I had mentioned it three days ago that India was in the final of world cup cricket and the nature of songs to be posted by me was going to depend on the outcome of the final. Many readers hoped that they would get to see happy songs in the blog after the final.

Though I have heard about movies called “Daag”, I was not aware of a movie called “Bedaag”. But yes, there is indeed one such movie that was released in 1965. Unlike “Daag”(1952) which had Dilip Kumar and Nimmi and “Daag” (1973) which had Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore,”Bedaag”(1965) did not have the reigning superstar of the day in its cast. This movie had Manoj Kumar and Nanda in lead roles.

This is my first attempt at writing anything more than a couple of sentences on the Internet, and the thought fills me with trepidation. In a rash moment, I practically offered to do one for this blog, and so here I am, penning a few thoughts down, and hoping that I don’t sound like a rambling old idiot!

I have not seen “Wo Kaun Thhi” (1964) but I know that Manoj Kumar and Sadhana were the lead actors in this movie. Knowing Hindi movies, the lead duo in Hindi movies must fall in love and sing romantic duets. I have posted as many as five songs from this movie and I just realised that none of these songs were romantic duets picturised on the lead pair. There were songs picturised on them, but those songs were solo songs sung by Lata (and lip synced by Sadhana). In other words, Manoj Kumar did not get to lip sync in the songs picturised on Manoj Kumar and Sadhana.
