Jai ho for now.

Arzoo and Mere Humdum Mere Dost

Both are movies from the sixties. I remember watching one in a theatre and the other in an open-air screening in which our club in Singareni Collieries specialised. This was a unique experience in itself, but this is to reminisce about the songs. The stories were probably not great, formulas popular for the period, but the songs were memorable, and made an impact on our impressionable minds. The not-so-impressionable mind still remembers some of these.

Arzoo had 'Aey Nargise Mastaana', and  'Aey Phoolon ki raani bahaaron ki malika tera muskuraana ghazab ho gaya', both sung by Mohammed Rafi and picturised on the so-called Jubilee (Rajendra) Kumar. Also two good Lata Mangeshkar songs, all written by Hasrat Jaipuri- 'Ajee Rooth kar ab kahaan jaiyega'...and 'Bedardi balma tujhko mera man  yaad karta hai.' Music was by Shankar Jaikishan.

Mere Humdum Mere Dost had 'Na jaa, kahin ab na jaa, ..' and 'Chalkaye jaam, aaiye aapki aankhon ke  naam' in Mohd. Rafi's voice for Dharmendra, and 'Chalo sajna jahaan tak ghata chale' and 'Allah, yeh ada kaisi' in Lata's voice. Music was by Laxmikant Pyarelal. Lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
