Aaj kal mein dhal gaya
Posted on: October 31, 2008
This song is a very well known song and a song that has the ability to move its listeners. Of course I am talking about the audio. I had not seen the picturisation till now. Now that I have seen the picturuisation, it turns out that the picturisation is quite moving too.

Pyaar hua hai jabse

What do I say about this song ? It was a big favourite of mine as well as that of others. But those days one could only listen what was played on radio and loudspeakers. So as a song stopped playing on these media, one tended to forget the song.

“Ye Gulistaan hamara” was a Dev Anand movie that few people remember today. The movie itself sank without a trace.
Ironically, this movie had a better storyline than some of the rubbish Dev Anand movies that met with better fate at the box office. May be the movie deserved it because Dev Anand in any case would not bother much about authenticity of picturisation in his movies.

Ek haseena thi ek deewaana thha

“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.

Aayi hai deewali
Posted on: October 27, 2008
I am surprised to note that there are very few Deewali songs in Bollywood movies unlike say Holi or Raakhi songs. One needs to go back many decades to look for deewali songs in Bollywood movies .

Kisi raah mein kisi modpar

I have posted different kind of songs in this blog. There is one big category of songs which are sung atop some mode of transportation viz car, train, boat etc. I have noticed that Jeetendra, the jumping jack takes the cake when it comes to singing songs atop different modes of transportation. In addition to the usual modes of man made transportations, he has sung song atop less obvious modes of transportation too. For instance, there was one Jeetendra song sung atop an elephant. I am sure he must have sung songs riding a horse also. He may have missed singing while riding buffalo and donkey though.

Do deewaane shahar mein

Here is a fantastic song from “Gharonda”. Neither the movie, nor the song were mainstream ones by the standards of 1977, but this song and this movie struck the right chords in the hearts of the audience.

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.

Dhal gaya din ho gayi shaam
Posted on: October 22, 2008
This song is also known as “dhal gaya din THUK ho gayi shaam THUK jaane do THUK jaana hai THUK“.
The lyricist Anand Bakshi had not included the word THUK in the lyrics. This additional word is there in the song thanks to the picturisation, where the heroine Leena Chandawarkar plays badminton with Jeetendra and the sound THUK is generated as the wooden racket hits the shuttlecock.
