http://partiessareesandmelodies.blogspot.com/2009/09/compilation-film-favourites-of-fifties.html

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Compilation: Film Favourites of the Fifties (1962). Two songs I was glad to see "made the cut" were " Bol Ro Kath Putli. From Kath Putli and " Chali Radherani. From Parineeta because they are rarest of the bunch to find on vinyl. My favourite songs are all the ones on. In addition to Talat Mahmood's male version of " Ai Mere Dil. From the classic Daag. I like the song from Mother India but I prefer other tunes from the film. In all, it's a good record. Aaj Mere Man Me*.

Wednesday, July 21, 2010. S D Burman: Taxi Driver (1954/1977) Pakistan. Ok, ok. I actually enjoyed the. Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. I agree with Filmfare on this one, I very much enjoy Talat Mahmood's version of " Jahen To Jahen Kahan. I also admire " Dil Jale To Jale. An "almost vamp song" for Lataji with its catchy and fine swaying melody. Do like the two little. Playing instruments in the band (I just had to post pics.). Also worth a listen is " Ae Zindigi Aaj Raat Jhoom Le. 1 Asha Bhosle: Jeene Do Oji O.

Parties, Sarees and Melodies: February 2009

http://partiessareesandmelodies.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 23, 2009. S D Burman: Aradhana (1969). Is a very pleasant soundtrack! But, just when I was going to admit to finally really liking a S. D. Burman soundtrack, I found out about S. D. Burman, who was ill during the recording, who let R. D. Burman record some songs himself. The two hits " Roop Tera Mastana. And " Mere Sapnon Ki Rani. Are all Burman junior, hip and young, yet all the credit "officially" goes to S. D. Burman. Raju Bharatan, writer for the Hindustan Times, explains why this is:.

Parties, Sarees and Melodies: S. D. Burman: Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958/1989)

http://partiessareesandmelodies.blogspot.com/2009/12/s-d-burman-chalti-ka-naam-gaadi.html

Monday, February 15, 2010. S D Burman: Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958/1989). Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Is not my favourite soundtrack nor is S. D. Burman my favourite composer. None the less, this hindi comedy does have it's own charm. Kishore Kumar's " Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si. Is the best song on the record, and is today considered a classic. One of my favorite songs on the record is " Tum Tumare Hain. It's performed by the lovely Helen with her dance mentor Cukoo. 3 Kishore Kumar: Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si.

Friday, November 6, 2009. Shankar Jaikishan: Bombay Talkie (1970). Bombay Talkie is quite a find.

Vikram (Shashi Kapoor) is an aging hero stuck in an unhappy. Besides the theme variations, five, of what we can ca...
