Another Lata gem from 1960s. This song from Anupama (1966) was picturised on Surekha ( I thank Raja for this information). The Bollywood actresses those days tended to look like Vyjyantimala, Meena Kumari or Asha Parekh. Surekha looks so much like Asha Parekh in this song. May be that is because of similar appearance, hair style etc.

This movie was “Darr”, a Yash Chopra movie, where the upcoming hero Sharrukh Khan played a negative role and stole the thunder.
And it was this song that defines his character in this movie, that of a psycho who is obsessed about possessing the girl of his dream, who is already married to someone else.

A superb song picturised on Vinod Khanna, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Shafi Inaamdaar, etc. ( Can someone tell me the name of the lady playing Shafi’s wife ?).
For a long time, I thought that this song was sung by Kishore Kumar. Now it turns out that it is sung by Kumar Sanu. The Kishore Kumar clone that Kumar Sanu is, he has sung this song superbly and it has got to be one of his best songs ever. Sadhana Sargam, who makes her first appearance in this blog, sounds so sweet, almost sugar like.

Nain so nain nahin milaao

“Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje” was a musical blockbuster of its time. This movie had many songs that broke new ground in the history of Bollywood filmy music.
One of the memorable songs from this movie was this duet sung by Lata and Hemant Kumar. And just notice the lyrics. Hasrat Jaipuri, considered a shayar, has written this song where you cannot find any trace of urdu shayari. The words are written in simple semi rural dialect of Hindi spoken in UP.

It is a beautiful song from a 1981 movie called Dhanwaan. Rajesh Khanna was making yet another gallant attempt to regain his lost position, Rakesh Roshan was making yet another attempt to revive an almost non existent career and Reena Roy was acting in yet another sensitive role ( unlike how she began her career).

“Dil ek mandir” is one of those musical blockbusters that were common in 1950s and 60s, where almost every song would become very popular and even evergreen.
I have heard this song “ruk jaa raat thahar ja re chanda” many times, often without knowing which movie the song is from. I have never seen the movie, and I had not seen the video of the song either till recently.

The first thing that many younger people may notice in this song is that Rakesh Roshan, the father of the present day superstar Hritik Roshan ( but to me the son of music director Roshan) had ample hair on his head unlike the takla that he is these days. Rakesh Roshan was just managing to keep his nose above water as an actor those days, and this movie “Kaamchor” helped his cause a great deal.

I have heard this song and I liked it. Of course I had no idea which movie it was from and who were the composer, lyricist, singer, actor etc. It turns out that the movie is called Criminal (1995) and it was a remake of some Telugu movie, and perhaps that too was called Criminal.
The song is quite hummable. Credit says singers are Kumar Shanu and Alka Yagnik. I can identify Kumar Shanu’s voice, It appears to me that he tried to sing this Hindi song with South Indian accent, trying to copy the voice of S. P. Balasubramaniam . No idea why he tried to do that. The female voice did not sound like Alka Yagnik by any stretch of imagination, so I checked and gathered that the voice belongs to K S Chitra.

I have an old diary where I noted down lyrics of songs that I liked those days ( in 1976). I find that many of the songs that I have written down in that diary are popular even today. On the other hand, some very popular songs of those days have been forgotten.
Here is one such forgotten song. Now a days when we are rediscovering old gems, here is my contribution towards that exercise. This song is certainly an old gem of R D Burman, which deserves to be cleaned and dusted, and put on display as one of the masterpieces of R D Burman.

Young kids growing up in India learn as much of their vocabulary from family members and friends as from Bollywood movies and songs. I learnt the meaning of “ladki pasand karna” for the first time when I heard my mother advising her brother (mama for me) to get married ( “Shaadi kar lo. Koi ladki pasand kar lo”).
As if on cue, this song ” maine ek ladki pasand kar li” started blaring on loudspeakers after a few days. And thanks to my newfound knowledge ( gained by overhearing my mother), I knew the meaning of the phrase “ladki pasand kar li”.
