I have been posting the songs of “Anmol Ghadi” (1946) these days. It was pointed out to me that I had not posted arguably the most popular song of the movie, viz. “Aawaaz de tu kahaan hai”. Was it really so ? I checked up and found that I had posted two songs from this movie starting with “A” , but the song under discussion was not one of them. And I was actually under the impression that the song was already posted !

“Milan” (1967) was a musical blockbuster. I remember its songs being all over the place when I was a very young kid. As a kid, I would have dearly loved to see this movie, but those days many parents rationalised that watching movies was bad for kids. There is nothing new in that. Every pleasurable activity known to mankind is always regarded as bad/illegal/immoral etc by authorities and therefore discouraged since time immemorial.

Regular Hindi movie watchers may have certainly watched a few historical/mythological movies involving Kings. In these movies,King and his ministers would assemble in a Raj Darbaar (King’s court) the way today’s Business houses have their General Body Meeting. What is common in all these meetings is that after the meeting, there would be often by an entertainment programme. Today, the location of entertainment may be different from that of the meeting, but that was not the case in historical times. The entertainment programme would take place in the Raj darbaar itself.

In Hindi movies, Kids are supposed to be a straight line extention of grown ups, so they are shown behaving like grown ups. Lead actors who are shown in love with each other in their grown up age are shown to be in love with each other even in their childhood in case their childhood is depicted in the movie.

These days I am posting songs from “Pooja Ke Phool” (1964). I have noticed that this movie has some wonderful songs in it. So far I have posted two songs from this movie which were sung by Lata. These songs are easily among the best songs that the Lata-Madan Mohan combination gave us in their long association.

In my definition, Chaayaageet song is one which is sung in the period between 10 PM to midnight. :D. That way, a song talking about a period after midnight is not a chaagyaageet song. May be I should call such a song as “post Chaayaageet period” song.

Khushiyon ko lootkar yahaan

In Indian history/mythology/ folk tales, we have been handed down a few love stories, viz “Shirin Farhad”, “Sohni-Mahiwaal”,”Laila-Majnu” etc. All these love stories have one thing in common. And it is the tragic nature of these stories. And that is to be expected seeing that the ground reality in Indian culture does not allow people of opposite genders to openly interacts and fall in love with each other.
