This song is a very well known song. In fact it is an iconic song. All these days I thought that I had already discussed this song, but surprise, surprise, this song had eluded discussion in this blog all these days. Obviously I had discussed this song in my other blog and not here.

Kyaa mil gayaa Bhagwaan tumhe dil ko dukhaa ke
Posted by: Atul on: September 11, 2010
In Hindi movies, actors do not remember God when the going is good. At that time they are busy running around the trees singing romantic songs, but as soon as the good times end, the characters (especially female characters) would suddenly remember God and she will start singing a Bhajan. In some cases, when the lady feels especially short changed, she will not even bother to sing a Bhajan, rather she would accuse God of being harsh on her.

The story of Kishore Kumar’s rebirth with the songs of Aradhana in 1969 is fairly well-documented. If Rajesh Khanna’s tsunami swept all before it in the world of acting, Kishore Kumar’s voice was its
equal in the world of music.

Kismat banaane waale zaraa saamne to aa
Posted by: Atul on: August 30, 2010
I have noticed that songs are used as short cuts to the solution of all problems in Hindi movies. Whenever the movie maker is running short of ideas, he would introduce a song. If the characters in the movie are running out of ideas, they will burst into a song. This is in addition to the standard situations for songs in a movie, viz romantic song, sad song, happy song etc.

Bol mere maalik teraa kyaa yahi hai insaaf
Posted by: Atul on: August 2, 2010
In Hindi movies, singing is used almost as a panacea for all problems. Sing a song, and your problems seem to ge solved. There are in fact songs in which the Almighty is called upon to respond, and the Almighty too bows down before the power of a Hindi movie bhajan.
