Where was this song lying all these days ? I thought I knew all about Madan Mohan songs, considering that I have posted over 100 of his songs and I have heard nearly 300 of his songs (out of 700). But I was humbled to realise that I am still unaware about many of his gems.

Here is a lovely song from a mythological movie called “Veer Bhimsen”. As the name suggests, this movie was from the epic “Mahabharat”, and considering that it was about Bhim, one can guess that Dara Singh must have played the title role. Yes, that is correct. This movie had Dara Singh, Randhawa, Mumtaz, Mahipal, Anita Guha etc in this movie.

For those who are into trivia, here is an interesting bit of information. Hemant Kumar sang just four songs under the music direction of Shankar Jaikishan. All these songs were sung in 1953 and 1954. One of these songs was in “Shikast” (1953)- “Ham kathputle kaath ke” and another was in “Patita” (1953)-“Yaad kiyaa dil ne kahaan ho tum”. These songs are already posted in this blog.

This song was a popular song during its time. When I listened to it, I thought that R D Burman was the music director. It was only much later that I realised that the music director was not R D Burman , but a newcomer called Bappi Lahiri. Yes, Bappi Lahiri was creating great impression in the minds of music lovers. He had created some nice music in “Zakhmee” (1975), his debut music and then in “Chalte Chalte” (1976).

“Miss Coca Cola” (1955) is a movie where Shammi Kapoor and Geeta Bali, who later on went on to get married, were paired together. Unfortunately, no prints of this movie are apparently available, so we have little idea of how the duo fared in this movie.

Rajesh Khanna made his debut in “Aakhri Khat” (1966). This was a black and white movie, and this movie could well be described as a classic. This must be one of the few movies that could be called a movie with an original and different plot. At least I hope that this movie is an original and not inspired by some other movie.
