Here is a drunkard song that begins with the line ‘Main nashe mein hoon”. No, this song is not the title song ( Mujhko yaaron maaf karna main nashe me hoon) of “Main Nashe Mein Hoon” (1959) sung by Mukesh. This song is from another movie that was released in the same year.

“Do Dil” (1965) is a movie starring Vishwajeet and Rajshree. Just as Shammi Kapoor movies had wonderful music composed by Shankar Jaikishan, Vishwajeet movies tended to have great music by Hemant Kumar. Of course the singing voices remained the same.

I have listened to the audio of this song many a times, and this song never fails to cheer me up. This is indeed a “feel good” song.
This song is from the movie “Jeene Ki Raah”(1969) and seeing that the title figues in the lyrics, the son can be called the title song as well as the theme song of this movie as well. This song is a get together song on the occasion of silver jubilee of a mill, where Jeetendra sings this song in the gathering. Yes this song wears so many hats !

Here is a song from “Basant Bahaar” (1956) that I may have heard in the past but without paying much attention. This time, when I got the lyrics of this song (sent by nahm), I paid close attention to the lyrics. While doing that , one cannot but help pay attention to the singing and the music as well. And while doing that, one realises that this song is an unparalled combination of sensational singing, superb lyrics and wonderful music.

When the lyrics and details of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra,I thought that he must have made a mistake as I have definitely posted this well known Rafi song in the blog. On checking, I found that I had not discussed this song, rather I had discussed the other well known song from this movie sung by Mukesh (Main dhoondhta hoon jinko ).

As bicycle songs go, this must be the ultimate bicycle song. In this song, people ,led by Johny Walker, are riding bicycles and going in a procession singing this song. I have not watched the movie, but what I can deduce from the picturisation and the lyrics is that they are raising their voices against a person in authority who is using his public office for personal gains. So such things happened in those days also. 🙂
