One of the category of Bollywood songs that I post in this blog are “rain” songs. Quite a few of these rain songs are picturised on Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz. So I may as well open a further sub category of rain songs viz Rajesh Khanna-Mumtaz rain songs. And all these songs are simply out of thius world.

“Mehboob ki Mehandi” was a Rajesh Khanna movie of 1971. It had lyrics by Anand Bakshi and music by Laxmikant Pyarelal. So one can guess that this movie must have some lilting music. And indeed that is how it was.

There were quite a few songs containing “Zindagi” in their lyrics those days, and almost all of them were very popular songs. In fact, it was like each one of these songs gave a different interpretation of “Zindagi”. Some song would call “Zindagi” “ek paheli”, some would call it a “naatak”, some would call it a “khel” etc.

“Prem Nagar” (1974) was a movie where the reigning male superstar and the biggest female star were brought together in the same movie for the first time. Perhaps the hype was too much, or may be the contents were not good enough. Whatever the reasons, this movie failed at the box office despite the presence of Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini.

I know an acquaintance who would casually go to a “paan” shop, buy “paan” and talk to the “paanwaala” in an UP Bhaiyya style. If he saw a Baraat coming up with the Baraatis dancing, he would nonchalantly join the Baraat and dance a few jigs himself.

This song is a festival song, a “holi” song to be precise. Everyone is seen with some gulaal applied on their faces, and Rajesh Khanna is seated with Asrani. Rekha, with gulaal applied on her cheeks as well, comes with a lota full of bhang and pours Asrani some of it. Rajesh Khanna also proffers his glass forward. Rekha, not interested in pouring him the intoxicant, thrusts the lota on Rajesh Khanna’s hands and departs on a huff, only to be stopped on her tracks when a song begins.
