The song in this post is a nice composition, albeit a lesser heard song that has been forgotten alongwith its movie which had failed at the box office. This movie is ‘Jaan E Jaan’ or ‘Nikammaa’. This movie was launched in the mid-seventies with the title ‘Nikammaa’, but it got delayed and after completion it was finally released in the year 1983 with the title ‘Jaan E Jaan’. If one watches the movie for first fifteen minutes one can find why it was titled as ‘Nikammaa’ earlier, because its hero Raju, in-spite of being graduate doesn’t have any job and even if somebody recommends him for a job he loses it because he is naive and a simpleton(read stupid).

(Birthday – Music Composer-Rajesh Roshan)

Today 24th May 2025 is the seventieth birthday of music director-lyricist Rajesh Roshan(born on 24.05.1955). His music composed for Hindi movies is part of growing years of people like me who were born in late sixties or early seventies. Many of his compositions have been pure nostalgia for me and same might be the case for many people like me. Rajesh Roshan has carved a niche for himself in the history of Hindi Film Music. There is a long list of his compositions that I like very much, and as and when possible I have also shared such songs on this blog.
