Muqaddar aajmaanaa chaahtaa hoon

I have heard the “better known” songs from “Door Ki Aawaaz” (1964) but that is not saying much, since this movie apparently had many more great songs than what met my eyes (and ears) till now. I see that Raja had given me a farmaish for two songs from this movie that I had never herad before.

I am aware of the more popular songs from this movie, but I had never heard this song from “Chori Chori” (1956) !

In Bollywood movies, most songs are picturised on lead actors, but sometimes songs are picturised on bit actors playing beggars/ mandicants/ sadhus etc who would be shown singing a philosophical song as a leading lady would be shown suffering. This song is one such song. The lady (who is she !) finds her helpless and she is seen arriving at a temple as a last resort, where this song is sung.

This song is a special song in more ways than one. This is a song that should have been extremely well known song. Instead this song is largely unknown, not only to the younger generation, but even to those who lived in the era when this song and its movie was released.

“Waapas”(1969) is a movie that had unknown actors in it and the movie sank without a trace. Those were the days when the Indian movie audience were too immature and simplistic in their choices and any movie even slightly off the mainstream track tended to flounder badly.

Jab dil se dil takraataa hai

In movies, only the young and beautiful (read hero and heroine) are seen romancing, which to my mind is not fair. even old and ugly people also have the right to romance. So I always rejoice when villains, comedians and bit actors are shown romancing in movie songs.

Main pyaar kaa deewaanaa

“Aayi Milan Ki Bela” (1964) is a movie that to my mind was carried on the back of its lilting music. I do not think that people would have gone to watch this movie for Rajendra Kumar’s histrionics, if the movie did not have its awesome music.

It may sound strange but it is true. Some of the finest music of O P Nayyar has been composed for movies where Johny Walker was the hero. I have posted a few such songs already and I keep stumbling upon more such songs regularly.

I have recently discovered a movie called “Jawaani Ki Hawaa” (1959). This by now forgotten movie had music by Ravi.
