Something providential in the coincident that today is the birth anniversary of two wonderful dancers and performers of the Hindi silver screen. Yes, today, 21st October is the day that both Shammi Kapoor and Helen share as their date of birth. And not that it is a strange or unique occurrence. Many people share their dates of birth with many other known, even renowned people. But I single out this occurrence as special – these two wonderful people have been contemporaries in the film industry, they have performed together in many movies, and the most important, both of them represent that combination of energy and fun and delight and enjoyment that is unique to their theatrical personae.

What a find!! Bless this YouTube, and all the scattered music lovers all over the globe. Somewhere, someone is holding on to some fabulous music and then voila, it appears on the net. A song I have been searching for a long time. I am sure it happens with others also; it starts with the thought – there is something one is missing. At times it will pass through the mind, and then get folded under some other thoughts. When I log in online, there are so many other things to look for, that are the significant need for the current series of posts, that this one (and many other such things) do not readily jump to the front line. And then one day, I am searching for something else, when I bump into this one thing, completely out of the blue, and the only expression I can manage at the moment is “O My God”.

“Jahaan Pyaar Miley” (1969) is a movie that I knew from my younger days only because of its title song(Chale jaa chale jaa chale jaa jahan pyaa miley ) which was sung by Suman Kalyanpur. Apart from that song, I had little idea about the movie.

I had mentioned in an earlier discussion that Helen’s aspirations (if any) of playing mainstream rolers in Hindi movies (where mainstream roles means donning a sari /salwar kurta etc and singing songs that are the preserve of leading ladies) were realised on movies like “Cha Cha Cha” (1964) and “Lahu Ke Do Rang” (1979). She in fact won the Filmfare award for best supporting actress too, for her role in “Lahu Ke Do Rang” (1979).

When one thinks of Helen, one thinks of a cabarat song(typically sung by Asha Bhonsle) where Helen, suitably under dressed by Indian standards, performs her dance and then bows out, playing no further part in the movie. There are many Helen fans though who would like to see her in meatier roles in these movies.
