Ab to hai tumse har khushi apni
Posted on: April 17, 2011
We often read about real life following reel life and vice versa. I am not talking about movie actors playing roles based on some other real life people. I am talking of the actors playing their own real life stories on the silver screen.There have been quite a few cases where actors enacted their own real life stories in movies.

Aaj sochaa to aansoo bhar aaye

“Hanste Zakhm” (1973) was, not surprisingly (in hindsight) , a commercial disaster. Chetan Anand, the maker of this movie, was so enamoured of Priya Rajwansh that she was the heroine of all his movies, despite her wooden face. No doubt she tried hard, as did others, to perform to the best of their abilities, but this movie had other weak points viz confused storyline, etc.

I have already discussed as many as three songs from “Hanste Zakhm” (1973). But this movie has more nice songs in it, of course. The request for this song was a long pending one.

Deep deewaali ke jhhoothhe
Posted on: November 5, 2010
Though I have seen the movie “Jugnu” (1973), I do not much remember the songs of this movie. While looking for deewali songs, I found that this movie indeed has a deewali song, and that too a happy deewali song. I wonder how I do not remember this song despite watching this movie.

Songs play a very important role in the overall experience of a movie goer. Normally it takes a while before the first song kicks in. But there are occasions when the movie begins with a song. Credits are rolling in and a song is playing in the background. As the credit ends, so does the song, and the story begins in the right earnest.

I have often tried to compile a list of male and female actors who acted together in movies before they married each other. One can think of names like Dev Anand- Kalpana Kartik, Shammi Kapoor- Geeta Bali, Randhir Kapoor-Babita, Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh, Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bhaduri, Dharmendra-Hema Malini etc.

Main shaayar badnaam

While posting songs from the golden era of Bollywood movies, I have tended to concentrate more on the songs of 1950s and 1960s, even though I grew up with songs of 1970s. Just like we these days lament about the quality of Bollywood movie songs today and cite old Bollywood movie songs as the epitome of quality, the same lament was heard even in 1970s. Even I was under the impression that the quality of music in 1970s was not what it was in the earlier years. Now of course I can have a hearty laugh at my own expense with the benefit of hindsight.

Samjhautaa ghamon se kar lo
Posted on: July 24, 2010
This title song/ theme song from “Samjhauta” (1973) has gone on to become an iconic song. I was under the impression that I had posted this song already, but farmaishes from several readers made me realise that I had not posted this song so far.

Pyaar kabhi kam na karnaa sanam
Posted on: May 28, 2010
This is one of those songs that I loved listening to in my formative years without having much clue about it and then I forgot all about the song once this song stopped playing on radio and loudspeakers.
