“Jab se Tumhe Dekha Hai” (1963) is a lesser known movie from the past. It had Pradeep Kumar and Geeta Bali in lead roles. As was the case with most movies of those days, the songs of this movie too are nice to listen to.

II have barely heard of this movie called “Maharaja” (1970). This movie had Sanjay Khan and Nutan in it, and this movie must have sung without a trace when it was released in 1970. To this day, I have not been able to understand how Sanjay Khan made it in Hindi movies as a hero. I in fact wonder if he ever had a loyal fan following that most heroes have.Compared to him, someone like Shashi Kapoor (whom I regard as no good) should be regarded as a superstar. If one has to make a list of movies that succeeded because of Sanjay Khan, one may well draw a blank. I am not at all surprised if this movie “Maharaja” (1970) fell miserably at the box office.

Meri beri ke ber mat todo

This is a song that is today known to the present generation thanks to a remix song.When I saw/ heard this remix song, then the first think that came to my mind was- why they cannot make their own original music. And in case they have to use old songs, why they should not acknowledge this fact somewhere. Plagiarism is plagiarism, and it is blatant plagiarism because the golden era songs, which are being used as source material for these remixes are still fresh in the mind of music lovers.

Songs in which actors, especially male actors would accuse female actors of “bewafaayi” were quite common in Hindi movies. Such songs would often be sung in isolation, but often such songs would be sung in get together/ parties too. The male actor would go on with his accusation and the female would feel embarrased as well as guilty in full public view. The public, viz the other participants in the party would consist of people standing/ sitting in their positions like statues.
