Seeing that India has won the cricket world cup 2011, I, like millions of my countryman, am walking on cloud nine at the moment. The hangover will take a while to go away. The fact that the match was played on saturday and the next day was sunday certainly helped a lot. Some hangover is still there even today on monday.

Kishore Kumar, who made his debut as a playback singer in 1948 remained on the fringes for the first two decades of his singing career. It was in 1968 that he burst into the Hindi playback scene like a Tsunami that swept away everything in its wake.

There are occasions when one listens to songs and likes them without being aware of the name of the movie the song belongs to. In fact there are some movies that manage to remain non descript and obscure despite containing some really fine songs in it.

Think of Sheikh Mukhtar, the hero of so many ‘Dada’ and ‘Ustad’ movies, the proverbial angry young man of the 50s and 60s ‘B’ screen Hindi movies long before Amitabh got that tag in the 70s and 80s. Now think of the same he-man in a skirt dress and bob cut hair? And dancing the twist, and pat-a-cake, no less?

Do bechaare binaa sahaare

In the early 1970s, when I was growing as a pre teen kid, I used to listen to Hindi movie songs and I longed to watch the movies containg these songs. The movies that I wold have dearly loved to see those days, since I loved their songs, were “Seeta Aur Geeta” (1972) and “Victoria No. 203” (1972). But unfortunately I could never see these two movies at that time. That remains a big regret of my life to this day.

I have discussed two songs from a movie called “Aankh Michauli” (1962). It turns out that there was another movie of the same name that was released one decade later. This movie, “Aankh Michauli” (1972) had Rakesh Roshan, Bharti, Om Prakash, Kamini Kaushal, Jagdeep, Farida Jalaal, Joginder, Purnima etc. in it.

A couple of days back I got to see the movie Naughty Boy (1962). It is a comedy starring Kishore Kumar and Kalpana (often remembered as the heroine singing “main chali main chali” with Shammi Kapoor in Professor, or the object of Dev Anand’s “arrey yaar meri tum bhi ho ghazab” in Teen Deviyan).

In many of my posts I have talked about Rafi saab. And that is because I just love his voice. It goes straight to my heart. Apparently, from all accounts, he was also a simple, generous human being – and this only adds to the reason why I have extremely high regard for him.
