It has been pointed out by my readers that the song “Ramaiyya vasta vaiyya” from “Shree 420” (1955) is missing from the blog.

This song was almost edited out of the movie by its producer Vijay Bhatt who thought that this song, showing Hindu festival of Janmashtami had no place in this movie, but he was convinced by others that Akbar’s wife Jodhabai was a Hindu and so showing this song made sense.
