“Biraadari” (1966) was a llow budget B grade movie with a casr consisting mainly of unknown actors. Little wonder then that the movie did not do anything spectacular at the box office.

When I was a youngster in my teens, I was under the impression that old songs meant boring songs, which were mostly like Ghazal, sad songs etc. But it is only much later that I realised that some wonderful light hearted songs too were created those days. I have already posted many of them in this blog.

Thanks to the farmaish by my readers, I have realised that “Mastaana” (1954) has some nice songs in it. When I listened to this song from “Mastaana” (1954), I realised that I had hit a goldmine.

“Love in Shimla” (1960), which predates all other “Love in …” movies in Bollwood was the debut movie of Sadhana and Joy Mukherji. And what a superb launch vehicle the two of them had got ! I have not watched the movie, but I have heard and watched a few songs of this movie, and if the songs are any indication, this movie was a great fun movie.

I have posted a song from “Joru Ka Ghulaam” (1972) where Rajesh Khanna was the lead actor. Another movie of the same name was released in 2000, and guess who was the lead actor in this movie ? It was Twinkle Khanna, daughter of our beloved Kaka.

I was on the lookout for this song for quite some time, ever since Raja gave me the farmaish of this song from “Shrimaanji”. In all this time, I managed to find (and post) several songs from “Shrimatiji”, but I drew a blank as far as locating songs of “Shrimaanji” was concerned.

Auraton ke dabbe mein mard aa gayaa

“Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh” (1960) is a movie about which I have become aware just a few days ago. I have no idea how this movie fared at the box office, but I am just amazed at the songs of this movie. Most of the songs are great comedy songs and if this movie and its songs did not do well then it is more a reflection of the lack of appreciation on the part of the audience rather than on the calibre of this movie or its songs. I can vouch for the fact that the songs of this movie are great fun and they should all be regarded as gems.

I have posted a few songs from “Shrimatiji” (1952). The music of this song sounds far far ahead of its time. This movie had songs of several genres that were non-existent/ un heard of those days.

“Anpadh” (1962) is mainly known for its two ghazals that are regarded as among the finesh ghazals of all times. But this movie had other songs as well, and these other songs were great songs on their own.
