Jaane kaisaa hai mera deewaana

I think I should have a new tag for those songs that were very popular in my younger days but I had no clue about the details of these songs. I would love to listen to these songs, only to forget all about them with passage of time. I have been re discovering those songs again now a days. There are several such songs, as I keep mentioning in my posts.

In India, where boys and girls are not allowed to mingle freely like in the west, most wedding alliances are fixed by the parents, again without taking the kids themselves into confidence. And after the parents finalise it, they inform the parties. One important information, and perhaps the only important information that a person often has is a photograph- a passport size photograph.

“Naunihaal” (1967) was a movie that did not do well at the box office. This movie had a few nice songs in it, though. After all, it has Madan Mohan as the music director.

Madan Mohan is known for his outstanding songs that were sung by Lata. But it is not as if he has created such songs only with Lata. He has had some memorable songs with other female singers as well. In fact, if one looks at all his songs in 1950s , then one of the most memorable song sung for him by a female singer in that decade could well turn out to be a song sung by Geeta Dutt.

Late 1960s was a time of glut for quality songs, so much so that these songs jostled for space and many great songs failed to catch the ears of the audience. Though I very much lived through those yeras, even I missed out listening to quite a few such songs, as I am discovering these days almost on a daily basis.

There are great songs that become all time great hits. And then there are some great songs that for some reason end up in obscurity. I have already posted a few obscure songs that deserved to be much better known among music lovers.

Ye duniya waale poochhenge

Umbrella is typically used in Bollywood movies to protect actors from rain, and sometimes sun. Hero and heroine sharing an umbrella and getting drenched makes for some of the most romantic scenes in Bollywood movies. Of course, it is much more romantic if they dispense with umbrella and decide to get drenched in rain.

Here is a song from “Andaaz”(1949) where Dlip Kumar, for a change, is not seen seated on a piano. The fact that this song is sung by Nargis and picturised on Nargis certainly helps.

Teri jawaani tapta maheena

“Amaanat” was a movie starring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana. I find that the date of release of this movie is shown as 1977. Considering that Sadhana had retired from movies in late 1960s, I think that “Amaanat” was a movie picturised in 1960s and accordingly I thought that it was a movie of 1967 rather than 1977.That is the only explanation for the kind of dresses worn by Sadhana and Manoj Kumar in this movie which are incongruous with the dressing styles of 1970s. This movie has an iconic song that goes “matlab nikal gaya hai to pahchaante .”. I am fully convinced that I have been listening to this song from 1960s itself.
