What are the odds of you walking on a beach and stumbling upon gems every few steps ? Well, I have been exploring Bollywood music and I am coming across gems after gems. In some cases, I at least knew the names of the movies, and in some cases, I was not even aware about the name of the movie. And when I listen to these songs, I am amazed to find that these songs are lying forgotten.

Has anyone heard of this movie called “Dil Aur Mohabbat” ? I had not. But when I started digging, I found that it was a movie released in 1968 where Joy Mukherjee and Sharmila Tagore had played the main roles.

Shammi Kapoor on the screen, Rafi as the playback singer, O P Nayyar as the music director. This deadly composition came together for “Kashmir ki kali” and the result was an all time great musical extravaganza.

It is an incredibly romantic and sensuous song. And all this effect is created thanks to the voices of Asha Bhonsle and Rafi. And the lyrics by Shailendra are incredibly imaginative. Shankar Jaikishan’s music is awesome of course.

Here is a Laxmikant Pyarelal song full of verve and enthusiasm. Such songs were typically the preserve of Asha Bhonsle, but this particular song has been sung by Lata and Minoo Purushottam, and the result is a song that was very popular during its days.

“Chupke Chupke” was a lighthearted movie where some leading names in Bollywood were assembled and the result was a nice comedy. In a way, this movie was a forerunner of later day movies viz “Golmaal”, “Jaane bhi do yaaron” etc.

“Ye Gulistaan hamara” was a Dev Anand movie that few people remember today. The movie itself sank without a trace.
Ironically, this movie had a better storyline than some of the rubbish Dev Anand movies that met with better fate at the box office. May be the movie deserved it because Dev Anand in any case would not bother much about authenticity of picturisation in his movies.

Kisi raah mein kisi modpar

I have posted different kind of songs in this blog. There is one big category of songs which are sung atop some mode of transportation viz car, train, boat etc. I have noticed that Jeetendra, the jumping jack takes the cake when it comes to singing songs atop different modes of transportation. In addition to the usual modes of man made transportations, he has sung song atop less obvious modes of transportation too. For instance, there was one Jeetendra song sung atop an elephant. I am sure he must have sung songs riding a horse also. He may have missed singing while riding buffalo and donkey though.
