Raja, the biggest fan of this blog recalls that “meri pyari bahaniya banegi dulhaniya” seemed to be written with him in mind because of the line “Bhaiya Raja bajaayega Baja” in that song from “Sachcha Jhootha”.

I have been coming across “new” songs quite regularly these days. In one case, I even came across a Mukesh song sung for a Caribbean movie in 1970s.

Aane waala pal jaanewala hai

“Golmaal” was a light hearted movie, and I doubt that its songs were planned to be of anything more than timepass nature. But trust the Gulzar-R D Burman combination to take their jobs so seriously that they came up with this song in a timepass situation which went on to become an evergreen composition. In fact, for a long time, I used to wonder why people take this song so seriously. Finally I have shrugged my shoulders and reconciled myself to the fact that this song must be treated as a serious classic song.

Rajshri Productions movies of 1970s tended to have their music ( as well as lyrics) by Ravindra Jain, till Ram Laxman took over in 1980s. In that respect, “Uljhan”, a 1975 Rajshri Productions movie was an exception. Its music was composed by Kalyanji Anandji whereas M G Hashmat was the lyricist.

When an aged couple want to reminisce on their good old days, what do they do ? they look at old sepia tones photographs in old albums. but when it comes to filmy couples viz Dharmendra and Hema Malini, or Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, all they need to do is watch their old movies.

Sundari aay haay sundari

As Tapori songs go, this was creme de la creme of its genre which I liked a lot in 1970s. And guess what, I forgot all about this song. That is, till two days ago, when I accidentally stumbled upon this song again.And this time I realised that the song was from “Anokhi Ada”, the movie from which I have posted two songs already !

Tere jaisa yaar kahaan

I just expounded on my theory that Amitabh Bachchan tended to have quite a few “friendship” songs in his movies. In fact, the title of two of his movies themselves were friendship based- viz “Dostana” and “Yaraana”, both meaning “friendship”. Of course, there were “friendship” songs even in those Amitabh movies whose titles were different- viz in movies like “Zanjeer”, “Hera Pheri”,”Ram Balram” etc.

Barson puraana ye yaaraana

Amitabh Bachchan movies in 1970s tended to have quite a few songs about friendships. In fact, I can readily count 4-5 such songs off the cuff – from Zanjeer, Sholay etc. In fact, two of his movies containing such songs had their titles like “Yaaraana” and “Dostana”. 😉 Another actor “specialising” in movies with such titles was Shatrughan Sinha, who in addition to figuring in “Dostana” was there in “Dost” as well.
