In 1970s, Rajesh Khanna was the reigning male superstar whereas Hema Malini was the dream girl. But the two hardly paired with each other. Rajesh Khanna was mainly paired with Mumtaz and Sharmila Tagore, whereas the pairing of Dharmendra and Hema Malini was taken for granted those days.

Dhal gaya din ho gayi shaam
Posted on: October 22, 2008
This song is also known as “dhal gaya din THUK ho gayi shaam THUK jaane do THUK jaana hai THUK“.
The lyricist Anand Bakshi had not included the word THUK in the lyrics. This additional word is there in the song thanks to the picturisation, where the heroine Leena Chandawarkar plays badminton with Jeetendra and the sound THUK is generated as the wooden racket hits the shuttlecock.

Jab tak rahe tan mein jiya
Posted on: October 13, 2008
This is a song that was quite well known to me, but those days I never knew which movie this song was from. It was only recently that I came to know that this movie was called “Samadhi”.
In those days prior to VCR/ Video players, the only way to watch a movie was on the big screen. It mostly meant watching the movie on cinema halls. Some times though, some people/ clubs would sponsor movies that would be shown at night on open space for free.

I am sure no one recalls this 1978 movie called “Tumhaari Kasam”. In fact I do not think this movie was ever released in the parts of the country where I was growing up in 1970s. But I recall having heard this song and liking it.
Now that I have rediscoverd this song, after all of 30 years- and with the video of the song to boot, I realise that this beautiful song was picturised surprisingly well.

“Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this walked on the earth in flesh and blood.”
–Einstein
The above quotation by Einstein was said as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, arguably the most influential man of the 20th century. He helped change the fate of millions of people around the globe. When one looks at the major movements of the 20th century- viz anticolonialism, anti apartheid, non violence, and movement against untouchability ( the last one a uniquely Indian social evil)- Gandhi was the motive force/ originator behind all these major movements. And it goes without saying that these movements helped change the destiny of millions of people and scores of nations around the globe.

This blog has many songs sung with great enthusiasm by male singers. Here is a song sung with equal joie de vivre by a female singer. The singer is Asha Bhonsle and the dancer is Mumtaz. It is s killer combination. The movie is “Loafer” starring Dharmendra. This movie had many nice songs, and this song was perhaps the most suitable for those ladies who looked for a song to dance.

Sun sun kasam se
Posted on: September 17, 2008
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.

This fantastic song that has become a memorable song indelibly etched on the psyches of music lovers across the generations was a magical song when it was released in 1961. This song, picturised on Dev Anand and Sadhna has remained popular ever since. Few people have much idea about the movie ( Hum dono) or about the music director (Jaidev), but the song is one which was never forgotten, so there is no question of this song being not known to any bollywood music listener.

We have seen how true blue shayars like Hasrat Jaipuri, Majrooh etc could come up with funny lyrics leading to some great fun songs. Here we see Javed Akhtar, scriptwriter turned shayar, emulating his illustrious predecessors. Here lyrics are written in a common real life language, and not in the usual high sounding words. This was one of the first such songs as far as I can recall.
This song is preceded by some great funny scenes in the movie involving the hero and the heroine, and the fun continues in this song, when the two go to attend a wedding party.
