This movie “Brahmachari” reminds me so much of “Mr. India”, or rather, “Mr. India” should remind me of “Brahmachari” considering that “Brahmachari” was released two decades earlier.

Chale thhe saath milkar

To this date, I have not been able to understand how Shashi Kapoor survived for so long as a hero. I have noticed that most of his sucessful movies succeeded because he figured in multi starrers, where other stars carried the movie on their shoulders. And on the few occasions where Shashi Kapoor was the solo hero, the movie succeeded because of the music rather than because of Shashi Kapoor’s great histrionics. Do not tell me that “chor Machaaye shor”, for instance owes its success to Shashi Kapoor, and not to its music.

Jo unki tamanna hai barbaad hoja

This particular song is one that is a much liked song, but I doubt if too many people would be able to explain why they like this song. True, Rafi’s voice is as divine as ever, and Laxmikant Pyarelal’s music is always great, but how many of them are able to understand the lyrics ? Personally, I have little idea what the lyrics mean.

Ham bhi agar bachche hote

Here is a song that is a perenniel favourite of kids and grown ups both. The song is very well known but few people can tell which movie this song was from. Even I keep forgetting, but it is good that my farmaish senders make my task easier by mentioning the name of the movie with their farmaishes.

This is a song where the genius of Kaifi Azmi can be seen in his ability to express complex, complicated and involved feelings in a very coherent and understandable manner. The situation is one where India ( a peace loving country that had no time and inclination for a war) was attacked by China in 1962, and as happens with those unprepared, untrained and unequipped, the Indian soldiers found themselves as sitting ducks on the front.
