I have posted a few songs in this blog that I call “chitthi” songs. In all those songs, the words “chitthi”, “daakiya” or “sandeshe” was mentioned prominently. These chitthis were written by near and dear ones staying in far flung areas.

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.

“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.

In this song, he dons the garb of a gurkha.

Socha tha pyaar hum na karenge

Listening to this Mukesh song all these years without any additional information, I thought that this song had all the attributes of a Raj kapoor song. It was sung by Mukesh, lyrics looked Shailendra like and music appeared Shankar Jaikishan like, and I was sure that the song was picturised on Raj Kapoor.

Ye sama sama hai ye pyaar ka

One associates sensuous and seductive songs with Asha Bhonsle rather than Lata. So it comes as a surprise to note that even Lata has sung such songs and has sung them just as well as Asha.
