Hum Ne Sanam Ko Khat Likha – Sakhti

What a beautiful song! Although we heard it in childhood, yet we made the same mistake as everyone does.

I don't know why did we miss the point: 'Lifafe kay liye lekin patay ki bhi zaroorat hai!'

Brilliant movie! Very cool cast! Great music!
Everything about this movie is excellent. Even the villain had class. And of course the best thing about the movie is Dilip Kumar. Raakhee Gulzar looked very nice with him. They made a very cute couple. Even Amitabh & Smita Patel looked cool.

This was directed by Ramesh Sippy & it was released in 1982. It just did average at the box office but it has been regarded as one of the best works of Ramesh Sippy & to this day, the film is considered one of the greatest flicks in the history of film industry. Moreover, it's the only movie in which Amitabh & Dilip Kumar have worked together.

I loved the dialogue when Dilip Kumar says to his son: Mujhay yeh afsoos nahin hai kay tum nay meray saath badtameezi ki. Par yeh afsoos hai kay tumhari soch kitni ghatia aur ghalat hai.

His dialogue delivery is so that one gets mesmerized every time.

Amitabh is looking very beautiful in this song. And Lata has sung it beautifully.

What a pity people don't write letters anymore :P

Anyhow, I don't know if this is the height of stupidity, cause I've done it & others have done it too...
'Hum ne sanam ko khat likha
Khat mein likha E-dilruba, dil ki gali, shahr-e-wafa.'
And we believed in it so strongly. Naturally we went through the next inevitable step:

'Barson jawab-e-yaar ka, dekha kiye hum raasta
Eik din woh khat wapis mila
Aur dakiye nay yeh kaha
Is daakh khane mein nahin, saare zamane mein nahin
Koi sanam is naam ka, koi gali is naam ki,
Koi shaher is naam ka.'

At least the woman in this song knew one thing: 'Humain bas yeh pata hai woh bohat khoobsurat hai.' The rest of us were even purblind.

Eik Rasta Hai Zindagi Jo Tham Gaye Tou Kuch Nahin – Kala Patthar

I'm madly in love with this song. It has been sung by Kishore Kumar & Lata.

Well Kala Patthar was released in 1979. It has been inspired by Chasnala mine disaster but the main plot is very similar to that of the novel Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad. But I can assure you the movie is not at all boring & a drag like Lord Jim. And all the students of Literature are supposed to read this unreadable novel even though it's not in the curriculum. It's compulsory to know certain books.

Anyhow, the movie just did average at the box office. Although it was nominated for a couple of awards, but it failed to win any. The cast was pretty huge & good. They all acted well. I would say it's a must watch, if you haven't seen it.

It's really funny when Shatrughan Sinha while playing cards says 'teesray badshah hum hain' & picks up all the money & leaves.

Coming back to the song, Shashi Kapoor looks so very cute. I think he is one the most cutest things on this planet. Actually today I woke up & I was thinking about this song.

And yeah I have been trying to explain this all my life:P

'Woh husn kay jalway hon yeh ishq ki awaazen
Azad parindon ki rukti nahin parvaazen.'

But people just don't seem to get it. Some people are like birds & they can't help it.

And I loved it even more when he says: 'Bhari rahay gi rahahguzar, jo hum gaye tou kuch nahin!'

I also liked these lines:

'Jaatay huay rahi kay saaye se simatana kya
Eik pal kay musafir kay daman say lipatana kya.'

But the important thing is: Jo hum gaye tou kuch nahin :P

I think if you want to live your life to the fullest, then this is how it ought to be:
'Eik rasta hai zindagi, jo tham gaye tou kuch nahin
Ye qadam kisi muqaam pay jo tham gaye tou kuch nahin.'

Anyhow I hope you enjoy the song.

Pyaar Zindagi Hai - Muqaddar Ka Sikandar

This clip is much, much longer but it's sure fun to watch. Mudqaddar Ka Sikander was one of the biggest hits. In fact it was a blockbuster in 1978. But it's funny when Amjad Khan was dying, he became all too friendly with Amitabh & just a minute ago, they were enemies. I just find the plot okay. The music is mind-blowing. Other songs are even better.

Pyaar say pyaar karo, yeh umer pyar ki hai,
Pyaar bina kya jeena, yeh bhi koi zindagi hai!

Well said! What else can one say except that you have the right to fall in love at any age! Actually it's how Amitabh gets jealous, which is amazing. Love is really a strange kind of thing. One turns green just like that. In this situation, his friend was in love with the woman (Raakhee) Amitabh has loved all his life. Even when it's just a crush, it's embarrassing how we get jealous just because the person is talking to some other woman & you know itna husn ki kami hoti un auraton mein...In spite of that, we turn green. That's bad.
