This is that kind of a song that I heard in my younger days without being aware of its details, and then forgot all about it.

Luteraa (1965) is a typical grade B action drama – a story of pirates and palaces and princesses. The main actors of this film are Dara Singh, Prithviraj Kapoor, Nishi, Helen, Hiralal, Jeevan, Maruti, Bela Bose and others. The storyline contains many threads, including brother separated in childhood, a scheming wazir in the palace who murders the king for the throne, the princess kidnapped, the pirates and what not. Given the star cast, this movie made a reasonably good impact on the box office in its time. But more than the star cast, it is the music of this movie that make it a memorable production. There are six remarkable songs by Lata, and a duet by Shamshad Begum and Kamal Barot. Of the six songs by Lata, four are dance numbers done extremely well, and the remaining two are romantic solos. The lyrics for this movie are written by Anand Bakshi, and the music is composed by Laxmikant Pyaarelal.

When one thinks of the combination of Lata, Pt Narendranath Sharma and Sudhir Phadke, then what is the song that immediately comes to mind ? Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan)(1961) ofcourse. But that is not the only song created by this team. They have created a few more.

Masti Mein Doley Jiyaa Ho

Generally as I keep locating songs online, I keep creating a draft email on Outlook with lyrics immediately transcribed. This list is generally 15 to 20 deep and so the songs that I pick up today generally end up reaching the blog for posting about 8 to 10 days later. But sometimes I come across such a wonderful melody, or an extreme favorite that I have been waiting for long, that I am generally tempted to send it along right away. That is the case with this song. And once you hear it, I am sure you will understand my urgency for forwarding it 🙂

Baandh preeti phool dor

Hindi movie music is enriched by a large number of artists. In many cases, these artists are known more by their work, rather than by their names. For instance, the name Sudhir Phadke may not ring many bells, especially with the younger generation, but just make them listen to songs like Din hai suhaana aaj pahli taarikh hai(Pahli taarikh) (1954) and Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan)(1961).
These two immortal compositions are the creations of none other than Sudhir Phadke whose birth anniversary falls on 25 july.

Ke aajaa teri yaad aayi
Posted on: July 23, 2011
When a normal human being misses his/her beloved, you expect them to bear it privately. But a Hindi movie hero/heroine missing his/her beloved decides to make a public spectacle of themselves. They quickly burst into a missing you song whose lyrics could be something like “Main yahaan hoon tu hai kahaan” or “Ab to aa jaa” etc. They go all over the town singing the song. One can expect them to be doing that in India, but imagine doing them in the streets of Venice, Italy and the local population not even batting their eyelids !

Beliyaa beliyaa beliyaa beliyaa

I came across this song a few hours ago. And I wondered where this song was hiding all these days from my view.
This is a nice club/part dance song from “Parvarish” (1958). The song is sung by Lata and Manna Dey. Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and the delightful music is composed by Dattaram.
