I have Shatru, Phir Wohi Raat and Naukri with me at the moment. The rest of the movies are at home and I’m out on a project now. Dont know when I’ll get to go back home. I have heard that Naukri is very good. I’ll watch it soon and write about it.

I dont have that movie with me. Let me see if I can find it online. I know, it’s been so long since I saw a movie.

Yes, I learnt that few years ago that they were born on the same day. Well, saying Dharmendra looks gorgeous all by himself would be an understatement!

I still remember watching Bandini with my dad. I was drooling over Dharam so much that dad almost disowned me

Co-incidentally Sharmila Tagore too shared her birthday with Dharmendra. Dharmila was a very good jodi. The other one which I like is Dharmasha (Dharmendra-Asha Parekh)

Thank you so much sirji! It’s just that we seldom get to hear these songs today. Though B4U Music and Mastiii have programs dedicated to old songs, it’s usually the more famous numbers that they regularly play.
I came across two more songs which are not as popular as the other songs from the same movies, but which I like immensely. I had always known these songs but never knew they were picturised on Dharmendra, hence missed out in the post. Will start the next post with them.
You mentioned that Rafi saab modulated his voice for five leading actors….Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Dharmendra, BIswajeet….I can only think of these 4 at the moment…who is the 5th in your view? Dev Anand? Dilip Kumar?

And Dharam was Rafi Sahaab’s favourite too. The fact of the matter is that Rafi Sahaab used to modulate his voice to suit the actor. In fact just the course of the day he actually modulated his voice for five leadings actors of the day.
The songs posted by you Archana used to be very popular. I have never forgotten tumhaari mulaaqaat se…. and naa jaane kyooN…which as pointed out by you were comparatively less popular. In fact all those songs figure among my top favourites. I commend you for the selections and the posts.

Yes, Rafi and Dharam make a great combination!
Am so glad you liked the songs
Yes, all of them will be with Rafi.
I was aware of only a handful of songs that Rafi had sung for Raj Kapoor. Just discovered that there are 22+ songs! Am getting the list from Venkat ji (one of the biggest collectors of Rafi’s songs).
