‘Kaali Ghata'(1980) was a suspense thriller movie with Rekha having a double role. Shashi Kapoor played the male lead. Music was by Laxmikant Pyarelal and lyricist was Anand Bakshi. Actually my favourtie song in this film is “Kaali Ghata Chaayi prem rut aayi” Which is either a solo Rafi or Lata -Rafi duet. Various links are giving different description of that song. I sent the lyrics of that song long ago, but it is posted recently on the blog. Listening to the haunting music and echo sound of that song on our old Philips Radio was an amazing experience. That sound still haunts me and I have heard the song many times on FM radio too but it is not the same.

I have always been writing on old films, old songs, old artists, old anecdotes-in short, everything about old matters (what else you expect from an old man,anyway !). So,my post on a comparatively newer song,that too a Disco song may surprise some readers. It is sort of an anachronism, one may aver !

This song came to my mind, right out of the blue. It must have been 30 years since I last heard this song. At first I thought it was a Kishore Kumar song. Then I felt this is the song from film ‘Souten’ which had many versions. I remembered the whole mukhda and tune still I did not realise that it was a Rafi song. Than I said rather than speculating what song is this ‘gham chhupaate raho muskuraate raho’ let us find it. So I found this song on youtube, both audio and video link. This turns out to be a duet of Rafi Saab and Asha Bhonsle.

Just the other day I wrote in the comments,” ALL that is produced after 1970 in Hindi Films is not bad as much as ALL that is produced before 1970 is not good”. My reference was to the overall quality of films, like story, acting, comedy or music etc.

I find that the movies that I did not like often ended up as big hits (viz. “Muqaddar Ka Sikandar”, “Suhaag” etc). On the other hands , the movies that I like a lot end up getting lukewarm response from the public (viz “The Great Gambler”, “The Burning Train”, “Deshpremi” etc).
