I guess there will be more of this series. I haven’t watched some of these movies, so there will be fewer notes.
- “Chahunga Main Tujhe”, from “Dosti” (1964).
- “Yeh Jeevan Hai” from “Piya Ka Ghar” (1972): Another song in it (““Ye Zulf Kaisee Hai””) is also sweet.
- “Mera Raja Beta” from “Anuraag” (1973): There are 2 versions of the song, the happy one is very sweet and the sad one is heartbreaking in the context of the scene.
- “Tere Mere Hoton Pe” from “Chandni” (1989): I liked this movie when I saw it, but can hardly remember the story unlike many movies from the same period. But the songs are still pretty good. Another one is “Lagi Aaj Sawan”.
- “Morni Bagha” from “Lamhe” (1991): The first half is excellent with both a good story and great songs, but the second half goes downhill. Not sure why it is a cult classic because the change of pace and emotions in the second part makes the movie fall down on its face. This song perhaps epitomizes the movie as it too goes wobbly at the end.
- “Tum Bhi Chalo” from “Zameer” (1974): I don’t remember much of this movie other than it is kind of the opposite of Lamhe, where it started poorly, but ended on a high note. But my memory could be failing me here.
- “Zindagi Imtehan Leti Hai” from “Naseeb” (1981).
- “Thoda Hai Thode Ki Zaroorat Hai” from “Khatta Meetha” (1978): Some rotten acting, but the song itself is good.
- “Kuchh Dil Ne Kaha” from “Anupama” (1966): Another great song from the same movie is “Dheere Dheere Machal”.
- “Aane Se Uske” from “Jeene Ki Raah” (1969)
- “Chhup Gaye Saare Nazaare” from “Do Raaste” (1969): The popular songs of this movie have little to do with the main plot.
