Maanjhi meri qismat ke

Here is a lovely “maanjhi”(boatman) song with a difference. The song is very much a boat song, in the sense that Asha Parekh, looking young and pretty, is standing on a boat in a river and singer this song. And she is singing about “maanjhi”, but here “maanjhi” does not mean the boatman, but it means the man who will steer her destiny. Yes, she is singing this song about her beloved (Sunil Dutt).

In fact, many well known songs are yet to figure in this blog. Hopefully, with time, all the missing songs will also appear here.

As a result, the movie ended up as a big grosser.

When one listens to the songs of the golden era, one realises that the overall quality of the songs was quite high. Not just the big name music directors, even small time music directors were creating quality stuff. The only difference between big names and small names was marketability, otherwise qualitywise, even music directors confined to B and C grade movies were just as good as the A grade music directors.

Most nice songs usually become popular. Or is it really so ? There is much legwork involved before the songs of a movie can become popular. The movie, as well as its songs need to arouse the curiosity of public before their release. For that the movie and its songs need to be marketed. In case the movie has saleable stars and the movie is made by a well known production house with deep pockets, then the songs of that movie stand a good chance of being heard.
