I often get confused between the two similarly named movies of 1960s, viz “Shikaar” and “Shikaari”. The confusion is compounded by the fact that both movies had similar storylines, where the hero would go to a jungle for “shikaar” where he would enounter tribals wearing Red Indian/ African kinds of heargears etc and the daughter of the chief would be the chief female dancer among the tribal dance troupe that would sing and dance at the drop of a spear.

“Kanyaadaan” (1968) was a movie with great songs but not so great storyline. In other words, the movie did not deserve the song that it got. This is the view of Memsaab, who must be the most tolerant reviewer of Hindi movies that one can come across.

Remembering Mahendra Kapoor today, 9th Jan, his birth anniversary.
As I am searching for songs to post for today, I came across this simply super gem of a melody which I have heard long time back, and which has since been eluding me. This song just has to be counted amongst the best and softest duets ever. Rendered softer than silk and softer than velvet, this duet is by Asha ji and Mahendra ji. I am sure as you would hear this, the reaction is going to be, “wow, not posted yet?”.

Today (9th january) is the birthday of Mahendra Kapoor. For this day we have lots and lots of Mahendra Kapoor songs lined up for the occasion.
Here is a lovely song from “Kanyadaan”(1968). This song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor, Asha Bhonsle and chorus. The song is picturised as a picnic song o Dilip Raaj, Saeeda Khan and many actors playing their friends, including Chinoo and Laxmi Chhaayaa.

If new year is the day of making resolutions (only to give them up after a few days 🙂 ), then last day of the year is the day of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new year, hoping that the new year would bring in better luck than the previous year. Let bygone be bygones and let us make a new beginning- that is the sentiment on this occasion.
