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: January 2009
http://partiessareesandmelodies.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. S soundtrack creates a great mood inspired by romanticism, a certain "attractive despair", as I could name it, that is characteristic of a time in Hindi cinema, (and as far as I know maybe to other Indian cinemas as well) called the 40's. But this being 1948, I could also blame this "depression" on. Besides the classic sad song, some of Mela's most memorable tracks are, one of Mohd. Rafi's first big breaks with the song ' Yeh Zindagi Ke Mele. For the track ' Phir Aah Dilse Nikli.

Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Kalyanji Anandji: Upkar (1967). Even though I do not admire Manoj Kumar as an actor, I appreciate the films he has directed. Upkar. As a film, is very evident in theme yet it’s experimental in its photo direction. And this is particularly evident in the song sequences with even make the music more notable (and sadly not the other way around). On the side of the Indian simpleton with superior moral values is the patriotic song " Mere Desh Ki Dharati. I dare you not to dance! Sharuk...

Friday, February 12, 2010. Satyajit Ray: Shakespeare Wallah (1965). While many westerners know Satyajit Ray as a director, most famously for his Apu Trilogy. The famous Bengali also gained some recent popularity as a composer with Wes Anderson's 2007 film. The soundtrack for the film holds five compositions of his. You can also see a homage to Ray in the film as a painted portrait on the train (I posted the screencap at the bottom of the page.) One of the tracks featured on. I am looking for a film docum...
