Phoolon se dosti hai

In old Hindi movies, especially those of 1950s and 1960s, we often see songs picturised on “Taanga”, also called “Tonga”, not to be confused with a country of this name. 🙂
“Taanga” was actually a mode of public transport in India those days. With time, Taanga has all but vanished as a mode of public transport in India. But they have not become extinct. One can still find them in some small towns of India. I have noticed them in small places in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh etc. In fact, one can see them in Fatehpur Sikri near Agra in UP. I recall that we (I, my wife and daughter) actually rode on a Taanga to go to Fatehpur Sikri a few years ago.

Apropos nothing in particular I just remembered of a wonderful song, that led to more songs from the same film. And on an impulse, I checked the blog. And thought, wow, this picture is not yet represented here. (Another category maybe – ‘How come this picture is not yet on this blog’).

These days I am discussing the songs of “Shart” (1954) and by now I have discussed as many as eight songs from this movie. Despite discussing so many songs from this movie, we are noswhere near exhausing all the songs from this movie. We are only around the halfway mark as far as the songs of this movie are concerned.

Here is a song from this movie. This song is sung by Geeta Dutt and chorus. I had great difficulty in identifying the actors in the picturisation. They are all familiar faces but they are so young in this picturisation that they are almost unrecognisable. Shashikala lip syncs in Geeta Dutt’s voice. Her accomplice in this picturisation is played by a thin bearded person, who is none other that I S Johar. From the picturisation, it seems that they are upto some mischief as befit the conduct of villains in Hindi movies.
