is difficult to tell which song is the best. In my opinion one should avoid ranking songs and enjoy all of them.

Naa kisi ki aankh ka noor hoon

Creating myths and perpetuating them is easy when the myth sounds plausible. One of the biggest myths surrounding “na kisi ki aankh ka noor hoon” is that it was written by the last Moghul Bahadurshah Zafar. Most people, including me, believed this myth. But I have come to know that this myth created is not true.

“Khamoshi” (1969) was a superb movie, and it earned rave reviews when it was released. It was a labour of love for the director Asit Sen (not the comedian Asit Sen but a different person) and it was a remake of his own bangla movie called “deep jwele jaaye” (1959).

Here is one song from “Thhodi si bewafaai”. The hopes, aspirations, egos etc of a couple have been described so beautifully that one cannot but help admire Gulzar’s penmanship. What amazingly great lyrics he could conjure up ! And he had a very good understanding with his music directors. No doubt, Gulzar and Khayyam came up with some soul stirring numbers in this movie.
