O mere Raja khafa na hona
Posted on: November 15, 2008
After watching every song of “Johny Mera Naam”, I have described that song as the best song in the movie, only to say the same thing about the next song from the movie. I have already posted a few songs from this movie ( two to be precise) and just about every song is so wonderful to listen to and watch. A fresh as lily Hema and a dashing Dev Saab made quite an impression in this movie, especially in the songs.

“Kasauti” was a movie with Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in the lead. The movie flopped badly. But there was one song in this movie that became very popular those days. It was the song ” Hum bolega to bologe ki bolta hai”. It was sung by Kishore Kumar. But it was not picturised on Amitabh, the hero of the movie, but on Pran, the erstwhile villain who had turned a new leaf into a character artist those days. In this song, he dons the garb of a gurkha.

Babul pyaare

This movie had an ageing ( read already aged) Dev Anand paired against the rising star Hema Malini. The movie turned out to be a hit. The story line was quite engrosing and the movie was shot in exotic places like Nepal and elsewhere.

Hema Malini tended to figure in rather “Bhartiya Naari” kind of songs, but there were occasions when she was seen singing in front of lowly creatures aka “kuttons and kameenos” much to the chagrin of Dharam ji.

Ek cheez maangte hain

Early years of 1970s saw a trend ( short lived though) where we had some songs where the the lyrics were quite direct. I call such songs as “straight talk” songs, where there is no beating about the bush. I have already posted a few such “straight talk” songs, for example “dil machal raha hai” from “Khalifa”.

Kaamdev jaisi teri sooratiya
Posted on: November 4, 2008
I may regard myself as a bollywood music buff, espdecially of songs circa 1970 or so. But there are still songs from that era which I never heard when they were first released.

Jaane chaman jaane bahaar
Posted on: November 2, 2008
I had listened to this song quite often in Radio Ceylon “aaphi ke geet” programme , which was a farmaishi programme catering to listeners from Jhumri Tilaiyya and elsewhere. But I do not think this song became particularly popular in Binaca geetmala or with those plying records on loudspeakers during those days of 1974. In fact, I was not even aware which movie this song was from.

Sharaafat chhod di maine
Posted on: November 2, 2008
“Shraafat” must be one of the first movies where Dharmendra and Hema Malini were paired together, and they soon became the number one pair of Bollywood movies.

Gore nahin hum kaale sahi
Posted on: October 26, 2008
In Bollywood masala songs, there is this typical situation where the hero must enter the high security den of the villain. The hero makes it to the den in disguise and the villains are unable to identify, despite his disguise often being nothing more than a thin moustache.
