I have heard of a movie called “Taangaawaala” of 1970s, but I was not aware that there was a movie called “Taangaawaali” too, which in fact came some two decades prior to “Taangaawaala”. In any case, I have not discussed any songs from either movie in this blog so far.

I have discussed as many as six songs of “Shama Parwaana” (1954) in these pages. But there are still more songs from this movie that are yet to be covered.

I have not counted the number of songs sung by Rafi for Shammi Kapoor, but it is high time I did that. There are so many of them, and it is amazing how Rafi could summon so much energy and enthusiasm every single time he had to sing a song for Shammi Kapoor. Just about everyone of these songs are gems, that have stood the test of time.

I have not discussed a Shammi Kapoor style song in this blog for quite some time. No, it is not because I have run out of such songs. There are still many such songs that are yet to be covered.

I have posted as many as seven songs from “Kashmir Ki Kali” (1964) and one may be excused for assuming that there may not be any more songs left to be posted from this movie. But then one would underestimate the calibre of music directors of those era, if one made such an assumption.

I have not kept a count of it, but I think I have posted songs from most Shammi Kapoor movies in this blog. Considering that Shammi Kapoor came into his own in 1957 with “Tumsa Nahin Dekhaa” (1957) and continued till late 1960s with the kind of movies with he is identified, he may have worked in about 20 odd typically Shammi Kapoor movies. I have posted songs from almost all these movies, in addition to posting songs from other Shammi Kapoor movies where he played other kinds of roles.

Indian folklore has some well known love stories like “Laila Majnu”, “Shirin Farhad” etc. and Hindi movie makers tend to make movies on these characters on quite a regular basis. We had quite a few movies on them from 1940s till 1970s.

Shammi Kapoor made his debut in early 1950s and for the first few years of his career he was largely a nobody. In his movies, he would try to ape the mannerisms of his elder brother Raj Kapoor.
It was with “Tumsa Nahin Dekha” (1957) that Shammi Kapoor discovered his true self. It was in this movie that we first saw Shammi Kapoor look and act like the Shammi Kapoor that we so love and adore to this day.
