Regular Hindi movie watchers may have certainly watched a few historical/mythological movies involving Kings. In these movies,King and his ministers would assemble in a Raj Darbaar (King’s court) the way today’s Business houses have their General Body Meeting. What is common in all these meetings is that after the meeting, there would be often by an entertainment programme. Today, the location of entertainment may be different from that of the meeting, but that was not the case in historical times. The entertainment programme would take place in the Raj darbaar itself.

These days I am posting songs from “Pooja Ke Phool” (1964). I have noticed that this movie has some wonderful songs in it. So far I have posted two songs from this movie which were sung by Lata.

I have mentioned it in the past that I grew up in Ranchi, which was then a city in Bihar and it is now the capital city of the state of Jharkhand. Those were the days when one judged the size of a place by the number of movie halls in it. If the place had 100 plus movie halls then it was a metropolitan city. If the place had 30 plus movie halls then it was a A class city etc.

Here is a “roadside tamasha” song from “Biraadari” (1966). In this song Shashi Kapoor and Memmood, donning striped lungis 😀 give a vigorous and boisterous dance performance. Such dances are right up the alley of Mehmood, but even Shashi Kapoor gamely hangs on and manages to keep pace with Mehmood.
