1960s, the golden era of Bollywood filmy songs saw hundreds of memorable songs. They drew from folk music, theatre etc. The lyrics were often shayari.
Here is a song where the lyrics and music was totally drawn from real down to earth life in UP/Bihar. In this song, people gather around a village gawaiyya, and the song being sung talks about what a small bird ( muniya) does to the stuffs of halvayi, bajaj, and panwaadi. The song is accompanied by fast paced music on harmonium and dholak that rises to a crescendo towards the end of the stanzas as well as towards the end of the song.

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.

For those who lived in India during 1960s and 1970s, and who listened to radio Ceylon every morning, 7-30 to 8 AM was the time for old songs. Most people (masses) including kids like me scoffed at these old songs and waited for 8 AM. Last song of that programme was by K L Sehgal, and we would know that the “aaphi ke geet” programme, where new songs were played was just round the corner. All over the country, listeners, including the farmaish senders from Jhumri Tilaiyya and elsewhere would start paying more attention.
There was one exception during this time slot between 7-30 to 8 AM though, and that would arrive on the first day of every new month. This was a song of Kishore Kumar that would go ” din hai suhana aj pahli tarikh hai”. Even those who could not stand old songs would approve of this song. It was the only song of that programme that no one ever found boring or grumbled against.

If one is not aware of the details of the song, one may mistake it for an O P Nayyar composition. Punjabi sounding tunes and picturised on girls wearing Punjabi dresses, and sung by Asha Bhonsle- how can it be otherwise ?
But no, this catchy and racy tune was composed by S D Burman, assisted by his son R D Burman.

Young kids growing up in India learn as much of their vocabulary from family members and friends as from Bollywood movies and songs. I learnt the meaning of “ladki pasand karna” for the first time when I heard my mother advising her brother (mama for me) to get married ( “Shaadi kar lo. Koi ladki pasand kar lo”).
As if on cue, this song ” maine ek ladki pasand kar li” started blaring on loudspeakers after a few days. And thanks to my newfound knowledge ( gained by overhearing my mother), I knew the meaning of the phrase “ladki pasand kar li”.

It is a joyous song that would cheer everyone up. How joyfully Rafi has sung this song ! We have seen some joyful Rafi songs in the past. This song is different from them all.
It is mind boggling to realise that there could be so many shades of joys, and that one could express one’s joy in so many different ways. The same lyricist has written songs of joy, but he does ot repeat his ideas from other songs of similar nature. It is amazing to realise that the same lyricst could come up with so many different songs for seemingly similar situations and make them look different.

Simple plain words can sometimes create good lyrics. And Gulzar was one lyricist who could create magical lyrics out of simple words, and here is a wonderful example of his lyrical wizardry. Follow the lyrics carefully, and one notices how well they express the feelings of joy that the lady is experiencing.
Lata has sung this song with some passion, and R D Burman has suitably tempered the exuberance of his music.

This was a song from a run of the mill movie starring Shashi Kapoor and Mumtaz. But before one knew, this song caught the imagination of the whole nation and the subcontinent.
Though this is supposed to be a light hearted wedding song, it has become much more than that. With suitable modification, it is used by people in the subcontinent for many occasions.

A cute song from 1973. Rekha, a raw teenager was an ugly duckling and an immature youngster at that time,who was not expected to go very far in Bollywood. She would later turn over a new leaf in 1978. But that was far off in the future. This movie was only her third movie, and here she was paired with a leading actor for the first time. Her earlier two heroes were debutants Navin Nischol and Randheer Kapoor.

A mast mast song from 1970s, that had everyone dancing on their feet. The song is great, sung wonderfully by Kishore and Lata,and it has a characteristic foot tapping music by R D Burman. It was filmed on the reigning heart throbs Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz.And let us not forget the lyrics. It is the lyrics of Anand Bakshi, so simple, so effective, and so easy to sing that has made this song one of the perennial favourites for most Bollywood music lovers.
