I was under the impression that Kishore Kumar, who sang almost all varieties of songs, never sang a qawwaali, and that the closest to a qawwali that he sang was “kabhi bekhudi ne maara” from “alag alag”. Now I stand corrected. Kishore Kumar did sing at least one proper qawwaali and it was in a 1973 movie called ” Anokhi Ada”. And it was quite a popular qawwali too. I wonder how this fact had slipped from my mind.

Listening to Binaca geetmala on wednesday nights is one of my most memorable moments of 1970s. If I am asked to name one song from Binaca geetmala that stands out in memory, then this particular song has to be that. This song appeared to be playing every time I listened to Binaca geetmala weekly programmes. If one looks dispassionately, neither this song, nor any other song from this movie figured in Binaca geetmala finals, but at that time, this movie and other songs from this movie appeared to be all over Binaca geetmala.

This blog has many songs sung with great enthusiasm by male singers. Here is a song sung with equal joie de vivre by a female singer. The singer is Asha Bhonsle and the dancer is Mumtaz. It is s killer combination. The movie is “Loafer” starring Dharmendra. This movie had many nice songs, and this song was perhaps the most suitable for those ladies who looked for a song to dance.

I grew in that era when masses would run away a mile from classical songs or classical dances. There were few takers for such kind of art.
Those days, some bollywood makers on a shoe string budget would make movies different from mainstream movies. Such movies earned rave reviews and critical praise, but these movies were rejected by masses. Film festivals were often the only place one could watch such movies.

Here is a song from 1973 that is funny as well as serious, both at the same time. It preaches us the value of being content with what we have rather than losing sleep over chasing mirages.
Rajinder Krishan, as usual came up with wonderful lyrics containing simple words with deep meaning. Laxmikant Pyarelal compose a nice song, sung well by Kishore and Lata. Overall, it may have been considered as a timepass song in the context of the movie, but I think the message of the song goes beyond the scope of the storyline of the by now forgotten movie.

“Yaadon ki baraat” was a movie full of memorable foot tapping numbers. Its songs are what I would call party songs. These songs were sung in parties in the movie. In fact, the entire movie was full of parties and every party had one memorable party song.
One song that was extremely popular among teens like me was the song where the boy invites a girl to come to the stage. A dream situation for desi teens those days. No wonder I simply loved this song.

Today is the day Rafi left this world 28 years ago. And the Bollywood music world truly lost its voice. Every year, we pay our heartfelt tribute to Rafi in various ways on this day. One way of paying our tribute is by playing his immortal songs.
There are some songs that are bound to figure in everyone’s list on this occasion.
Not all of these great songs were created by big name music directors. There are some immortal Rafi songs created by lesser known Music directors as well. People may not have heard of these music directors, these songs may not have become too popular in countdown shows,the movies containing these songs may have sunk without a trace- but one fact remains. All these Rafi songs have become immortal nevertheless.

A cute song from 1973. Rekha, a raw teenager was an ugly duckling and an immature youngster at that time,who was not expected to go very far in Bollywood. She would later turn over a new leaf in 1978. But that was far off in the future. This movie was only her third movie, and here she was paired with a leading actor for the first time. Her earlier two heroes were debutants Navin Nischol and Randheer Kapoor.
