Saat rang mein khel rahi hai

On the occasion of Holi today, which is the fourth Holi for this blog, here is a Holi song from “Aakhir Kyon” (1985). The time from 1980s onwards was when my period of blackout from Hindi movies had begun, so it comes as no surprise that I am not much familiar with the music of those days. Personally I came across this Holi song just now and I found it quite a hummable and danceable song.

I have discussed two songs from a movie called “Aankh Michauli” (1962). It turns out that there was another movie of the same name that was released one decade later. This movie, “Aankh Michauli” (1972) had Rakesh Roshan, Bharti, Om Prakash, Kamini Kaushal, Jagdeep, Farida Jalaal, Joginder, Purnima etc. in it.

Many of the songs I have posted on this blog so far have been songs of the 1970s. I will not be so presumptuous as to claim that these songs are any better than songs of another decade. Every decade has produced its memorable songs and many would consider the golden period of Hindi film music to have started already in the 1940s/50s.

Aankhon aankhon mein baat hone do

In early 1970s, Hindi movie songs were becoming daring and we had many songs in those days where the lyrics were far too direct and to the point, instead of beating about the bush.

Teri umar naadaan hai

(The review of this song is written by Raja,a regular visitor of this blog and a fellow enthusiast of Bollywood music)
Hindi Films in the early 1970s could be clearly divided into two categories : “Rajesh Khanna” films and “Others”.
Such was Rajesh Khanna’s domination that unless you were a name already (like Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor or Sanjeev Kumar), it was tough for another hero to compete with the Rajesh wave. Ageing heroes like Rajendra Kumar and Biswajeet began getting rejected, aspiring heroes like Rakesh Pandey and Romesh Sharma began getting dejected. You needed tremendous staying power, patience and a lot of luck to ride through those times. Ask Amitabh Bachchan who had a string of flops till Dame Luck smiled on him, with the lead role in Zanjeer falling into his lap with Dev Anand rejecting it.

Gayaa bachpan jo aayi jawaani

I have just realised that I have not posted even a single song from “Aankhon Aankhon Mein” (1972). When I was growing up, the songs of this movie were all over the loudspeakers and radio, and kids like me simply loved these songs. In my case, I enjoyed listening to those songs despite being unaware about the movie those songs were from.

Dil haay meraa dil

I have mentioned the fact that I was aware of the songs of “Paraayaa Dhan” (1971) and I enjoyed listening to them but I was not aware about the name of the movie. It is only after I opened this blog that I became aware that those much loved songs were from “Paraaya Dhan” (1971).

“Aapke Deewaane” (1980) is a movie that had some nice songs in it. This is one of the few movies I recall where Rafi and Kishore Kumar sang together. It was perhaps for the last time that the two sang together, since Rafi died shortly thereafter.

Roshan was a star and his grandson Hrithik Roshan is a star, but Rakesh Roshan, the father of Hrithik Roshan, was at best a middling actor, who somehow managed to make both ends meet. His career was floundering most of the time, and some timely hits would often revive his sagging fortunes.

“Ek Kunwaari Ek Kunwaara” (1973) is not a movie too many people have much knowledge about. I watched the video of a song from this movie recently and I found that it had a nice party song in it.
