Kisiki Muskuraahaton Pay Ho Nisaar – Anari

I haven’t seen Anari but I really like this song. The lyrics are superb. Over all, it’s a mind-blowing song. It makes you think for days & even years…And a day comes when you realize that love for humanity is much above everything. Love is really supreme. Helping out the needy, weak & animals definitely make you a better person. I’ve never taken such acts of kindness as love, I’ve always taken it as just kindness, but whatever it is, it never goes waste. Giving your seat in the bus to an older person or helping out a disabled person on the road, or giving food to animal…everything has value. 

I’ve also never liked Raj Kapoor. Even though I must admit that he seemed to have an open mind. He has made movies on such subjects that people are not even capable of understanding today…in fact they don’t even notice such disparities & discrimination. However, he looks kind of fake in this song :P I admire his thinking, but I can’t admire fake expressions. 

I’ve always been fascinated by the line: 

“Kisike waaste ho tere dil mein pyaar 

Jeena issi ka naam hai” 

It’s not just love for a man or woman, it could be love for anyone or anything. As long as you are capable of experiencing this emotion, life is by all means worth living. 

Even these lines are superb: 

“Mitte jo pyaar kay liye woh zindagi 

Jaley bahaar kay liye woh zindagi 

Kisi ko ho na ho hamein tou aitbaar 

Jeena issi kaa naam hai” 

What an attitude! Believing in the good will eventually lead to good things I suppose. I think whatever you do, whether you get positive results or not, you should never regret doing a good deed. 

Last stanza is just awesome: 

“Rishta dil say dil ke aitbaar ka 

Zinda hai hameen se naam pyaar ka 

Kay mar ke bhi kisi ko yaad aayenge 

Kisi ke aansuon mein muskuraayenge 

Kahega phool har kali se baar baar 

Jeena issi kaa naam hai” 

Love can never go waste. It’s a beautiful feeling. Even I’ve written a number of times that I somehow I don’t believe in love anymore. It has dawned on me that I had been wrong. There is nothing wrong with love. We confuse it with all the negative stuff owing to bad experiences. 

It’s true save a life & you save yourself. An act of kindness can never go waste. However, don’t expect gratitude. When you do good, leave it to God. We shouldn’t expect something in return. 

I don’t know about humans, but I can say it with confidence about all my pets & stray animals I know kay mar ke bhi kisi ko yaad aayenge. 

This is not directly related but recently I had the fortune to see one of the scenes of the film Yaadein. In this particular scene Jackie Shroff has reached his saturation point. He has been putting up with shit for years & the only reason behind all this is loyalty towards his friend. However, you reach a point in life where you have to speak your mind as all selfish people think you’re a coward or someone who’s running after their money & shit. He says: ‘Dil phat gaya hai mera!’ And that he wouldn’t mind slapping the elder brother of his friend, but he won’t & he even called his friend a coward who does nothing & just watches how he gets insulted right in front of him. 

I think those who have experienced it would understand it well. When your heart explodes, I guess it’s easier for you to move on. Somehow you get the strength to say what you want to say & you also make the decision that you couldn’t earlier on. Sometimes it’s really worthless to invest in certain people but we all make mistakes...at least we were willing to try. Anyhow, it’s better to let go of them. 

However, I don’t think that what you have done for the sake of goodness just goes in the gutter. It doesn’t. It defines you. I think it requires a lot of courage to give or to feel something for someone in such a selfish & materialistic world. Even if you think you’re failure, do give yourself points for being alive, cause the rest of them are living corpses. It definitely requires character to do something for someone who wouldn’t pay you back. 

Oh and Jackie Shroff is the only guy in Bollywood who’s got a really sexy voice! 

And I do hope you like the song as well. Muskesh has put life into it for sure. This song is for all times. 

And I’m sure those who believe in love will never forget: kisike waaste ho tere dil mein pyaar jeena issi ka naam hai. It’s the best kind of life. It’s better than the one wasted in envy, jealousy, gossiping, scheming & of course playing lousy games when nearly everyone is tired.

Dost Dost Na Raha, Pyaar Pyaar Na Raha - Sangam

I mentioned this particular song in one of my write-ups on Speak your mind. I’m amazed that I haven’t posted this song over here. 

I give full credit to Mukesh. There is so much pain in that voice that it touches your heart. 

Actually I have been thinking that more than enemies, so-called friends are far more dangerous. Many a times we just take that person as a good friend but right behind our back, he/she is the one who is playing games & messing up things for us. Such crimes are usually committed by best friends or friends you trust like anything. They steal away your trashy girl. Now that friend definitely doesn’t have any character if he’s trying to impress your ladylove. 

But the question is: how can one be wise while choosing friends or for that matter falling in love with trash? I believe having enemies is not so bad (who cares whether they have character or not) but having such false friends & lovers by all means is a misfortune. 

Anyhow, it’s a very beautiful song. It’s another thing it’s sad. May no one ever comes across this kind of friend or beloved, but this is wishful thinking.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya – Shree 420

Very realistic song! Deep & sad! And Mukesh, Rafi & Lata have done a good job.

Shree 420 was released in the year 1955 & it was also directed & produced by Raj Kapoor. Mera Jhoota Hai Japani became very popular in those days. I also liked the song Pyaar hua ikrar hua, cause Manna Dey has sung it but Mur Mur kay na dekh was funny cause they keep turning their heads in the entire song & actress Nadira looked very irritating & cunning in the song.

Btw, this movie was very popular in Russia & Romania.

