When you are young, you only like to listen to “modern” songs and hate listening to old songs calling them boring. Here is a song that was old even by my standards of 1970s when I was growing up. But show me a song that could be more modern than this by now 51 year old song.

I have mentioned it many times that Chitragupta, despite his outstanding musical talent would not go out and socialise with big wigs of the industry and that is what prevented him from landing big banner movies. For instance, the first time he was introduced to raj Kapoor was in late 1980s by his sons Anand and Milind, and on meeting him, Raj Kapoor said that he was a big fan of Chitragupta and he would have loved to work with Chitragupta had he met him in their heydays.

There are few actors in Hindi cinema of yesteryear who evoke as much passion in film-lovers as Shammi Kapoor.

Shikari (1963) was a B-movie, starring Ajit and Ragini. I had the pleasure of watching it a few months ago and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a typical jungle adventure story with the necessary ingredients of tigers, gorillas and such. This may not be to everybody’s taste but I do enjoy such movies, even at this age. 😉

I have mentioned it that this blog has songs from nearly 1000 Hindi movies as of now. The list of moviewise songs that I have provided gives us a good idea of the songs that have been posted. With time, I have posted all the songs from some movies- viz “Barsaat”(1949), “Dholak”(1950), “Madhumati” (1958) etc. In case of other movies, I am gradually building up the list song by song.

In the picturisation of this song, Dharmendra has just realised that Hema Malini is in love with him. Having made this discovery, Dharmendra jumps up and down all over the place, singing this joyous song, and Hema Malini is naturally embarrased at this public display of Dharmendra’s love for her.

When I was growing up in the early 70s, Kishore was easily the dominant male voice in Bollywood. He was everywhere and with every new movie he seemed to only deliver more hits.
