I have noticed that Bollywood movies have songs for almost all occasions. There are happy songs, there are sad songs, there are party songs, there are songs of loneliness. Then there are boat songs, rain songs, festival songs etc. In fact, I have discovered some fight songs, where the hero fights villains while singing.

Beimaan baalmaa maan bhi jaa

This is a song from “Ham Sab Chor Hain” (1956). It is a movie where Shammi Kapoor( of his pre Shammi mannerisms days) is seen with Nalini Jaiwant. From the picturisation, it seems that Nalini Jaiwant enters Shammi Kapoor’s room without his permission and policemen look at her suspiciously. She calls for Shammi Kapoor (beimaan baalma). When he turns up, the policemen are satisfied and go away. Shammi Kapoor ofcourse wants nothing of her and he tries to throw her out even though she has not yet completed her singing. The protocol in Bollywood songs is, one waits for the song to end before one throws the singer out. 😉
