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.

Dara Singh needs no introductions. The name, the face and the physique is very familiar to more than six generation of Hindi film audience, and especially the fans of Indian free style wrestling. Born on the 19th November, 1928, Dara Singh belongs to a Jaat Sikh family of Amritsar. As a teen ager, he grew into a gangling and muscular young man measured in at 6 feet and 2 inches, and the move for becoming a wrestler was almost natural.

In the previous qawwaali I had posted (Poochho Na Hamen Ishq Mein Kyaa Kyaa Nazar Aayaa), we saw Dara Singh and Mumtaz enjoying the qawwaali being performed by Jagdeep, Mohan Choti, and Shakila Banu Bhopali. So how about Dara Singh actually performing a qawwaali. No, not impossible, if that is the first thought that came to your mind. This qawwaali is co-presented on screen by Dara Singh, along with Maruti and a host of junior artists.
