So filmifan sent me the best birthday wish I got from a friend yesterday. I burst out laughing and it made my day. Here it is:
By the way, the song is from a 1967 movie Farz, which was the closest Bollywood got to a spy thriller à la James Bond, played by Jeetendra with the codename 'Agent 116.' And the song is sung by one of my favorite singers, Rafi saheb. I guess it's a reminder for me to check out this movie soon.
I also found out that I share my birthday with an amazing playback singer (another of my favorites) who worked in over 150 movies, and was the voice behind numerous gems like the heartbreaking Waqt ne kiya in Guru Dutt's Kagaz Ke Phool, as well as added sizzle to the coquettish and romantic songs in C.I.D. and Aar-Paar. Enjoy her songs as long as they remain on youtube:
1. Baabuji dheere chalna
2. Aankhon hi aankhon mein
3. Sun sun zalima
4. Ye lo main hari piya
