O motor waale babu
Posted on: December 23, 2011
“Chunariya” (1948) is by now an obscure movie. What I know about this movie is that this movie had Wasti, Manorama, Pran etc in it.
I have discussed two songs from this movie in the past. Here is another song from the movie. This is a light hearted song where the lady is calling her beloved who for some reasons has become annoyed with her. And her beloved is no ordinary person. He has got a Motor ! And the Motor (Car was called Motor in Hindi movies those days) could well be a beloved possession of the man, so the lady gives “duaa” in the song that may his motor remain intact.

Hansraj Behl made his composing debut in Hindi films, in the year 1946. As per records, his first film released is ‘Pujaari’ (1946). In the same year, two more films were also released with music composed by him. these are ‘Phulwaari’ and ‘Gvaalan’. Rare films in their own rights, and very little is known about them. This delightful song is from the film ‘Gvaalan’, sung by Zohrabai Ambaalewaali (or Zohrabai Ambaalaa).

In Hindi movies, there are songs for all occasions including songs meant to assuage the hurt feelings of the beloved. Now, how can one go about assuaging the hurt felings of one’s beloved ? The common and gentlemanly method is to say sorry. But then Hindi movie heroes (like Government employees) 🙂 can never see the errors of their ways and cannot say sorry. Even when they say sorry then do not mean it. In a railway station, one listens to the announcement saying ” The train is running late. We are sorry for the inconvenience”. The announcer hardly sounds sorry while making this announcement.

Mere dil ki nagariyaa mein aanaa

“Madhosh”(1951) is a movie that had Manhar Desai, Meena Kumari and Usha Kiran in lead roles. Talat Mehmood sung for Manhar Desai, whereas Lata sang for both the leading ladies. Thankfully the two leading ladies did not sing a duet together, else we do not know what the music directors would have done. 🙂

The year is 1966. The “Yahooooo” of Junglee has already happened in 1961, and has set a benchmark and a career path for Shammi Kapoor. After having spent a better part of 50s in a set of indifferent roles, Shammi Kapoor found his calling and came into his own in the spectacular success of Junglee.

Beimaan baalmaa maan bhi jaa
Posted on: July 10, 2009
This is a song from “Ham Sab Chor Hain” (1956). It is a movie where Shammi Kapoor( of his pre Shammi mannerisms days) is seen with Nalini Jaiwant. From the picturisation, it seems that Nalini Jaiwant enters Shammi Kapoor’s room without his permission and policemen look at her suspiciously. She calls for Shammi Kapoor (beimaan baalma). When he turns up, the policemen are satisfied and go away. Shammi Kapoor ofcourse wants nothing of her and he tries to throw her out even though she has not yet completed her singing. The protocol in Bollywood songs is, one waits for the song to end before one throws the singer out. 😉
