This is the last song from the film Ajanabee. This is one of the lesser known songs from this movie. From its sound it hardly seems to be from Pancham except at times during the interludes. A common situation in Indian films for songs is where the lovers reach a village or a tribal camp on one of their rendezvous. Once there, they are persuaded by the locals to participate in their dance and song item. Sometimes the pair starts imagining themselves in the situation of the leading pair singing and dancing.

Rains have always provided a nice frame for romance and thus in Indian films we find many rain or monsoon songs. There are rain songs, where the lovers meet, there are rain songs, where one lover is pining for his/her partner or rain songs which celebrates the coming of rain after a long dry season. The latter being less romantic and more practical.

This is the last song of Doosri Sita (1974). Quite interesting to see that the film has basically only three songs. Since one of them has three versions, a person watching the film would have the effect of listening to five songs.

The failure of Doosri Sita(1974) at the box-office resulted in the disappearance of the good musical score of this film from the collective memory. My favourite from this film is this highly melancholic background song.

“Doosri Sita” got released in 1974 and sank without a trace, taking with it the musical score. Only in the course of R D Burman revival, did the songs resurface again. I remember listening to them on radio in the late 70s and early 80s on Vividh Bharati. The name Doosri Sita, though never really registered itself in my mind.

Manoranjan (1974), Shammi Kapoor’s first film as a director, seems to have only four songs. That is a bit surprising for me. I’d expected it to have more. So this could be the last song to come in from this film.

Manoranjan (1974) was Shammi Kapoor’s first film as a director. He roped in R D Burman the reigning music director of that time to give music to his debut film as a director. Shammi Kapoor had in fact given Pancham his first biggest hit with Teesri Manzil (1966). But unfortunately Manoranjan flopped. The songs of this film were hits all the same.

While Padosan (1968) is much more famous for its funny songs and “mere saamnewali khidki mein”, it has more to it than that. This Kishore Kumar solo for example often gets forgotten when people talk of the songs from this film.

This is my favourite comic song from Padosan (1968). It is simple and still so funny.

This is Lata’s second solo number in the film Padosan (1968). It is interesting to note that there are no male-female duets in the film. The hero and heroine do not get any chance to sing with each other. No, not even across the street from their respective windows.
