I have discussed as many as five songs from “Rajkumar” (1964) so I naturally got complacent (like a good Indian cricket fan 🙂 )and thought that I had discussed all the songs from this movie.

Sune na koi man ki vyathaa

I have often mentioned that the Hindi that one got to listen to in Hindi movies is not the same that I studied in my Hindi classes during my school days. The Hindi taught in the school was chaste Hindi whose vocabulary was mainly derived from Sanskrit. The Hindi, as used by Government of India is also of the same nature. 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.

Aaj holi hai holi
Posted on: March 20, 2011
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.

Tumhi rehnumaa ho meri zindagi ke
Posted on: March 18, 2011
Early 1970s had seen some non mainstream movies made on “bold” subjects. The movie watchers, as well as the movie critics were not mature enough to appreciate these movies. These movies were badly panned by the critics and such movies flopped. “Dastak”, “Chetna” and ‘Do Raahaa” were a few such movies.

I have discussed as many as five wonderful songs from “Waqt” (1965) in the past and yet this song was not one of them ! It just goes on to prove my point that this movie, in addition to being a multi starrer, was a musical blockbuster too.
