Atul’s Song A Day- A choice collection of Hindi Film & Non-Film Songs

Another rare gem. This song from Doosra Aadmi is sung by comedian Deven Verma on himself, and the female voice is Pamela Chopra’s who was the wife of Yash Chopra, the maker of this movie.

The lyrics has a word like Sanwariya mentioned prominently. And guess what, Ranbir Kapoor whose debut movie was called “Sanwariya” was not born then, but one can clearly see Ranbir Kapoor connection in this song. His mother and father play the married couple in this song, as they did in many movies together at that time.

This song is a great discovery, I must say. This song is filmed on Danny, then an esoteric looking item of curiosity for Bollywood movie watchers. He looked every bit a chinky that his Sikkimese origin warranted, and moreover, he had yet to become accepted as an actor for mainstream roles. With time, his looks became accepted as mainstream, and he in fact started playing roles like Thakur saab, Heroine’s baap etc.

Mukesh sings a wonderful philosophical song penned by Shailendra and set to tune by Shankar Jaikishan. The movie is Aah, a Raj Kapoor starrer.

Raj Kapoor is very much present in the picturisation of this song, but this song is not picturised on Raj Kapoor. Then who has the audacity to sing it on the screen ? Well, the bullock cart driver who carries Raj kapoor on his cart sings it. And it is no character artist. Look closely, it is Mukesh himself who is the bullock card driver and who sings this song on screen.

Kishore Kumar sang most of his earlier songs under the music direction of S D Burman. But he did sing under other music directors too. But as far as sad/ serious songs were concerned, most such songs of Kishore Kumar tended to be under the music direction of S D Burman and typically picturied on Dev Anand.

But Kishore Kumar’s prowess in singing sad/ serious songs was being acknowledged by other music directors too. And Kishore Kumar was getting chances to sing for himself in movies as well.

It is a movie that has long been forgotten , but this movie was lit up by this one awesome comedy song sung and performed on the screen by the one and only Kishore Kumar. It is a tremendous comedy song written by that lesser known lyricist Qamar Jalalabadi and composed so well by Kalyanji Anandji. Kishore Kumar has sung and acted with characteristic exuberance in this song.

It is my privilege to present this hidden gem that deserves to be ranked as one of the unforgettable comedy songs from Kishore Kumar. Kishore Kumar, the genius is at his best here while singing as well as acting. This song, though largely forgotten now was ranked 4th in 1971 Binaca geetmala finals. It was that popular in its days.

Here is a cute song for the whole family. The song is meant for tiny tots, and indeed the song was picturised as such. Kids love to listen to story, especially at bedtime.Here the kids are shepherds out in a jungle and Amitabh Bachchan is a stranger. Amitabh tries to befriend the kids by offering to tell them a story. Wary at first, the kids are lured by the offer of a story. And what is the topic of story? It is not the story of kings and queens, or fairies. He would tell them the story of a tiger. The mention of a tiger naturally make the kids nervous.

People who are normally happy and cheerful, sing great happy songs. But when they have occasions to feel sad, their sadness is genuinely painful. That may explanation why the sad songs sung by Kishore Kumar sound so poignant, and so full of pathos.

And when it comes to Kishore Kumar’s sad songs, the feeling of pain and sadness comes out so well in this particular song. The movie is long forgotten, but this song has assured that the name of the movie would always be remembered while discussing this song.

Boys have been wooing girls for many generations, and despite cultural differences, modus operandi remains the same across all cultures. It is the male who has to act, and the female reacts. And a fine delicate balance must be struck. The male should not be so shy that he would not even approach the female, nor should he be too crude to turn the girl off. The usual Indian way, to launch a trial baloon, and to test the waters to see that the conditions are favourable for the approach- it is the recommended way that still works, as it did 50 years ago.
