“Love in Shimla” (1960), which predates all other “Love in …” movies in Bollwood was the debut movie of Sadhana and Joy Mukherji. And what a superb launch vehicle the two of them had got ! I have not watched the movie, but I have heard and watched a few songs of this movie, and if the songs are any indication, this movie was a great fun movie.

“Love In Shimla” (1960) has a song that is basically a recitation of the Urdu alphabet that goes “Alif Zabar aa alif zer ae alif pesh o” which is sort of like ” A se anaar aa se aam” of Hindi or “A for apple B for Bat…” in English. For one who has studied Urdu, writing down the lyrics of this song would be a cakewalk. I am not familiar with the Urdu alphabet and as a result, the lyrics of this song is Greek (rather Urdu) to me. I had planned to post this song in the past, but I could not do so mostly because I was unable to follow the lyrics.

Music plays a very important part in Bollywood movies. In many movies of the past, it is the music that helped these movies and their actors get popular with the public. That way, most of the popular actors of those days owe much of their popularity to the music of the movies they acted in.

I have listened to this song in the past and liked it too, but all this while I was totally ignorant about the details of this song. The only thing I knew about this song is that the song is sung by Rafi.

Here is a song which sounds like it belongs to a Shammi Kapoor movie. And indeed it has almost all the ingredients of a Shammi Kapoor movie except the great man himself. The movie is “Ek Musaafir Ek Haseena” (1962) which appeared on the scene almost in the same era as “Junglee”. This movie has Joy Mukherji and Sadhana in lead roles.

Ganesh was one music director who got very few opportunities as a music director, and he made the most of these opportunities. But much to his, and our misfortune, many of his songs were forgotten, since the movies were flops. These songs, though very fine songs on their own,are very difficult to come by these days.

While listening to bollywood songs, it is interesting to observe that many characters who speak in simple laguage while talking burst into a song containing flowery high sounding language. After the song is over and normality is restored, they resume their talk in plain language.

There have been three movies called “Ziddi” over the years that I am aware of. These movies were released in 1948, 1964 and 1997. “Ziddi” (1948) and “Ziddi” (1964) have some very fine songs and I have posted songs from both these movies in this blog. The 1997 movie of this name is not noted for any great songs, rather this movie is known for a dialogue of Sunni Deol, that went- “ye dhaayi kilo ka haath jab kisi pe uthta hai to wo uthtaa nahin, uth jaata hai” (when this 2 1/2 kilo fist comes down upon someone, he cannot get up, he can only go up). 😉 It is not music for the ears of the baddies, that is for sure.
