Thaanedaar, viz inchange of the police station (Thaanaa) is a very important person as far as public are concerned. The original term for Thaanedaar, that old generation grew up with, is “Daarogaa”. “Darogaa” was much feared ( and therefore respected) by aam jantaa.

Most of the songs discussed in this blog are created by those who are well known names or the usual suspects, as one may call them. But that does not mean that they were the only talents out there.
