It was an out and out timepass song. But it was so good that it became an evergreen song, and an immortal song as well. So if one ever wants to listen to an evergreen timepass song, look no further than this song.

My regular readers may have noticed that I classify my songs based on the place where the song is picturised. Thus we have had car song, rail song, even elephant song, in this blog.
This particular song is a bathroom song by my definition because it is sung in a bathroom. Unlike most bathroom songs which are sung by amateur bathroom singers, this bathroom song is sung by no less a singer than Lata. What is more, this must be one of the sweetest and most melodious songs that Lata must have sung in her career. At least that is what I have always felt about this song.

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.

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.

There are different songs for different times and moods. When it is time for rains, it is time for love to blossom in Bollywood. That way, I have always felt that the Valentine day (and season) in Bollywood is not in the spring season, but in the rainy season.

Dhal gaya din ho gayi shaam

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.

This is an absolutely wonderful evergreen song sung by Umadevi.
This song was picturised on an actress called Munawwar Sultana. The actress as well as the singer are no more around, but this song has easily become immortal.

Akele akele kahaan jaa rahe ho

Shammi Kapoor, who started his career with a whimper in 1950s, began to create waves in 1960s, beginning with “kashmir Ki kali”, and ever since, all his subsequent movies saw him playing similar roles in movies with similar story lines.
One common thread in all these movies used to be lilting music, typically sung by Rafi with gusto.
