Nalni, agree with you especially about <i>Lekin</i> but I usually draw the line at the 60s when it comes to my music. It's very rarely that I meander into the later decades, though obviously, there are some wonderful songs there too, even if few and far between.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-49441382915336391222012-11-05T05:16:29.048-05:002012-11-05T05:16:29.048-05:00What about "Mehbooba" with Hema haunting...What about "Mehbooba" with Hema haunting Rajesh Khanna (past his handsome best) and RK returning the compliment with "Mere naina saawan bhadon.."? And of course in 1990, "Lekin" with an incredibly tragic Dimple and a very very handsome and dashing Vinod Khanna as the "hauntee". A great movie with some lovely ghostly songs.

What is more, that has become the focal point. <i>Bhoot</i> was good, but I much preferred Kaun for the effect it created. The latter did not have any songs either. <i>Ghost Ghost Na Raha</i>? :) Sounds interesting!Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-33053858665145327452012-07-18T01:13:17.519-04:002012-07-18T01:13:17.519-04:00Congratulations on a wonderful post.

I guess reliance on computer generated effects to scare the audience has reduced reliance on 'ghostalgic' music. Among 21st century movies 'Bhoot' featuring Urmila Matondkar was pretty good, but I don't recall any good ghost song from it. I understand someone is now making a film titled 'Ghost Ghost Na Raha'. I hope the movie lives up to the promise of the title.Subodh Agrawalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-67017415431830458262012-07-12T21:46:13.054-04:002012-07-12T21:46:13.054-04:00AHAHAHAHAHA.

A character had splashed Noddy's legs with invisible paint, and Noddy was walking aroundd with no legs! Haha! Any sane person would've said, "pfft, wash it off," but I was 6 back then!<br /><br />And yes, maybe I really do. Every time somebody mentions the title I will end up laughing the daylights out of myself and think of Dustedoff's review and laugh even more. Incidentally, I was inspired by a role-play that I was in, so! :D I dunno any other titles though (Fail from my side.)Bombaynoirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-11089913098879974862012-07-12T19:17:36.493-04:002012-07-12T19:17:36.493-04:00How does Dev remind me of Noddy?
