While posting songs, I keep on stumbling upon unknown gems almost all the time. And there are countless such gems lying undiscovered.

I was not even aware of this movie called “Noor Jahaan” (1967). I became aware of this movie only after I got a farmaish for a song of this movie.

The more one listens to the songs of “Ham Dono” (1961), the more admiration one feels for the creators of the music of this movie.

I came to know about the movie “Musaafirkhaana” (1955) recently. By now I have realised that though the movie is not great shakes, its songs are very nice to listen to.

“Kyaa ye Bombay hai ?” (1959) is as obscure a movie as any. This C grade movie had Maruti and Nishi in lead roles.

This song is neither written by Hasrat Jaipuri nor composed by Shankar Jaikishan. But this song sounds like a Shammi Kapoor song, and it looks like a Shammi Kapoor song, because other ingredients are very much there. Rafi is the singer, Asha Parekh is there, and most important of them all, Shammi Kapoor himself is there in this song.

There are several songs that play at the very beginning of the movie as the credits begin rolling in on screen. I have not yet had a category for them, but I think I should call such songs as movie opening songs. They open the movie like how opening batsmen open an innings in a cricket match.

There have been three movies called “Ziddi” over the years that I am aware of. These movies were released in 1948, 1964 and 1997. “Ziddi” (1948) and “Ziddi” (1964) have some very fine songs and I have posted songs from both these movies in this blog. The 1997 movie of this name is not noted for any great songs, rather this movie is known for a dialogue of Sunni Deol, that went- “ye dhaayi kilo ka haath jab kisi pe uthta hai to wo uthtaa nahin, uth jaata hai” (when this 2 1/2 kilo fist comes down upon someone, he cannot get up, he can only go up). 😉 It is not music for the ears of the baddies, that is for sure.

“Mem Sahib”(1956) was a delightful movie that is guaranteed to warm the cockles of the listeners and watchers of this movie. This lovely movie had Kishore Kumar, Meena Kumari ( in a bubbly role), and Shammi Kapoor.
