Shor
was
a
masterpiece
and
the
song
Ek
Pyaar
Ka
Nagma
Hai,
Maujon
Ki
Ravaani
Hai,
Zindagi
Aur
Kuch
Bhi
Nahin,
Teri
Meri
Kahaani
Hai
plays
in
my
mind
every
time
I
think
of
my
sweet
wife,
who
passed
away
nine
years
ago.
A
Ganesh
Nadar
applauds
the
fabulous
songs
in
Manoj
Kumar
movies.
Manoj
Kumar
in
Hariyali
Aur
Rasta.
Among
the
many
things
I
loved
about
Manoj
Kumar
was
his
habit
of
making
well-known
villains
good-hearted
characters
in
his
movies.
So
we
have
Pran
in
Upkar,
Premnath
in
Roti
Kapada
Aur
Makaan
and
Prem
Chopra
in
Shaheed,
playing
good-hearted
supporters
of
the
hero.
And
then,
there
are
the
beautiful
songs
from
his
movies.
Some
of
them
hold
a
special
significance
in
my
life.
Manoj
Kumar
in
Upkar.
I
was
nine
years
old
when
Upkar
released.
I
used
to
be
scared
of
Pran
but
in
this
movie,
he
is
a
good
guy.
He
sang
the
song
Kasme
Vaade
Pyar
Wafa,
a
song
I
sang
in
my
teens
every
time
a
girl
broke
my
heart.
At
that
time,
Prime
Minister
Lal
Bahadur
Shastri
had
given
the
clarion
call,
‘Jai
Jawan
Jai
Kisaan’
and
Manoj
Kumar
responded
with
Upkar
and
its
chartbuster
song,
Mere
Desh
Ki
Dharti.
Manoj
Kumar
with
Moushumi
Chatterjee
in
Roti
Kapada
Aur
Makaan.
The
next
movie
I
remember
is
Roti,
Kapada
Aur
Makaan.
Its
song
Mehangai
Mar
Gayi
is
relevant
even
today,
when
inflation
has
kayoed
the
common
man.
Another
song
from
the
film
which
we
sang
every
time
it
rained
was
Haye
Haye
Yeh
Majboori,
picturised
on
Zeenat
Aman.
Manoj
Kumar
in
Shor.
Shor
was
a
masterpiece
and
the
song
Ek
Pyaar
Ka
Nagma
Hai,
Maujon
Ki
Ravaani
Hai,
Zindagi
Aur
Kuch
Bhi
Nahin,
Teri
Meri
Kahaani
Hai
plays
in
my
mind
every
time
I
think
of
my
sweet
wife,
who
passed
away
nine
years
ago.
One
line
in
this
touches
me
more
than
the
others:
Kuch
Paakar
Khona
Hai
Kuch
Khokar
Paanaa
Hai,
Jeevan
Ka
Matlab
Toh
Aanaa
Aur
Jaanaa
Hai.
Manoj
Kumar
with
Hema
Malini
in
Sanyasi.
Sanyasi
was
a
flop
but
the
song
Chal
Sanyasi
Mandir
Mein
lingered
on
for
years.
Manoj
Kumar
and
Hema
Malini
in
Dus
Numbri.
I
love
listening
to
the
title
song
from
Dus
Numbri:
Yeh
Duniya
Ek
Numbari
Toh
Main
Dus
Numbri.
Manoj
Kumar
in
Purab
Aur
Paschim.
Hai
Preet
Jahan
Ki
Reet
Sada
from
Purab
Aur
Paschim
is
an
all-time
favourite
when
I
feel
patriotic.
Manoj
Kumar
with
Sadhana
in
Woh
Kaun
Thi.
Shreya
Ghosal’s
favourite
song
is
Lag
Jaa
Gale
from
Raj
Khosla’s
Woh
Kaun
Thi,
picturised
on
Sadhana
and
Manoj
Kumar.
Manoj
Kumar
with
Nanda
in
Gumnaam.
And
who
can
forget
the
haunting
title
track
Gumnaam
Hai
Koi
from
the
scary
movie
Gumnaam?
Manoj
Kumar
in
Be-Imaan.
Jai
Bolo
Beimaan
Ki
from
Be-Imaan
has
some
interesting
lyrics:
Na
Ijjat
Ki
Chinta,
Na
Fikr
Koi
Upman
Ki,
Jai
Bolo
Beimaan
Ki
Jai
Bolo.
Manoj
Kumar
with
Waheeda
Rehman
in
Pathar
Ke
Sanam.
Pathar
Ke
Sanam
gave
me
two
favourites:
Mehboob
Mere
and
the
title
track
Patthar
Ke
Sanam
Tujhe
Humne.
