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).

I was at my movie watching “best” in 1980, and movies of that vintage are recent movies by the standards of this blog. Still I had never heard of this movie called “Zaalim” (1980) till now. When one looks at the starcast of this movie, one finds the name of Vinod Khanna as the hero who looked the most likely candidate to challenge Amitabh Bachchan as the leading male actor of those days, but unlike Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna lacked peace of mind and was searching for it in the Ashram of Bhagwan Rajneesh, later known as Osho. As a result, Vinod Khanna was distracted and was unable to devote himself fully to his filmy career. That told on the box office performances of his movies of those days.

Today (26 september) is the 89th birth anniversary of Dev Anand (26 september 1923- 3 december 2011). On this occasion, here is a song from “Lootmaar” (1980). In fact this song has two versions. The first version is sung mainly by Kishore Kumar, with voices of Varsha Bhonsle and Shivangi Kolhapure also figuring. This version is lip synced by Dev Anand, Tina Munim and a kid playing Dev Anand’s son. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify this kid.
PS-Now I have read at wikipedia that this kid was Tina Munim’s real brother called Manan.
