Mein or Mera Songs- The songs used to establish one's character (Part 2)

 


                                                                                 Part 2

Continuing from my earlier post, in this part, I have selected 15 very popular ' Mein or Mera' or 'Hum aur Hamara' songs of the 1960s. The first song on my list is 'Mera Naam Raju Gharana Anaam' from the 1960 film 'Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behati Hai'(1960), sung by Mukesh for Raj Kapoor. The song is sung by Mukesh and it is picturized on Raj Kapoor as a boat song. The song is an introduction song where Raj Kapoor, carrying a “Dafli” introduces himself by singing this song. This film has two more songs 'Ho Maine Pyar Kiya' and 'Hum Bhi Hain Tum Bhi Ho' in this theme.

Accordion in Hindi Film Songs

Image
  The accordion is an instrument similar to the harmonium but the way it is carried (on the shoulders), makes for a different feeling of joy. There was a time when it was a very popular instrument. It was a part of almost every song in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. It became popular with the 'Sangam' film song in which Raj Kapoor is shown playing this instrument. Well before 'Sangam'(1964), this instrument was in use, in fact, it was Naushad who introduced Accordion in the 1950 film 'Dastan' for the song    'Tara ri Aara ri' and 'Dhadak Dhadak Dil'.  C Ramchandra who used it for the first time in the song  ‘Gore Gore O Banke Chore’ from Samad hi (1951).

It is the holiest river for the people of India.    Hindi cinema has embraced it wholeheartedly, Many film titles and songs have been written on this river. Raj Kapoor had a great fascination for Ganga, he made two films with Ganga in the title Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai(1960) and Ram Teri Ganga Maili(1985) and recall the song 'Bol Radha Bol' from the 1964 film Sangam. Since the beginning of sound cinema, many songs have been written praising Ganga by almost all lyricists. The first song on Ganga as per my research was written by    Pt.

  In the 70s Dev Anand was  launching new faces, picking himself to play lead roles against actresses half his age.  This film too had Zaheeda, the niece of actress Nargis as his heroine. Though Zaheeda first appeared in Prem Pujari, she was not his heroine. To compensate for that role, she was taken as his heroine for this film.  Same was with Shatrughan Sinha who was introduced by Dev Anand in a very small role, was given a parallel role in this film. This film was released on 19th Feb 1971 after the grand success of Johny Mera Naam  The film opened with mad euphoria of Dev Anand, all the shows were full all over India for a few weeks. Though the film did Jubilee but was not a great hit.  . It was Dev Anand who carried the movie. He was at his best in the courtroom scenes with Sahu in splendid form as the public prosecutor.    Shatrughan Sinha, still trying to establish himself, came up with a nice cameo of a gangster having a change of heart. ...
