Gori Chalo Na Hans Ki Chaal (Mehmood & Shobha Khote)

Resham ki Dori - Sajan [1969]

Beautiful lyrics and wonderfully picturized song. Enjoy!

Saheb - Kya Khabar ...

I used to listen to this song long time back and always liked it, more because of the Kishore da's voice and the emotions it predicts in the movie. Yesterday night when I was listening to desi-radio, somebody requested this song and I remembered how beautiful it is. Here it is ...

क्या ख़बर क्या पता, क्या खुशी है ग़म है क्या - २
ले के आंसू जो हँसी दे, ग़म के बदले जो खुशी दे
राज ये जाना उसीने, जिंदगी क्या हैं जिंदगी

क्या ख़बर क्या पता, क्या खुशी है, ग़म है क्या
अपने दिल का दर्द ये, उमर भर हसकर पिए
जीना उसका जीना हैं, जो औरों की खातिर जिए - २

काम ले जिन्दादिली से, यूँ ही खेले जिंदगी से
राज ये जाना उसीने, जिंदगी क्या हैं जिंदगी

क्या ख़बर क्या पता, क्या खुशी है, ग़म है क्या
ले के आंसू जो हँसी दे, ग़म के बदले जो खुशी दे
राज ये जाना उसीने, जिंदगी क्या हैं जिंदगी
क्या ख़बर क्या पता,क्या खुशी है, ग़म है क्या

Chak De India! (Go India)

Somehow sports movies have done well in India in the past. A recent example was Lagaan, which had a chunk of storyline based on the game of Cricket and Chak De India which is purely based on the condition of Indian Women's Hockey team and how a single person makes it win the World Cup. It is not a story about how hockey should be played or how it should be won, it is more about what it means to be deterministic, what teamwork is all about and what one can learn in life with their defeats more than their successes. By the way the story of the film is based on the life of former Indian Hockey Goalkeeper and coach of the women's Indian Hockey team, Mir Ranjan Negi.

Although I would have personally liked the treatment to the subject a little less dramatic, but hey I am not complaining. This is a Bollywood flick and it always deserves a little bit more drama than usual :)
