“Aar Paar” (1954) was clearly a milestone in the annals of Hindi movies. The songs of this movie were quite different from the kinds of songs that the music lovers were used to. And all the songs of the movie became popular and remain popular to this day. In fact there are so many popular songs in this movie that it is easy to lose count of them.

Since the time machines started getting invented, and later became an integral part of how the society (or a part of the society) started to use them on a large scale, a certain divide between the rural and urban milieu has also emerged. The debate on this un-ending. The rural system is the caretaker of farms and dairy, and plays the significant role of the provider of food to the entire society. The industrialized and urban system on the other hand, has become the provider of the mechanized solutions and consumer products for the society. Is there a way to determine whether one is more important than the other? Advocates of both sides have argued now for many years, trying to establish the preponderance of one over the other. (IMHO, the farm and agricultural sector is more important, because it is possible to do without many things, rather most things in life, if it comes to that. But one cannot do without food. But that is just my opinion 🙂 ).

These days I have begun to look at Rafi-Lata duets with renewed interest. My interest has been aroused after I learnt some interesting statistics about the number of duets the two have sung together. It is estimated that the duo have sung about 410 odd duets. It excludes those songs in which some other voices were also present. And it also excludes multiple version songs (viz. same song sung separately by the two).

“Saawan Ki Ghataa” (1966) was a movie directed by Shakti Samant. I find that the screenplay of this movie was written by Gulshan Nanda, the leading Hindi novelist of those days. So it leads me to think that this movie could well be based on a novel by Gulshan Nanda. Incedentally, movies like “Kati Patang”, Jheel Ke Us paar” etc are some of the movies based on Gulshan Nanda’s novels.

Many films stand out for their great songs; so much so that each song in those movies is an iconic gem. Such movies are remembered not for anything else, but for their music, regardless that its star cast is really grade A. The memories of such movies are because of the songs and not because of the stars; the true stars are the songs.

Though I subscribe to three newspapers daily, I rarely go through much of their contents and the newspapers finally end up with the “raddiwala” after a few months. But on saturdays I look forward to these newspapers, rather to one column of one newspaper. It is the “Swar panchami” column of Hindi newspaper “Dainik Bhaskar”. In this column, Vividh Bharati radio announcer Yunus Khan discusses a few old songs. And as can be guessed, this topic is right up my alley.

“Bandish” (1980) was a movie starring Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini. This was a Rajesh Khanna movie in his second phase as an actor after he had lost his superstardom. He tried very hard to regain his superstardom, but it was too late for him by that time. Typically his stellar performance in these movies would meet wit lukewarm response from movie goers. It was in such stark contrast to the response of public in his superstardom days when his appearance in the credits of a movie was all that was needed to bring in the crowds.
