“Vidya” (1948) must be one of the first movies in which Suraiyya and Dev Anand were paired together. And this movie was a musical blockbuster too.

Somehow, “Teen Deviyaan” (1965) has gone under represented in this blog, though this movie boasts of several fine songs. One reason why I have not posted most of them could be that I did not get to listen to the songs of this movie when I was growing up and therefore I am not much familiar with these songs.

There have been three movies called “Ziddi” over the years that I am aware of. These movies were released in 1948, 1964 and 1997. “Ziddi” (1948) and “Ziddi” (1964) have some very fine songs and I have posted songs from both these movies in this blog. The 1997 movie of this name is not noted for any great songs, rather this movie is known for a dialogue of Sunni Deol, that went- “ye dhaayi kilo ka haath jab kisi pe uthta hai to wo uthtaa nahin, uth jaata hai” (when this 2 1/2 kilo fist comes down upon someone, he cannot get up, he can only go up). 😉 It is not music for the ears of the baddies, that is for sure.

“Anuraag” (1972) was not a movie that stood much of a chance at the box office, given its serious topic (blind heroine) kept majority of movie watchers away from this movie. The songs of this movie had no such handicap, however, and the songs were all runaway hits.

“Bewaqoof” (1960), as the name suggests, was a comedy movie which unfortunately has been forgotten with time. This movie had Kishore Kumar and I S Johar as lead actors cum comedians. Mala Sinha was also there in this movie.

I was not aware about this movie called “Jyoti” (1969). This was obviously a movie that sank without its trace and the songs of this movie suffered as a result too.
