Recently, I came across an audio clip of a song from ‘Mil Gayee Manzil Mujhe’ (1998), a film directed by Lekh Tandon. Online resources shows that the film was completed in 1997 but remained unreleased. The audio album of the songs was released in January 1998. I got confused as there was another film in the same title with Mithun Chakraborty and Moon Moon Sen in lead roles which was released in 1989. Things got somewhat cleared when I came across an interview of Milind Gunaji, one of the main actors of the film, which appeared on rediff.com on January 9, 1998. He said that after the completion of about 70 percent of the shooting, Lekh Tandon left the film. However, after some time, he was persuaded to complete the film which he did in December 1997. Still the film did not get released.

‘Teesra Kinaara’ (1986) is one of those films of 1980s which faded into oblivion despite having a good story and music. The film has become so obscure that it is not available for viewing on video sharing platforms. Despite my best efforts, I did not find the film on OTT platforms also. Fortunately, the video clips of a couple of songs are available besides mp3 clips of all the songs.

According to some surveys, about 90 percent of the Indian marriages are still the outcome of arranged alliances. While the parents/elders are involved in the process of the selection of alliances, the ultimate decision are supposed to be left to boys/girls. But in reality, in most cases, under the pressure from the parents/elders, the boys/girls will not go against the selection of alliance by their parents/elders.  In such cases, some newly married couples may soon realize that they are not in love with their spouses after the marriage for variety of reasons. But they continue to live together as the divorce is not a pleasant option. In some cases, over a period of time, a feeling of mutual care and trust set in the married couples.  This is broadly the main theme of the film ‘Dam Laga Ke Haisha’ (2015).

During the last eight months or so, I have been writing articles for the Blog covering songs from films mostly released on or after 2000. In my view, the selected songs are melodious with good lyrics, yet underrated. These songs have, more or less the same vibes as that of the songs of the golden period of Hindi film music. It may be a mere coincidence, but I found that most of these songs are from films which are off the mainstream Hindi films.
