Like any young pre teen kid growing up in late 1960s and early 1970s, I was learning new things every day. I would listen to songs blaring from loudspeakers and from radios. It was one fine evening in 1960s that I heard a song coming out from the radio. I had never heard this song before, and I loved the song instantly and unconditionally, as kids tend to do.

In olden days, most Hindi movie going population used to be quite simple and naive. Give them the usual song and dance and they went back home happy. But if you gave them anthing different, they they would be out of their depth and fail to turn up to watch such movies. So I am not suprised that movies made on nonmainstream themes failed to attract audiences, even when they won critical acclaim and even Government awards.

I came across this song a few hours ago. And I wondered where this song was hiding all these days from my view.
This is a nice club/part dance song from “Parvarish” (1958). The song is sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and the delightful music is composed by Dattaram.

“Manchali” (1971) is a movie that is indelibly etched in my mind mainly because of its title song O manchali kahan chali(Manchali)(1973). This song appeared to me to be playing in Binaca geetlmala all the time, though this song did not figure in the final. This movie also had the wonderful song Gham ka fasaana ban gaya achcha(Manchali)(1973) in it. The naughty song Tan man dhan sab hai tera(Manchali)(1973) is also in this movie.

Here is a Helen song with a difference.In this song, Helen is not performing a cabarat or even a mujra. Rather she is emoting like a “normal” actress. Yes, Helen had a big enough role in this movie called “Kahin Din Kahin Raat” (1968).

I have listened to the audio of this song many a times, and this song never fails to cheer me up. This is indeed a “feel good” song.
This song is from the movie “Jeene Ki Raah”(1969) and seeing that the title figues in the lyrics, the son can be called the title song as well as the theme song of this movie as well. This song is a get together song on the occasion of silver jubilee of a mill, where Jeetendra sings this song in the gathering. Yes this song wears so many hats !

“Anita”(1967) is a movie starring Manoj Kumar and Sadhana. it was the third part of a trilogy of mystery woman movie that Raj Khosla made. The other two being Wo Kaun Thi and Mera Saayaa. But much has changed by 1967 when this movie was released. But much had changed in all these years. Sadhana, who looked so pretty and stunning with a glowing face, had lost much of her facial glow and charm following some illness. This movie, to the best of my knowledge, was not as much of a success as the other two movies.
