Archive for the ‘Songs of 1960s (1961 to 1970)’ Category

I was neither aware of this movie called “Ye Dil Kisko Doon” (1963) nor this song from the movie. But the obscurity of this movie is easily explainable when you find out who the lead actor of this movie is. It is Shashi Kapoor- enough said. 😀

I regard Ravi as the creator of iconic songs. Whatever the occasion, one can have a few iconic songs from Ravi for the occasion. Ravi indeed has a few iconic Deewali songs under his belt, as can be expected.
