Heard this song 3- 4 days back on TV Rajasthani!!!!! Would you believe it I have become addicted to this channel at the 8.30 -9.00 A.M. slot. The programme is perfect to go with breakfast. It is their Bhoole Bisre Geet programme. and they have been presenting only Anil Biswas songs from the look of the last two programmes that I saw.

I have felt like writing after many days. Many reasons for the long absence. But I just had to write when I remembered this particular song. First because of the unusual pairing –Rajesh Khanna Reena Roy, second I found that this was a different Naushad song ( I do not know if he has given music to any Rajesh Khanna movie. IMDB says this is the only one) And then lastly it was very popular during my growing up years.

Recently our dear Arunkumarji had begun a new series where in he was featuring songs of those actors who are not trained singers but who have sung a line or two in some song or other in their own voice. That means basically he is showing us the image se hatke side of the actors. The song which I am writing about is also image se hatke for the actor concerned.

I am on a different thought track today. I was thinking of the approaching birthday season in my family. Thats what I call it as 3 from a family of 4 have their birthdays in the 15 day period from 23rd December to 6th January. My daughter leads the pack and son (he is the older one) brings up the rear. So I was down memory lane thinking of the time when they had just begun to walk, talk, sing or dance etc. So that put me on to the song I want to discuss today. This was a song to which my one year old daughter first shook her leg for.

I can not believe that one year has elapsed since the passing away of Dev Anand. It was a shocking news on that Saturday morning one year ago. My parents had come to visit me and dad is a huge fan of the Dev-Dilip-Raj triumvirate. I had heard this news in the early morning bulletin and conveyed it to my father who had just left for a sight seeing trip. And I conveyed the news as one would convey the bad news about any family member or relative the minute one hears of it. Such was the craze for this charming man that I shared with my dad. Mine was a case more of loving his movies and songs. I do not know exactly when I became aware of Dev Anand movies or songs. But it withered away after I saw his last movie “Censor” on TV (I suppose). After that I gave up keeping track of any Navketan Movie. Even my dad gave up on him. In fact my dad had given up on him in the 1980’s itself. But any way this is not meant to bring down the greatness or the charm of the man. Its just an out pouring of the heart.

Hi everyone !

Now we are into the 7000s in our blog. Imagine 7000 songs and various categories and various centuries later we still find songs that will fall in a new category or make a 100 for some artist or as is the new trend these days a century of a contributor.

So here I am again with another Jodi.

This Jodi gave us such a lovely time at the movies that our generation must be blessed to have been there then. And by a Jodi it need not necessarily mean a girl and a boy. It could be two girls as in Shabana Azmi –Rekha or Rekha- Moushmi Chaterjee or Shabana Azmi – Neetu Singh. Oh the list is endless or is there a definite number to such Jodis. There are also jodis of Males like Sanjeev Kumar- Shatrughan Sinha, Amitabh with Vinod Khanna as well as Mehra. Amitabh Bachchan must be one of the few actors who jelled with any hero he worked with viz. Shashi Kapoor, Dharamendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Rishi Kapoor, and with the later generation as well be it Govinda, Akshay Kumar, ShahRukh Khan , Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt etc. Ab in saari jodiyon ki baat hi kuch aur hai! What say?

A few days back on the occasion of Amitabh and Rekha’s birthday I spoke of how famous or popular or well received their pairing was in Bollywood movies. There were other such equally popular jodis. Viz. Rishi Kapoor- Neetu Singh, Vinod Mehra- Moushmi Chaterjee, Rajesh Khanna with Sharmila Tagore, Rajesh Khanna with Mumtaz, Rajesh Khanna with Asha Parekh etc in my growing up years. Actually I thought that Jaya Bhaduri never made a geat pair on screen with Amitabh, I liked her more with Sanjeev Kumar or even Jeetendra. There were popular pairing in the previous generation of stars too. But I think we have more knowledgeable people in our group to list them. Now what made a pairing popular was how well they looked together or how had their movie fared at the box office or how much recall value their songs had.

Thanks to cyclone ‘Nilam’ whole of Tamil Nadu, parts of Andhra & many parts of Karnataka are having rains for the past few days. And Bangalore has gone cold. So we are experiencing fantastic romantic (in my husband’s words) climate. Baarish bhi sardi bhi!!! Ab in such a situation I read this post by Atul and thought wow! He has posted “Rama Rama“from “Naya Zamaana” so we can have one more “rain” song. Then I saw that we have a song from “Dus Lakh” soon thereafter so I thought we really need another romantic song to celebrate the weather. So here it is from “Maan Gaye Ustaad” starring Shashi kapoor Hema Malini Pran & wonder of wonders Amjad Khan playing Hema’s long lost brother. Imagine this relationship if you remember “Sholay” & “Jab Tak Hai Jaan” (mind it I am here talking of the Sholay song not Yash Chopra’s next movie’s title, God let him rest in peace).

October seems to be the month of birthdays for all who made it a habit to entertain us. We have already celebrated Vinod Khanna’s birthday. Next was the turn of Rekha who shares her birhday with S.D.Burman. Then we have the Superstar of the millennium (as the media went overboard describing him) Amitabh Bachchan followed by the grand old man of Hindi movies Ashok Kumar who shares it with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Then the list will have Nirupa Roy (everyone’s Mom or Ashok Kumar’s heroine as you may choose to remember her). And going by the list which Atul has compiled with the list sent by our in-house encyclopedia Arunkumar Deshmukhji and lots of inputs from Khyatiji and Prakashchandraji we will be celebrating a lot of birthdays in the days to come.
