I have posted as many as seven songs from “Kashmir Ki Kali” (1964) and one may be excused for assuming that there may not be any more songs left to be posted from this movie. But then one would underestimate the calibre of music directors of those era, if one made such an assumption.

I have not kept a count of it, but I think I have posted songs from most Shammi Kapoor movies in this blog. Considering that Shammi Kapoor came into his own in 1957 with “Tumsa Nahin Dekhaa” (1957) and continued till late 1960s with the kind of movies with he is identified, he may have worked in about 20 odd typically Shammi Kapoor movies. I have posted songs from almost all these movies, in addition to posting songs from other Shammi Kapoor movies where he played other kinds of roles.

Shammi Kapoor made his debut in early 1950s and for the first few years of his career he was largely a nobody. In his movies, he would try to ape the mannerisms of his elder brother Raj Kapoor.
It was with “Tumsa Nahin Dekha” (1957) that Shammi Kapoor discovered his true self. It was in this movie that we first saw Shammi Kapoor look and act like the Shammi Kapoor that we so love and adore to this day.

There are few actors in Hindi cinema of yesteryear who evoke as much passion in film-lovers as Shammi Kapoor. He came into cinema at a time when pathos ruled and emotional tragedies, a la Devdas, were the order of the day. Although he made an effort to fit in, he was thankfully (for all of us) a miserable failure in his efforts.

I have posted several songs from “Dil Deke Dekho” (1959) and still it appears to me that this movie has an endless supply of wonderful songs in it.

I have posted several songs from “An Evening in Paris” (1967). Here is a lesser known song from this movie, at least as far as I am concerned. I was not aware of this song till a few hours ago, and I became aware of this song only when I was looking at the list of old farmaishes given by my readers.

It was in 1960s that Indians were first treated to views of countries outside India and the Indian audiences were left gasping at the sight of the world, viz Japan, Europe etc and the progress that they had made vis a vis India left a lasting mpression in Indian minds, not that it led to any progress or introspection among Indians. They were just happy to enjoy these foreign locales on the movie screens.

Bade hain dil ke kaale

In Bollywood movies of 1950s and 1960s, we had “teasing” songs where the hero would tease the heroine, often too nastily in my view and get away with it, unlike how it is in real life in India, where “eve-teasing” is a serious offence.
