Do rang duniya ke aur do raaste
Posted on: January 9, 2009
“Do Raaste” was a musical blockbuster. It had great songs sung by Rafi, Lata, and Kishore Kumar. But it was Mukesh who got to sing the Title song, and needless to say, this song too is just as popular as the other songs of this movie. Mukesh has sung this song full of pathos, as was his wont.

In earlier days, Bollywood movies had specialists doing specialised kind of work. Villains would commit the dark deeds, comedians would make people laugh, hero would do his herogiri etc.

I have stumbled upon yet another “new” song for me. The movie is called “aao pyaar karen”. It has Joy Mukherjee and Saira Bano as the lead actors and this is a movie from 1964, so one can safely assume that the story line has got to be similar to Shammi Kapoor movies of those days.

This Rafi song is one that I have been listening to from my childhood, and this is one of the Rafi songs that is hardwired into my brain. Of course, additional informations viz movie, music directors etc were not part of that information.

While posting another Lata song from this movie, I had commented that “Mera Saaya” had as many as four immortal Lata songs. After posting “naino me badra chaaye”, I now post the title song from this movie viz “tu jahan jahan rahega mera saaya saath hoga”.

Rajshri Productions movies of 1970s tended to have their music ( as well as lyrics) by Ravindra Jain, till Ram Laxman took over in 1980s. In that respect, “Uljhan”, a 1975 Rajshri Productions movie was an exception. Its music was composed by Kalyanji Anandji whereas M G Hashmat was the lyricist.

Tere jaisa yaar kahaan

I just expounded on my theory that Amitabh Bachchan tended to have quite a few “friendship” songs in his movies. In fact, the title of two of his movies themselves were friendship based- viz “Dostana” and “Yaraana”, both meaning “friendship”. Of course, there were “friendship” songs even in those Amitabh movies whose titles were different- viz in movies like “Zanjeer”, “Hera Pheri”,”Ram Balram” etc.

Chaudhvin ka chaand ho
Posted on: December 13, 2008
This song was written by Shakeel Badayuni and music was created by Ravi. Shakeel Badayuni was a lyricist who usually worked only for Naushad. When he was signed up to work for this movie, he came up to Ravi, grabbed Ravi’s hand and told him “I have never worked with an outside production. I am nervous, please cover up for my deficiencies”. Such humility ! This lyrics must go down as one of the greatest lyrics written in Bollywood movie history.