I think Mukesh got the best stanza & you know I love these lines:

'Rasta wohee aur musafir wohee
Eik taara na jaane kahan chhupp gaya
Duniya wohee duniya walay wohee
Koi kya jaane kis ka jahan loot gaya.'

Nobody cares what you've lost & nobody gets to know how much you're suffering. Sometimes your entire world is shattered & no one is even aware of it. What's gone is gone.

Nargis was as usual crying. All I remember is that Nargis was invariably crying in every movie. She looked sad 24/7. I think you can't ever forget true love. 'Pyaar kar kay bhulana na aaya hamein' however is well said. In fact, you realize the depth of your feelings once you get to know it & what a terrible revelation this must be! However, I believe all those who have truly loved are very lucky folks. It's really like seeing ghost. People just talk about it & they don't really know as to what is true love.

I also like this stanza:

'Naino mein thi pyaar ki roshani
Teri ankhon mein yeh duniya daari na thi
Tu aur tha, tera dil aur tha
Teray mann mein yeh mitthi kataari na thi'

And this line says it all:
'Main jo dukh paun tou kya, aaj pachhataaun tou kya.' Even today we have the same problems. We get to know the solutions through movies, books, songs etc but some people only get regret in the end. Be true yourself. You can't feel this way again & again.

Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi - Chori Chori [1956]

I just couldn't believe it that up til now I haven't posted a single song of Manna Dey. The other singer is Lata. She sounded very different in her early days. Btw, Chori Chori is fun to watch. It has been inspired by It Happened One Night.

These lines are of course very touching:

'Aisay mein kahin kya koi nahin
Bhoole say jo hum ko yaad kare
Eik halki si muskaan pay jo
Sapnon ka jaan aabaad kare.'

And just in case if you haven't seen the moon tonight, it looks really nice.

Yeh Mera Prem Patr Par Kar – Sangam 1964

All I can say is that it's a beautiful song! Very romantic & sweet!

Sangam was a super duper hit & it is still considered classic even today. And they are pioneers who started off shooting in places such Paris, Venice & Switzerland. Later on it became a trend in Bollywood to use foreign locations for shooting & now they do that quite religiously in almost every movie. The story line of Sangam is okay. It's about two childhood friends & they fell in love with the same girl.

I think both Vyjatantimala & Rejendra Kumar look fine but Mr. Raj Kapoor behaves as a little boy in the song Oh Mehbooba teray dil kay pass hee meri manzil maqsood. It's a beautiful song. I just love listening to it but I can't think of watching it ever. In fact I thought about posting that song but then I changed my mind. You know Raj Kapoor looks more like an uncle & it's very irritating to see him behaving as a teenager. Anyhow, all the songs are beautiful. Dost dost na raha is very deep & painful. Har dil jo pyaar kare ga is also nice. But it hurts when Gopal i.e. Rajendra Kumar commits suicide in the end. There was no need of it but he had to make a sacrifice.

I heard a lot about this movie from my parents cause they got married in 1964 & Bol Radha Bol had been their favorite song.

Jan Jani - Naseeb 1981

This celebrity song from the 1981 flick Naseeb reminds me of the modern times Om Shanti Om in many ways. Since my childhood days, I've enjoyed watching this song thoroughly, mainly because of the stars.

I still love the song but I find Amitabh a bit funny and over in this one. Though he does look like a Naukar in the true sense :P but he sometimes looks so fake. 

My personal favorite in this video is Dharmendra, who I believe is one of the most good looking men Hindi cinema ever had. But everybody else looked awesome. Kareena's daddy was looking so cute lost in his own world. Sharmila Tagore's short hair look was not that interesting though I feel. Thus, besides Big B himself I love everything else in this video.

But all in all, a good classic. Hope you'll enjoy!

Salman Khan Pays Tribute To Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dharmendra

Salman Khan's next most anticipated movie is going to be Ready, which will be released on June 3rd. This film is directed by Anees Bazmee and one of the major attractions of the movie is going to be its song 'Character Dheela'.

In this song, Salman will be seen singing with Zarine Khan. Most importantly, Salman and Zarine will be seen portraying the famous couples from history of Hindi cinema. Thus, people are waiting anxiously to see how Salman will look as he will pay tribute to the legends of yesteryears - Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dharmendra.

As seen above, the two will be seen as Dharmendra and Hema Malini from Sholay. They will also portray Raj Kapoor and Nargis as they looked in their hit song 'Pyar hua iqrar hua' and lastly, they will play Salim and Anarkali also just like the famous jodi of Mughal-e-Azam.

Kareena Upsets Her Family

Kareena Kapoor is obviously quite into Saif Ali Khan. She cannot miss any opportunity to be with the love of her life. However, recently she has forgotten how to balance her relationships well.

Her entire family is crossed with her priorities. This was observed when the Kapoors' inaugurated a function that was paying tribute to legendary Raj Kapoor but everybody noticed that Kareena did not grace the event with her presence.

The Kapoor family attended the function but Kareena chose to be with Saif on that day. This has really upset the Kapoor clan who have always given Raj Kapoor immense respect and love.

The fact that Kareena is ignoring her own family to be with Saif is not very pleasing for her family or that is how the media is painting the picture.

Well, whatever, Kareena does is her right obviously. She is the best person to decide and set her priorities. In these matters what can we say. Yes, the balancing act is important in any relationship. I always heard Kareena is well loved by her family so it would make sense if she would support them too on major occasions. Having said that, it is still their personal matter.
