MUSIC #68: JANE ANJANE 1971 (HINDI OST)

Jane Anjane (Friends and Strangers) is a 1971 Bollywood movie directed by Shakti Samanta and stars Shammi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna and Leena Chandavarkar. You can catch a review of this film, posted simultaneously on BOLLYWOOD DEEWANA.

The soundtrack to Jane Anjane is composed by Shankar Jaikishan and lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri, S. H. Bihari and Gulshan Bawra. This is one great album, with nearly all the singing heavy weights of Bollywood lending their voices to this soundtrack – Asha, Lata, Rafi, Kishore, Manna Dey and Sharda. There is bound to be something here for everyone.

I personally like Ram Kasam (Asha just shines here), Teri Neeli Neeli Ankhon Ki (one of Rafi-Lata best duets in my opinion), Jane Anjane Log Mile and Cham Cham Baje Re Payaliya. I give this album 4.5 stars

MUSIC #58: JHUK GAYA AASMAN 1968 (HINDI OST)

Jhuk Gaya Aasman (The sky has relented) is a 1968 movie starring Rajendra Kumar and Saira Banu. It was directed by Lekh Tandon with music by Shankar Jaikishan, and lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri, Shailendra and S.H Bihari (see the back of the LP cover for the listing)  . The film is a remake of the Hollywood film "Here comes Mr. Jordan (1941)". It performed "below average" at the box office but did rather well musically.

The most notable song from this movie would be "Kaun Hai Jo Sapnome" an outright copy of the song "Marguerita", an Elvis Presley song, from his movie "Fun In Acapulco" (see my posting HERE). It is one of my favs from this album, along with "Kahan Chal Diye" and "Unse Mila Nazar". I give this OST 3.5 stars.
