“Sant Gyaneshwar” was a C grade small budget Bollywood, the likes of which routinely go into oblivion unnoticed. But the music of this movie elevated the movie so much that one of its songs went on to become a bhajan, as well a prayer in schools, homes, etc.

“Haqeeqat” (1964) was not just a good movie on a different subject, it was a musical blockbuster too.

Haay re tere chanchal nainwa

“Oonche log” (1965), not to be confused with “Oonche log” (1985) was an interesting movie which had no role for females. The supposed leading lady of the movie hardly had any role or dialogues in the movie. I cannot understand the reason behind such misogyny on the part of the makers of this movie.

Mujhe yaad karne waale

I had never heard this song. When I listened to it for the first time yesterday, I almost felt like I was listening to a haunting song from “Mera Saaya” or “Woh Kaun Thi”. This song is indeed a Lata-Madan Mohan masterclass, but it is not from the aforementioned movies. This song is from a movie called “Rishte Naate” and as it happened so often in movies with Madan Mohan as the music director, this movie failed at the box office.

While posting another Lata song from this movie, I had commented that “Mera Saaya” had as many as four immortal Lata songs. After posting “naino me badra chaaye”, I now post the title song from this movie viz “tu jahan jahan rahega mera saaya saath hoga”.

Kashmir ki kali hoon main
Posted on: December 27, 2008
Till recently I thought that this song “Kashmir ki kali hoon main” was the title song of “Kashmir ki kali”. Only when I began to research this song that I realised my ignorance. It is indeed a Shammi Kapoor song, but from “Junglee” and its music was by Shankar Jaikishan (“Kashmir ki kali” had its music by O P Nayyar).

I could call it a bathroom song, because the lady is actually taking bath in this song. But the technical problem is, she is taking bath not inside the bathroom, but in the open, and some people may say she is actually swimming. But more like she is frolicking in water to her heart’s content. So I have decided to call it a waterfall song instead.
