    Nothing better to break the ice that has formed over the last three weeks than with yet another list of songs: “Tune Jo Na Kaha” from “New York” (2009): There seems to be an epidemic of movies such as “New York” with stories of extremists from the Indian sub-continent, all shot in cities in the United States.…

    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…
