I have often tried to compile a list of male and female actors who acted together in movies before they married each other. One can think of names like Dev Anand- Kalpana Kartik, Shammi Kapoor- Geeta Bali, Randhir Kapoor-Babita, Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh, Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bhaduri, Dharmendra-Hema Malini etc.

In Hindi movies, “roothna” (sulking) is the preserve of females, and it is the male of the species who has to indulge in the act of “Manaanaa” (appeasement). I have posted many such songs like this in this blog, but it never occured to me to have a separate category for such songs.Now I have thought of this category called “sulking-appeasing song”.

I have barely heard the name of this movie called “Menhdi Lagi Mere Haath”(1962). I plead not guilty for being unaware of this movie. My defence is that this movie had Shashi Kapoor and Nanda in lead roles and that is a strong enough reason for a normal movie to end up as an obscure movie.

“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.
