Here is another fun song from the film “Minister”. Two months ago the post another song “Aji Biwi ko ghar pe bitthla ke” from this film appeared in the blog. The song I am discussing now will be the third song from this film. This is a “telephone song” sung by Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle. Music is by Madan Mohan and Lyricist is Rajendra Krishan. Unfortunately, I dont recognise the two actors who are lip synching this song. The song is funny enough, just like “mere piyaa gaye rangoon”. Bhagwaan Dada is seen only briefly during the song.

Here is a less known song from an obscure movie, though the movie itself is not all that old. The movie is “Juaari” (1968). The song is sung by three female singers and picturised on thee actresses. The singers are Suman Kalyanpur,Mubarak Begam and Krishna Bose. The song is a phone song in which three actresses are shown singing this song on phone to Shashi Kapoor, who apparently plays the love interest of all these ladies. The actresses are Naaz, Nanda and Tanuja.

Telephones may be ubiquitous and affordable these days, but they were regarded as a luxury item in India till just two decades back. Getting a telephone connection took as long as getting a ration card or a gas connection in India of yesteryears.

“Sujata” (1959) was a sad movie, from whatever little I have gathered about it. I have not been able to watch it ( I cannot stand sad movies) but its music is a different matter altogether. S D Burman created some immortal music in this movie.

Here is yet another song that I had never heard before. And when I heard it, I was amazed how such songs should have been lost to the fans of bollywood music fans. Now thanks to internet and services like youtube, many such songs are coming to the notice of fans once again.
