Thoda hai thode ki zaroorat hai

Though 1970 was a decade when action movies had begun to dominate, there were small time movie makers who produced small budget family entertainers sans fights and action. Rajshri Productions, the Basus ( Basu Bhattacharya and Chatterji), Hrishikesh Mukherji and some South India producers were the ones who produced such movies.
Though these movies lacked stars [...]

This song is one of those memorable and immortal songs that the trio of Madan Mohan, Lata and Raja Mehdi Al Khan created in 1960s. Most such songs were favoured by class audience, and the masses kept away. But here was a classy song that influenced even the masses. This song featured in Binaca geetmala [...]

Forget the talk of modernisation and all, when it comes to selecting life partners, Indians are ultra conservative. In olden days,parents would decide whom their kids would marry and the kids, often underage would see their spouses for the first time at the time of the wedding, and sometimes, even later.

During 1960-70s, I only wanted to listen to new songs. But with Vividh Bharati, you stood no chance, and Radio Ceylon broadcasted new songs at night only on wednesday in Binaca geetmala. So most often than not, it is songs like this Lata song that I got to hear at night. These days, I would [...]

Here is a very catchy song from a by now forgotten movie called “Banphool”. Kishore Kumar sang this song with gutso. Lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi and the music was typical racy Laxmikant Pyarelal tune.
How do I classify this song ? There are a few songs in this blog that I call “car songs” [...]
Bindiya chamkegi choodi khankegi

This is one of the iconic songs of the days when I was growing up as a young impressionable kid. This song was everywhere in 1970, blaring out from loudspeakers as well as radios.
As with most popular songs of those days, this song had appealed to all just on the merit of the audio. People [...]
Man kahe main jhoomun main gaaun

Here is a nice song from a 1980 small budget movie called “Ek baar phir”. Most people involved in this song were relatively small time artists. An upcoming Anuradha Paudwal of pre T-series vintage was the female voice and the male voice was Bhupinder Hazarika, who was around for two decades but barely got to [...]
Mere tamannaon ki taqdeer tum sanwaar do

This song from “Holi Aayi re” appeared as a solo as well as a duet in the movie. The solo song sung by Mukesh is the one that became more popular and I too like the solo song more.
Mukesh, as usual, paints a vivid picture of the feelings that the lyrics of indeewar seek to [...]
Yahan badla wafa ka bewafai ke siwa kya hai

This song is one of the oldest in this blog, and one of the most cherished one. Noorjahan makes her debut in my blog with this song. Rafi figures in this song too. This was one of the earliest hit filmy song of Rafi.
Except this song and singers, most other things about this song have [...]
