RIP Dev Sahab

On Sunday, when Dev Anand left us, an entire era of romance and melody left bollywood. I have been listening to the songs starring Dev Anand since then, I am a great fan of him, and then realized my Dev Anand favorites.

RIP Dev sahab.

The songs are in no particular order....

1) Kala Bazaar - Apni To Har Aah Ek Toofaan
Aawesome picturization of this song, sung beautifully by Mohd Rafi. My favorite part: "Dil hi to hai isne shayad bhool ki hai, Zindagi hai bhool kar hi rah miltui hai....." starts at 3:12 in this video




2) Kala Pani - Hum Bekhudi Mein Tumko Pukare
Another Gem by Mohd Rafi. I was listening to this song yesterday in car, and was trying to sing along with Rafi sahab, realized that its a very tough song. My favorite part: "Dekha kiye tumhe hum banke diwana, utara jo nasha to...."



There is a very lovely line before the song starts "Zindagi bhi ajeeb nasha hai dost, jab chadta hai to sar chad kar bolta hai

3) Prem Pujari - Shokhiyon Mein Ghola Jaye
I am not a great fan of Kishore Kumar, apart from the RD burman songs he has sung, but I am a worshipper of SD Burman's music.



4) Guide-Din Dhal Jaaye Haye
This is from one of my all time favorite movies. There is a very lovely line before the song starts "Zindagi bhi ajeeb nasha hai dost, jab chadta hai to sar chad kar bolta hai. Again a very beautiful and tough song (try singing "badnaam" and "dil ko thaam" in the first stanza) sung by Mohd Rafi. My favorite part: "Dil ke mere paas ho itne fir bhi ho....." "



5) Patita - Yaad kiya dil ne kahan ho tum
lovely movie and beautiful song
