These days I have begun to look at Rafi-Lata duets with renewed interest. My interest has been aroused after I learnt some interesting statistics about the number of duets the two have sung together. It is estimated that the duo have sung about 410 odd duets. It excludes those songs in which some other voices were also present. And it also excludes multiple version songs (viz. same song sung separately by the two).

It is an unenvious task for a music director when he is asked to create a song that should be inspired from an iconic song and at the same time it should stand out on its own. I am sure the makers of “Jab Jab Phool Khile” (1965) wanted Kalyanji Anandji to create a song similar to the iconic song Yahoo chaahe koyi mujhe junglee kahe(Junglee). It is not at all an enviable job by any stretch of the imagination.

“Ye Dil Kisko Doon” (1963) is not a well known movie as far as I am concerned. This movie had Shashi Kapoor and Raagini in it. May be that has something to do with the obscurity of this movie. 😀

When I went through the first few lines of this song (sent by nahm), I wondered what song this could be. It did not seem to ring any bells. But when i listened to the song, I immediately recognised it. I had listened to this song so many times in my younger days, but all those days I never became aware of the details of the song.

When India won the world cup on 2nd april 2011, it was a great feeling for millions of Indian cricket fans and they celebrated late into the nights and well into the next day and the next. The fact that the final was played on saturday and there were two days of holidays on the following days (Sunday being the normal holiday and monday being Indian calender’s new year day), people had enough time to celebrate and get over the hangover.

I have discussed as many as five wonderful songs from “Waqt” (1965) in the past and yet this song was not one of them ! It just goes on to prove my point that this movie, in addition to being a multi starrer, was a musical blockbuster too.

“Dharmputra” (1961) was a movie with a difference as it was a movie with a message made on a socially relevant topic. The fact that the movie did not do well does not detract from the relevance of the message.
