In case one wants to learn driving from a driving school, the trainer takes the beginner on the road and gives him hands on training.

In this case, I S Jauhar wants to learn the art of impressing the fair sex. His trainer, Joy Mukherjee, like a driving trainer, takes him on the road and gives him theoretical as well as practical training.

This movie “Manzil” was one of the unsuccessful movies of Amitabh Bachchan, but this one song from this movie, viz “Rimjhim gire saawan” has become the stuff of legends already. It is one of the first songs that comes to mind when one thinks of rain songs.

Though 1970 was a decade when action movies had begun to dominate, there were small time movie makers who produced small budget family entertainers sans fights and action. Rajshri Productions, the Basus ( Basu Bhattacharya and Chatterji), Hrishikesh Mukherji and some South India producers were the ones who produced such movies.

Though these movies lacked stars most of the time, but the music in these movies was of a high quality. Such movies and their music created their own niche market.

Here is a very catchy song from a by now forgotten movie called “Banphool”. Kishore Kumar sang this song with gusto. Lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi and the music was a typically racy Laxmikant Pyarelal tune.

How do I classify this song ? There are a few songs in this blog that I call “car songs” because they were sung while riding a car. Here the hero Jeetendra sings this song riding an elephant. 😉

I can barely believe that this song is 60 years old, and that it was regarded as an old song even during my childhood. But just listening to this song even today makes me feel like I am getting a breath of fresh air.

This song is magic, an iconic song among iconic songs. It is from that perennial favourite “Barsaat”. I wonder how many great songs this movie had. I have given up counting them. Shankar Jaikishan was the music director and Lata the singer. And what about the lyricist who penned this memorable song ? It was someone called Ramesh Shastri. Kudos to him for writing this much loved, much sung and much copied lyrics.

This is one of the iconic songs of the days when I was growing up as a young impressionable kid. This song was everywhere in 1970, blaring out from loudspeakers as well as radios.

As with most popular songs of those days, this song had appealed to all just on the merit of the audio. People like me had no idea which movie this song was from and how it was picturised. Laxmikant Pyarelal’s music and Anand Bakshi’s lyrics, along with Lata’s voice were all we needed to enjoy this song.

Here is a nice song from a 1980 small budget movie called “Ek baar phir”. Most people involved in this song were relatively small time artists. An upcoming Anuradha Paudwal of pre T-series vintage was the female voice and the male voice was Bhupinder Singh, who was around for two decades but barely got to sing in too many movies. The lyricist was a little known Vinod Pande and the music director was an equally out of work Raghunath Seth.

Rajesh Khanna on screen and Kishore Kumar giving playback on the composition of Laxmikant Pyarelal- it was a recipe for some memorable bollywood movie songs. In addition, this recipe also has Mumtaz singing in the voice of Lata.

This blog has many songs sung with great enthusiasm by male singers. Here is a song sung with equal joie de vivre by a female singer. The singer is Asha Bhonsle and the dancer is Mumtaz. It is s killer combination. The movie is “Loafer” starring Dharmendra. This movie had many nice songs, and this song was perhaps the most suitable for those ladies who looked for a song to dance.

This song, which was almost forgotten by the new generation, got a new lease of life in 1980s when this song was included in a scene in “Andhaa Kanoon” where Rajnikant outsmarts his police inspector sister Hema Malini, when the latter tries to record his confessions to crimes in a hidden tape recorder. Unknown to her, Rajnikant ensures that the song “april fool banaya” replaces his confession in the tape. The finer details of how Rajnikant did that, unnoticed to everyone are not known to us mortals. Ranjikant could move faster than light, and so the detailed technical geek work involved in this may have totally eluded our limited sensory organs.
