Jo unki tamanna hai barbaad hoja

This particular song is one that is a much liked song, but I doubt if too many people would be able to explain why they like this song. True, Rafi’s voice is as divine as ever, and Laxmikant Pyarelal’s music is always great, but how many of them are able to understand the lyrics ? Personally, I have little idea what the lyrics mean.

Jodi hamaari jamega kaise jaani

This song from “Aulaad” is a long standing farmaish of Raja, but all these days I had been hampered from posting it because its video is not available. After searching for its video and drawing a blank, I took its audio clip and I decided to present this song with the picture of Chitragupta, the music director of this movie and indeed of this song.

This “Chori Chori” sung is an ultimate “Chaayageet” song, full with words like “raat”, “chaand”, “fizaa” etc. And this is a movie of Raj Kapoor-Nargis era too.

Aane waala pal jaanewala hai

“Golmaal” was a light hearted movie, and I doubt that its songs were planned to be of anything more than timepass nature. But trust the Gulzar-R D Burman combination to take their jobs so seriously that they came up with this song in a timepass situation which went on to become an evergreen composition. In fact, for a long time, I used to wonder why people take this song so seriously. Finally I have shrugged my shoulders and reconciled myself to the fact that this song must be treated as a serious classic song.

Most of the songs posted in this blog are well known for me as well for my readers. But sometimes, I come across songs which either I or my readers may be totally unfamiliar with. I have, for instance, come across some forgotten gems from some forgotten Bollywood movies which I had never heard before.

Mujhe yaad karne waale
Posted on: January 1, 2009
I had never heard this song. When I listened to it for the first time yesterday, I almost felt like I was listening to a haunting song from “Mera Saaya” or “Woh Kaun Thi”. This song is indeed a Lata-Madan Mohan masterclass, but it is not from the aforementioned movies. This song is from a movie called “Rishte Naate” and as it happened so often in movies with Madan Mohan as the music director, this movie failed at the box office.

If one wants to watch a more genteel version of teasing songs than Shammi Kapoor vintage, then one need not go to songs that were sung twenty years earlier. One can go and listen to songs from a contemporary movie called “twenty years later” viz “bees saal baad”.

Meena Kumari is typecast in many people’s mind as a tragedy queen, but there were days when she used to play happy bubbly roles. For instance, I have watched her in “Miss Mary” and how cute and pretty she looks in that movie playing a normal female possessing a sense of humour. How dearly I would love to see her in similar roles.

O raat ke musaafir

I have watched the movie “Miss Mary” and I loved the movie. In fact, I liked its songs as well. The situation under which ths song is sung is quite a romantic situation. Gemini Ganeshan and Meena Kumari are posing as a married couple for the sake of their job,and their employer,Raybahadur feels that they are not spending enough time together as befits a married couple, so locks them up in their bedroom.

This is a song from Didi (1959) and what a song it is ! It is sung by a female voice other than the usual names. It is Sudha Malhotra who has sung this song. Not just singing, she was also the music director of this song. Lyrics were written by Sahir Ludhianvi.
