My memories of Sharmilee (1971) are associated with my seeing this movie on my first-ever visit to Mumbai (then Bombay) in 1972. I have described some of my experiences of that visit on the post relating to the song “khilte hain gul yahaan”.

“Boot Polish” (1953) was a movie based on the plights of orphan. Considering the subject, this movie was bound to have melodrama is it and that is why I am not sure that I would like to watch this movie.

While posting songs from the golden era of Bollywood movies, I have tended to concentrate more on the songs of 1950s and 1960s, even though I grew up with songs of 1970s. Just like we these days lament about the quality of Bollywood movie songs today and cite old Bollywood movie songs as the epitome of quality, the same lament was heard even in 1970s. Even I was under the impression that the quality of music in 1970s was not what it was in the earlier years. Now of course I can have a hearty laugh at my own expense with the benefit of hindsight.

“Sehraa” (1963) is a movie that has some memorable songs in it. I was under the impression that I had already posted this song, but I was mistaken. Now that I have realised it, it is time for me to make amends and post it.

I have posted several songs from “Mr and Mrs 55” (1955) but I was not aware that this song was from that movie. Somehow this song to my mind did not belong to this movie.

I have posted several songs from “Alif Laila” (1953) in this blog. Here is the song from this movie which gets played as the movie is coming to a close. I categorise such songs as “movie ending songs” and we often have some really memorable songs like that.

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.
