I mostly know only about the more popular songs of a movie and I am totally unaware about the other songs. I have been discovering that these so called less popular songs are often wonderful songs to listen to. And in some cases, these songs may even be as good or better, than the better known songs of the movie concerned.

Rafi-Shammi Kapoor songs are some of the most loved songs in Bollywood movies. Sometime ago, I had wondered what I was going to do if I run out of these Rafi-Shammi Kapoor songs to post. Well, I have posted over 2500 songs in this blog, and I find that I still have many Rafi-Shammi Kapoor songs not yet posted. So I still have lots of ground to cover.

Bollywood movies tended to have songs where the hero teases the heroine and gets away with it. Picturisation of majority of such songs left much to be desired as far as I am concerned.

In 1950s, Bollywood movies discovered the songs of the genre that I call “party song” or “club” song, where a dancer (female mostly) sings and dances while people (good people as well as villains) are hanging out.

I am fond of saying that Bollywood movies have one great “Chitthi” (letter) song every decade, beginning from 1960s. Thus we had Likhe jo khat tujhe(Kanyadaan)(1968) in 1960s, Daakiya daak laaya(Palkon ki chhaon mein)(1977) (Palkon Ki Chhaaon Mein” in 1970s, “Chitthi aayi hai aayi hai” (Naam) in 1980s and Sandese aate hain(Border)(1997) (Border) in 1990s. All these songs are already posted in this blog.

When I post songs in this blog, I am spoilt for choices. There are so many songs to post. When I think of one songs and I am planning to post it, I simultaneeously work on other songs too, and in the process, I often forget all about the song (s) that I originally had in mind. As a result, many sngs that I intended to post in the past remain unposted. This in fact has been the case with many farmaishes that I have received in the past.
