My readers may have noticed that my posts for the last few days have dried up. It is because these days I find myself without internet connectivity because I find myself elsewhere for a few days. Hopefully I will be able to get back to my usual activity in three days time as I get back to my usual place of stay. Till then I will only be able to post sporadically.

“Ferry” (1954) also titled as “Kishti” (1954) is a movie that had Dev Anand and Geeta Bali in lead roles. I have the VCD of this movie lying around with me , but I never bothered to watch the movie. I have just watched a few songs from this movie, and I think that I may yet get persuaded to watch the movie, if only for the songs.

I have heard of a movie called “Taangaawaala” of 1970s, but I was not aware that there was a movie called “Taangaawaali” too, which in fact came some two decades prior to “Taangaawaala”. In any case, I have not discussed any songs from either movie in this blog so far.

One normally associates Hemant Kumar’s voice and music with soft romantic/sentimental songs. But that does not mean that he could not sing /compose other kind of songs.
