This blog has more than one hundred “Helen” songs.

I can recall many names right from Ashok Kumar (Howrah Bridge-1958) to Amitabh Bachchan (several movies). Then I reminded myself that Helen had started her cabarat dancing career in 1950s when the three big heroes were Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dec Anand.

Seven thousand. And the mind says, Goodness, are we already there?

A fabulous pace and a fantastic record. The steady pace with which the team is pulling together is simply marvelous. And more than that, it is Atul ji’s single minded devotion to this endeavor.
