There is a song in the film Aansoo aur Muskaan which is a bhajan-with a difference. It lists out a history of the film industry in a funny stanza - last one in the song. Guni jano, bhakt jano.. is the beginning of this song sung by Kishore Kumar. Check it out here if interested.

There is an excellent song in the movie Victoria No.203, itself a nice caper, picturised on Pran and Ashok Kumar that goes, "Do bechare, bina sahare, ...bin taale ki chabi lejkar phirte maare maare.." It is a zesty number. Music by Kalyanji Anandji. Check it out.

The next is actually sung by Ashok Kumar, long time ago in a movie called AAshirwad. Considered by some to be our first 'rap' song, it goes, Railgaadi...it's right here.

Yet another super Kishore duet- unusual because his co-singer is Sulakshana Pandit. Film Door ka Rahi. Listen to this haunting song at

A song that appears in the background for the hero-itself an unusual thing in Hindi films, with playback singing and music by SD Burman, who sang only a handful of songs. One of my all-time favourites- Wahan kaun hai tera, musafir, jaayega kahaan, from Guide, starring Dev Anand.

Its been a while since I read the word 'Stanza'
Do bechaare is zany and great fun. Yahan kaun hai tera is awesome. I remember it quite well even though I have seen The Guide quite a long time back. Thanks for reviving the memories, sir.
Sounds Italian, I guess, and therefore stylish..what?
Dushyant, you are welcome.
