This week we come back to colour films finally. This is the title song from the movie ‘Pyar koi khel nahi‘ (Love is not a game), released in 1999. I like the music of the song although the movie is quite inconsequential and didn’t create any buzz on the box-office. With a meagre 3.3 outContinue reading “English Translation: Pyar koi khel nahi”

English Translation: Mohabbat hamari, zamana hamara
This time we travel even further back in time to 1949, to translate a song from the movie ‘Dulari‘ (beloved). As the name suggests, the movie is female centric (surprisingly) even though the female lead of the movie is just shown as an ill-fated weakling who does at times try to runaway from her suppressorsContinue reading “English Translation: Mohabbat hamari, zamana hamara”
When they talk of beauty…
Here I am back with a very old song sung by one of the most melancholy voice of Bollywood playback, Mukesh. Mukesh is well-known for singing sad songs beautifully, but once you listen to this one, you will feel that he does justice to even romantic songs equally. The song is from the 1963 movieContinue reading “When they talk of beauty…”
Is this love…
After a long gap, I am back with another song which is a permanent member of my playlist. This song comes from a not very well known movie released in 2002, ‘Kya yehi pyar hai‘ starring Aftab Shivdasani, Amisha Patel, Jackie Shroff and others. If you look at its IMDb ratings (don’t even bother), youContinue reading “Is this love…”
The promise of love
This one is a song from the famous movie ‘Sooryavansham‘. Why famous? Coz Sony Max broadcasts it almost every other day in India. Set Max’s obsession with ‘Sooryavansham’ has made it the subject of a lot of memes. Is it a really good movie though? I would rather not comment on that. In case youContinue reading “The promise of love”
If I do not get you…
Sorry for this long hiatus in my song updates. Thanks to the delay in writing this whole month, I will have to post five songs within the few next days (or as soon as possible). It took me some time to find a song fit enough to translate and one which has not been translatedContinue reading “If I do not get you…”
Down the memory lane…
This second week is dedicated to another very old song from the movie ‘Hamraahi‘ released in 1963. I have to say that the movie has a lot of beautiful songs and almost all of them are quite popular and must have been so at that time as well. The songs of this movie have aContinue reading “Down the memory lane…”
