If Rekha celebrates her birthday on 10th october then can Amitabh Bachchan be far behind ? He celebrates his birthday the very next day, viz. 11th october. And that gives me an opportunity (rather command from my regular readers) to post Amitabh Bachchan songs on this opportunity.

Normally I post a mix of songs everyday that span decades, singers, actors, music directors etc. But there are special occasions when the songs posted in the blog may have something in common.

By 1980s, the lyrics of Hindi movie songs had become much more functional and basic. In many cases, the songs of that era virtually dispensed with the need of any meaningful lyrics and managed with gibberish passing for lyrics.

Here is a song from “Mahaan” (1983). This is a wonderful sentimental song which appears in the movie twice and it is sung by different singers on both the occasions.

Two songs from this movie have already been posted on this blog, and Atul has gone public with his negative views on the movie. He found the movie too contrived, too silly even. Maybe he has a point of view, but may I present the alternate view.

In this blog I have posted songs that fall into various categories. These days I am finding that there are some songs of a certain (artificial) category namely “songs that I thought were already posted but I was wrong”.

“Laawaaris” (1981) was a movie of the time when Amitabh was at the zenith of his career when the only way for him was to go downhill. Those were the days when moviewatchers went to the movie to watch Amitabh Bachchan the superstar, not Amitabh Bachchan the actor. Amitabh Bachchan and his producers had started to rest on the laurels that he had won in the past years. It was expected that the same old tired storyline would continue to wrk in movie after movie. And so it proved too.

“Satte Pe Satta” (1982) was an adaptation of “Seven Brides for seven brothers”. When Bollywood makers draw inspirations from Western movies, they often spoil the original. This movie is one of the few that manages to remain an enjoyable movie. I have not watched the original, so I cannot say which movie was more fun, but I know for sure that “Satte Pe Satta” had some nice songs that the original movie did not have, 😉
