The only song from “April Fool” that I was aware of was the title song “April fool banaya to unko gussa aaya”. It was only after Raja’s farmaishes that I realised that there were other songs in this movie as well. 😉

Nainon mein darpan hai

This is a duet sung by Lata and Kishore Kumar,two of the biggest names among playback singers. But the same cannot be said about the lyricist and the music director, both of whom were debutants. Maya Govind was the lyricist. She was arguably the first female lyricist in Bollywood. Bhupen Hazarika, known more for his playback singing was the music director of this movie.

I have stumbled upon yet another “new” song for me. The movie is called “aao pyaar karen”. It has Joy Mukherjee and Saira Bano as the lead actors and this is a movie from 1964, so one can safely assume that the story line has got to be similar to Shammi Kapoor movies of those days.

Ham bhi agar bachche hote

Here is a song that is a perenniel favourite of kids and grown ups both. The song is very well known but few people can tell which movie this song was from. Even I keep forgetting, but it is good that my farmaish senders make my task easier by mentioning the name of the movie with their farmaishes.

“Junglee” (1961) was in some ways the movie that launched Shammi Kapoor’s career and set the tone for the Shammi Kapoor movies with their set formula. The formula called for a debutant heroine pitted against Shammi Kapoor, Rafi singing some fantastic songs, Rajendranath as the sidekick, and the resultant movies would be lapped up by the public.

Kashmir ki kali hoon main
Posted on: December 27, 2008
Till recently I thought that this song “Kashmir ki kali hoon main” was the title song of “Kashmir ki kali”. Only when I began to research this song that I realised my ignorance. It is indeed a Shammi Kapoor song, but from “Junglee” and its music was by Shankar Jaikishan (“Kashmir ki kali” had its music by O P Nayyar).
