Here is a song from “Dr Vidya” (1962). Only the audio of this song is available and so I am unable to find out about its picturisation.

I had mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I keep an excel sheet to keep track of all the songs posted, as well as all the farmaishes sent by readers. It appears that Sid, a longtime reader and farmaish sender of this blog also maintains an excel sheet to keep track of the farmaishes sent. 😀 Sid would often remind me of farmaishes sent long time back.

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 mentioned in the past that Salil Chaudhary’s music was about quality rather than quantity. Just about every song that he created was a labour of love. He spent lots of time getting inspiration for his tunes. When he was in search of inspiration for new tunes, he would go to his kitchen a cook a delicacy (Illish fish, perhaps ?) and he would come up with his tunes.

Bollywood romantic songs are reputed to be sung while running around trees. But how do the hero and heroine reach there in the first place ? In case they are rich, they have a car to reach there, but there is nothing romantic in that. It is far more romantic when the hero is driving a motor bike and the lady seated behind is clinging on to him with her arms strategically placed on hero’s body.

I have posted several songs from “Anaadi” (1959) in this blog, but even I was not aware of this song. I have listened to this song for the first time just today, viz 50 years after this song was created.
