Just like we these days lament the deterioration in the quality of Bollywood music, people used to lament about such deterioration even in the past. I personally thought that many of the songs of 1970s were pedestrial and chaalu songs. But now with the passage of time, when I came across far worse songs, then I realised that the so called poor songs of 1970s were gems in comparison.

“Aapke Deewaane” (1980) is a movie that had some nice songs in it. This is one of the few movies I recall where Rafi and Kishore Kumar sang together. It was perhaps for the last time that the two sang together, since Rafi died shortly thereafter.

“Swayamwar” (1980) was a nice movie with a “Chandamama” style story. And that was not surprising, because this movie was produced by the same people who were the owners of this popular childrens’ magazine.

“Garam Khoon” (1980) was a movie starring Vinod Khanna and Sulakshana Pandit. Neither the movie nor its songs made much of an impression when the movie was released in 1979.

Rafi, who had seen his crown as the leading male singer taken over in early 1970s, was in fact almost without work for nearly one year, that is how strongly the gale force of Kishore Kumar’s singing had hit Bollywood music scene those days. But towards the later half of 1970s, one witnesses a resurgence on the part of Rafi. He sang several great songs and it looked like he was yet again on the way to stake claim for the top spot before his untimely demise in 1980.

Mausam mausam lovely mausam

There was one chalu timepass song in the movie called “Thodi Si Bewafaai” (1980), that was fairly popular at that time. This song was a duet sung by lesser singers (Anwar and Sulakshana Pandit) and the song went “Mausam mausam lovely mausam”. One oes not associate such chaalu kind of lyrics from Gulzar but he actually wrote this lyrics.
