We saw a sizzling musical show called Sadabahar Dharmendra yesterday (16 May 2026) at Pune. It was a great evening filled with memories of an evergreen hero who came from Punjab and won the hearts of many, including a Dream Girl. Some great songs were sung.. 4 very good singers, Ali Husain, Makarand Patankar, Swarada Godbole and Radhika Atre. Saira was the compere, and did a good job of it. Pics-
How would a Hyderabadi lyricist have approached the following?
Kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna? Chhodo bekar ki baton mein kahin beet na jaye raina?
My guess- Kuchh to bolinge logaan, apan kaiku sunna? Bekar ke baataan hai, raataan kaiku kharaab karna?
Kehna hai, kehna hai, aaj tumse yeh pehli baar tum hi to layi ho jeevan mein mere pyar pyar pyar
and its equivalent- Kabse ki bolna bolke sochrun tha, tumich laye meri zindagi mein pyar bolke.
-Main na bhoolunga, in rasmon ko in kasmon ko in rishte naaton ko..
Maybe this-Kabbi nahin bhooltun, ye rasma, yeh kasma, ye rishte, kuch bhi nahi bhooltun.
Aloo ki bhaji, baingan ka bharta bolo ji bolo kya khaoge
probably, Kya khate bolo, baingan ke baataan mat karo, bolrun main.
The title is inspired by the English film I saw called Romancing the Stone-very entertaining film. But this is about Hindi film songs. We have a huge number of romantic songs in our films. Recalling a few on the occasion of Valentine's Day (need an excuse, that's all).
Choodi nahi yeh mera dil hai..
O mere dil ke chain
Aaja sanam madhur chandni mein hum tum
O mere sona re sona re sona re
Wada karo jaanam, na chhodoge yeh daaman, zamaana chahe chhoote
Bekhudi mein sanam uth gaye jo kadam, aa gaye paas hum
Tumko mere dil ne pukara hai bade naaz se..
Tum mile pyar se mujhe jeena gawara hua
Piya piya piya mora jiya pukare
Meri neendon mein tum mere khwabon mein tum..
Chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko nazar nahin churana sanam
Main kahin kavi na ban jaun tere pyar mein ae Kavita
Saw the third and final part of this film in a theatre. Good acting, direction. Keeps you gripped, and the suspense is so good it can go ei...
