MUSIC #95: LOOTERA 1965 (HINDI OST)




Today's offering is Lootera, a 1965 soundtrack from Laxmikant-Pyarelal and lyrics by Anand Bakshi (except for Raat Se Kaho Ruke Zara' which is by Asad Bhopali). This is a request from Gabrujat.

I have to admit I cannot remember listening to any of these songs as a child and the only reason I have this record is because it was on a list of freebies to choose from my record purchases. But having said this, I really do not mind the songs and they do keep in the tradition of the songs during the arly and mid 60s. I guess one has to hear them a few times to truly appreciate the songs. I let you be the judge of it. I give this soundtrack 3.5 stars.

MUTTERINGS #69: LATEST EP ACQUISITIONS AND VINYL COLLECTION



These arrived in the mail today. Can't wait to listen and rip them but a bit disappointed I can't seem to find the titles in LPs. Does anyone know if these were produced in LPs or better still have them and could share the rips? Do let me know.
 


This is my collection thus far, with another 200 hundred yet to be alphabetised and slotted onto the shelves and over 3000 records yet to be catalogued. I can't wait to retire and get stuck into ripping all my vinyls but unfortunately I have over 20 more years to go. Unless I win lottery....woo who. Wouldn't that be lovely????

MUSIC #92: CHORI CHORI 1956 (HINDI OST)



Chori Chori (Secretly), released in 1956, was directed by Anant Thakur and stared the great combo of the era, Raj Kapoor and Nargis Dutt. The movie is said to be inspired by the Hollywood movie “It Happened One Night” and would later inspire another Bollywood movie,” Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin” which starred Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt.

The music was composed by Shankar-Jaikishan (SJ), who won the Filmfare Best Music Director for the soundtrack. The lyrics were a joint effort between lyricists Harat jaipuri and Shailendra, both achieving hits with their songs Aaja Sanam and Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi, respectively (which happens to be my favourite too). In my opinion, SJ’s decision to have Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar sing most of the mellow tracks in the movie was an excellent choice. Manna Dey just brought the music and the lyrics to life. The more upbeat tunes from the movie were sung by Mohammad Rafi.
