“Kaala Sonaa” (1975) to my mind is inspired from “Westerns”. In this movie, Feroz Khan plays Clint Eastwood. Unlike Clint Eastwood, who would barely speak, our desi tough guy would not be averse to multi task. He would find time to romance, sing and dance, in addition to performing his day job of seeking revenge for the murder of his father.

On the other hand, the Hindi spoken in Hindi movies contained words that were not familiar to Hindi speakers. For instance, the language used in expressing the feelings of heart in Hindi movies is different from the language used in textbook Hindi.

When I meet people and I tell them that I have a blog of old songs, I get some well meaning advices, suggestions etc. One of these well meaning suggestions is that I need not re invent the wheel as far as writing down the lyrics of the song is concerned. Lyrics of all these songs are available in many sites, I am told almost patronisingly.

I have discussed almost all the well known Holi songs of Hindi movies in this blog. But that does not mean that I have discussed all the holi songs of Hindi movies. There are lesser known Holi songs from Hindi movies too that are interesting songs on their own right.

“Naya Raastaa” (1970) is somehow a movie that is largely unknown. It comes as a great surprise to me because it was an a grade movie starring Jeetendra and Asha Parekh.
