This is the last song from the film Ajanabee. This is one of the lesser known songs from this movie. From its sound it hardly seems to be from Pancham except at times during the interludes. A common situation in Indian films for songs is where the lovers reach a village or a tribal camp on one of their rendezvous. Once there, they are persuaded by the locals to participate in their dance and song item. Sometimes the pair starts imagining themselves in the situation of the leading pair singing and dancing.

‘Dillagi’ (1978) is a comedy movie, with the story of college lecturers and students. It is written and directed by Basu Chatterjee. Reading its reviews at imdb website is indicating it must be hilarious somewhat on the lines of ‘Chupke Chupke’. Now that is one movie I have seen.

Rains have always provided a nice frame for romance and thus in Indian films we find many rain or monsoon songs. There are rain songs, where the lovers meet, there are rain songs, where one lover is pining for his/her partner or rain songs which celebrates the coming of rain after a long dry season. The latter being less romantic and more practical.

‘Inkaar’ from 1977 is one of my more favorite cops-and-robbers films. Almost the entire picture is a study in understatement. A film that flows pretty close to the levels of realism, and all the characters seem very natural and very normal in the surroundings they are placed in. Most of the action and most of the histrionics is played very normally. There is not much in the film that can be singled out as something overplayed. A difficult feat to pull off, given that it is a crime and detection story.

This is the last song of Doosri Sita (1974). Quite interesting to see that the film has basically only three songs. Since one of them has three versions, a person watching the film would have the effect of listening to five songs.

Today’s song is from a film called PARINAY-74, with music from a very talented Music Director- JAIDEV.
Now, I see some eyebrows raised,wondering why and how I have chosen a song from the 70s, because I generally talk about Films and Songs of 30s to 60s period only. But let me assure you that everything was not lost even after 1970. One could always find wonderful melodies here and there. Of course,the flow of such melodies had slowed down to a trickle,but still there were some sparks to be seen off and on.
