Manoranjan (1974) was Shammi Kapoor’s first film as a director. He roped in R D Burman the reigning music director of that time to give music to his debut film as a director. Shammi Kapoor had in fact given Pancham his first biggest hit with Teesri Manzil (1966). But unfortunately Manoranjan flopped. The songs of this film were hits all the same.

Since ‘chaudhvin ka chaand ho ya aaftaab ho’ from the film ‘ Chaudhvin ka chaand ‘, no one had really attempted to recreate the magic of it. The reason is obvious that it is a tough act to follow. The beauty of that song in black n white is not comparable to anything.

Since this blog has much to do with nostalgia, I too sometimes (often) go back into the past of the blog and go through old posts of the blog. On quite a few occasions, I am myself surprised to find the contents of articlea that I had myself written. These days I no longer find time to delve deep into each individual songs and offer comments on the songs. Thoroughly exploring each and every song was a luxury that I could afford four years ago when the blog was truly one song a day blog. 🙂

The greatest of all desert song, like ‘yeh duniya yeh mehfil'(Heer Ranjha) and ‘ae dil-e-naadaan’ (Razia Sultan), are already covered in this blog. Still there are some such songs remaining to be posted, so this quest of mine. Atul ji has magnanimously started a category of ‘desert’ song, for this series. So here is song no. 3 of this series.

I grew up with the music of late 1960s and early 1970s. That was the time when R D Burman burst into the scene like a tornado. When things settled, the musical scene was totally rearranged with old order finding themselves becoming irrelevant in no time.

While Padosan (1968) is much more famous for its funny songs and “mere saamnewali khidki mein”, it has more to it than that. This Kishore Kumar solo for example often gets forgotten when people talk of the songs from this film.

This is my favourite comic song from Padosan (1968). It is simple and still so funny.

Hullo everyone
Last year on the 7th of April I sent Atul the lyrics for a song from “Kinaara”. I think that song was “Meethe Bol Bole” by Bhupinder for Jeetendra. On that day it was late night by the time I sent it to Atul. This year I have gone one step further and am sending this song as a belated celebration of Jeetendra’s birthday. I went through yesterday’s post only today and saw no Jeetu song. So then I checked out Arunkumarji’s list of songs left out from each movie and found a Happy Go Lucky song from “Caravan”.
