For many movie watchers, Meena Kumari and Raj Kumar epitomise tragedy roles. And if they are there together in a movie, then one may be justified in fearing the worst, viz ‘Kaajal” (1965).

I am fond of saying that Bollywood movies have one great “Chitthi” (letter) song every decade, beginning from 1960s. Thus we had Likhe jo khat tujhe(Kanyadaan)(1968) in 1960s, Daakiya daak laaya(Palkon ki chhaon mein)(1977) (Palkon Ki Chhaaon Mein” in 1970s, “Chitthi aayi hai aayi hai” (Naam) in 1980s and Sandese aate hain(Border)(1997) (Border) in 1990s. All these songs are already posted in this blog.

I was not aware of this song from “Kavi” (1954) till today. It is only when a regular reader of this blog (Dr. Rashmikant Vyas) informed me about this song that I have listened to this song for the first time just now. What a lovely song !

Here is a lovely song from a mythological movie called “Veer Bhimsen”. As the name suggests, this movie was from the epic “Mahabharat”, and considering that it was about Bhim, one can guess that Dara Singh must have played the title role. Yes, that is correct. This movie had Dara Singh, Randhawa, Mumtaz, Mahipal, Anita Guha etc in this movie.
