I have come to to the realisation by now that most old Bollywood movies were musical blockbusters by default. It meant that each of these movies had several nice songs contained in them.

Mukherji family was a very influential family in Bollywood. Brothers Shashdhar Mukherji and Subodh Mukherji were producers of Bollywood movies in 1950s and 1960s. Filmistan studio was co founded by Shashdhar Mukherji. Shashdhar Mukherji’s sons too were well known actors. Most movie followers are familiar with the names of his sons viz Joy Mukherji and Deb Mukherji.

I thought that Saira Bano was the first “bold” heroine who had appeared in a bathroom song in a Bollywood movie. I was wrong. She was beaten in it by another actress by more than a decade.

“Saahib Bibi Aur Ghulam” (1962) is a landmark movie in the history of Bollywood movies. The story, the plot, the acting- all these were top class. Public as well as critics appreciated this movie.

Here is a bicycle song from an obscure movie called “Zamaana” (1957). The song is picturised on Ameeta and Kamaljit (later better remembered as Waheeda Rehman’s husband). This song is a duet, mostly sung by Asha Bhonsle, with some male voice too. I have no idea about the male voice. It sounds like G M Durrani, but then he was no longer around in 1957 I think. The singer could well be Kamaljit himself. (PS- I have later read somewhere that it was Kamaljit himself).

I have seen many mujra songs in Bollywood movies, and this song is a mujra song, but with a difference. Mujra songs tend to be depressing because the female dancer performing mujra tends to be wallowing in self pity. But this song is different.

I notice that I have posted only one song from “Teesri Kasam” (1966) so far. This movie is a goldmine of songs that have gone on to become classics.

I thought that I had posted songs from “Sharada” in the past. It turns out that I was confusing “Sharada” with “Sadhana”. Yes, those days we had movies with names like “Sharada”, “Sadhana”, “Kalpana” etc which were also the names of some well known actresses. Incidentally, the actress with the same name was nowhere to be found in these movies.
