The expressions on Nutan's face in the song are something else.
They are pure magic. Natural and lively . And in tune with Lataji's expressions of Love , longing and Joy .
Lata Mangeshkar didn’t merely sing a song—she breathed emotion into every note.
Bandini 1963 directed by Bimal Roy.
This iconic track marked a major musical reunion. Lata Mangeshkar and S.D. Burman did not work together for nearly five years due to a creative misunderstanding. This movie was their triumphant first collaboration after ending the hiatus.
Lyrics but ofcourse Shailendra.

Shakti, my top favorite, is Big B's most underrated film. Extremely restrained performance at a time he was doing crazy masala blockbusters.

This scene where he is at the crossroads of sympathy for his father against his dislike for him since childhood 🙏

Happy birthday to Vinod Rathod...a voice that had that rare ability to make every song feel larger than life!

What is your favorite song by him?

Kanjurmarg station. 2009. Month of May. I had to catch a train to go to my internship at 1 Forbes in Fort.

I was there at 7:15am so that I can an impression on my manager of day 0 by arriving early.

First train was about to come. The platform was relatively empty. By the time the train pulled up, the station was packed. I still dont know how so many people can suddenly appear in matter of 2 mins

I wasn’t able to board. Same happened with the next train.

Someone saw me and told me that the backpack should be in front. I was doing it wrong. He said, next train board with me.

The train pulled over, the station was packed again. He went behind me and started to push me. Kept pushing me till I was on the train.

Then he scolded me - don’t look back when boarding the train. “mareega ke din”

There was no place to sit, he was all chilled. He said wait till Dadar.

Dadar came. The train was empty. He sat aaram se and told me to get the shoes polished at CST. Also keep the ticket ready as this train arrival matches with TTs at the station.

Also warned me to get off the station asap as the Ambernath will arrive just 6 mins after we arrive. We are lucky as our train is Thane one. He kept saying always take the train that starts from Thane and evening train should be the one that ends at Thane.

Told me the exact the gate to get out so I can catch 11 number bus.

It was just information overflow for someone who was traveling for the first time in the locals.

But that day was also the day I learnt how random people help strangers in Mumbai

Gems of Kishore Kumar
Lal Patthar (1971)
Mesmerizing voice of Kishore for Vinod Mehra.
Musically, the song is a masterclass in emotional contrast. While the character in the film is undergoing intense internal turmoil, Shankar-Jaikishan consciously chose not to make it a slow, heavy, weeping ghazal. Instead, they gave it a brisk, upbeat, and flowing tempo. Kishore Kumar brilliantly executed this by maintaining a smiling, optimistic inflection in his voice while subtly conveying a breaking heart underneath—delivering the ultimate philosophy of "the show must go on".
This song marked the official Bollywood debut of lyricist Dev Kohli. Fresh to the industry, Kohli met music director Shankar (of the Shankar-Jaikishan duo) and admitted he had absolutely no experience writing lyrics directly to a pre-composed musical tune. Shankar patiently sat him down, explained the exact scene and character situation, and Kohli penned these immortal lines.

[Shekar Iyer @SHEKARSUSHEEL]

Everything about this lovely song is self explanatory.
Gopinath, 1948 directed by Mahesh kaul is highly regarded by film historians and has been named one of the top 50 classics of Indian cinema.
The film was the only cinematic venture produced by Brijkishore Agrawal a highly successful businessman operating on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
LP drew inspiration from this melody for 'yashomati mayya se' in SSS. Thanks Upjeet @Upjeet7 for this rare masterpiece.

Khubsoorat 1980
remains one of Bollywood's most beloved family entertainers.
Hrishikesh Mukherjee conceived and made the film specifically for Rekha, who was one of his all-time favourite actresses.
Rekha wore her iconic double pigtails throughout the movie, a look she loved so much that she later reused it in another Hrishikesh Mukherjee film, Jhoothi.
She was just 25 when she shot for the movie.
Dina Pathak and Ashok Kumar were an absolutely adorable pair in the movie.
Music was by RD with lyrics by Gulzar.

[Shekar Iyer @SHEKARSUSHEEL]

Namkeen 1982
Directed by Gulzar
Rekha was originally cast as Nimki and even filmed scenes before being replaced by Sharmila Tagore.
Deepti Naval was originally slated for a role but was replaced by Kiran Vairale.
The movie's filming schedule faced disruptions and delays because Sanjeev Kumar suffered a heart attack.
Music R.D.Burman
Despite its poor commercial run and limited initial theatrical release, Gulzar has frequently referred to Namkeen as a deeply personal project for which he holds a special "soft corner," comparing it to a child left behind in a race.

A few days back, one very old friendship chapter ended in my life.

A friendship of 40 years came to an end, and the irony was that both of us knew this was probably going to be our last face to face meeting and conversation.

We greeted each other, had tea and biscuits, shook hands, and then he came down from his office to see me off. And that was it. He went back upstairs and I left, carrying with me 40 years of a friendship that had ended at that very place.

I won't go into the details of why we had to part ways. Some things don't need any explanation in public.

But perhaps the funniest part is, that I felt relieved after leaving.

And frankly speaking, that relief says a lot more than I ever could by explaining why this happened.

Forty years is a long time. There are memories, good times, difficult times, and a lot of history attached to a friendship that old. But sometimes, despite all of that, you reach a point where you know that a chapter has run its course.

And perhaps some chapters in life do need to be closed by our own hands.

This was one of them.

Have you ever had to make a decision like this?
