While watching old movie songs, sometimes we come across kids with names sounding familiar to present day fans. And they tend to believe that these kids are the same TV/ movie personality they know. But that is not always the case.

I am aware of this song, and I am aware of the movie “Leader” (1964) as well, but I did not know till yesterday that this song was from “Leader” (1964).

I have posted nearly one hundred songs composed by Madan Mohan in this blog. Madan Mohan composed music for some 700 songs in Bollywood movies so I have posted nearly 15 % of Madan Mohan’s compositions.

Listening to music is not an objective exercise. It is a subjective exercise. And that is why different people with different mental make up have entirely different preferences as music lovers.

“Aapki Parchhaayian” (1964), like “Anpadh” (1962) was one movie that enhanced Madan Mohan’s repulation as being the ghazal king of Bollywood music world. In both these movies Raja Mehdi Ali Khan was the lyricist who penned some unforgettable songs.

There have been three movies called “Ziddi” over the years that I am aware of. These movies were released in 1948, 1964 and 1997. “Ziddi” (1948) and “Ziddi” (1964) have some very fine songs and I have posted songs from both these movies in this blog. The 1997 movie of this name is not noted for any great songs, rather this movie is known for a dialogue of Sunni Deol, that went- “ye dhaayi kilo ka haath jab kisi pe uthta hai to wo uthtaa nahin, uth jaata hai” (when this 2 1/2 kilo fist comes down upon someone, he cannot get up, he can only go up). 😉 It is not music for the ears of the baddies, that is for sure.

I have been posting songs from “Shagoon” (1964) these days. These songs are very nice songs to listen to, though the movie itself was a box office disaster.
