I have discussed six songs from “Basant Bahaar” (1956) in the past and all those were iconic songs. I thought that there were no more songs, and certainly no more iconic songs left in the movie to be discussed.

Many fans remember “Ujaalaa” (1959) as one of the earlier Shammi Kapoor kind of movie. But Shammi Kapoor was not the only lead actor in this movie. Raj Kumar was also there in this movie, and he in fact may have been the better known of the two as well.

“Around The world” (1967) which is an abbreviation of “Around the world in eight dollars” was basically a movie where Raj Kapoor and Jayshree are seen going on a world tour. Most tourists go to their destinations to watch those places and soak in the atmosphere there, whereas our lead actors go there to sing songs. 😀

When I got the farmaish for this song “Ek but banaaungaa” from “Asli Naqli” (1962) and played this song, I thought I was going to listen to the song “ek but banaaungaa tere ghar ke saamne”, but I found myself listening to a different song, viz “ek but banaaungaa teraa aur poojaa karoongaa”.

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.

Here is a song which is from 1968 when I was very much around as a keen listen of Hindi movie songs. But I never got to listen to this song. I stumbled upon this song for the first time only a few hours ago.
