I have mentioned in the past that most movie songs that we get to listen to are from movies that were released. But there are cases when a movie fails to get released but a few of its songs get released and some of them even become popular.
Then there are some cases when the movie as well as the songs remain unreleased for decades, before someone decided to release the audio of the songs from the still unreleased movie.

Bhupen Hazaarika, the sound and the soul of culture of the east, is now silent, forever. A stalwart of many talents who would be honored by audiences and critics in many countries, a multi faceted personality who was single handedly responsible for breathing life into the endeavors of Assamese cinema, bringing international recognition to the age old music and culture of far eastern India.

Ye faasle teri galiyon ke

I am not much aware about the movies and songs of 1990s and later. So when it comes to discussing the movies and songs from these movies, I am in unfamiliar territory. When I needs to discuss songs sung by Jagjit Singh (8 feb 1941-10 oct 2011), I need the help of those regulars who are failiar with such movies and their music in which Jagjit Singh figured. I am extremely thankful to Prakashchandra who promptly sent me the lyrics of a few songs (as well as details about these songs and their movies).

Bollywood music touched its nadir in 1980s when “Disco” music took over the music scene. The fact that Bappi Lahiri and Mithun da were the biggest beneficiary of that era says it all. Bappi Lahiri (though capable of creating great music) preferred to create forgettable music. Mithun da indulded in so called disco “densing”, which, if you watched closely, bore little resemblence to actual “densing”. “Densing”, incidentally was how Mithun da pronounced “dancing”.
