Vintage Kishore Kumar. And I thank Shekhar Vaishnav ji, who is connected to our blog from Sydney. Thanks for the reminder for this song.
The fun songs by Kishore Da are a class apart by themselves. There is nothing at all in this world to compare them to. And during the 50s and 60s, when Kishore Da also acted in many films, there is a number of very wonderful songs that he has sung and also performed on the screen. An accomplished actor that he was, he has done the best interpretations of his own singing, and has performed his own songs, as no other actor can even consider it possible. Each one of the pictures that he acted in, contain fantastic gems that are superb both from the singing as well as from the performance aspects.
