“Ek Shrimaan Ek Shrimati” (1969) is a movie that has so many fantastic songs in it that I wonder why this movie is not all that well known. Considering how songs played major parts in the success of movies, this movie should have gone on to become a major hit on the basis of its music alone.

I have talked about “teasing” songs in Bollywood movies. In these songs, the boy typically would tease a girl outdoors. But I just realised that this teasing can take place even indoors, and that too in the presence of others. Yes, get together songs offer an ideal opportunity to the boy to tease the girl in full public glare.

In Hindi movies, boy and girl cannot get introduced in a nice and gentle manner. Their initial encounter must be abrasive, with the boy making passing at the girl and the girl not liking it a bit. A teasing song would follow, and somehow, by the end of the song, the girl would melt and begin responding to the advances.

This title song/ theme song from “Samjhauta” (1973) has gone on to become an iconic song. I was under the impression that I had posted this song already, but farmaishes from several readers made me realise that I had not posted this song so far.

I have mentioned in the past that the Bollywood movies of the past used to have their get togethers not in hotels, but in their palatial houses that every hero/ heroine used to possess. Their palatial house used to have a big hall for the purpose of these get together. And in these occasions, the hero/ heroine was required to sing a song. A grand piano was kept in the hall near the big staircase (that led to the upper floor)for the purpose of this song. The hero/ heroine, after initial nakhra, would get seated on the piano and then sing a song accompanied by music.The music incidentally would bear little resemblence to the music that normally comes out of a grand piano.
