In 1950s, there were a few movies, (now forgotten) that had Delhi (Dilli) in the title of the movie. These movies tended to have Kishore Kumar in the lead role. For example, Kishore Kumar acted in “Nai Dilli” (1957) as well as “Dilli ka thug” (1959).

After watching every song of “Johny Mera Naam”, I have described that song as the best song in the movie, only to say the same thing about the next song from the movie. I have already posted a few songs from this movie ( two to be precise) and just about every song is so wonderful to listen to and watch. A fresh as lily Hema and a dashing Dev Saab made quite an impression in this movie, especially in the songs.

Here is yet another song from 1970s which I liked a lot those days, without having much details about it, except that it was sung by Kishore Kumar. It went “koyi maane ya na maane jo kal tak the anjaane, wo aaj hamen jan se bhi pyaare ho gaye”.

Early years of 1970s saw a trend ( short lived though) where we had some songs where the the lyrics were quite direct. I call such songs as “straight talk” songs, where there is no beating about the bush. I have already posted a few such “straight talk” songs, for example “dil machal raha hai” from “Khalifa”.

“Karz” of 1980 was a musical blockbuster. Though many fans were not aware about it, but most tunes in that movie were lifted from western tunes, including the most popular ” meri umar ke nauzawaanon”. Of course, all that plagiarism did not affect the popularity of Bollywood songs of this , or any other movies, in any ways.

We all have seen and enjoyed Mahmood singing “Hum kaale hain to kya hua dilwaale hain” in Gumnaam. Some two decades later, Manmohan Desai has Amitabh Bachchan doing a Mahmood in “Desh Premee”.

In 1970s, Rajesh Khanna was the reigning male superstar whereas Hema Malini was the dream girl. But the two hardly paired with each other. Rajesh Khanna was mainly paired with Mumtaz and Sharmila Tagore, whereas the pairing of Dharmendra and Hema Malini was taken for granted those days.

I have an old diary where I noted down lyrics of songs that I liked those days ( in 1976). I find that many of the songs that I have written down in that diary are popular even today. On the other hand, some very popular songs of those days have been forgotten.
Here is one such forgotten song. Now a days when we are rediscovering old gems, here is my contribution towards that exercise. This song is certainly an old gem of R D Burman, which deserves to be cleaned and dusted, and put on display as one of the masterpieces of R D Burman.

This was a song from a run of the mill movie starring Shashi Kapoor and Mumtaz. But before one knew, this song caught the imagination of the whole nation and the subcontinent.
Though this is supposed to be a light hearted wedding song, it has become much more than that. With suitable modification, it is used by people in the subcontinent for many occasions.
