“Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh” (1960) is a movie about which I have become aware just a few days ago. I have no idea how this movie fared at the box office, but I am just amazed at the songs of this movie.

“Kan Kan Mein Bhagwaan” (1963) was a mythological movie, and as such movies went, it was a B grade movie. Few people remember this movie or its songs, but I find that the songs of this movie were as good as the music of any A grade movie.
