“Waqt” (1965) was a path breaking movie in more ways than one. For one, it was a multistarrer movie, one decade before this term came into circulation. Secondly, it was the movie that set the rules for lost and found movies which became the norm one decade later. In brief, “Waqt” (1965) inspired movie makers like G P Sippy (Sholay, Shaan) as well as Manmohan Desai (Amar Akbar Anthony).

Though I have discussed over three thousands songs in this blog already, there are still a large number of great songs that are yet to be discussed. The long list of readers’ farmaish gives us a good indication of just how many great songs are yet to be covered. There are so many great songs still to be discussed, but there is only so much time in a day, that one can devote to their discussion.

Dukh bhare din beete re bhaiyya
Posted on: October 2, 2010
I always thought that the song “dukh bhare din beete re bhaiyya” from “Mother India” (1957) was a brief song, almost an afterthought. I do not know how I came to believe that. Perhaps I may have watched a brief portion of this song when I watched this movie (some 25 years after the movie was released) or perhaps because I have not heard this song in detail in the past.

Bheegi bheegi fazaa

This song starts with a car moving in a road, with four people sitting in it. Good, so it is a car song, I think.
But for the rest of the song, the car remains parked. The four of them have come for a picnic. We see Shashikala, holding a picnic basket in one hand, singing this song, to no one is particular. Others have assembled there for picnic, but she seems to have gone there to sing this song. 😀 I see that her colleagues include Dharmendra, but he keeps a low profile throughout this song.

It has been one of those big mysteries of Bollywood which I have not been able to fathom yet. Just why did Kala Patthar not become one of the biggest block-busters of all times! Heck, it is not even among the top 50 grossers of 1970’s (it was released in 1979)

There are people who preach us to save for a rainy day. If you talk to me about saving for a rainy day,I will reel off the list of songs picturised on a rainy day to try and prove that rainy days are as much fun as sunny days. If one does not save for a sunny day, then why should one do so for a rainy day ? One should instead enjoy rainy days by getting drenched in the rain instead of hiding indoors. Next thing you know, the same people may ask us to save for a moonlit night saying that nights are for going to bed !

Shankar of Shankar Jaikishan promoted Sharda in a big way and this led to considerably difference of opinion between the duo. Sharda had an unconventional voice and she obviously was limited in her range compared to say Lata who was the female singer of choice by default for them till then.
