Before the advent of television and internet, Radio Ceylon (later Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation) and Vividh Bharati were the main sources of listening to Hindi film songs. In respect of old Hindi film songs, it was observed that while Radio Ceylon specialised in broadcasting film songs of 40s and 50s, Vividh Bharati’s broadcast was more pronounced towards the songs of late 50s and 60s. Accordingly, during those days of radio, I had categorised songs into ‘Radio Ceylon’ songs and ‘Vividh Bharati’ songs depending upon where these songs were heard the most. 😀

There are some Hindi film songs, especially of early 50s, which have been in my memory bank since childhood and those includes the songs from “Hum Log” (1951). Two songs of this film viz. Chali jaa chali jaa chali jaa and Chhun chhun chhun baaje paayal (Ham Log) were very popular when the film was released. Those days, these songs were quite often played over loudspeakers in my neighbourhood.

This song is a well known song and I believed that this song was already covered in the blog but I discover that I was wrong. That way, this song belongs to the popular category of the blog, viz “What ! This song was not yet posted !” category. 🙂

I have mentioned in the past that most movie songs that we get to listen to are from movies that were released. But there are cases when a movie fails to get released but a few of its songs get released and some of them even become popular.
Then there are some cases when the movie as well as the songs remain unreleased for decades, before someone decided to release the audio of the songs from the still unreleased movie.

If new year is the day of making resolutions (only to give them up after a few days 🙂 ), then last day of the year is the day of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new year, hoping that the new year would bring in better luck than the previous year. Let bygone be bygones and let us make a new beginning- that is the sentiment on this occasion.

Sabhi sukh door se guzren

“Aarambh” (1976) is a recent movie by the standards of this movie which swas released at a time when I was at my precocious best as a follower of Hindi movies, but even I failed to notice anything about this movie at that time. So this movie must have been a big failure at the box office. This movie had a “star” cast of names like Rakesh pandey, Rama Vij, Kishore Kapoor, Vipin Gupta. These names did not ring any bells those days nor do they ring any bells today. In other words, movie with “star” cast was doomed to fail.
