“Adhikaar” (1954) is a movie that is ahead of its time. And as far as its music is concerned, it is timeless as I have been discovering. The movie has several songs of different genre and all these songs are gems.

“Kabhi Kabhi” (1976) is a movie whose music was quite unlike the music prevalent in Hindi movies at that time. The music of this movie had a retro feel about it and music lovers liked that. The songs of this movie became popular and they in fact have outlived most songs of that era.

Songs play a very important role in the overall experience of a movie goer. Normally it takes a while before the first song kicks in. But there are occasions when the movie begins with a song. Credits are rolling in and a song is playing in the background. As the credit ends, so does the song, and the story begins in the right earnest.

It is difficult to imagine how Mukesh (of dard bhare naghme fame) would sound on Mehmood (known for loud comedy). Well, stereotyping aside,we actually have instances of Mukesh singing for Mehmood.

If you want to calm your nerves by listening to music then it is often a good idea to listen to a song sung by Kavi Pradeep. He was mainly a poet, but he also sang a few songs and most of these songs went on to become immortal songs.

When it comes to a movie called “Albelaa”, there have been two movies of this name. “Albelaa” (1952) , which had Bhagwan and Geeta Bali in lead roles was a mega hit. This movie was a musical blockbuster too. Another movie of the same name was released in 1971. This movie, which was produced by Mehmood was not a success at the box office, but this movie had some very nice songs in it. I have already posted one lovely song-Devta maanaa aur pooja teri tasweer ko (Albelaa) – from this movie.
