Daamad (1978) remains to this day, a comedy movie which I place on par with Padosan (1968), Half Ticket (1964), Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2000), etc. The comic timing shown by all the characters, specifically Amol Palekar and Ashok Saraf, is simply brilliant.

Daamad starred Amol Palekar, Ranjeeta, Ashok Saraf, Shreeram Lagoo, Keshto Mukherjee, Preeti Ganguli, etc

Today, the 12th of July is the 70th birthday of Sulakshana Pandit, one of the most underrated and unlucky actor/playback singer of the 1970s and 1980s. I have discussed her brief bio in one of my earlier posts here.

For readers who are interested in knowing more about her and also how she is doing today, can watch her video interview here and also a short video by her younger brother, the famous Jatin Pandit (part of the composer duo Jatin Lalit) here.

Today, the 3rd of July is the 72nd birthday of Amit Kumar Ganguly, popularly known as Amit Kumar. Amit Kumar is the son of Kishore Kumar and Ruma Ganguly. Like his father, Amit started singing from an early age and he used to sing at Durga Pooja festivals in Calcutta. At one such function arranged by Bengali actor “Mahanayak” Uttam Kumar, the audience continued requesting encores. While his mother complained that he was singing “filmy” songs, his father decided to bring him to Bombay.

Three posts in three days! That’s the upside of being restricted to bed. Yes, you have heard it right – I have been restricted to being on bed or a recliner following a major reconstructive orthopaedic surgery to both my feet last week.

So, the current routine is to get up in the morning, and after having a cup of tea, sit down on the recliner with both my feet up in the air, and write a post on some of the rare hindi film songs which have made a place in my heart. These rare songs give me the maximum pleasure and help in alleviating my neuropathic pain to some extent.

It so happens that you have a song in your playlist which you enjoy for the fast pace at which it plays. You start an invisible dance to its beats and shake your legs to its amazing music.

One such song is today’s song which I present to you all. The song is from a 1973 movie Rickshawala, which is a remake of a Tamil movie “Rickshawkaran”, which starred the superstar of Tamil Cinema M G Ramachandran. Rickshawkaran was released on 29 May 1971. It was a major commercial success, with a theatrical run of over 100 days. MGR was awarded the National Film Award for Best Actor for this movie.

There are certain songs which leave a deep impression on your young mind. Some may leave a wonderful feeling or a bitter one, an emotional one or a physical one, etc. This song reminds me of a very dear friend who was also my classmate during my formative years (Intermediate and Bachelor’s degree).

This friend, we shall call him Sanjay, had a very strong liking to Kishore Kumar songs, while I had a strong affinity to the songs sung by Mohd Rafi saab. Similarly, he liked R D Burman’s compositions while I loved Laxmikant Pyarelal’s compositions. He had a special liking for tall, dark and handsome actors (Amitabh/Mithun C/Mahendra Sandhu/etc) while I preferred Fair skinned handsome heroes (Shashi/Rishi Kapoors/etc). But the competitive spirit never came in the way of our friendship. We used to be always together in anything and everything. We had a hell of a friendship going on for 5 years.
