“Holiday in Bombay” (1963) is a movie which is barely known to most Hindi movie enthusiasts today. Same is the case for the music of this movie. But when one begins to look at the songs of this movie, one is left amazed. How can a movie full of such songs be so obscure. This movie should be known among music lovers at least for its songs if for nothing else.

Do not know if the director was running out of ideas, but this song appears to be a duplicate in some ways. The film is Baadhsah from 1964. Two songs from this film are already posted. With reference to the song “Ae Jee Mein Ne Kahaa Suniye To Zaraa” – when I compare these two songs, they seem to be very similar in intent and also in terms of the players on whom this is picturized. The earlier posted song is also performed on screen by this actress, Kumari Rani, trying to stop and annoyed looking Dara Singh from leaving her company. The scenario is repeated in this song also. Once again, the song is performed by Kumari Rani. Dara Singh is playing the offended gentleman, and the lady love is trying to stop him from leaving. In this case, the one additional characteristic stands out – apparently the lady knows some kind of magic, for she disappears and reappears a few times during the performance of this song.

So many lustrous gems of melodious beauty are still out there waiting to be re-discovered and re-played. Browsing through the YouTube, or my own collection, or just turning the pages of the Geet Kosh, is an exercise that generally does not fail to bring up a song that is unheard or heard and lost for a long time. I came across this lovely melancholic melody by Asha Bhosle, only last week. And since then, I have listened to it so many times. It is a wonder that the songs of sadness are melodies of such beauty. Possibly it is the emotions contained therein. This song has not made it into any selections of Asha ji, that I have heard of. But I believe this obscure and rarely heard song merits more attention from the listeners.

In 1960s and 1970s, movie halls used to hire a rickshaw in which they would install an announcer with a PA system as well as a record player. The rickshaw would be covered with the cardboard hoardings of handmade posters of the movie.

On the occasion of the 63rd republic day of India (26th january 2012), we are discussing a few patriotic songs today.
Here is a song of this genre from “Aakraman” (1975). This song is sung by Kishore Kumar and it is picturised on Rajesh Khanna, who plays a handicapped person who has lost one leg and is forced to walk with the help of crutches. He sings this patriotic songs to encourage the Armymen who are proceeding to the battlefield. The picturisation also shows Sanjeev Kumar and several others play fauzi jawaans in this song.
