Searching for and finding rarities in the world of music, is a keen and interesting pursuit. The Hindi film songs have so many variants attached to their existence. Songs that appear in film, but are not released elsewhere. Songs that are on records but not included in the film. Version songs – the official song in the film and on the record, is also available on record in the voice of a different singer. This case is different from the same song sung by more than one singer and included in the film. Then we have the variations between the song published on record and the song as picturized in the film.

Or maybe it is just our laziness, or our tendency to exaggerate, that leads us to our use (or abuse) of the English language in this manner.

This blog has more than one hundred “Helen” songs. In these songs, Helen would typically perform a cabarat dance and the hero would be seated on a table in the bar where this dance is being performed. I recently begin to wonder whether one can count the number of heroes who figure in such picturisations. I can recall many names right from Ashok Kumar (Howrah Bridge-1958) to Amitabh Bachchan (several movies). Then I reminded myself that Helen had started her cabarat dancing career in 1950s when the three big heroes were Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dec Anand.

When I began to follow movies in my younger days then at that time Rajesh Khanna was everyone’s favourite actor.
