Abke sajan saawan mein
Posted on: November 4, 2008
“Chupke Chupke” was a lighthearted movie where some leading names in Bollywood were assembled and the result was a nice comedy. In a way, this movie was a forerunner of later day movies viz “Golmaal”, “Jaane bhi do yaaron” etc.

I may regard myself as a bollywood music buff, espdecially of songs circa 1970 or so. But there are still songs from that era which I never heard when they were first released.

Sharaafat chhod di maine
Posted on: November 2, 2008
“Shraafat” must be one of the first movies where Dharmendra and Hema Malini were paired together, and they soon became the number one pair of Bollywood movies.

“Albela” was a definitive movie in Bollywood history. Bhagwan, then a C grade movie producer, took a big risk in producing this movie which was a big step forward for him. He took a big financial risk in producing this movie, and his gamble paid off. It is another matter that he failed to replicate the success of this movie in his subsequent movies, and he went back to where he was, before this movie happened.

My regular readers may have noticed that I classify my songs based on the place where the song is picturised. Thus we have had car song, rail song, even elephant song, in this blog.
This particular song is a bathroom song by my definition because it is sung in a bathroom. Unlike most bathroom songs which are sung by amateur bathroom singers, this bathroom song is sung by no less a singer than Lata. What is more, this must be one of the sweetest and most melodious songs that Lata must have sung in her career. At least that is what I have always felt about this song.

Aaj kal mein dhal gaya

This song is a very well known song and a song that has the ability to move its listeners. Of course I am talking about the audio. I had not seen the picturisation till now. Now that I have seen the picturuisation, it turns out that the picturisation is quite moving too.

Pyaar hua hai jabse

What do I say about this song ? It was a big favourite of mine as well as that of others. But those days one could only listen what was played on radio and loudspeakers. So as a song stopped playing on these media, one tended to forget the song.

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.

Aainaa wohi rahta hai

After the mega success of Sholay, another film maker made another movie with its title beginning with “Sh..” and hyped it so much so that everyone thought that this movie was going to be the next Sholay. In addition to top Indian stars, it also boasted some international stars. But when the dust settled down, the movie had crashed with no trace of it remaining anywhere.

“Ye Gulistaan hamara” was a Dev Anand movie that few people remember today. The movie itself sank without a trace.
Ironically, this movie had a better storyline than some of the rubbish Dev Anand movies that met with better fate at the box office. May be the movie deserved it because Dev Anand in any case would not bother much about authenticity of picturisation in his movies.
