I have just realised that I have not posted even a single song from “Aankhon Aankhon Mein” (1972). When I was growing up, the songs of this movie were all over the loudspeakers and radio, and kids like me simply loved these songs.

The title of this movie called “Ek Phool Chaar Kaante” (1960) looks traditional enough, but I am only just discovering that the music of this movie was anything but the usual stuff.

“Aaya Saawan Jhoom Ke” (1969) is one movie that is largely remembered for its songs more than for anything else. At least that is true for me. The fact that I have never watched the movie certainly helps. From the picturisation of songs in this movie, I get the impression that Dharmendra does most of his singing in gatherings where he sings songs addressed to Asha Parekh.

In this blog I have posted songs that fall into various categories. These days I am finding that there are some songs of a certain (artificial) category namely “songs that I thought were already posted but I was wrong”.

I recall listening to this song in my younger days. But as was the case with me for most songs, the only thing I knew about this song was what I heard, and no more. In other words, my knowledge of this song was confined to the fact that the song was sung by Rafi. Yes, I could identify Rafi’s voice even then. But I was not aware that songs had lyricists and music directors too. I used to think that the singer did everything !

I had vaguely heard about this movie called “Ek Shrimaan Ek Shrimati” (1969) but I was not aware of this song. I heard (and watched) this song for the first time just a few hours ago.
