Auraton ke dabbe mein mard aa gayaa

“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. Most of the songs are great comedy songs and if this movie and its songs did not do well then it is more a reflection of the lack of appreciation on the part of the audience rather than on the calibre of this movie or its songs. I can vouch for the fact that the songs of this movie are great fun and they should all be regarded as gems.

“Teasing” songs, where the hero is seen teasing the lady have been there from 1950s. And I mostly find them unrealistic. In real life, one cannot tease a girl like that in India and get away. But in Bollywood songs, the lady, after initial disapproval, begins to respond towards the later parts of the song. I find it difficult to identify with such picturisation.

I have posted nearly one hundred songs composed by Madan Mohan in this blog. Madan Mohan composed music for some 700 songs in Bollywood movies so I have posted nearly 15 % of Madan Mohan’s compositions.

When I decide to post a song, most of my time is taken to get the lyrics right. There are some people who inform me that one can get lyrics of the songs on internet. Like most well meaning (and uninformed and unsolicited) advises, this information is not backed by facts.

I have posted one song from “Miss Bombay” (1957) in the past. Today I stumbled upon another song from this song. And what a song it is ! Such a lively song ! I do not know too many songs that are this full of joie de vivre.

“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.

This movie has a rather prosaic title, viz “Mera Ghar Mere Bachche” (1960) and the actors of this movie are not all that well known. In fact the picturisation of this song had me confused. This song is a duet and the gentleman in the picturisation looked like he was apeing N T Ramarao, the telugu movie superstar of the time, whereas the lady looked like an aspiring body double of Vyjyanti Mala. Now I know that she is Naaz, also known as Baby Naaz. (I thank Mr Harshad Bhatt for helping me out with her identification). The gentleman is Subiraj.
