Sizzlers of the 60s – the phrase brings a handful of names to the mind. Of course, we have Helen and Bela Bose. And there are some performances by Aruna Irani, Laxmi Chhaaya. But talking of performances worthy of burning down the projection screens, the one name that you cannot do without is Faryal. This fairy queen of cabaret was a strong contender for the number two spot behind Helen, for long years in the 60s and 70s. Her dance numbers in films like ‘Jewel Thief’ (1967) (on instrumental music) and ‘Taxi Driver’ (1973) “Pyaar Karte Ho Yaar. . .” are some of the most fascinating cabarets in Hindi cinema.

Aaja o mere raaja

This article is written by Pamir Harvey, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Today is Raja Swaminathan’s birthday! Raja is, as many of you must already be knowing, a regular contributor of posts here at this blog. Over the years I have learnt to admire his knowledge not only of Hindi songs, but also his knowledge in many fields particularly cricket. Raja is very lucid in his words and it is always a pleasure to read his passionate essays on his blog. His precise nature and ability to understand situations and context also makes him valuable as translator for the Edu productions in subtitling old films. More than all this I value Raja as a friend with whom I can do pagalpanthi! Happy Birthday Raja!
