I am not much aware about the movies and songs of 1990s and later. So when it comes to discussing the movies and songs from these movies, I am in unfamiliar territory. When I needs to discuss songs sung by Jagjit Singh (8 feb 1941-10 oct 2011), I need the help of those regulars who are failiar with such movies and their music in which Jagjit Singh figured. I am extremely thankful to Prakashchandra who promptly sent me the lyrics of a few songs (as well as details about these songs and their movies).

I tend to get confused a lot about the movies “Bahaaron Ke Sapne” (1967) and Bahaaron Ki Manzil” (1968). “Bahaaron Ke Sapne” is a Rajesh Khanna- Asha Parekh with R D Burman’s music whereas “Bahaaron Ki Manzil” (1968) have Dharmendra and Meena Kumari in lead roles and it has music by Laxmikant Pyarelal.

“Kaala Sonaa” (1975) to my mind is inspired from “Westerns”. In this movie, Feroz Khan plays Clint Eastwood.

But all that effect is lost when one watches the picturisation, since the picturisation shows lack of imagination as well as lack of ability on the part of the movie makers. As a result, the movie, as well as the song is consigned to the dustbin of history.

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.

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.
