I was under the impression that I had posted nearly all the songs of “Aawaara” (1951) in this blog. But I was wrong, There are still songs from this movie that need to be posted.

When I was a kid and I used to listen to songs on Radio, I thought that all the songs being broadcast on radio were being sung live by the singers. So I thought that singers whose songs were broadcast so frequently were so overworked, having to sing live so often !

(The review of this song is written by Raja,a regular visitor of this blog and a fellow enthusiast of Bollywood music)
Hindi Films in the early 1970s could be clearly divided into two categories : “Rajesh Khanna” films and “Others”.
Such was Rajesh Khanna’s domination that unless you were a name already (like Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor or Sanjeev Kumar), it was tough for another hero to compete with the Rajesh wave. Ageing heroes like Rajendra Kumar and Biswajeet began getting rejected, aspiring heroes like Rakesh Pandey and Romesh Sharma began getting dejected. You needed tremendous staying power, patience and a lot of luck to ride through those times. Ask Amitabh Bachchan who had a string of flops till Dame Luck smiled on him, with the lead role in Zanjeer falling into his lap with Dev Anand rejecting it.

I was not aware about this movie called “Poonam” (1952). Once I became aware of this movie and I began to search for songs of this movie, I found that almost all these movies were sung by Lata and they were picturised on Kamini Kaushal as dance songs.

I have just realised that I have not posted even a single song from “Aankhon Aankhon Mein” (1972). When I was growing up, the songs of this movie were all over the loudspeakers and radio, and kids like me simply loved these songs. In my case, I enjoyed listening to those songs despite being unaware about the movie those songs were from.

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.

The title of this movie called “Ek Phool Chaar Kaante” (1960) looks traditional enough, but I am only just discovering that the music of this movie was anything but the usual stuff.

Most Bollywood songs only involve desi actors and foreigners are sadly left out. Considering that there is so much interest about Bollywood movies among non desis too, it is time they too should be made to feel at home in these movies. Gori girls in Bollywood movies too have the right to be teased and made passes at.
