Archive for the ‘Kishore Kumar songs’ Category


One of the major reasons behind the success of Rajesh Khanna movies during his superstar days was their lilting music. What amazing songs these movies had. Rajesh Khanna’s superstar days are long gone and even Rajesh Khanna is no longer among us but the music of those songs continue to remain alive in memory.

Imagine that you reached someplace where a song is playing, probably on a radio. But unfortunately it seems you have missed almost the entire song. What you hear as you get into listening range is just the last one or two lines playing. The words you hear do not seem to be part of the main song lyrics.

“Aakraman” (1975) was a title that came as a surprise to me. Those were the days when Hindi movies did not have titles in Textbook Hindi. “Aakraman” is Hindi/ Sanskrit for “Attack”. The tendency for movie makers those days was the use a word like “Hamla” instead of “Aakraman”, even though it was a word of normal usage in Hindi textbooks. That way one needs to give some credit to the makers of this movie that he used a Hindi title for a Hindi movie.
