Today (26 september) is the 89th birth anniversary of Dev Anand (26 september 1923- 3 december 2011). On this occasion, here is a song from “Lootmaar” (1980). In fact this song has two versions. The first version is sung mainly by Kishore Kumar, with voices of Varsha Bhonsle and Shivangi Kolhapure also figuring. This version is lip synced by Dev Anand, Tina Munim and a kid playing Dev Anand’s son. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify this kid.
PS-Now I have read at wikipedia that this kid was Tina Munim’s real brother called Manan.

I wonder if someone has ever tried to analyse why people like some songs and not other songs. Why do some songs become timeless classic while others are forgotten after their initial run.

The first solo song that Kishore Kumar sang in his playback career was for Dev Anand in the movie “Ziddi” (1948) under the music direction of Khemchand Prakash. Then S D Burman, his mentor used his good offices to get Kishore Kumar to give plaback for Raj Kapoor in “Pyaar” (1950). But from that time onwards, Kishore Kumar sang for himself or for Dev Anand, in case it was a Dev Anand movie with S D Burman’s music direction. I can think of one more exception during 1950s though where Kishore Kumar sang for someone other than himself or Dev Anand. It was the iconic song Din hai suhaana aaj pahli taarikh hai(Pahli taarikh) (1954) which was picturised on Raja Nene.

It is said that making people laugh is serious business. Just because some people who make others laugh does not mean that they are not capable of being serious. On the contrary, such people are capable of being serious and sensitive too.
