As I have written in my last post, this film Angoor (1982) is based on William Shakespeare’s Comedy Of Errors. Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma play the two pairs of twins who get separated in childhood. Both the characters played by Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Verma are named Ashok and Bahadur respectively, where the Bahadurs are servants of the Ashoks. One Ashok with one Bahadur live in one town, while the other pair lives in some other. A big confusion arises, when one pair comes to the town where the other pair lives. To add to the confusion, one pair is married, to Moushumi Chatterjee and Aruna Irani respectively, while the other is still unmarried. Deepti Naval plays the sister-in-law of the married Ashok. Now, if you are pulling your hair out of confusion, I won’t blame you! But that is the stuff, of which Comedy Of Errors is made of!

This is the first song from the film Angoor (1982) to appear on this blog. Although this film enjoys quite a popularity, the songs hardly became popular among the masses. The musical score has remained an insider’s tip for Pancham and Gulzar fans.

A few weeks ago I got a request from Avinash Scrapwalaji to do a write-up for a certain song. He sent me, by e-mail, the concerned lyrics and the videos (audio only) but, for some reason, wanted me to do the write-up.

One day, I was searching for something in the Hindi Film Geet Kosh (HFGK) by Harmandir Hamraz ji. While skipping through pages, I noticed a very peculiar thing. I sat up and started from the beginning all over again. I began from films of 1947 upto 1980 and confirmed what I had noticed.

Raaton ka Raaja (1970) is a ‘ B ‘ or ‘C’ grade movie, it seems to me, seeing the star cast of Dheeraj Kumar and Vaishali. At least Dheeraj Kumar is a known face, where as Vaishali is unknown actor. o what am I doing discussing song from this movie ? The answer is , this movie has a Rafi-Lata duet, written by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by R. D. Burman. Two songs from this movie are alreay posted in the blog.

This is the last song from the film Ajanabee. This is one of the lesser known songs from this movie. From its sound it hardly seems to be from Pancham except at times during the interludes. A common situation in Indian films for songs is where the lovers reach a village or a tribal camp on one of their rendezvous. Once there, they are persuaded by the locals to participate in their dance and song item. Sometimes the pair starts imagining themselves in the situation of the leading pair singing and dancing.

Rains have always provided a nice frame for romance and thus in Indian films we find many rain or monsoon songs. There are rain songs, where the lovers meet, there are rain songs, where one lover is pining for his/her partner or rain songs which celebrates the coming of rain after a long dry season. The latter being less romantic and more practical.

This is the last song of Doosri Sita (1974). Quite interesting to see that the film has basically only three songs. Since one of them has three versions, a person watching the film would have the effect of listening to five songs.
