This is a song that I never heard before. For that matter I never heard the name of the movie “School Master” (1959) either.

Many people, including me, cannot make out what this song is all about by reading the lyrics. But once the song begins to play, it is quite a magical experience.

Aap mujhe achche lagne lage

“Aap mujhe acche lagne lage” is a very nice song sung by Lata. But as happens with me for many songs, I was not aware which movie this song was from. When I googled, I was flooded with details of a 2002 movie titled “aap mujhe ache lagne lage”. What blasphemy ! This new movie has not only used the title of this Lata classic, this movie has even hijacked this phrase, and finding out the details of the Lata song has become a tall order.

“Seema” (1955) is a movie that launched Nutan’s career as a tragedy queen. I am sure Nutan may not have bargained for a career as a tragedy queen when she began her Bollywood career in early 1950s after becoming the first ever filmfare Miss India. Yes, Nutan won the Miss India award in 1952 in its inaugural edition.

“Chaandni” was like a welcome musical oasis among the desert of plagiarised disco music in 1980s. And the fact that the music directors of this movie, shiv Hari had worked with legendary music directors of the golden era of Bollywood music certainly helped.

“Nai Dilli” (1956) was a movie starring Kishore Kumar and Vyjyanti Mala. This movie to my mind was a landmark movie in my mind because one could see the New Delhi of that time and amuse oneself by comparing that with the present day New Delhi. Many present day landmarks of New Delhi were non existent or looked very different those days.
