“Amar Rahe Ye Pyaar” (1961) is a movie about which very little information is available online. The only information I have been able to collect about the starcast of this movie is that it had Nalini Jaiwant, Rajendra Kumar and Nanda in it. Apparently, this movie flopped at the box office despite the presence of Jubilee Kumar in it.

“Jee Chaahta Hai” (1964) is a movie starring Joy Mukherji, Rashree, Shyama, Rajendranath, Nazir Hussain,Jeewan etc. I have not seen the movie so I often try to guess the story of the movie from the picturisation of the song, and my conclusions thus drawn about the movie are often quite off the mark. 😀

Think of a music director from Punjab, preparing music for a film whose story is set in Bombay. And one of the songs is based on the local folk dance of Maharashtra. And guess what you will get? A Lavani based song spiced with exclamations of ‘haishaa’. And if you don’t believe me, well just go ahead and listen to this wonderful folk dance song from the 1957 film Miss Bombay. (NOTE: ‘haishaa’ is an exclamation that is used often in Punjabi folk songs.).

“Aar Paar” (1954) was a milestone in the history of Hindi movies. It was one of the first suspense thrillers in Hindi movies. The music of this movie broke new grounds. The music was a breathtaking combination of Indian and Western influences. The same could be said about the picturisation of the movie and its songs. It is quite obvious that the makers of this movie had drawn inspiration liberally from western movies and from western music.

The festival of Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated today in many parts of the country.

By tying a piece of colored auspicious thread on the wrist of her brother, the sister is wishing for his well being, good health and prosperity, and in return the brother is making a promise to protect her and her honor. It is a much loved festival, that occurs on the full moon day of the month of Saawan.
