So it totally makes it to a list of ghost songs in the "pretend ghosts" section!<br /><br /><b>Anonymous</b>, old songs had the kind of poetry that is completely extinct from the songs of today!<br /><br /><b>sophy</b>, I had <i>Mere mehboob qayamat hogi</i> on my list but discarded it because it was more "invisible man" than "spirit"! And <i>Mere naina saawan bhaado</i> is the major reason (along with <i>Chingari koi bhadke</i>) why Kishore Kumar will never be my favorite singer - I HATE that song!<br /><br /><b>AKM</b>, sadly for me, <i>Mere naina saawan bhado</i> IS a very popular song. Used to turn up on radio and TV all the time. I don't think I'll ever forgive RD Burman and Kishore Kumar for that song's constant assault on my ear drums!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-52587827173793018472011-03-05T09:44:56.979+01:002011-03-05T09:44:56.979+01:00Ahh, someone just beat me to it.

The songs plays at different points in the movie and they have all the tropes--swinging chandelier, banyan tree, woman in white... that I love.<br /><br />Two other songs I like are Mere Mehboob Qayamat hoge from Mr X in Bombay and Akele Hain Chale Aao from the Rajesh Khanna movie Raaz.<br /><br />Oh...Mere naina sawan baadhon (Mehbooba) counts as old song too. The Lata version is pretty scary.

Instead, I think that a little less foundation+powder and a more natural colored lipstick would work better. ;D<br /><br /><b>samir</b>, Shammi Kapoor is not a ghost in <i>Janam janam ka saath hai</i>. He is merely pretending to be one to get Babita to fall for him! <i>Aaja re pardesi</i> is pretty haunting, but I thought Madhumati does not give up the ghost till after the song.<br /><br /><b>Pessimisissimo</b>, you should try <i>Guide</i>. Waheeda Rehman looks even more glamorous there. And yes, a ghost plus Rafi is exactly what a good haunting song should have! If I ever have a ghost haunting me, he better be singing in Rafi's voice. :D<br /><br /><b>dunkdaft</b>, agreed. <i>Tu jahan jahan rahega</i> is goose-bump-inducing great!<br /><br /><b>Richard</b>, thanks for those songs! Love <i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRBv2FGx6eo" rel="nofollow">Tune haye mere zakhme jigar ko chho liya</a></i>. Had I heard it before, this would definitely have made it to my list. The film has been in my to-watch pile forever. I really need to watch it now, at least for the songs! <i>Parchhayiyan</i> is another one with extremely lovely songs.<br /><br />I am not sure about the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36foqai1cyA" rel="nofollow"><i>Mousiqar</i> song</a> having ghosts, either. The singer sounds and looks too happy to be a ghost!<br /><br /><b>memsaab</b>, I have never watched <i>Bees Saal Baad</i> either. Maybe it's time I did it, too! It's sunny and warm enough to watch a ghost tale, now.Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-40033685366687624602011-02-22T15:01:06.195+01:002011-02-22T15:01:06.195+01:00It is perfect haunting weather indeed, and maybe y...It is perfect haunting weather indeed, and maybe you have finally spurred me to watch Bees Saal Baad :) Lovely, funny post!memsaabhttp://memsaabstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-57315778482803514002011-02-21T09:30:07.029+01:002011-02-21T09:30:07.029+01:00Bollyviewer, this looks like a very interesting li...Bollyviewer, this looks like a very interesting list... I admit I don't know most of these, except for my favorite...<br /><br />Speaking of which, I hesitate at this point to offer up more Lata ghost songs, but I must! :) I am kind of fond of the Mahal ripoff sequences in Nagina (1951)...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRBv2FGx6eo<br /><br />And there's this Lata-Talat song from V. Shantaram's Parchhaiyan... It appears first as a dream that Shantaram's character has, but it foreshadows the scene at the end, when we find out that Jayashree's character had been murdered and is now a ghost (notice the cemetery)... I found this to be one of the most moving sad/tragic endings ever...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfBZs15g31U<br /><br />And then Lata's old mentor apparently did a little of her own haunting- ghost-type playback singing up in Pakistan. (I watched this movie, Mousiqar, without subtitles, which means I didn't know exactly what was going on, but it sure looked like a haunting to me)...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36foqai1cyA<br /><br />There's also this other Pakistani movie (Hamraaz) with Noor Jehan doing playback that came out a few years later... Once again I don't know if there are actually any ghosts in this story (Dishoom, would you happen to know, if you're still reading comments here...?), but this song has got one of the best haunted-house kinds of scenes that I have ever seen. (Meanwhile, Dustedoff should recognize this as my recent "birthday card." :) And Dustedoff, let me add to the requests for you to do a list too! )<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNTuunJk56M<br /><br />I hope it's not inappropriate for me to (once again) reach outside of Bollywood to share Pakistani favorites too... But I suppose that you will at least understand the lyrics in those. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-28226271281158068622011-02-21T04:17:13.118+01:002011-02-21T04:17:13.118+01:00Tu jahaan jahaan rahega.

You MUST do a 'ten...<b>dustedoff</b>, I second Harvey. You MUST do a 'ten most haunting songs' list! There are so many haunting songs that have nothing to do with ghosts - like <i>Tum pukar lo</i>, for example. <i>Jhoom jhoom dhalti raat</i> was on this list too, till I realised that my list was too Lata-heavy and I needed my ghosts to sing in some different voices!<br /><br /><b>Sharmi</b>, Sadhana and Sunil Dutt make a great pair and they look so good together, too. I might have found <i>Woh Kaun Thi</i> a whole lot more bearable if only it had Sunil Dutt...<br /><br /><b>dishoomdishoom</b>, thanks for that. I have only seen the Malayalam version of the song (and film) before, and this seems even better because I can actually understand the lyrics! Who is the male dancer with Vidya? He is very good.<br /><br /><b>harvey</b>, a skeleton dancing to <i>I am a disco dancer</i> would either make a cheesy song cheesier or a lot cooler, and I'm still not sure which it would be! <br /><br />"<i>Between a ghost Raaj Kumar and a living Manoj Kumar, poor Waheeda doesn't have much of a choice, eh?!</i>" That is exactly what I was thinking, too - a choice between the devil and the deep sea! Poor poor Waheeda Rehman. No wonder she takes to walking in her sleep. <br /><br />Do you honestly think a stubble would increase Biswajit's macho appeal? Methinks he would just be hirsute...<br /><br /><b>dunkdaft</b>, <i>Yara sili sili</i> does have a certain ring to it, does it not? It's certainly not as good as any of the other songs in the list (it's from the 90s, after all), and yet, it is no less memorable, in an equally good way!<br /><br /><b>Shweta</b>, <i>Jhoom jhoom dhalti raat</i> lost out to <i>Kahin deep jale kahin dil</i> and the fact that I like my ghosts to sing in voices that are not always Lata Mangeshkar!Bollyviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270927806254662068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149142221218445999.post-185851072387515402011-02-19T19:47:10.323+01:002011-02-19T19:47:10.323+01:00I love this post! esp bhoot bangla and mahal- big...I love this post! esp bhoot bangla and mahal- big fan!
