In Bollywood movies, the main theme of the story is love between the lead actors.

I have barely heard the name of this movie called “Menhdi Lagi Mere Haath”(1962). I plead not guilty for being unaware of this movie. My defence is that this movie had Shashi Kapoor and Nanda in lead roles and that is a strong enough reason for a normal movie to end up as an obscure movie.

Rafi-Shammi Kapoor songs are some of the most loved songs in Bollywood movies. Sometime ago, I had wondered what I was going to do if I run out of these Rafi-Shammi Kapoor songs to post. Well, I have posted over 2500 songs in this blog, and I find that I still have many Rafi-Shammi Kapoor songs not yet posted. So I still have lots of ground to cover.
