I am seriously considering opening a new category of songs called “Helen” songs. And this category will certainly have many entries, considering that a cabaret by Helen was a must in most mainstream Bollywood movies for much of 1960s and 1970s.

“Zakhmee” (1975) had quite a few wonderful songs. For long I thought that these songs were composed by R D Burman. It was much later that I realised that this movie in fact was the debut movie of Bappi Lahiri as a music director.
