Here is a song from “Punar Milan” (1964). “Punar Milan” (1964) was a B grade movie and the makers of this movie saved money as far as hiring artists was concerned. Considering the talent available on the music scene, hiring talented out of work music director was not a problem, but hiring a lesser actor like Jagdeep as the hero of this movie proved counter productive.

In my bid to clear the backlog of old farmaishes, here is a song whose farmaish was given by Raja more than one year back. Apart from my usual excuses for not being able to post it earlier (too many songs to be posted, I am too lazy etc), locating the video link of this song was a problem too. Now that I have been able to locate this song and I am trying to clear the backlog of farmaishes, here is this song from “Ganga Jamuna” (1961).

In my bid to clear the backlog of my old farmaishes, here is one song whose farmaish was given more than one year back. This song is from “Suhaagan” (1964). This song is a duet sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Madan Mohan is the music director. Madan Mohan teamed up with Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Rajinder Krishan in most of his movies and on the other hand he rarely worked with the leading names (Shailendra, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Sahir Ludhianvi and Hasrat Jaipuri). But in this movie, he worked with Hasrat Jaipuri. And what superb lyrics Hasrat Jaipuri came up with in this movie !

You can see cycle rickshaw in Old Delhi, but not in New Delhi, for example.

Badraa chaaye..aaya saawan jhoom ke

In western cultures, only one day in the spring season , called Valentine’s day is dedicated for love. In Indian culture , on the other hand, an entire season, viz the rainy season is the season of love. It did not begin with the advent of Bollywood movies. Even in ancient Sanskrit novels, for instance in Kalidas’ “meghdoot”, we find the rainy season described as the season when there is love in the air.
